Just a little side note on tables Naval Combat

Post by juntoalmar »

Hi

Checking the Anti aircraft resolution on Naval Combat.

Total the target units’ anti-aircraft factors. Locate this total on the anti-air row of the naval combat chart

The Naval Combat Chart on the manual & game only says "Surface" on the row, and there is no column for "Enemy bombers". You have to check the WiFChart to see the whole of it.

It took me a while to find out.

At least in WIF they call Charts to the A4 and A3 documents but also to the parts of it that rule a specific part of t he game.

They speak of Wather Charts, Terrain effects Chart, Naval Combat Chart, US Entry Actions Chart ...

Yous are right and this is something that should be mended.

For some reason what MWIF Calls "naval Combat Results Table" , which should be the same as the part of the WIF table called by that name, omits the AA results. It's ok if the MWIF designer preferred it this way, but then he should point you to the NAval Combat Chart that is included in the WIF Chart.

WIF game never refers to a "WIF CHART", the fact that this chart is called WIF chart is exclusive of MWIF, and in WIF it never existed the 1st chart you are posting, this is a summary MWIF makes, excluding for some reason the AA results.

So, for WIF players this problems doesn't exist, we all know that the one and only Naval Combat Chart is the one in the so called (In MWIF) "WIF chart", but for those not familiar with wif, yes it can be messy, I see it now.

MWiF has a separate Anti-Aircraft Combat Result Table in the Help menu. This table includes a very useful table telling you the mean and std deviation for the various possible combat results.

The fact that you are told to look in the wrong place is an unfortunate legacy of simply copying the RAW 7 rule into the WiF rules.
