  1. Battleship design

    Congratulations on your new posting in the Imperial Japanese Navy’s design bureau. The year is 1936. The navy is about to order the finest battleships in the world, but also the most expensive. You are tasked with designing a vessel to be a potential option. The treasury has been most petulant...

  2. Make the K class good

    It's possible that this ought to be in ASB. Your mission, should you choose to accept it is to make the British K class submarines successful enough that the idea is taken up by the RN generally before WW2. Thus, steam powered submarines will be more widely used, at least in the RN. I don’t...

  6. What happens next?

    Note! This not a “Could this happen”, this is a “What happens now?” I was wargaming the Battle of Denmark Strait recently (Tabletop) and had a bit of an interesting result, between a little luck on my part, and some mistakes and unkind rolls on my opponents part… Hood is sunk. Not by a...

  7. More successful Raid on Alexandria

    A very easy change: Rather than sling the charges under Valiant and QE, the frogmen attach them to the inner propeller struts. This should be extremely damaging to the ships, at the least destroying the rudders, shafts and screws, and possibly blowing the shaft seals and flooding engine rooms. I...
