@Tjoek Of course! The map felt and played at least as good as the real deal.

Some time ago, Tjoek had this map printed for us on the original size. The quality of the map is excellent: the resolution is high and the material seems robust. It’s at least as good as an official map. Very happy with the result!

I’ll upload 2 pics to show the resolution (check out the IPC-tracker Tjoek added) and the relative size.

It is permitted and not at all considered bad form. It would be expected from you.

If my opponent would NOT tip his battleship, I would probably ask him if he’s sure.

@derpsa said in Hallo there, I am a new player.:

Would attacking the brit and french fleet in sz 110 be a bad idea?

No, that’s a good idea.

But it’s no use asking questions like this, since you have to play the game a lot to understand why it’s a good idea (in this instance, what that fleet is capable of if you let it live). So: Play play play!

Nice idea!

People often encounter this when playing by forum: one player makes his combat moves, but needs to know a few things before rolling dice (like in your examples). In most cases, it can be solved by going ahead according to an honour system, where you choose the option you perceive as optimal. The opponent would be informed of choices you made on their behalf, and was given the option to redo a battle according to their wishes (this shouldn’t happen since the choice was obvious!).

When the optimal choice isn’t entirely clear, we’d usually ask the opponent (via phone).
