This approach leaves the basic rules unchanged, but reduces the size of
the battery to a maximum of four guns to better reflect the amount of
fire that a warship could practically deliver against a ground target.
Light Cruiser NGFS also has a reduced Anti-tank and Firepower rating to
reflect the smaller calibre weapons compared to heavy cruisers and
battleships.
Please try them out and post your battle reports on the thread we’ve set up on the forum (see the link at the bottom of this article)..
We are proposing the following arsenal entries for the various types of NGFS:
• LCG Support (75 points): 2-gun battery, Anti-tank 4, Firepower 3+.
• Destroyer (150 points): 4-gun battery, Anti-tank 4, Firepower 3+.
• Light Cruiser (250 points): 4-gun battery, Anti-tank 5, Firepower 2+ (was an 8-gun battery).
• Heavy Cruiser (300 points): 4-gun battery, Anti-tank 6, Firepower 1+ (was a 12-gun battery).
• HMS Roberts (150 points): 2-gun battery, Anti-tank 6, Firepower 1+.
• HMS Warspite (300 points): 4-gun battery, Anti-tank 6, Firepower 1+ (was a 6-gun battery).
• Prinz Eugen (300 points): 4-gun battery, Anti-tank 6, Firepower 1+ (was a 6-gun battery).
Please try out these ideas over the next month and let us know how it worked.
