Dynamic counters with the ship info right on the counter where you can decrement them as you play. Take damage and show it instantly. Watch the enemy be ground down under your guns as you play. Our improved double blind ploting system. Lots of improvments.

Available for you if you have the latest version (there is only one version at this time... but you get the idea.)

Contact me here in a private message to get the link.

Also just released Coral Sea and Remember the Maine]]>

Twice.

Black Prince, Duke of Edinburgh, Defence, and Warrior. All ACs. Versus five German CLs with 30(!!!) DDs. Setup is point blank range and the KM ships are all faster so there’s no escape.

Played without referred pain so a hit on something that’s not there is just a miss. This makes DDs sooooo hard to hit. The CLs did their worst to the RN, but to not much avail. The RN messed up three of the CLs, two with torpedo mount hits but the real threat was the DDs.

They came in two waves and dispatched two of the ACs in one wave and the other two in the second wave. Last one down was Defence which took 6 torpedoes! 12 hull hits but she only started with five boxes so that was an instant sink.

Lost two S49 boats but that’s off light, along with the CL damage but none of them were badly damaged.
Fun scenario and all the cool changes in the mod. All damage recorded on the counters not a glance at the SDS. Played smooth and fast.

The Jutland mod is going slow. We’re really throwing a lot into this one. You’ll want to give this a try. Oh. And we have a North Sea 1914 and Dogger Bank 1915 extension ready to go as well (same additional ships for the most part with two sets of scenarios).

WAS-FC has the module ready for download for use in Bismarck 2e, and Java Sea.

This one is an extension and needs to sit in one of those two modules (we can add others on request if you want to put the French at Midway for instance...)

If you buy a copy, mail me and I can send out the extension to you.

This is a nifty little scenario. It's the first one I've done in Jutland second edition. As part of the Cuxhaven As part of the Cuxhaven Road in December 1914, the British had a number of plans to deter Germans during various phases of the operation. Tyrwhitt of the Harwich force Took his cruisers and destroyers to sea to block any German ships from leaving Helgoland to attack the British carrier force. The GWAS scenario pits four German light cruisers and 5 destroyers against three British light cruisers and four tribal class destroyers. 
It looks like an even match, but the British, have armored hulls and the Germans do not, so given that all the German guns are tertiary, they're not going to sink the British light cruisers with gunfire but the British CAN sink the German light cruisers with gunfire. All the British can do, is wipe all the guns off British ships as they have a 2:1 edge in guns It's a challenge but possible.
 
I played this out twice and the first time I did not notice that the British had light armor so I allowed the German guns to penetrate and it was a romp for the Germans.
 
But... I replayed with all the nasty rules and the Germans lost no ships, but had been beaten quite soundly while having sunk one British cruiser, the Aurora with torpedoes from the V Class DDs in a knife fight in the same hex with all the fish running and all the guns blazing.
 
So the Germans and the British came at one another full speed. Tyrwhitt charging in for the RN and the Germans intent on getting in contact or past the cruiser force.
 
In the third movement phase the forces came into contact becoming adjacent which removed the very slight advantage of the British for their secondary guns. Were using all the cool features in the module so we annotated and apportioned all our fire for both sides, so that we know who were shooting at.
 
The Germans decided since they had a preponderance of guns to target the Arethusa, with the leader Tyrwhitt, with all the guns, which means that the second, third and fourth ship had to roll for confirmation on hits. Graudenz fired first and hit one primary hit which devolved to a secondary and took out half the Arethusa's guns on the first shot. The remainder of the CLs fired and got 4 hits from the nine factors, but the confirmation rolls 2 failed. Bad luck for the Boche.
 
The Germans got one primary and one tertiary hit, wiping the last gun from Arethusa but not doing any hull damage because the third gunnery hit, which should have devolved into a hull hit could not penetrate. Still this phase saw the disarming of Arethusa, thus one third of the British cruiser power. Arethusa fired in return at Graudenz and knocked out two of the three tertiaries so it was an exchange which slightly favors the Germans. Aurora fired at Stralsund knocking out two guns, Undaunted fired at Rostock and knocked out the hull mount for the torpedoes... Oh no... lost a hull mount torpedo. Ouch... (not really)
 
The Tribals attacked Kolberg and and knocked out one tertiary for their trouble.
 
Both sides held their torpedo fire in Phase 13. Torpedoes are OK at 1 hex, but in the same hex they get a +1 and both sides wanted that for the next torpedo phase.
 
Because phases 14 and 15 are move for any OTHER speed than 2. The forces stayed in place and switched to the gunnery phase 16. The German cruisers all fire at Aurora since there is no possibility of damaging Arethusa more with their tertiary guns. All were misses. Stralsund loses one of three hulls. Kolberg, under fire still from the Tribals, loses one hull.
 
In phase 18-19 they move into the same hex.
 
Phase 20 gunnery, the forces pull out the bicycle chains and tire irons and lay into one another. Gunnery bad again for everyone as the volume of fire decreases, especially from the German cruisers which are taking a pounding above the waterline.
 
Phase 21 though, torpedo combat, starts the endgame. The German CLs fire torpedoes from their hull mounts and hit nothing! The British CLs fire their fish and hit nothing! Again hull torpedoes? Why?
Go figure... But the V boats fire their torps into Aurora and get two hull hits, all of the hull boxes of Aurora and she sinks after firing her torpedoes and gets nothing.
 
We marked all the torpedoes expended on all the counters and this is now a gun battle between 4 Tribal class DDs with 1 tertiary each, two tertiary guns on the British CLs and all of those can penetrate the armor of the German ships hulls so it is time to separate the forces and for the Germans to retreat although at the end only the Tribal DDs were armed.
 
Germans broke off action and let the British off having lost one light cruiser and moderate damage on Arethusa and Undaunted.
 
Great action and it played out like a dream. I think my takeaway was to ALWAYS check the armor of the opponent if you only have tertiary guns. In this case it really forced me to try and clear the decks of the perfidious English fleet of their guns and try for torpedo hits.

The Russians caught the Japanese force (my force) of three cruisers a few miles off the Chinese Coast and moved directly in to dispatch them. The Protected Cruiser Bogatyr, and Armored Cruisers Rurik, Rossia, and Goromboi readied their guns and commenced firing at their maximm range doing no damage in the first gunnery round. Russian guns have to confirm every hit and although one got a 6 the confirmation roll was a miss. The Japanese return fire, while light compared to the Russian guns, has no confirmation rolls so will get hits more regularly.

My opponent and I had played once earlier and switched sides so we knew enough not to close to torpedo range, zero hexes per the specisl rules, the Russians hovered at maximum range for their secondaries and the Japanese manouvered to do the same. The Russian gunnery though was actually acceptable and the heaiver weight of fire started to take its toll leaving one japanese Cruiser, Suma, with a speed loss after losing one hull box. Rossia then took one hull hit which was not enough to slow it down. The Russian Flagship, Rurik then took a fairly severe 2 hull hit with a speed loss, but the other two cruisers were untouched. The Idzumi then took a secondary hit putting here out with no guns. The Japanese return fire was jusst too light and they only scored a hit on Rurik taking one of her four hull boxes. Barely enough to slow her. But the next round was enough when the Russian player, my opponent, got a catastrophic hull hit on the Akitsushima and down she went. One ship with a very reduced speed to 1s, the other with no guns, the Japanese decided to strike their colors and stop the useless effusion of blood.

Not every battle was going to go Japan's way it seems and their war was off to a bad start.

The Russian gunnery though was actually acceptable and the heaiver weight of fire started to take its toll leaving one japanese Cruiser, Suma, with a speed loss after losing one hull box. Rossia then took one hull hit which was not enough to slow it down. The Russian Flagship, Rurik then took a fairly severe 2 hull hit with a speed loss, but the other two cruisers were untouched. The Idzumi then took a secondary hit putting here out with no guns. The Japanese return fire was jusst too light and they only scored a hit on Rurik taking one of her four hull boxes. Barely enough to slow her. But the next round was enough when the Russian player, my opponent, got a catastrophic hull hit on the Akitsushima and down she went. One ship with a very reduced speed to 1s, the other with no guns, the Japanese decided to strike their colors and stop the useless effusion of blood.

Not every battle was going to go Japan's way it seems and their war was off to a bad start.

The Vladivostock Raid - Operational Scenario 2 

It is long but covers a LOT of the operational game and if you haven't tackled an Operational Scenario, this is a good place to start. I cut ahead as much as I could but I still think this is a prime candidate to speed up to 1.25x speed. You can pause it if you need to or set it back to 1.o for the juicy bits.

This is a video AAR through the Pistol Pete Scenario in South Pacific. It is a fun but shorter scenarios with three air strikes on two Japanese convoys picked by random when the waves arrive at the battle. This time it worked out but it won't always. In the real confrontation a WO Kiyomi Katsumi crashed his F1M float plane into the wing of a B17 when it was the only way to get at the Fortress, He parachuted to safety but the B17 spiraled into the sea with no survivors.]]>  It is what it is but it is a good use of time to get an idea of how SWWAS works on VASSAL.

This is a special deal from APL and then expires on Wednesday.

He may not want a coppa Jutland but if you do have one, you might wanna think about upgrading and saving some bucks. Not a lot of bucks, admittedly, for some bucks.

Play opponents anywhere in the world. Maybe people you've never met. Swap log files and play by email or face to face on the VASSAL server.

Don't worry about leaving your game on the dining room table for a week and the cat landing on it in cat-ma-geddon. Save and play for a hundred nights if you like.

Zoom in on pieces so you can read them if you have bad eyes like me

Use some nifty play aids to make record keeping easier than real life

Most of all, you paid for these games, come and get the most out of them that you can.

To get the module, contact me at hazencroftmatt@gmail dot you know what. Put EASTERN FLEET ACCESS in your subject line. 

These modules are only available to owners of the latest editions of the games so let me know you have the latest Eastern Fleet and I will shoot you out the link.]]>

I think this is more VASSAL modules for the APL sea games than any one person or team has ever tried to do. They are all have a mostly standard UI and have some nifty features to make your game play better. In the Autumn, we are going to do dot releases on each module to get them up to the standards of the latest releases. Since we add features and fixes as we develp, we need to roll those changes back into each module.
 
I would like to get to the point where we can get modules out at or near the release dates for the APL products.
 
I say "we" because we are now a small development team with a couple of us working on modules and a couple working on some new technology that we can use to really improve the online experience. But we are looking for at least one more person that wants to learn how these modules are built and who wants to start building them with us.
 
Our mission is to deliver quality vassal modules and for the team to become independent of any one of us in the event that one of us becomes unable to continue for any reason. Ideally this should be ongoing as long as APL is publishing and hopefully we get around to as many of the games as we can.
 
As long as Dr. Bennighof is happy with the results and the distribution, we intend to continue doing modules.
As for you guys, come on and download the modules for which you own the games and I will play each of you and beat  you with one battlecruiser tied behind my back.
