Torpedoes questions
« on: August 12, 2013, 04:18:34 PM »
Hi there,

I've dudes with the torpedo markers rule.

With the new rules, the torpedoes salvo are represented with a two torpedo marker and a dice for the salvo strenght.

What happens when a salvo hits a squadron? All torps. hit the same ship?

Two examples (I'll try to explain it clear ;D):

-A 12 strenght salvo hits a cruiser: 3 markers with '6' dices. The marker in the middle is full covered by the base, no problem with that. But the markers in the left and the right side of the salvo only touch the base with half marker so...how many torps attack receives the cruiser from this markers?

The second question is about torps. salvo vs. squadrons:

-An escorts squadron is hit by a 6 strenght torp. salvo...the marker is phisically touching only one ship...do this ship receives all the attacks or it shares them with the other ships of the squadron? Which ship receives the first hit?Does it works like any other damage to squadrons?

Imagine that turrets destroy 2 torps; we have 4 torpedo attacks. Dice rolls are 4, ,5 ,6, 1, so 3 hits. One hit escort destroyed, second hit another escort destroyed and third hit the last escort destroyed. Is this OK?

And finally, is this rule OK for multiple hits ships squadrons, like cruisers?  :P

 ;)

1. In the old rules a str18 wide marker would attack a ship with all 18 even though if only the outmost right one clipped the base. So essentially torpedoes 6cm away from the target and out of target participated in the attack.
In your case: if you launched that as one wave all of them attack.

2. Only the escort being hit is being attacked, the others not. Only torps that missed and fly on could possibly attack a second escort.

Thanks for the answers. We did well.  ::)

Do they have to touch phisically the other escorts?

Yes; they have to continue on their path and will attack if they come into contact with a base.
Quite crucial to be able to tell minefields and rally points apart...
