The second section 2.3 – Weather and Tactical Visibility generates the types of item. Weather (Sea State) One of the players rolls a d10 using Terrain Generation Table A to determine the number of items. Weather is abstracted by the idea of 'Sea State'. This is determined as part of the initial set up, which also takes into account the Terrain Generation Table A visibility distances that will apply in the game. Note that the more extreme states have been omitted for the reasons outlined earlier. d10 # of items Wind Direction 1 4 Wind direction should be decided even if the sea state is 0 (flat 2 – 3 3 calm, no wind), since there will always be some movement of the 4 – 6 2 air, and this must be taken into account when using smoke. use a 7 – 10 1 “Scatter” Die then place a wind direction marker on the table.

Weapon damage of type “X” cannot be repaired. Vessels affected by a “W” result test to remove Suppression Markers at the end of the Turn. In each case a test uses one of the ships capacity for the turn. If a test is failed and there is still available capacity a further attempt is permitted this turn. Damage Control is attempted by declaring which system is being repaired, then taking a Crew Test. If the test is successful (a final score of 6+) then the system is repaired, otherwise it remains out of action. If a ship has no Damage Control Teams then it may attempt one test per turn, and this test must be re-rolled if successful.

Any vessels fitted with stern launching gear must be travelling at 25 knots or more to safely launch their torpedoes. If travelling at less than 25 knots, roll a d10. On a 1-3 the torpedo fails to run and is lost.

Type Class HB Speed Weapons Notes Germany: MTBs (S Boats) The German Schnellboot, or S Boat, is regarded as being the most advanced conventional coastal forces vessel of the war. Excellent design, particularly with regard to its hydrodynamic properties and its centre of gravity, produced a boat that remained almost level as speed increased. This avoided the production of a large bow wave and spray sheet. In contrast, Allied fast craft had a pronounced 'bow up' appearance at high speeds, producing a large bow wave and spray sheet that was particularly visible at long ranges. Torpedo reloads were carried as required, so some vessels may not be carrying them for some games. Most classes could carry mines when torpedoes were left ashore. All S Boats would normally have carried at least 2 LMGs in addition to the listed armament. These should be treated as LMG (2d) [P] [S]. Sometimes a single LMG was carried on the focsle; treat as LMG (2d) [FPS]. **German 20mm guns came in two versions with different rates of fire: If fitting FlaK 30s, the hit dice annotations are: single (1d), twin (1d+) and quad (2d+). If using FlaK 38s the annotations are (1d+), (2d) or (3d) respectively. The Germans also made extensive use of commandeered Italian craft following the Armistice in 1943. See the Italian lists for details of these craft. The Germans made use of captured vessels. As well as those noted above they used KJ25 (ex British HDML), RA9 (ex British Fairmile 'B' - ML306), RA10 (ex British/US 77' Elco), RA11 (ex British Campaer & Nicholson Blockade Runner 'Master Standfast'), RA51 (ex Dutch Mv1 Class minesweepers) and many Norwegian boats.

They were designed as motor minesweepers, but soon became a 'jack of all trades', being equipped for escort duties, minesweeping and minelaying. As the war progressed the armament of these boats increased. Up to 6 extra 20mm cannon were fitted where possible. The R-boats were also the first operational warships to be fitted with the Voith Schneider vertical axis propeller. This gave the vessels so fitted a higher degree of manoeuvrability than vessels with conventional propellers, as the thrust could be directed through 360°. The need for rudders was also removed. Voith Schneider propellers were not widely used, probably due to their complexity, and have only recently been introduced for use on modern minehunters. Also of interest and featuring what we regard as modern technology, the boats of the TS1 class were some of the world's first operational hydrofoils, and were deployed in Norwegian waters. The Kriegsfischkutter (KFK) was a general-purpose small patrol craft based on a trawler hull. They were initially designed with ASW operations in mind, being fitted with the German version of ASDIC and depth charge chutes, but were not overly successful. In the patrol and escort role they carried a wide range of armament. The fit described above is typical, but the 37mm gun was often replaced by a quad 20mm (2d+ or 3d**) [FPS]. ** The dice annotation depends on the use of a Flak 30 or Flak 38 respectively.

United States: PT Boats US forces also used a number of British designs, apart from the Vosper 70 foot types. These were built in US yards. Various MLs were also used for anti submarine operations on the East Coast but were not popular and were regarded as stop-gaps until the SC Class sub chaser was available in sufficient numbers.

Initially all would ten 20mm cannon. Up to 4 torpedo tubes could be added. Some be unarmed, but as the war progressed all would carry at least a 3” German raiders also carried LS Class torpedo boats and Arado Ar gun. This would be a typical arrangement together with a couple of 196 seaplanes. One was sunk by British MTBs in the Channel. 20mm cannon. Schooners, caiques and barques used by the Germans in the Adriatic could be quite heavily armed. A typical fit would be two 37mm cannon firing to port and starboard with up to four 20mm cannon.
