As long as the gaming system is properly done and good the weird fluff can be tolerated.

One of the armament we are still testing for theme is torpedoes.

Current setup is just direct strike with active defence for counter but the following ideas have been thrown around:

• Torps get 100% damage/shots/dice increase but fire using fixed arc rules (meens implementing those to FA)
• Torps get 50% damage/shots/dice increase but line of fire can not be drawn through ship bases
• Torps count as boarding dice, you get to shoot them down before the roll is made

Comments and ideas welcome.

Very interesting and entertaining read, appreciated, always nice to see some story context/writeup. Those Ottomans sure do have interesting tactics with the cloud generators.

Welcome aboard

Thank you, Lieutenant.

Welcome aboard! I think you may be our first member from Iceland...glad you found our little corner of the internet. You'll find a lot of DW admirals here at Man Battlestations, so you're in good company.

Thank you Vice Admiral Landlubber 

I pretty sure there is one more Icelander in here since the fall of Spartan games, I've been assisting him in converting Battlefleet Gothic to the DW:Fleet Action rules. It is also good to know that there is still DW forum activity somewhere, but I also want to dip into some other naval wargames and discuss naval tactics.

Which brings me to another point, is there some good page/place where one can read about fleet tactics and maneuvers?

Roll Call / Hail from the North Atlantic

Reporting in from the North Atlantic, Iceland.

Been in naval wargaming for many years, starting with Battlefleet Gothic back in 99', testing few others (as well as some video games) in the mean time and now recently Dystopian Wars. I really do with that some company will pick up DW because I really like that gaming system, my Italian Fleet demands it!

Hope to have interesting and productive discussions in these forums with you all.
