Yep you are right. I was thinking of the Fleet that was tied up in the docks and the attacks that came I think a year or so later. And did they not raise the Battle ships that where sunk? Not sure , I will have to go back and read up on this as it has been a little time sense I have read about this. HmmCommodore Rob said:

I'd like to see the the next installment be WWI in the Med and Black Sea.
And FYI for those who were posting above about the naval battles between Austrians and Italians in 1866, Against the Odds magazine has the following entry in its "In the Pipeline" section:
THERE MUST BE A VICTORY
Paul Rohrbaugh takes gamers to the Adriatic to cover the naval campaign fought between the Austrian and Italian fleets during the 1866 Risorgimento. Both nations put to sea with large numbers of ironclad warships, and how these were fought influenced the war's outcome and naval design for the next half-century. Large 5/8" counters (representing individual ships), an area map for the campaign game with six geomorphic hex maps to fight-out the ship vs. ship battles.
No date yet for when this will come out. The next game to be published in the magazinbe is on Leyte Gulf. Check out http://www.atomagazine.com for more details.

Thanks for the hint Zouave, interesting!
A little correction to my report on Lissa battle, the Italian wooden ships were led by Admiral Albini, as Admiral Vacca led the first ironclad division in the Italian battle line.

Jethro,
If you're contemplating Stringbags, here's something for them to target.

I wouldn't mind seeing some hypothetical naval encounters. An English/French fight in the Med in the pre-dreadnought era, or something along those lines. WWI battles would be interesting too, but I'm starting to really like some of these pre-dreadnought designs.

Hello,
I am new to this forum, and I just discovered this game some days ago while "navigating" in the 'net.
I downloaded the demo and it's wonderful. I have waited for a long time for a complete naval simulation to hit the market and the historical period is very fascinating and interesting.
I really think I am going to buy the game in the next week.
Well, regarding the topic of this thread, I would really "love" to see a WW1 Adriatic campaign, as this has been a "forgotten front" and there are many possibilities to create "what if" scenarios.
In a second place , a WW2 Mediterranean game would still be interesting: at the initial stages of the war, few British units had the radar and there were still battles fought using "old school" optical gadgets as in the "Battle of Punta Stilo" or "Battle of Capo Spada".
There is a good site about the Regia Marina at http://www.regiamarina.net

p.s. "Hinchinbrooke", the Conte di Cavour looks brilliant!

Yes, that's the rebuilt Italian battleship Conte di Cavour in Strike Fighters Project 1 (which is easily moddable............ although naval action leaves a lot to be desired).

France Vs Italy in 1914
Strategically it would be pretty wild too....
The French super-pre-dreadnoughts and others are pretty nutty designs. It would be interesting to pit them against the Italians and Austrians -- which would have happened if the Italians had not switched sides at the beginning of WWI.Spharv2 said:I wouldn't mind seeing some hypothetical naval encounters.

TV-guided Bombs
The Roma was sunk by a TV-Guided German bomb when it was on its way to surrender to the Allies in 1943. Does that count?jethro said:

PS. Wow, it's my post no 100 as well
Hi Daniel, ...yes and no...
Yes, BB Roma (third of the "Littorio" class) was sunk while sailing to reach Allied ports by German radio-guided bombs (not tv-guided) FX-1400 "FritzX", dropped by Do-217 tactical bombers.
So it is a tactical aeronaval action in open sea...
