Cheers for the comments - much appreciate...Hi SoS,<br /><br />Cheers for the comments - much appreciated. the only tip re the Hexon I would suggest is that when placing it on the dining table make sure a cloth is underneanth - it stops it slipping. Other than that it is absolutely brilliant!<br /><br />The rules seem to have hit the target first time but this will only be proven after some more play tests. the visual thing was important so having the ships engaging at a range of 5 or 6 hexes (15 to 18,000 yards) felt about right although in reality probably a little on the long side for WW1. There is more work on the rules to be done but the all important core mechanics seem to tick all the boxes so I well pleased thus far.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-18774008393300159462010-10-31T17:53:13.205+00:002010-10-31T17:53:13.205+00:00Great, detailed report - seems like the rules work...Great, detailed report - seems like the rules work in a straightforward way, but are still quite realistic - I was particularly pleased to see the realistic looking engagement distances in the photos, seems like you have things well worked out.<br /><br />Many thanks for the comments on the Hexon - I had worries about it drifting apart in play, but it sounds like the clips do work!SteelonSandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12231931971295669901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-7384512076780340882010-10-31T15:36:10.914+00:002010-10-31T15:36:10.914+00:00Hi Bob,

I need to incorporate a few minor tweaks but the core mechanics appear to be fine. I will tackle these and then move on to a bigger action to see how that goes.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-5736607770800099802010-10-31T15:18:40.314+00:002010-10-31T15:18:40.314+00:00Ogrefencer,
