Yes he did. Still available IIRC.

It would be nice to know the difference between the two rulesets (from David Manley, I say).

Did he write the naval rules for Flintloque?

He's on The Naval Wargames Society Facebook page if you want to ask him!

Just pledged on the pre-order for these. Not one normally for naval games (so I have no idea of scale) but I like the idea of small craft, landing parties etc so hopefully these will live up to the standard of the Douglas Reeman stories I used to read.

Me too.

Will Cruel Seas fit in with Heroics & Ros Coastal Forces?

Arn't the H&R stuff 1:600 (3mm) while cruel sea's is 1:300 (6mm)... So my assumption is no, they are half the size.

Now whether you can use those figs for the game instead is a very different matter.

Just preordered too. The boxed set is a reasonable price and looks like enough for a few games. Luckily the club has plenty of tables and a massive blue cloth.

I have to say the piccies I have seen look rather spiffing

Only question is are the rules playable and fun?

Time will tell I guess

Ah, OK thanks mellis1644. I wasn't sure of the H&R scale, cheers.

Edit:

Just found this, now I'm confused (not unusual for me).

H&R minis are 1/300 (6mm), they don't make any 3mm stuff.

H&R have a small 1/300.range as above BUT they also now have the extensive 1/600 Skytrex range.

Interestingly Warlord are selling a 4' x 4' mat, couldn't see larger ones. Seems a bit small for this sort of thing, although I'd be keen on a smaller size table.

robh · « **Reply #43 on:** October 27, 2018, 04:33:47 PM »

The paper mat they supply with the starter set is 4'x3' so the 4'x4' IS the larger one!

I still cannot see how this game is supposed to work with such big ship models in such a small space.

I e-mailed Heroics & Ros and here is the answer:

The Coast force range is 1/600th, there are few 1/300th ships in the WW2 ranges.
