OK, I know it looks hellishly complicated but this is the draft version - the final copy will be a model of clarity….
After a pretty hectic couple of weeks and with little time to do anything meaningful gaming wise, I was able to spend a big chunk of today grappling with the ever thorny subject of firing arcs for my new naval rules. Well, after much deliberation I think that I may have finally gotten on the right track. To be more accurate, I am probably now at least at the right station so the right track would be a welcome bonus!
I seem to have managed to have both over and under thought the whole subject of firing arcs - a legacy from The Portable Ironclads Wargame perhaps - but am now cautiously optimistic that they are where they should be.
I mentioned previously that there are six core arcs with an additional fourteen added for extra detail if required. Well, that has now changed a little in that I now have eight core arcs and am hoping to dispense with the extras!
In the short term this will require testing so I will need to (re)spec some ships to the above template. I want this to work and so decisions will need to be made as to what guns can shoot where on all of the ship charts I have prepared thus far. Not to mention all the appropriate chapters that reference the older version.
Frustrating but needed so there is little point in dwelling on the subject - onwards and upwards and all that….
