Need to make adjsutments on how many destroyers are left.....
And we need to skew the %'s of possible shots, so getting to shoot 3 isn't a totally penalty.
1-3 shoot 1, 4-5 shoot 2, 6 shoot 3. You don't have to take all your shots though, and if you take 3, you get a reload penalty, but if you don't take them all, no penalty. That way you can decide if making that desperate last stand is worth it or not.
For DC'ing, you roll the die, and if you come within the number of destroyers left, that means they forced you down, and you miss a turn. IE 3 dd's still up, 1-3 DC run, 4-6 all clear. 1 DD still up, 1 DC run, 2-6 All clear. The opponent then gets to take that many shots at the quarters, 4 hits and your sunk, if they go off the table. WASSERBOMBEN!
Sunk ships take 2 turns to be removed from the board.
P/C's ships take 8
Then there's the hungry hungry hippos mode, where you just shoot as fast as possible and try to sink them all!
ACK!!!!! Good luck getting one that would be worth it for the meet..... amazon has them STARTING at $175!!!
AHAHAHAHA... ebay has them for better.... and it seems like everybody (I am in this boat too it would seem) is selling off all their extra pieces they have laying around. You could actually build a whole game from these pieces...
