Default Action stations

Hi Nerazzuri
sorry bit late replying daughters/grandaughter birthdays got in way, only external floppy drive now but would use download, is it easy to set up in dosbos and does it play ok, also have you seen dosgames Action in the North Atlantic and battle of Midway similar style of graphics available as abandonware I think they are even older than Action stations, as I have got older I get nostalgic for all sorts of things her indoors calls junk.

The thing about what rules to use, I hadn't really thought about it but the very minimum I think would be to use miniatures on a board for situatonal awareness during battles and perhaps cards for each ship to mark off damage,
do you remember concentric circles when a magazine exploded.
I also like fighting steel which has surface battles only no subs or aircraft like Action stations, there is some downloads for that that are very good
cheers
