Comment on Axis & Allies War At Sea Axis U-Boat Terror by Eliot http://www.wargamingforums.com/testblogging/axis-allies-war-at-sea-axis-u-boat-terror/#comment-69 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 18:33:48 +0000 http://wargamingforums.com/?p=166#comment-69 Yeah, there are some great new units. I was disappointed that Surface Action didn’t have any Dutch ships like HNLMS Java or Tromp, but glad they had USS Edsall for the early war ABDA days in the Pacific. I play War at Sea on a hex grid that covers a large table. I also scrap the return phase rule for aircraft and use the special rules dictating how far air unit types can go and how many turns they can be in flight before fuel constraints require them to land.

I did notice that your post was quiet old. I posted a reply with serious doubts as to whether I would get a response. I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks for your help trying to figure out how the rain squalls were made and thanks for the link. I will definitely check it out.

Comment on Axis & Allies War At Sea Axis U-Boat Terror by Jonathan J. Reinhart http://www.wargamingforums.com/testblogging/axis-allies-war-at-sea-axis-u-boat-terror/#comment-68 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 05:39:09 +0000 http://wargamingforums.com/?p=166#comment-68 Hi Eliot. I’m glad that you liked the post. Something to consider is that this post is from 2007 and there have been many changes to the game since then. There are newer, and better, units to field with new and improved special abilities.

I would not play this fleet today with the many other options available. But, the basic premise remains for the build. A submarine centric force with support can, when you roll those 6s, make a large impact.

Even if a ship has Torpedo Defense the ship continues to take damage. It may only take 50% of your torpedo’s damage. But, that is damage, which is not subject to any checks with Armor values. It goes straight to the hull.

That storm squall was originally posted on the Axis & Allies ForuMINI. Unfortunately I do not know how it was made. My best guess is that a base, maybe thin card or plastic, was created. The vertical sheet of rain was probably made with thin card that was cut, and painted, as it appears in the picture. A shelf is placed on top and then cotton balls are probably stretched out and glued on top.

Be sure to check on eBay, or the Axis & Allies ForuMINI, before trying to make this on your own. Many intrepid hobbyists have created this sort of thing and you can buy fantastic items at low prices. There’s a few eBay sellers who sell customized objective markers that look like sinking ships and planes (they use actual game pieces). Simply fantastic stuff. So, look around and see if you can find something that you like. Alternatively, the ForuMINI is a great place to ask if someone will make something like this for you. The people there are amazing and trustworthy.

If you are interested in War at Sea then maybe you would enjoy the other War at Sea blog posts. Clicking that link will connect you to all of the War at Sea posts.

Thanks for your comment!
