In the near future sense, yes!

Looking at the schedule, next weekend's game is Naval Command.

Weirdo · « **Reply #513 on:** 30 May 2018, 08:39:46 »

Any scenario requests, before I start putting things together?

Vice_Grip · « **Reply #514 on:** 30 May 2018, 13:48:56 »

I will be there Sunday for Naval Command.

As far as a scenario, no idea.

Weirdo · « **Reply #515 on:** 30 May 2018, 15:02:00 »

How about a search and rescue? We haven't done that yet, and we can just randomly decide who will be attacker and defender.

You've been building a 70s-era American fleet, right? I can build a Russian group from the same era. Twenty points?

Vice_Grip · « **Reply #517 on:** 31 May 2018, 11:29:13 »

My Vietnam Era battlegroup has a total of 27pts, so we could definitely do something like that.

Not sure if I am using the updated data cards, but I have a healthy margin of error.

Weirdo · « **Reply #518 on:** 31 May 2018, 13:30:53 »

What's your fleet roster? I could check.

I can print out a fleet roster with most current stats for you, but only if I receive the fleet list by 4 pm today.

Vice_Grip · « **Reply #520 on:** 01 June 2018, 10:44:39 »

I updated my book. 26pts total.

Essex 6
2 Belknaps (4pts each) 8
2 C.F. Adams (3) 6
2 Knox (3) 6

Glad I checked the forum this morning. I would have missed my window if I had waited to get off work.

Weirdo · « **Reply #521 on:** 01 June 2018, 10:54:00 »

I'll have a roster sheet set up for you. :)

Cool thanks. :thumbsup:

Isn't powerglove the pop artist from A Goofy Movie? ???

You spoke of wanting to do a 90s Russian fleet, right? A while back I found at a Half Price a Naval Institute Press in-depth guide to the Soviet navy as of 1991, just before the USSR dissolved. Between that and a few other sources, I managed to put together a spreadsheet showing which fleets had how many of each Naval Command-possible ship class at that point in time. Very interesting stuff, definitely makes me want to expand my Northern Fleet collection for this era.

# per fleet in 1991.

If that doesn't work, I attached the spreadsheet.

Awesome. Its going to be a bit before I start collecting another fleet. But this will come in serious handy when I do.

As far as the Chinese campaign goes. I am currently thinking of setting it 2015. Still got some research to do on specific dates. But 2015 seems like a good start as it gives the Chinese all of the ships in the book, which is still pretty limited. Past that, most of it I am pulling out of Cold Waters. Russia has fallen into economic collapse and sold most of its fleet to the Chinese.

I did buy the Target Locked rule book, I plan to start collecting minis for that, which can also be used as counters for carriers in Naval Command. As well as give us a fun new game to play. And may work air battles into the Chinese Campaign.

Also looking at adding RPG esk elements. Such as captain skills and morale, which will not affect battles, but will affect fleets on the world map.

Thoughts?

How is everyone down south?

:DAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :D...………goose

....btw.....if anyone has a spare Whitworth, we could use one for Sunday's game, please.

Ghost Bear Enforcer · « **Reply #532 on:** 08 June 2018, 12:58:50 »

I am coming down in July for a week and seeing what everyone is up to. Going to there on the weekend of the 8th.

Weirdo · « **Reply #533 on:** 08 June 2018, 13:03:32 »

I dunno if or current roster goes that far. I vote we do Battletech or Alpha Strike that weekend. :)

AchanhiArusa · « **Reply #534 on:** 09 June 2018, 00:56:32 »

Nope it doesn't. We can do either and then start with AAM in the regular rotation.

Vice_Grip · « **Reply #535 on:** 10 June 2018, 19:41:42 »

I picked up the Command Lance and Assault Lance.

That gives me the Atlas, Cyclops, Cataphract, Catapult, Raven, Blackjack, Grasshopper and Victor. I intend to pick up the Rifleman and Marauder some time between now and Sunday.

sevengates · « **Reply #536 on:** 12 June 2018, 02:16:34 »

Just ordered four more Chinese ships from GHQ: two Type 72A LSTs and two Type 54 frigates :thumbsup:

Weirdo · « **Reply #537 on:** 12 June 2018, 08:33:45 »

I'm currently painting up a batch of Russian amphibs. The word Ropucha is fun to say over and over in your head. :)

I forget, did I ever send you that link to the guy that makes flight deck decals specifically scaled for the GHQ stuff, including an entire PLAN section?

Weirdo · « **Reply #538 on:** 12 June 2018, 14:37:54 »

Looks like our schedule skips this weekend. I know some folks will likely be busy because of Father's Day, I'm genuinely not sure if I can be there, but for those who can make it, do we have any ideas?

Vice_Grip · « **Reply #539 on:** 12 June 2018, 19:43:38 »

We put mechs on the table and throw dice at each other. Just gotta watch those metal ones, they hurt, a lot...
