Having thoroughly enjoyed using Martin Rapier's hexed-based variant of the World War II rules in Neil Thomas's ONE-HOUR WARGAMES rules, I decided to set up a scenario that is not in the book … a landing on a defended beach using naval gunfire support. I made some minor changes to the rules so that I could use a battleship to provide gunfire support for the landing.
As the model battleship I was using occupies two hexes I treated it as two units that move together but that may – or may not – fire at the same target each turn. The battleship was given a starting strength of 30 points (i.e. 2 x 15) and each gun turret fired as if it were a separate artillery unit. I also included a rule that they are not allowed to fire at targets that are in hexes next to friendly units. For assessing damaged caused to the battleship, the I treated it as if it were a tank.

As I commented on your Blog, nice little game and AAR. I just love your ships and boats – very evocative. There's something about OHW rules that hit so many buttons with so little complication. |

Big Red, Thanks for the comments you made … especially about my model ships. The more I use the OHW rules, the more I like them. |

Martin Rapier, Cheers! The model battleship was actually quite easy to build. Not quick … but easy. |
