  • Command at Sea  Command at Sea - Jumpstart
    Command at Sea 1 Command at Sea - Jumpstart Fourth Edition An Introduction to the Command at Sea System 2 Command at Sea Introduction This Jumpstart guide is designed to show you how to play Command at Sea in as short a time as possi- ble. It includes a rules summary, a sample scenario and the rules necessary for playing the battle. The charts and tables needed to play the game are not included here, so you cannot play a game without the full rules set. You can, however, read this summary and then play, using the full rules as a reference. These rules are extracts from the fourth edition rules booklet. Most of the explanation, and all of the illus- trations, sidebars, and optional rules have been removed. They are repeated in the full rules set. You do not need this booklet to play the full game. This battle concentrates on the movement, visibility, gunnery, torpedo, and damage rules. Although the game could be simplified by ignoring visibility, it was such an important part of WW II at sea that playing battles without it produces unrealistic results. Rules Summary If you are familiar with wargaming, you can probably get most what you need from this one-page sum- mary and use the rules booklet as a reference. Wargamers are an impatient lot. Tactical Turns are three minutes long, with movement and fire simultaneous and plotted in advance. A thirty-minute non-combat Intermediate Turn is provided for long movements. Plotting is followed by movement, then planned fire, detection, and reaction fire phases.

(References to this study should include the foregoing statement.) ii ABSTRACT Field Expedient Armor Modifications to US Armored Vehicles, by MAJ Matthew A. Boal, 103 pages. This thesis examines field expedient modifications to US armored vehicles by US Army and US Marine Corps armored vehicle crewmen during World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. Two major categories of modifications are examined. They are modifications to improve the primary protection of armored vehicles and modifications to improve the secondary protection of armored vehicles. Some of the specific types of modifications analyzed are hedgerow cutters, sand bagging, addition or modification of ancillary weapons, communications improvements, camouflage, rocket propelled grenade screens, and addition of concrete.

    16.0 OPTIONAL RULES These rules may be introduced to add variety to your games. 16.1 Linked Games This rule links several battles to determine the overall winner. Set-up and play each battle as normal. Stop each battle immediately if a player has sunk 25 or more points of enemy forces. Record the points scored by each player and start a new game. Continue setting-up and playing new games until a player has scored 75 or more points. The first player who sinks 75 or more Victory Points of enemy ships and submarines immediately wins. Players are free to choose new fleets between each battle. 16.2 Team Games WWII on the High Seas These games allow a player to team up with one or two other players. In team games a player is not allowed to launch Attacks against his team-mates, but he by Dan Verssen can play Defense cards to help them. If you are playing with 2 player teams, the first team to score a total of 50 victory points wins. If you are playing with 3 player teams, the first team to score 75 points immediately wins.

DE&EWS consist of multiple breakthrough technologies including: laser weapons that provide for speed-of-light engagements at tactically significant ranges resulting in savings realized by minimizing the use of defensive missiles and projectiles; electromagnetic launch of projectiles that will significantly increase firing ranges imposing greater cost to adversaries of ballistic and air defense missile engagements; enhance the land attack mission; and fielding of high power radio frequency systems for non-kinetic electronic attack and active denial technology, allowing for non-lethal determination of threat intent beyond small arms fire ranges.

  • The Book of Armaments by Shadowdragon8685
    The Book of Armaments By ShadowDragon8685 I’ve come to realize that I have a lot of rules and weapon stats spread out in a lot of places. It’s time to fix that, and consolidate all of my weapon rules in one place. This document will contain “generic” weapons; specific weapons, such as Shotguns, Shuriken Launchers, or the Guns of Titan, will be found in other documents. The design ethos of this document can be stated as “if we can do it today in 2015, it’s absurd to think we cannot do it in 10 AF.” If any of this stuff seems overpowered from a game balance standpoint, that’s because you’re hitting an area where real-life military technology outstrips your expectations of game balance. This point was brought up to me once WRT the effective range range given for a grenade launcher, and I explained that the effective range I gave was that of the M79 grenade launcher deployed during the Vietnam War. In the conflict between verisimilitude and game balance, this court always rules in favor of verisimilitude. If you don’t like it, just remember that the entire point of a military-industrial complex is to make your soldiers’ gear more OP than that of their enemies. And thanks to cracked nanofabrication, you too can enjoy the fruits of their labor. New Weapon-related Rules Anti-Missile Systems Anti-Missile systems are intended to shoot down incoming missiles and other explosive projectiles aimed at vehicles and large synthmorphs. Specifically, an AMS can shoot down any of the following: Seekers and missiles, grenades and mortars (if someone is actually using mortars in 10 AF,), and artillery shells fired in ballistic arcs.
