New Rules for Maritime Territories and Naval Battles

[Axiose]

I'd like to point out that I came up with all of this and Sars was just the figure head for it all.

Really...

I swear...

Okay I did squat but I did pipe up with things like "Hmmm that's cool!" and "Oooh shiney"

Wow, that's a lot to take in at once. Nice additions, they should add more depth to our war game.

I have one question though, I didn't see any mention about PP for active patrols. I assume the PP value to attack a region is the same as over land (5 PP iirc) and 3 PP for a voyage which is similar to exploration?

Now I'm going to go convince my king to build a navy...

Active patrols don't consume any PP. The only thing you need is at least one captain and one ship.

"Voyage" refers to any action involving the use of ships to pas sthrough territorial waters. Attacking other nations will still cost 5 PP, and raids/explorations will cost 3 PP.

A few other questions-

1. What path is taken when there are multiple possibilites for the path? IE Falena attacks Seiba, there are three differnet paths assuming that they go from Caldeaux, more if it starts from a different location.

2. How does one go about taking control of a opponent's maritime location? Do they have to fight to gain it? Is moving through it and not encountering anyone considering taking it?

3. In the same vein as question 2, how does one take nuetral maritime locations?

OK, one more question:

1. If Nation A attacks Nation B's naval territory, and nation B has ships, but Nation B has no ship patrolling the attacked area, is it an instant victory for Nation A?

Nope, even without a patrol, as long as nation B has ships elsewhere, there is a chance they can get to the territory in time. This would depend on proximity.

I love to see how basic elements of the War Games evolve into such complexity... but I hate the inevitable confusion that follows, hehe. Just a few questions here:

1. So, assigning the Captain, Artillery, and Marines is free with the purchase of the boat, and they can be changed at the beginning of each new Phase?

2. Are Naval Units a thing of the past, or will they give their ships an even greater bonus if they are made Captains?

3. Will naval battles that are cut off from the capital be fought at 75% effectivness?

4. In Falena's situation, the regions they hold that are ex-Harmonian are cut off from their capital because they do not own naval superiority in some of the regions between them. So in this case, will they be fighting at 75% effectivness?

5. Same scenario as above, will they still generate PP from the cut off regions?

6. How long does it take to repair a ship?


That's it for now. I'm sure there's more I can ask. (Sorry if there are any duplicate questions. This is a bit over-whelming in nature, and I can't remember all that's been asked.)

You always seem to amaze and stun and scare me with each new addition. It gets so complicated, how will everyone involved handle it without having their head explode? oh well, adds realism I suppose.

so what happens next? Can we have animal units? beast comanders?

So if I get this straight... If Nation A wants to attack Nation B and there are 3 black dots in between thy can fight up to 4 battles that phase? 3 against whatever monsters or pirates in the uncontrolled water regions and the fight for naval superiority against Nation B. Am I understanding that properly?

What happens if a nation loses to monsters or pirates on the open water, do they lose boats or what? If a nation encounters a pirate clan of ships, can they board the vessels and take them? if so can they be used immediately or must the nation wait a phase to re-use those commandeered pirate ships?

Also, how many ships can be sent per naval conquest mission? Is there a maximum? Also how many cargo ships go with each ship? All thats really stated is "you are automatically assumed to have max number of cargo shipes allowed for your fleet. " In that case if they're free, We'll send 40 of them out... I mean there has to be a set limit right?

Sorry to be so inquisitive here, but I want to make sure I grasp this entire thing. I don't want to go planing something only for it all to be a waste because I forgot some technicality you know?

If a fleet comes upon more than one battle per voyage but doesn't want to figth each one, I'm assuming you can change tactics for the different fights? Like if nation A encounters pirates on the way to nation B, you can set tactics to "Break Through" until the reach their destination where the tactics change to "Disperse" so they can properly fight their desired opponent?

Also, if damage is incurred on the way to the destination I'm assuming the damage is also taken into account when they reach it and go into that fight with whatever losses incurred on the way? Just to make sure here.

I think thats it for now and thak you Sars for being patient with all of our questions. I know I appreciate it.

If a nation decides to build a vessel at the beginning of a phase, will the vessel be available to use for that phase or do they have to wait until the next phase?
