Thanks Ruckdog,
I was hoping that Spartan would release 2.5 out, but it never came due to their sinking 'neath the waves to Davy Jone's Locker (take my hat off for the deceased). So now I can have a look at the improvements they made and see which goes better for our group. Also, since there is a thought I have of adapting the rule-set for historical pre-dreadnought naval actions, I have more scope to choose which of the three - V1.0, V2.0 and V2.5 would be easier to tweak for the idea. I will surely get our navy sailors and my fellow club Admirals (be they British, Yank, Prussian, or Danes or any other respectable individuals) to raise our horns and drink to your health!
So here's to you from our Danes:
Skål!
