Haven’t played for awhile under those rules. That Germany Navy thing sounds like it would be a huge advantage.

I like the extra bomber placement and Great Britain stops Japan scenario.

Thank you for typing out the rules to the Kremlin varaint. Who ever did that.

Graf Spee wasn’t technically a BB, but what the hell–cool rules… :grin: !

Graf Spee was a pocket batlleship. 35 000 tons. Not enough to classify as a battleship.
But more than a battlecruiser.

too much for me to remember!

i don’t think the graf spee was 35,000 tons.

i think it was 15,000. i’ll find out.

“Armament six 28 cm quick firing guns in twin turrets, three 15 cm quick firing guns single mounted, six 10.5 cm anti-aircraft guns, eight torpedo tubes 53.3 cm calibre, overall length 593 ft, beam 69.5 ft, draught 21.66 ft, weight approximately 12,100 tons”

12,100 tons!

Yeah, it was more like a CA with BC guns. Cool design idea, but the “Deutschland class” was downgraded during the war to CA status…

FYI, if a page won’t let you cut or copy, and you have netscape, right click and “open link in composer”. Then you can copy. It is a lot easier than typing it out.

That’s a trick almost as important as learning how to cut and paste :smile:

From what I can tell Battleship bombardment rule is a welcome edition, though if you find players able to pull off such a maneuver with massed BBs, then the game is already lost. What I like to use is a rules variant where all defending units hit by the initial battleship bombardment are immediately removed from the battle board without having a chance to fire back – similar to subs.

The Neutral Territories is of another variation I would dare to try out, and it’s even historically accurate! The what-if scenario with Germany and the American Axis Powers is plain amusing. Kudos for whoever wrote these Kremlin Rules.
