On other rolls the torpedo does not detonate, but remains intact so that it can be used again in subsequent attacks (I am posting an update to clarify a few things soon, so I will add that in too)<br /><br />2. I tried to be non-specific, but when I'm setting up a scenario I look at an inch being around 50 to 75 yards. So the Mississippi at Vicksburg ends up being about 15-16" wide. That said I often make the rivers rather wider than they ought to be to give players more room to manoeuvre<br />David Manleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15618853603602429096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-169731664117441286.post-29642034939776809902020-01-23T15:14:17.467+00:002020-01-23T15:14:17.467+00:00Sorry if these end up as repeated questions but lo...Sorry if these end up as repeated questions but looks like my original questions didn't post properly!<br />1. What happens on a D6 roll of 3 or 4 when contacting a target ship with a Spar torpedo? I see 1 or 2 is a dud and 5, 6 it explodes but can't see anything about 3 or 4.<br />2. Did you have a ground scale in mind when you designed the game? The reason I am asking is that I see that the ACW supplement talks about narrows and just wondering what a good width is for narrows and normal rivers when playing the game. <br /><br />Thanks Simon<br /><br />PS had an excellent Lissa game with four players on Monday night with Broadside and Ram. The -2 AP modifier kept the Italian wooden Divisions largely out of the game as with the original!<br />Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16685946344478456214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-169731664117441286.post-7150130437387278912020-01-23T11:38:10.771+00:002020-01-23T11:38:10.771+00:00I think it got through :)
