I've seen the completed cover. The index of ships, the printers proof etc.
DEADLY WATERS should be released by CLASH OF ARMS in time for Christmas as planned.

Is the first release the Russian convoys, early Atlantic or the Gibraltar runs?

Looking forward to checking these out, Mal. Best wishes with the game!

I've been checking CoA's website regularly for this. No mention there yet…

Excellent!!

I don't know for sure, but the playtest in which I've
been involved were the Gib-UK convoys.

Rudy, did you mean size of models used, or what sort of
escorts ?

From the sessions I've seen, a really neat set of rules,
which absolutely allow the escort commander to use
'real world' tactics, with the advantages and the
disadvantages relevant to those.

I'll buy 'em post-hast…

Escort size. Much has been done about capital ships and a lot about my level the PT/MTB boats but not so much about the mid-level operations.

Ed Mohrmann Supporting Member of TMP01 Nov 2009 5:46 p.m. PST

Rudy, the games in which I've been involved had a typical
escort of DD's, Sloops, Corvettes and we actually had
in one case a CVE. The convoy itself included merchies
of various sorts, mostly < 10K tons, and were of the
'slow' variety.

One game had an 'implied' 'Heavy' escort (we could 'see'
dim largish shapes waaaaaaay out on the horizon).

Sounds fun, Ed.

Can the game be played as a solo game?

Personal logo Mal Wright Supporting Member of TMP Fezian05 Nov 2009 8:49 p.m. PST

Yes Louie N. Much of my testing was solo. When I submitted it to my test group there were several who could only test it solo. It worked really well as a solo and was just as exciting.

I for one,have been waiting what appears a long time for these rules to come out :) Glad their smoke is on the horizon!!

spacehulker07 Nov 2009 5:31 a.m. PST

oh and what size of models would really be the best??

Personal logo Mal Wright Supporting Member of TMP Fezian07 Nov 2009 8:29 p.m. PST

I use 1:3000 scale myself. But any scale can be used. You could even make some real life scale replica's and play in a very large, empty car park! evil grin
