You may wish to conduct a fight on a minute-by-minute basis if the vehicles involved are slow-moving and firing their artillery at range, or during protracted sieges. Each artillery component has a rate of fire that can be used to determine how many attacks can be made in one minute. BThis section overhauls and expands on the artillery Use the "Handling Mobs" optional rule in the Dungeon component presented in the Vehicle Construction Kit, the Master's Guide (p. 250) to determine how many hits are sourcebook for creating vehicles for Dungeons & Dragons scored. Additionally, if the attack rolls would have 5th edition. disadvantage, double the number of attacks required to score one hit. Artillery Rules During the minute, vehicles take turns as normal, but all attacks are considered simultaneous: the effects of damage Artillery used as vehicle armament uses the rules in the are resolved at the end of the round. Vehicle Construction Kit unless otherwise specified. Average Damage and Damage Threshold Siege Engines Many artillery pieces deal a large number of damage dice, so The weapons in this supplement are presented for use on a it's useful to use the average damage especially when many vehicle. However, they can be used as indivudual siege weapons attack over a minute-length round. However, a engines. situation can arise where a battery has no impact because The Artillery Sizes gives the size and hit points of the siege the weapons' average damage is less than the target's engine. Its Armor Class is determined by the material it is damage threshold. constructed from. Most siege engines are wooden (AC 15). To remedy this, assume that: Medieval guns such as bombards are iron (AC 18). One-quarter (rounded down) of the attacks deal 50- Renaissance guns such as cannons are bronze or brass (AC percent less damage than the average damage. 19). One-quarter (rounded down) of the attacks deal 50- The actions required to load, aim and fire the cannon can percent more damage than the average damage. be derived from its rate of fire. The remainder deal the average damage. The Artillery Components table can be used to determine the cost of a single siege engine if necessary. If the lower of these damage values meets the target's damage threshold, you do not need to use this method. Targetting Crew and Weapons The weapons in an artillery component can target the Example A battery of ten 5-pounder cannons (average damage 22, +6 weapons of an enemy vehicle or building, in the same way attack modifier) fires at a castle wall (AC 17, damage they can target crew. threshold 30) over a minute-length round. With a normal rate This is different to attacking the artillery component itself: of fire, this is 20 attacks.

The attack is applied against target weapon's 250) is used to determine that 10 attacks hit.

A weapon in a turret or barbette is protected by the vehicle's armor. In addition, it can be rotated using auxiliary power (such as batteries, pneumatics, hydraulics or magic) included in the component. The weapon has three-quarters cover, and its crew has total cover. It can attack targets in any facing.

    THE MODERNIZATION OF THE OTTOMAN NAVY DURING THE REIGN OF SULTAN ABDÜLAZİZ (1861-1876) by DİLARA DAL A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Centre for Byzantine, Ottoman and Modern Greek Studies Department of Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham April, 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT The main focus of this study is to examine the modernization of the Ottoman navy during the reign of Sultan Abdülaziz, exploring naval administration, education, and technology. Giving a summary of the transformation of shipbuilding technologies and bureaucratic institutions of the Ottoman naval forces between 1808 and 1861, it analyses the structure of the Ottoman navy, its level of development in comparison to previous periods of time, and the condition of the vessels making up the naval fleet from 1861 to 1876. It also intends to evaluate the character of existing administrative structures at the outset of Abdülaziz’s reign in 1861 and the nature of subsequent changes, including structural reorganization of the Imperial Naval Arsenal, the Ministry of Marine, and the Naval Academy, as well as advancements in military training and seafaring; all within the context of the impact of these changes on the military, political, and economic condition of the Empire during the reign of Sultan Abdülaziz.

Hamilton James M. Rosenheim Head of Department, Donny L. Hamilton May 2008 Major Subject: Anthropology iii ABSTRACT The History and Development of Caravels. (May 2008) George Robert Schwarz, B.A., University of Cincinnati Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Luis Filipe Vieira de Castro An array of ship types was used during the European Age of Expansion (early 15th to early 17th centuries), but one vessel in particular emerges from the historical records as a harbinger of discovery: the caravel. The problem is that little is known about these popular ships of discovery, despite the fair amount of historical evidence that has been uncovered. How big were they? How many men did it take to operate such a vessel? What kind of sailing characteristics did they have? How and by whom were they designed? Where did they originate and how did they develop? These questions cannot be answered by looking at the historical accounts alone. For this reason, scholars must take another approach for learning about caravels by examining additional sources, namely ancient shipbuilding treatises, archaeological evidence, surviving archaic shipbuilding techniques, and iconographic representations from the past.

    Naval Architecture Analysis of the Civil War Ironclad CSS Virginia Nicholas Edward Marickovich Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in Ocean Engineering Alan J. Brown, Chair Stefano Brizzolara Sean M. Keary 5 December 2016 Blacksburg, Virginia Keywords: Ironclad, Naval Architecture, Civil War Naval Architecture Analysis of the Civil War Ironclad CSS Virginia Nicholas Marickovich ABSTRACT This thesis presents the results of a naval architecture analysis of the Civil War Ironclad CSS Virginia, built by the Confederate States Navy to break the Union Blockade of Hampton Roads, and which engaged the USS Monitor on the second day of the Battle of Hampton Roads, March 9th, 1862. The purpose of the analysis was to examine the ship from a naval architectural standpoint pertaining to hydrostatics, stability, weight and CG, sea keeping, and basic resistance/powering requirements. The goal was to see if the story of the CSS Virginia, destroyed on May 11th, 1862 by its own crew to keep it from falling into Union hands, could have ended differently with an attack on Washington, a Northern city, or a run to a friendly Southern port, such as Savannah or Charleston. Paramarine software was used to build a geometry model based on lines included in a book by Sumner B. Besse for ship modelers. The geometry model provided the basic measures of displacement for the hull form at a draft of 21 ft forward and 22 ft aft which in turn allowed for a weight estimate to be undertaken.
