Rule book edit

Post by Dancing Bear »

Hi Pzgndr
I was reading the rule book on naval combat, and I noticed that the example combat (section 9.2.4) does not include any reference to light or heavy fleets, that might be useful for new players.

Also, I don't know if you add some useful tables to the rule book that would easy for players to print (mostly the combat charts)

9.2.4 is still from the original manual and probably should be updated. Ideally the proportional losses rule should be implemented and then the rules/example updated accordingly. A lot of the angst regarding light fleets would lessened, for most.

For combat charts, there's already a nice printout available at http://eia.xnetz.com/Forms/EiA-combattables.pdf We could maybe clean this up and add it to the end of the manual; shouldn't be any copyright issues with something like this?
