Hello all! We’ve found a few niggling mistakes in the Lieutenant’s Manual PDF. We’re in the process of correcting those so we can get a corrected version to everyone for free that purchased the PDF. While we’re in this process, if anyone sees something in the PDF they think might be an error, feel free to pass that on to me at randall@catalystgamelabs.com, so we can fold anything else in as well.

Thanks!

I went over the rules, and I have to say, it sounds pretty awesome, if I have the chance to try it, I will. I will definitely get the box when it goes out, as well as japanese and russians, and maybe germans and italians as well, cuz well, when you’re passionate…
A few questions though, how many factions are planned so far?
How many ships can we expect for each faction?
Will we have scenarios in relation with ground battles (like wings of war have ground defenses…)?
Will the game feature planes? I’m a big WWI aviation fan, and I’d love to see some included…

I am impressed by your willingness to go with a CC license and the honor system to get paid. Unlike GW, it appears you respect your customer base. Good luck with the project.

I have been following this for some time now and was able to try this today. We had such a great time. We’re definitely looking forward to some of the advanced items such as altitude and boarding actions.

We found in this first game our ships spent a lot of time close in to each other and once the leviathans began to scar from battle, the captains spent more time attempting to out navigate the other. I was also impressed at how sturdy the beasts were (though perhaps this is a false sense of security due to the rolls.)

For this game we played with actual d8′s and d10′s. I am interested in trying it with the d12′s for each to see how they effect shooting.

Thanks for getting this product out and I look forward to seeing what lies ahead.

No carriers or bombing missions planned for the first year or two of release…but have no fear they ‘are’ planned and I’ve got a pile of notes on how to make them work.

And thanks!

Will there be Carriers in the Core/following releases? Will there be bombing missions? Will the US come?

I’m loving the basic rules, I can’t wait for the box set, my imagination suitable teased by the hints at aerial torpedoes, altitude changes, etc.
Also, loving the Creative Commons, very handy for beginning game designers such as myself.

Thanks for your offer, but I believe the torrent appears to be working fine.

British and French are in the Core box Set. Additional Faction Box Sets will then follow, such as Germans/Italians, Japanese/Russians and so on.
