Given the slapdash way that a lot of the ...Hi Jim,<br /><br />Given the slapdash way that a lot of the river actions were fought during the Civil War having opposed dice rolls seems to reflect the mayhem rather well! I am thinking about critical hits in some way but it will be very limited - pilot house, powerplant, steering or weaponry. I am also thinking about fire but all of this will come in time. I want to get the firing and damage dialled in first.<br /><br />Plenty to think about though!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-44296963868302361722020-10-25T16:19:44.609+00:002020-10-25T16:19:44.609+00:00Well, David, these seem to achieve your objective ...Well, David, these seem to achieve your objective of sticking to the spirit of the rules. Some people seem to hate saving throws but I am inclined to the Peter Pig view that they give both sides something to do! It seems that you aren't going to have 'special effects'. Although tempting I guess these are reflected in the gradual reduction of flotation and would add another level of record keeping. Looking forward to seeing how things work out. Best wishes.
