Our next event is scheduled for 15 Jun. Our start time is noon. 1) Need RSVPs by 12 Jun (so I can make sure I have enough prize support).
2) There will be an entry fee of $5 per person (which will be returned to you as store credit)
And now for the fun part: There is no historical context for this scenario. This is a return to the basics with no year restrictions and minimal fleet restrictions.
Fleet Size: 200 points/25 units.
Restrictions:
1) Your fleet can include up to a max of 120 points of battleships (as defined by the card’s ship type). No more than 6 submarines, 4 auxiliaries, and 2 installations in your fleet.
2) Historical class limits as defined in the most recent update (3 Dec 2011) are in effect (e.g., only 2 OI class ships or 1 Aquila class ship are allowed). If using any of the Fleet Expansion Decks, you must comply with the most recent Forumini class limits list (14 Jul 2021).
3) No nationality restrictions except that an axis fleet can only contain axis or neutral units and an allies fleet can only contain allies or neutral units. Axis or Allies allegiance is defined by the card color.
4) You may use units from Team Poseidon's, Team Neptune’s, Team Aegir’s, Team Kraken’s, Team Ryujin’s and Team Sedna’s Fleet Expansion Decks. If using proxy figures, that figure as itself cannot appear in your fleet.
Map: Roll for Map. Roll for Squalls. Roll for Twilight.
Victory Conditions You win by being the first player to score 300 points at the end of the turn. Each objective is worth 100 points. Each destroyed enemy unit is worth its point value. If your enemy has no ships in play at the end of the turn (Installations, Submarines, and Aircraft don’t count as ships), then you score 100 bonus points -- per recent clarification, each player can receive this bonus once per game.
Special Rules:
1) Land airbases have a capacity of 7 aircraft (this limit includes aircraft with loiter ability). Clarification: any aircraft with “sea-basing” do not count against the land air base capacity but are limited to 4 per island sector.
2) Advanced rules from the newest rule book are in effect. The AAM WAS Clarification from 24 Aug 2011 will be in effect as will the Forumini errata (7 May 2022) for sets A to F.
3) Additional Clarifications/Errata:
a) Defective Torpedoes: Whenever this unit would make a Torpedo attack, roll a die. On a 1, the attack automatically misses instead.
b) Fatal Flaw: The ”four 6s” only apply to enemy Battleship Main batteries fired at Range 3 or greater.
c) Scharnhorst: Add "Torpedo Defense 1"
d) Ise: Add "Torpedo Defense 1"
