World War I: Stations Manned & Ready Price: £8.00 WWI Naval Wargames Rules 1910-1920 by A&A Game Engineering 40 pages; recommended scale 1/1200 to 1/3000; complexity: 7/10; level of detail: 7/10; avg game length 2-3 hours; dice required: D20, D10, D6 These rules are set at a squadron level, allowing relatively large battles to be fought on a normal table in 2 to 4 hours.

A standard game system enables you to use a ship from the First World War in a game using the vessels appearing in one of the later World War 2 rule books. Time scales are 6 minutes for a game turn, combat is regulated by the use of 5,000 yard range bands, which provide gun penetration values and torpedo hit modifiers.

The first part covers the First World War, and covers combat in an exclusively gun-based environment. Ships are commanded and crewed by men of mixed ability, using systems which players will recognise from other A&A titles. More ...
