I thought I played a little slower, but the two sides still charged and got 'stuck in' pretty damn quick! I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it.<br /><br />V/R,<br />Jack<br />Just Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552962741823929433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8587420621877884610.post-32450986239170052072017-08-12T05:02:27.648-07:002017-08-12T05:02:27.648-07:00This is fantastic stuff.

Destroyer action should be fast and furious but that looks a bit *too* fast :D Will look forward to the next bat rep with range tweaks :)Toxic Pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610996381605071743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8587420621877884610.post-59286623495943036432017-08-10T17:51:41.054-07:002017-08-10T17:51:41.054-07:00TP

It provided for just a little bit of pre-fight maneuver, a little more developed, but still plenty fast and furious. I think I like it, felt better than ships flying past each other, just stopping to fire on the way by.<br /><br />V/R,<br />Jack<br />Just Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552962741823929433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8587420621877884610.post-31910758084311265272017-08-10T07:27:22.991-07:002017-08-10T07:27:22.991-07:00"*So, the fight has barely started and two Ja..."*So, the fight has barely started and two Japanese destroyers and one ABDA cruiser and three destroyers have already cut loose with their torpedoes, the Japanese targeting the ABDA cruisers and the ABDA ships targeting the Japanese troopships. Whaddaya think? Is that goofy, or what you would expect? To me it seems like what you would expect, just a little early, but these fights have been kinda fast and furious."<br /><br />Given the small physical area you're playing on relative to the size of the models and ranges, no. Basically it's compressed everything into starting right at the sharp end!<br /><br />I suspect you'll see a difference when you halve the fire & movement ranges... (or clear your big table!).<br /><br />Good stuff, very fast and furious.<br /><br />Toxic Pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610996381605071743noreply@blogger.com
