RE: German and Italian Carriers never show up

<t> Although I'd submit that the problem is far more logistical than historical, your task force / battle group concept sounds spot on. The U.S. utilized the task force / task group system (Napoleon's Army Corps system at sea), the U.K. operated Force K out of Malta, and the Japanese had "The ...

RE: German and Italian Carriers never show up

I know what you're saying. I recall reading something on the game once that referenced 150 km per hex.

RE: German and Italian Carriers never show up

<t> Thank you. I'm currently doing that, although I'm not sold on the naval aspect just yet. The map scale looks overly large for the unit scale; as I understand it, capital ship units represent the ships and escorts. Among other things, it means that German forays into the Atlantic consist of light ...

RE: German and Italian Carriers never show up

Many thanks Challerain for the info. I have only youtube videos for reference and am trying to determine whether the game is worth buying. Regarding light naval forces such as destroyer and light cruiser counters, does the manual reference how many vessels are represented?

RE: German and Italian Carriers never show up

<t> The Germans receive a BB in Feb 41 (Bismarck) and another in Aug 41 (Tirpitz). They start the game with two CCs (Scharnhorst and Gneisenau). So for them anyway, capital ships appear to be single units. Regardless, even if smaller units comprise divisions or even squadrons, the hex scale is ...

RE: German and Italian Carriers never show up

<t> So the naval units are single ships on a map of 20 miles per hex with no stacking? If the player moves a force of a capital ship surrounded by escorting vessels, then the distance between the starboard and port escorts (or the van and the rear) is going to be an absolute minimum of 40 miles ...

I haven't been on these forums in years, but SCWW2 looks very promising. Will it have any pre-war scenarios? Specifically, 1936- or even 1933?
