INTRODUCTION

These rules are designed for naval wargames in the era from the introduction of the turretted battleship until air

power took over from surface action as the dominate factor in naval war - this includes the Russo-Japanese War

of 1905, WWI and the early part of WWII. We haven't included aircraft because the inclusion of aircraft would

require a total re-think of the rules - in effect a different set of rules - more of a campaign game than a tactical

game.

These rules are primarily designed for games where each player commands a squadron of about 4 capital ships

or a few flotillas of destroyers or light cruisers.. Such games can be played comfortably in an evening.

Smaller actions with a ship per player (like the Hood v. Bismark) are good fun to finish off an evening if the

main event finished early, and are ideal training for beginners.

Very large actions such as Jutland can also be fought if you go about it the right way:

− Have as many players as possible to spread the work load.

− Play the game over 2 or three nights, knocking off each night before combat fatigue sets in or the booze runs

out - big battles are Test Matches, not One Dayers.

− Minimise the number of ships models by using the optional rules allowing destroyer and cruiser flotillas to

be represented by single models.

− Use realistic tactics for the light ships. Historically they were primarily used defensively - to cover breaking

off the action rather than as an attacking weapon. Their use to soften up the enemy like ancient light troops

can bog the game down when it should be the capital ships at the centre of the action.

− Another option is to dispense with light ships altogether - this detracts from the historical validity of the

game, but does simplify the game considerably.

EQUIPMENT

Table: The table needs to have a hex grid. Cheap hex lino can often be found in discount stores.

Model ships: The scale needs to match the hex grid.

Ship's Logs: Pre-printed sheets (1 for each squadron or flotilla) to record movement orders & damage. These

have to photo-copied as required and prepared by filling in the ship data (from the Data Tables)

and crossing out unnecessary boxes.

GAME TURN SEQUENCE

1. Write orders for each ship.

2. Announce which ships are firing torpedoes.

Potential targets are allowed to change orders to attempt to evade torpedoes.

Place torpedo track markers.

3. Move ships simultaneously in accordance with orders. Where ships are close move each one 1 step at a

time to help resolve conundrums. (This means that faster ships will continue after the slower ones have

finished). Generally move ships at the front of the fleet first.

4. Adjudicate firing of secondaries.& pre-dreadnoughts.

5. Adjudicate fire of main guns (in large battles record target on log as reminder).

6. Adjudicate torpedo damage.

7. Check progress of special damage from previous g/turns.

MOVEMENT

The rated speed of a dreadnought was about 21 knots, but ships seldom moved at their rated maximum speed.

Normal cruising speed was governed by a number of factors – to allow a margin for keeping station in the

formation, sea conditions, gunge on the hull, battle damage, wear & tear on machinery and fuel economy

Page 4: Dreadnoughts 2010 All

05/02/10 Page 4

(doubling speed takes at least 4 times the fuel). Further, at high speed gunnery effectiveness is greatly reduced

because of ship vibration, pitching & rolling and the rapid changes to the bearing and range of the target.

The hex grid limits our flexibilty in move rates. To compensate we effectively assume a different time scale in

the pre-dreadnought era so the basic fleet speed is 2 hexes both before after the dreadnought. Faster ships can

move further, but may be subject to a dice test to do so. Fast ships may have their speed listed in the form S(d+),

(eg: 2(4+)). This means the ship can always move 2 hexes, but can move an extra hex on throwing a 4+.

If moving the extra hex would mean catching up and entering a hex with a ship that failed to take the extra move,

the extra move need not be taken.

Pre-dreadnoughts:

Maximum speed: Battleships: 2 hexes per g/turn.

Light ships: 3 "

WWI:

Cruising speed: Capital ships: 2 hexes per g/turn.

Light ships: 3 "

Full speed: Pre-dreadnoughts: 2 "

Dreadnoughts (21 knots): 2(5+) "

Early battlecuisers (26 knots): 2(4+) "

Later battlecruisers (28 knots): 2(5+) "

Super-dreadnoughts (26 knots): 2(4+) "

Light cruisers: 3 "

Destroyer: 4 "

WW

As for WWI except: New capital ships (30 knots): 3 hexes per g/turn.

Battle damage:

A ship's maximum speed may be reduced due to battle damage.

If damage reduces speed by "2d" this means for example, 2(4+) becomes 2(6+) or 2 becomes

1(3+).

Acceleration & deceleration:

A ship can only accelerate or decelerate 1 hex per g/turn.

Turns:

Ships always turn as they move forward into the next hex.

Turns are limited as follows:

Capital ships (BB, BC, CA): 1 hex side per step, no more than 2 turns per g/turn.

Light Cruisers (CL): Up to 2 hex sides per step, no more than 3 turns per game turn.

Destroyers (DD): Up to 3 hex sides per step, no more than 3 turns per game turn.

SHIPS IN SAME HEX

The ship models are way out of scale so any number of ships can enter the same hex though it gets a bit messy if

there's more than 3. But if the players play realistically it shouldn't happen often as closing in was not the norm.

To determine orientation of the ships within the hex:

Directly opposite courses: If players don't agree, dice to determine who chooses which side to pass.

Same course: Overtaking ship determines which side.

Intersecting on angle: If converging through adjacent hex sides at an angle of 60° place the two ships nose

to nose still in the orientation they entered the hex.

If converging towards each other at an angle of 120, place the two ships nose to

stern still in the orientation they entered the hex.

Page 5: Dreadnoughts 2010 All

05/02/10 Page 5

ORDERS

Movement:

In the order writing phase, each ship is issued movement orders for the g/turn. These should be

written in abbreviated form as follows:

F Forward 1 hex.

P or L Forward 1 hex while turning 1 hex side to Port (Left).

S or R Forward 1 hex while turning 1 hex side to Starboard (Right).

P2 Forward 1 hex while turning 2 hex sides to Port (allowed for CL & DD only).

S2 Forward 1 hex while turning 2 hex sides to Starboard (CL & DD only).

AT Forward 1 hex and about turn (allowed for DD only).

If a ship has the option of dicing for an extra hex, write the extra order in brackets. If the test fails,

the last order does not happen. Squadrons normally have one test for all.

Ammo:

Ammo is not kept track of for guns. Single engagements seldom if ever lasted long enough to run

out. Torpedoes are limited to one per tube.

Squadrons:

Where a fleet is deployed in squadrons, orders may be written for the lead ship of each squadron

only and the others will maintain station, either following in line ahead (abbreviate order as (Fol)),

or moving in parallel - all turning together (abbreviate order as (Par)).

By default, a squadron with ships in adjacent hexes takes one test for a fractional move & the

result applies to all. The player may elect to test each ship of a squadron separately, but must

announce this before the first test.

SHIP PARAMETERS

Each ship has to be assessed for a number of parameters to define its fighting capabilities.

Speed:

Ships speed are limited to 2, 3 or 4 hexes depending on the type of ship as provided in the

movement rules. The published maximum speeds for ships are probably not as accurate as they

look – they typically represent new ship speed which will not be maintained as the ship ages, they

may be manipulated for propaganda or intelligence purposes, or they may be inflated by the

builder for promotional purposes. Thus the accurate scaling of rated speeds may not be as

realistic as it appears and the system we use may be as good as any plus simple and easy to use to

boot

Main armament – dreadnoughts:

In dreadnoughts, later battleships, battlecruisers and armoured cruisers ships had their main

armament in 2 or more turrets of 2 to 4 guns. Salvo fire was used with a central gunnery control

system. All turrets ranged in and fired together.

The firing system requires first a test to range in. If the guns range in, then each shell is checked to

see if it hits the target. Each hit is checked for armour penetration. Each penetration will cause

damage.

In WWII, Light Cruisers also had co-ordinated fire control systems for their 6" guns. In small

cruiser actions the players may take the option of firing the 6" guns in salvoes as main armament,

and the 4" guns as secondaries. In large actions it will be better to use the simpler system.

Page 6: Dreadnoughts 2010 All

05/02/10 Page 6

Main armament – pre-dreadnoughts:

In this era ships had a main armament of 2 to 6 large guns arranged in turrets of 1 or 2. The turrets

fired individually. The targeting of each gun is tested separately. Hits are checked for penetration

as for salvo fire.

Secondaries:

Many ships had two or more calibres of secondary guns. To simply the fire of secondaries, the

actual secondary layout should be simplified to a number of equivalent 6" guns. The weight of

shell is approximately related to the cube of it’s calibre The rate of fire is approximately related to

the inverse of the caliber. Thus the effectiveness of a gun is related to the square of its calibre, so

substitute 2x4"or 1.5x5" for one 6". Guns smaller than 4" can be neglected. The loss of detail in

adopting this system is not significant except maybe in very small Cruiser actions.

Targeting control:

Ships can be nominated as having better than normal targeting control. It seems generally

accepted that in WWI the Germans had better fire control than the British.

Armour rating:

Ships have to be allocated defense ratings a0 to a7 for their armour - turrets, deck and sides being

rated separately. This requires a bit of judgement, as all ships had varying amounts of armour in

different places, but the relativity of the ships involved in the scenario is more important than the

actual allocation.

Rating: A B C D E F G H

Approx thickness: >14" 12-13" 10-11" 8-9" 6-7" 4-5" 2-3" 0-1"

Max hull hits:

The maximum no. of hull damage points a ship can sustain without sinking has to be assessed.

The starting point in assessing this is 1/1000th

of the ship's tonnage. This base figure can be

adjusted up or down depending on a judgement of the ship's ability to take punishment. Generally

German ships should be given higher ratings. The relativity of the ships is more important than

the actual figures.

Typical examples:

Dreadnought 20-30

Later Battleship 30-55

Battlecruiser 15-40

Heavy Cruiser 10-20

Light Cruiser 5-10

Destroyer 1-3

Freighter 1-10

Susceptibility to Explosion:

Ships with inadequate flash control must test for explosion if a turret is knocked out. This applies

to Germans until after Dogger Bank, British until after Jutland.

Armament:

Ships are typically armed as follows:

Battleships Mains 11-18" Secs 4-6"

Battlecruisers Mains 11-15" Secs 4-6"

Heavy Cruisers Mains 8" Secs 4-6"

Light Cruisers Secs only 4-6"

Destroyers Secs only 4-6"

Size:

Ships are categorized into 4 groups for size as targets:

BB, BC Battleships & Battlecruisers: 15,000-40,000 tonnes.

PD Pre-dreadnoughts: 10,000-20,000 tonnes.

Page 7: Dreadnoughts 2010 All

05/02/10 Page 7

CA, CL Cruisers (Light & Heavy): 4,000-15,000 tonnes.

DD Destroyers: Less than 2,000 tonnes.

Morale:

There are no specific morale rules, but to be realistic, ships should try to avoid being sunk. Ships

should usually turn away if under heavy fire that's likely to be fatal next turn. DDs shouldn't make

suicidal charges at the enemy line unless it is required to save the main fleet.

FIRING GUNS

Shell fire is adjudicated ship by ship after movement. The side with the best gunnery system (usually the

Germans) select & fire the first ship, then each side alternates selecting a ship to fire. For secondary guns

priority must be fire against DDs, then CLs. Secondary fire on BBs is generally ineffective and seldom worth

the trouble.

Ships with main and secondary armament may fire both in the same turn.

There are three different firing systems – for salvo fire with central gunnery control (for dreadnoughts and later),

individual fire by big guns (for pre-dreadnoughts), and for secondaries.

For ships with central gunnery control, the main guns are fired in salvoes. If the salvo straddles, then each shell

is checked to see if it hit the target. The chance of straddling increases after a ranging shot. Once ranged in, the

chance of staying on target is higher still.

For ships without central gunnery control, the main guns use a simpler system to check for hits for each gun.

The secondary guns are fired en masse without considerations of ranging in - this not only simplifies the game

but also better represents independent fire by individual gun crews.

When firing at DDs and CLs at close range the chance of a hit firing as secondaries is higher than for salvo fire,

but the salvo fire by big guns is not designed to hit small fast targets. For small WWII cruiser actions the players

may prefer to use salvo fire for 6"guns to add interest. In larger actions, the simpler secondaries firing method is

preferable.

Main Gun Firing Procedure (with central gunnery control):

1. To fire a ship's main guns, refer to the Salvo Fire Factors Table and sum the relevant factors. The result

is the total required as the sum of two dice to straddle. If the target score is 14 or more range shots are not

allowed. (At 12 or 13 ranging in is allowed as success is possible on the second round).

2. If a straddle is achieved, check the number of guns able to bear in the that direction and refer to the Hits

From Straddle Table for the 6d score required to hit with each shell - throw a dice for each shell in the

salvo. Hits may be on the side or deck.

3. For each hit throw a dice to determine if the shell penetrates the armour - either side or deck.

4. If one or more shells penetrate, refer to Hull Hit Damage Table for the amount of damage. Cross of a hit

box for each damage point. Hull hits accumulate until they equal the ship's maximum, whereupon the

ship sinks.

5. When a hull hit box with a "c" beside it is crossed off, the player controlling that ship must test for

Critical Damage using Table 7. Critical Hits. The critical hit might be on a main turret, secondary guns,

or be Special damage.

It is recommended that hits be marked with a diagonal line through the box - alternating the direction of the line

each salvo - this prevents confusion as to how many critical hits were received in that slavo.

For Main Turret hits test for which turret - turrets are numbered consecutively from the front (wing turrets port

then starboard). A dice determines which number turret is hit. If there are less than 6 turrets a high dice will

Page 8: Dreadnoughts 2010 All

05/02/10 Page 8

mean no turret hits. If there is a hit on a working turret check for penetration of the turret armour - if penetrated,

turret is destroyed.

For hits on Secondary guns - cross off a Secondary box for each one.

For Special damage - test for type - Command/Communications, Targetting Control Systems, Steering, Engines,

or set the ship on fire. If this occurs further tests are taken each turn.

For CL & DD critical hits are treated slightly differently. The critical hit table is on the relevant ships logs.

Critical hits may knock out a group of torpedo tubes, secondary guns, or destroy the ship.

Pre-dreadnought Firing Procedure :

Pre-dreadnoughts did not have centralized fire control systems so each turret was fired individually and the salvi

fire system is inappropriate and unnecessarily complicated.. Use the Pre-dreadnought Fire Table. The table

gives the %d scores required to hit for each gun able to bear. Modifying factors for target difficulty are applied –

these are tabulated on the Salvo Fire Factor Table. Hits are tested for penetration and damage the as hits from

salvo fire.

Secondary Gun Firing Procedure:

Use the Secondaries Fire Table. The table gives the 6d scores required to hit for each secondary gun factor able

to bear. Modifying factors for target difficulty applied to main guns are not used in the interests of ease of play.

(In many cases factors would cancel each other out, eg CLs are easier to hit than DDs, but harder to damage).

Each hit by a secondary counts as 1 damage point.

Firing parameters for guns:

The effect of each of the parameters considered significant in obtaining a straddle is assessed by summing the

relevant factors from the Fire Factors Table - positive factors reduce the chance of a straddle, negative factors

increase the chance.

Range: Maximum range varies with calibre.

Fire control quality: Some ships had better fire control than others. Eg: It is usually considered that the

Germans were better than the British in WWI.

Calibre: Small guns (<10") are less accurate, particularly at long ranges.

Damage to fire control: Damage due to hits can degrade fire control.

No. of ranging shots: The probability of a straddle increases after a ranging shot. Once a straddle is

obtained, the chance of staying on target is increased. If the range is lost, the ship

resumes as a second ranging shot. Secondary fire doesn't use ranging shots.

Own course changes: If the firing ship is changing course the chance of hitting the target is reduced

significantly (by twice as much as turns by the target).

Target speed: Very slow targets are easier to hit.

Firer's speed: Ships moving more than 2 hexes, or trying to (even if they don't succeed) have the

chance of ranging in reduced.

Target course changes: Evasive action reduces the chance of being hit.

Funnel smoke: 1 for each ship on line of sight (includes target if it is moving directly away from

firer).

Page 9: Dreadnoughts 2010 All

05/02/10 Page 9

Rough seas: The scenario should nominate any deductions due to rough sea. Unless the scenario

dictates otherwise, the effect is +1 factor if the firing ship speed exceeds 2 hexes.

Poor visibility: The scenario should nominate any deduction for poor visibility.

Target under fire by others: If target is under fire from other ships (including own secondaries) it is more

difficult to plot own shot, so apply +1 factor for each other ship that has already

fired secondaries, or tried to range in on it this turn.

Hits from straddles:

As a straddle by definition straddles the target, only some

of the shells will hit. The chance of a hit from each shell

is tabulated in the Hits from Straddle Table. The

probability depends on the range and the size of the target.

Arc of fire:

For main guns the no. of guns that can fire in any

particular direction depends on the ship's layout - players

should agree on each ship's limits before the game.

For secondaries the ships log gives a standard breakdown

of guns allowed to fire in each direction. In fact ship's

secondary layouts did vary, but the difference is trivial in

the scheme of things and the simplified system makes the

game flow easier.

Reloading:

Guns can fire once each turn.

Damage record:

The ship’s log has check boxes to be crossed off as hull, turret, torpedo tube and secondary gun hits are received.

Critical damage and its progress can be recorded in the orders line for the turn.

TORPEDOES

The direction of fire allowed is governed by the actual ship configuration. Some ships fired forwards, others

fired sideways. The number of torpedoes that can be fired is limited by the number actually carried. Note that

means keeping track of which torpedoes were fired (port, starboard, mid, fore or aft tubes). "Mid" tubes can fire

to either port or starboard. Cross off torpedo boxes on the ship's log as the torpedoes are fired.

Maximum range is 4 hexes, except for Japanese 24" - their range is 8.

Torpedo fire is adjudicated as follows:

During the orders phase, players wishing to fire torpedoes must write on their order sheet the number to be fired

and from which tubes (port or starboard). They must also announce that they are firing torpedoes to give the

other side the option of taking evasive action.

After everyone has completed order writing, before any ships are moved, players firing torpedoes place

numbered markers on the destination hexes (the number indicating the number fired at that hex) and a mark in

the hex of origin of the torpedo (this is required to define the range and direction of approach to the target). Each

group of torpedo tubes must have the same destination. If both sides are firing torpedoes, they may take turns to

place markers, British/Allied player first.

Page 10: Dreadnoughts 2010 All

05/02/10 Page 10

Japanese 24" torpedoes fired at over 4 hex range take 2 g/turns to reach their targets. For these, the destination

hexes have to be recorded - this requires a coordinate system to be marked on the hex grid. (The same system

can be used for short range torpedoes if prefered).

All ships in the target hex at the end of the turn are liable to be hit and the firer throws a dice for each such ship.

If there is more than one ship liable, test them consecutively in order of distance (dice for order if no difference)

until a hit is made, or all have been missed.

Torpedo hits are more likely if the torpedo is approaching from abeam than from fore or aft. Capital ships

carried torpedoes but could not aim them effectively, thus they have little chance of hitting moving targets.

Damage assessment requires a 6die for each hit. This may cause hull damage, critical hits, or as a worst case,

break the ship's back and sink it.

SMOKE

Smokescreens:

Ships can lay smoke. This is represented by a cotton wool ball left behind in each vacated hex, plus one just

behind the ship in same hex. The length of the trail is limited depending on the weather. Unless the scenario

provides otherwise the length is 1 turn (take up the rear end and replace behind ship as it moves).

Smoke blocks line of sight and prevents fire. To work out lines of sight past smoke consider the smoke to

extend along the line of movement of the ship from centre to centre of hexes and off to the windward edge of

each hex. The wind direction should be diced for before battle, if forgotten - do it the first time some one wants

to lay smoke.

In rough weather, the scenario could include variations to the above. Eg: the smokescreen screen can angle

downwind, be shorter, and/or be less effective.

Funnel smoke & gun smoke:

Ships, particularly coal burners, made a lot of smoke from their funnels & they added gun smoke when they

fired. There is a fire factor applied if the line of fire passes over the hex a ship is in. In theory, the effect should

be worse for firing ships & apply to a space behind the ship, but in the interests of playability we just have a

factor for ranging in while firing over a capital ship or flotilla of light ships. This factor is accumulative added

again for each ship affecting the line of fire.

WEATHER

The weather and it's effects are determined as part of the scenario development. Otherwise, assume moderate

sea, good visibility and light winds.

The wind direction may be significant if ships start laying smoke. Test for direction at the start.

In rough weather, the scenario should dictate variations to the standard rules.

Eg: -1 fire factor for rough seas (-2 for small ships)

Speed reduced in rough seas - particularly for smaller ships. Amount depends on scenario.

In high winds smokescreens less effective - apply +n factor instead of cutting view.

TABLE EDGE

Unless the scenario has a coastline, the table edge is not the end of the world. If ships move to the table edge,

the whole battle is moved across so it can continue. If the battle has separated into separate parts in danger of

going off different edges, they are still moved back. The fact that the separated parts of the battle are moved

closer together by doing this is considered of less importance.

Page 11: Dreadnoughts 2010 All

05/02/10 Page 11

CONVOYS

Freighters in convoy scenarios do not need Ships Logs. They can be moved first without written orders. Non-

fatal hits can be recorded by placing counters beside the ship.

DD & CL FLOTILLAS

In larger WWI actions the presence of large numbers of Light Cruisers and Destroyers could make the game

unworkable if represented on a one on one basis.

For small actions, individual ship models should be used for CLs & DDs, but they can be organized into flotillas

of up to 4 CLs & 6 DDs (the DD flotillas can also include a CL leader). Each flotilla has a single Log Sheet.

The ships of each flotilla must remain in the same or adjacent hexes and move in concert - except for disabled

ships which may drop out and head for safety. Fire on the component ships is still calculated on a ship to ship

basis. If more than one ship is firing at the flotilla: Unless nominated otherwise, the first ship will fire at the

leader, the second at ship no.2, etc. The fire of the flotilla can be either ship by ship, or concentrated.

In moderate sized actions with a lot of DDs in the scenario it is recommended that 1 ship model be used for

every 2 DDs. In effect using half as many double sized ships - fudging the ship's damage chart to suit.

In very large actions, each DD or LC flot can be represented with a single ship model with appropriate ship

damage charts.

When a DD or CL is designated "sunk" - in a campaign situation this can be taken as a reported sinking - the

ship might be just too badly damaged to continue in the action. Campaign rules can deal with this.
