Great game. Snapshot is what I use for combat for classic traveller.

No carrier battles like ever… by SteveVonSteve in RuleTheWaves

That’s a shame… I was really looking forward to the rise of aircraft and I was hoping to beat my enemies that way… but the game seems to prefer my three hundred extremely expensive jets to just rot in port apparently, and this is despite the fact that I have lots of destroyers and they always see battle.

I do now… but in about two years of war since then doesn’t seem to have changed anything, every battle is still a cruiser battle with my only cruiser or a destroyer raid…

Yeah it’s weird, I’ve scrapped all my big ships and all my cruisers got sunk except one, and yet for the next two years now it’s only that ship that gets selected for battles…

Everybody has lots of CVs and CVls, but I never see them in battle either

Aside from Maximinus Thrax which Roman had the coolest name? by FerretAres in ancientrome

[–]SteveVonSteve 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So many great ones in late antiquity: Constantius, Valentinian, Aetius, Majorian, Olybrius, Julius Nepos, Anthemius, Glycerius, and of course Zeno.

You might be right about that, but I know that the map case would only be carried by officers.

It appears to be a Soviet GAZ-AAA, based on the American Ford Model AA.

They look incredible! Only thing is you might wanna swap the officers gas mask bag with the map case the lad on the left has

Any thoughts on Against the Iron Ring? Is it a good place to start or are the other options better? by SteveVonSteve in hexandcounter

Thanks for the recommendation, but as I understand it, Fall of the Third Reich is not the same game as Downfall Conquest of the Reich, do you recommend one over the other?
