Boy, I can't seem to win with getting this post up. Overview of GQ3 / FAI, Avalanche Press, and Naval Thunder. link Actual reviews and comparison playtests in the future. |

I had hoped you played the same scenario with all three rules to get a proper comparison. |

Hey Mobius,
Yeah, I'm going to do that in the near future this was just an overview and initial thoughts, per the post. At the moment, I'm still getting myself organized with the rules themselves and finishing up some of the models. First playtest will be WWII in 1/2400, in the Solomons as that's what I have models most ready for. Anchors aweigh! |

Good luck with the play tests. Been thinking about getting Avalanche Press's Jutland. |

It's really good – expensive, but thorough and there's loads and loads of playing in it. I think it really puts forward how all naval battles are caused by some sort of strategic concern – very different from many land battles. As a surprise, the entire Baltic is also on map, and it is just as interesting a naval conflict as the North Sea, IMHO, so it is really like getting two naval campaigns. |

OK, I lied – I'm painting my WWII, so I decided to try 1898 instead.

However, the principles are the same. AP rules are pretty similar for our eval purposes. I will get to the WWII stuff, uncertain in what order it will be. |
