Struggling With Collision Rules

[KirkH]

Thanks. It appears for every Sails of Glory player there is a different opinion on how collisions should be handled. It seems to me since the bases are so much bigger than the actual ship models that bases touching shouldn't necessarily constitute a collision. What I might do is say for any potential collision you put down the two maneuver cards and see if the planned paths of the two ships cross each other. If they clearly do then it's a collision but if not then it's a near miss.

I have contemplqated this for some time myself Kirk. When playing Wings I only count a clash if the aircraft modeld collide so why not the ships.
I will give this more thought, as the most complaints from players always concerns the colliding ship rules.

I also like your ideas on this option for the damage inflicted Uwe. it seems eminently more historically realistic than the no damage to enemy ships rule and yet is far less draconian than the current rule which seems to severe.
