Mine coming tomorrow Still to receive text from Entoyment about Nemesis US Fleet order They prolly got it, Mind you i ordred a german fleet box after buying the the starter box, and i havnt recevied the fleet box, they may be coming a bit later. they may not have posted them at the same time, I read on FB that they sent some starter boxes out without "wake" tokens in , because they had to send the boxes out, and put stickers on the boxes that wake tokens were to come.

I know -- downloaded some wake marker from hereYesterdays' news letter told us that the Russian and Italian fleets are coming next month -- surly that could have waited a month or two and then only release one at a time. Just cos they're in da shops don't mean I can buy them any quicker. Quietly looking forward to seeing all those MTB's painted in the wrong flotilla colours as that flotilla never had that class of boat - even WL house painters are doing that. But a good thing - a box of two dog boats (Fairmile D class) at £30 is also coming out - saves having to buy another fleet box, hope they're doing the same for R-boats which were more plentiful than S-boats. PS would be nice to had B or C class Fairmiles instead but that would require making something new.

Holy shit , your right into it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i just wanna build them , and paint them all sorts of colours to break up the "grey" (well actually i could spray them halfords grey primer and call them done mwahahaha) And, ive bought german and US fleets, and i dont think they are likely combatants at sea, so already deviated from "history" for me

You wrote You are forgetting about the D-Day rehearsals when the yanks used blank ammunition and along came 3 S-boats from Cherbourg -- could only go one way. Exercise TigerThen there is the med and all up the boot of Italy, let alone Coastal Command had PT and Elco boats in some of it's flotillas under lend-lease. PS looks like I might have to pick up your Yanks on the way over Monday - hanging the decks with holly it whatever the song is done PS one of those S-boats which attacked the yanks off Torcross is in Cornwall Then there's this and more of the same storySo you DO have historical opponents after all

It's here! After some technical difficulties, our Cruel Seas Play Through is now live! Made in collaboration with Nottingham College, we hope you enjoy!
but it is a long watch at over an hour -- could have been done in 15 minutes
Pity that when it cuts to a table in the rulebook it goes to the wrong one, that's what you get from students

Yep it does seem pretty straight forward and the scenarios are arranged so that the first couple only need the few pages of basic rules.
Went across and collected your US box this afternoon from Entoyment-- it's one of those without wake markers -- so I can collect them next week.
Why does the staff there always seem to me to be sooo poor at serving customers -- it like Crossroads they pop up to the office to never be seem again
Maybe they're bennies
No wonder I order stuff on-line

Watch out for those play though videos which say you can turn during movement - that's not per the rule book.
It is only optional that you can torpedo shallow draft vessels, it is "No" unless agreed to play it that way and if you do then the modifiers make it a 'lucky' strike. Me, I would rather play it that way as with the swell of water an eel could find itself popping up and saying hello.
