Post subject: Harbour attack scenario
|
 |
|
I'am creating a harbour attack scenario (but thats not the question at the moment). Therefore, i am creating maps with some specific harbours. One is midway (you can see part of the map here). Now i am at work at a new harbour map. I want to know if some can identify the new harbour (at work, but its important for me if you could identify the harbour at this stage):

Oh, i see - my failure. My "Taranto. Lets take a look at wikipedia." is misleading. I didn't know anything about the Battle of Taranto. Taranto is now a idea for a new harbour. Maybe, i ll make a map with taranto.
Your are right jfkziegler: Its Gibraltar. |

Yes. I'll make some maps in DIN A4 (thats 29x20cm large papers) or DIN A3 (29x40cm) and ask ND, if he can host the files (JPEG and PDF).
I don't know, but how large are the papers in USA? Not the same size, right?
If someone request, i ll adapet the maps to a another format (thats only a question of time). |

And Gibraltar as online-map (and the mediteran sea as focus).
There is a printable 75dpi-version of this map avaible. But its not the final version. I need some critics. |

Wow! You can still see the outline of the vulcanic crater. How awsome when seen from the air.

There are two problems: the rules aren't balanced at the moment and i have problems to translate the rules proper in english (spelling). |

Harbour Attack Scenario (draft)
During Word War II were a number of harbour or island attacks. Pearl Harbour, Taranto, Midway and so on. These attacks should cripple enemy fleet actions or secure own spheres of control.
This scenario recreates a simple attack on a harbour by naval forces.
Fleets:
Decides which player is the defending and which player is the attacking player (flip a coin if you can't decide). You can spend 100 points.
In addtition, the defending player receives a harbour. The harbour contents differend land structures – a pier, a drydock, a seaplane base, a small airfield and docked ship (read the appendix for further informations). As a docked ship, the defending player can choose any unit costing 10 or less points. This unit doesn't count against his 100 points for building his fleet.
The attacking player can't use any land based planes except with the loiter SA. That represend the fact, that often the Attacker is far away from his own bases (Midway, Pearl Harbour, Taranto).
Battle Map: Use the battle map configuration shown here.
Setup: The defending player sets up first. The defending player can deploy Ships in any sector adjacend to his side of the map. Only the docked ship is placed at the harbour.
The attacking player sets up second. The attacking player can deploy his Ships in any secotr adjacend to his side of the map.
Start Playing! Follow th Sequence of Play outlined on page 12.
Special Rules:
When the airfield of the defending player is destroyed, no on the airfield based unit except with the loiter SA can be played until the end of game.
When the seaplane base of the defending player is destroyed, no on the seaplane base based unit with the loiter SA can be played until the end of game.
After round 1, the defending player makes a throw for the docked ship. If the player rolls a 5+, the ship isn't docked anymore, loosing the Docking Ship SA and can be used during the following turns.
For the Scenario, the SA Airfield Strike of the IJN Zuikaku is changed.
Airfield Strike – Once per turn, you may choose a friendly Dive Bomber. That Dive Bomber rolls two extra attack die when making Bomb attacks against Airfields.
Winning the Harbour Attack Scenario:
The attacking Player wins if he destroyed every enemy land structure. |

Appendix
Pier
Ships docking at piers. They are vital for transfering goods and crews to the ships.
WaS-Stats - Armor 4/Vital Armor 10/Hull 3; SA Land Structure
Airfield
From Airfields operate smaller planes like fighters, dive bombers and so on. During WW2, planes and there bases were very important.
WaS-Stats - Armor 3/Vital Armor 14/Hull 5; SA Base 3, Land Structure
Seaplane Base
During WW2, many Harbours host seaplane bases. From these Bases, seaplanes start there operations.
WaS-Stats - Armor 4/Vital Armor 10/Hull 2; SA Base 1, Land Structure
Docked Ship
During the supprise attack against Pearl Harbour, many USN ships where docked. It was easy for the IJN to sunk many powerful ships, e.g. Arizona.
WaS-Stats - Same as Ship; SA Docking Ship |

New SA
Docked Ship
While this ship is docked, the ship can't use his er her guns, asw or torpedos values and any SA except Anti-Air related SAs. Armor and Anti-Air value are reduced by 1 until unit is activated.
Land Structures
Land Structures can't move. They couldn't be attacked with Torpedos or ASW weapons. Land Structures ignore the stacking rules for ships. |
