Having just completed new versions of MEMOIR OF MODERN BATTLE (MOMBAT) and MEMOIR OF BATTLE (MOB) it seemed logical - in the light of developmental work that David Crook is undertaking on the naval 'sibling' of these wargames rules - to think about revising my MEMOIR OF BATTLE AT SEA (MOMBAS) wargames rules.
As these rules will also use Combat Dice, I needed to design some icons for the dice faces.
The Battleship, (to indicate a 'hit' on that type of ship) ...
... the Cruiser, (to indicate a 'hit' on that type of ship) ...
... the Torpedo Boat/Destroyer, (to indicate a 'hit' on that type of ship) ...
... the Explosion (for 'hits' on any type of ship), ...
... and the Shell Splash (to indicate a 'miss').
I hope to continue work on these rules over the next few days, but having designed these icons I feel that I am already well on the way with this project.

ReplyDeleteGreat idea! My only suggestion would be to change from an Armoured Crusier profile to a Protected Crusier without turrets to avoid confusion with the Battelship.

Peter Douglas,
ReplyDeleteThanks for suggestion, but I did try that with the original design for the Cruise Icon ... but then it looked too much like the Torpedo Boat/Destroyer ... which I why I gave the Cruiser three funnels.
On relection, perhaps I should have given the Torpedo Boat/Destroyer four funnels to make that less like the Cruiser?
Food for thought.
All the best,
Bob
