Creation of forward bases

feeds@yuku.com (radsailor) — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 07:09:49 GMT

I am still not clear about creation of forward bases. My understanding is that if a War Event sends subs to an SMZ, that zone becomes a forward base on next turn. Is this correct ? Also, what do the numbers on the sub tender counters mean ?

First After Action Report:Subron mini campaign II

feeds@yuku.com (radsailor) — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 10:20:54 GMT

Finished my first real campaign after the first week in Janurary 1943. Forgot to use radar.
Sunk 156,000 tons. No capital ships. Had 4 subs sunk, one by circling torpedo.
Comsubpac(or is it compacsub) is very tired, but pleased. I messed on a few rules occasionally, but believe my errors evened out.
Now a weeks vacation for the commander and I will be back on patrol again, maybe to tackle the grand campaign.

Rules questions

feeds@yuku.com (Inflandersfields) — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 11:09:11 GMT

Q1......In Sub v Sub combat, if the calculated combat values fall within rule 14.16... then how do I progress the game?
Do I go straight to an 'Endurance Check' OR can I re-attempt 'Search & Contact'?

Q2......Rule 14.6(E) makes no reference to applying the TDC modifier for the 'target sub'...BUT rule 14.6(D) does advise that a TDC marker is drawn and placed for it.
Is the TDC modifier applied in Sub v Sub combat?

2008 - The Compass Year in Review

feeds@yuku.com (The Grinch) — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 13:37:49 GMT

We're not sure about others who read this, but looking back to the beginning of the year is kind of difficult for us - it just seems so long ago. Sometimes it's hard remembering what was for breakfast let alone the events of nearly a year ago. So we've taken a high level view in writing this open letter....

Silent War

feeds@yuku.com (Inflandersfields) — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 08:03:01 GMT

I've just ordered SW from "Spirit Games' in Burton on Trent, England. I just know I will have a few difficulties with rules and game play. I presume that it's okay to come on here and ask the daftest of questions?
Also, is there a list detailing other dedicated solitaire games.
Thanks

Scenarios for Vassal Mod?

feeds@yuku.com (fatgreta1066) — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 12:47:53 GMT

Hi,

I downloaded the Vassal mod for this game and I'm trying to figure out how to play it. I can't find any list of scenarios, or what ships are included in which scenario, etc., so I'm not sure how to set it up to start. Does anyone know where I can find that material?

Thanks,

Chris

TDC question

feeds@yuku.com (mtyree1972) — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 11:56:48 GMT

Perhaps a silly question, but here goes.
I know you have to reveal available targets up to your tactical rating (ie you cant stop when you like what you see and/or are afraid of the swarm of soon-to-be-revealed DDs) but what about applying TDCs? If you reveal combat events and/or aircraft, are you required to fire blind at unflipped targets or can you choose to not place all of your TDC counters?

3 questions on the rules..hopefully most of them new

feeds@yuku.com (MadApple) — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 08:19:27 GMT

I've been trolling through the forums trying to find answers to no avail. Anyone experts in the game want to help me out (I'm on my very first campaign at the moment and I'd hate to find out I'm doing it wrong).

1. RTB question. This has been talked about a lot but I'm still haveing a hard time nailing it down. So here is my example. My boat fails the endurance check after a patrol, does it Transit home (rtb) in the transit phase at the end of this turn? I...

Possibly foolish question but I need to ask

feeds@yuku.com (MadApple) — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 20:38:06 GMT

When moving from a patrol area (say Hawaian islands) does it take a transit move point to enter the base or is it free like moving to a special ops area?

Trying to gauge things

feeds@yuku.com (Edsel62) — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 20:46:02 GMT

I am currently in week three of January 1942 of the full campaign game. (I played four patrols first).

I have sank 17 Ships for 68,000 tons.
I lost one sub to a circular running torpedo.
One sub was a "constructive total loss" due to having two damage tokens when it returned to port.

I seem to be in no danger of meeting the 70,000 ton requirement by the end of February 1942.

Is it usually this easy to meet your tonnage quotas?
At this rate it will...

Combat Calculator v1.1 Questions

feeds@yuku.com (Edsel62) — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 07:58:01 GMT

How do you determine the value that goes into the Density field? I am assuming that this is 1=Sparce, 2=Low, 3=Moderate and 4=High. Is this correct?

How do you determine the value that goes in the Convoy field? I can't figure this one out at all.

Is the Defense field the defense value of the submarine?

first time - silent war

feeds@yuku.com (sbp123456) — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 06:55:25 GMT

hey there i bought this game awhile ago but never played until now!

i have some questions. since it's my first time i thought i'd try a patrol scenario (henry g munson)

1. how do i set up the board for the patrol scenario? If it says
starting date is from july 1942 do i only use subs from 1942 onwards?

2. it says 3 weeks, does that mean 3 turns only?

thanks, Salas

Rules questions

feeds@yuku.com (cyberjockey) — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 19:26:12 GMT

I have 2 questions regarding the rules and the campaign game.

Question 1: In the rule book, at the beginning of Section 4.0, it says for patrol scenarios to skip the Strategic and Triple-R segments except for the prep for operation phase. Is this for the first turn only, or for the whole patrol. I was wondering because if I get damage from combat or RTB from the END check, wouldn't I have to do the Triple-R segment on the turn following my arrival at a base?

Question 2: In...

Forced RTB

feeds@yuku.com (remcher) — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 19:54:55 GMT

So let me get this straight because it had been on my mind from a previous thread, an AAR I've been reading, and the light bulb going off tonite rereading the rules.

If a sub is forced to RTB per rule 15.22, then it moves to the base regardless of speed limits and does not perform a Transit Event Roll.

Is this correct?

Silent War Reprint Status

feeds@yuku.com (stevenalpert) — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 09:35:30 GMT

I recently pre-ordered Silent War and I'd like to know if you are currently shipping, or still in some other stage of production.

Steel Wolves Target Date

I'd like to know what you're current target date is for Steel Wolves and if you think you're currently on schedule.

What do the A, B, C, and D cups and columns mean?

feeds@yuku.com (seh) — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 14:24:41 GMT

The War Mix cups and combat columns are separated into four aligned groups labeled A, B, C, and D. Different kinds of enemy units go into each group, and only units pulled from a given cup can be placed in a given combat column. The player must choose which combat column to place his submarines in, knowing that they can only access their placed column and those adjacent.

But what do these groupings mean? What's the mapping to...
