    We've had Wings of Glory and are expecting Sails of Glory. Will the more modern sea battles be BOG - Battleships of Glory??

    Just a thought...

    Andrea wrote about it on Aerodrome - there is a problem in tactics, because modern navy battles are not based on manouvres like in Napoleonic era or like WWI and WWII dogfigths. It would be only about ability to accurately aim the guns (same as moderna dogfigth which are only about rockets).
    Does anyone play A&A navy miniatures? :confused:

    Guys, lets try and get in the practice of using the official abriviations of the games... WGF or WGS and SGN. It will be less confusing for those coming to the site later that only know it as the official ones and it will also help the site in search engine results when people search for the game.

    Thanks,

    The Royal

    Saw you thread. I have the Axis & Allies WAS ships. Once suggested they do a WWI game. You could use the old Avalon Hill Jutland rules to play with them. I have to pull out my Wooden Ships & Iron Men and see how SGN ships can be applied to the rules.

    I love the idea of the matelots struggling to elevate the cannons high enough to even hope to hit a plane! I bet the rules for ship vs aircraft combat would be worth seeing!!:D:D:D

    Hook the mast with a wingtip, and pull the ship over. :)
