I'm sure David will be along shortly to answer personally, but has he done a set of submarine/anti-submarine rules? I like Action Stations and could see a sub/a/s game along the same lines. |

Only the ASW rules that were in the first edition of Action Stations, I'm afraid, and they were very limited in application. Actually I have a set on file from years ago but I've not managed to make them work yet. |

Sorry to hear that, David. I was so hoping. |

And do you have a set of your Cod Wars rules on digits? I can't seem to find my copy of the magazine that had them… I think that would be a hoot to run at a Con. Umm… like you sort of just did… yeah. Eric |

Eric, you can actually download it from – of all places – shapeways. Go to Shapeways and do a search for Cod Wars. One of the two pages that sells Cod Wars ships has the link for the rules. |

So, presumably the fish may have won the engagement at Cod Wars, since the humans that prey upon them are otherwise occupied. The Cod Wars ships I've seen photos of look very nice. What scale, or how long are they? Oh, and back on topic, I'd be interested in the sub and anti-sub rules as well. |

Sundance, David Manley did do a set of generation tables for an ACW naval rules set that can be easily adapted for subs. I used those tables as the basis for solo movement of cloaked ships in space combat rules Full Thrust (with his permission,of course…) PDF link Hope it helps. |

Thanks, thedrake. I'll take a look. Mako11, the Cod Wars ships are 1/1250. I haven't seen them personally, but as they are mostly trawlers, support vessels and a couple of small warships they would range from probably 1-1/2 or 2" to 3 or 4". |

Sundance has it right. The Shapeways ones by Decapod are lovely, and he has just completed set #3 which I'll be ordering later tonight. for "old school" models (i.e. lead) look out for the old Fleetline models from the 1970s which pop up on Ebay every now and then |

Thanks for the info. I appreciate it. |
