Version History

Version 1.6.10 - 8 Sept 2024

  1. Numerous changes made at request of the game's creator, Mark A. Campbell, to support PBEM play.
    1. Many changes and additions to status markers
    2. Added large "Blank Map" (open sea, 60x150 hexes) to support large fleet battles with minimal map shifting.
    3. NOTE WELL that support for 12-point facing (added in 1.5) has been REMOVED in this version.
  2. Changes developed with VASSAL 3.6.6, but has been tested with VASSAL 3.7.14 and found to work.

Version 1.5 - 26 Oct 2021

  1. Added 12 point turns to support use of the Bloody Red Flag rules.

Version 1.4 - 2-13-06

  1. After releasing version 1.2, I soon realized I had a problem with the way the plot chits worked. Version 1.4 should correct this problem.
  2. I also added button graphics for the ship logs and plot chit boards.

Version 1.2 - 2-12-06

  1. Updated player sides to allow from 2-10 players to participate at one time.
  2. Added enough ship logs to the module to track five ships per side for a total of ten players. If more than ten ships are used the extras will have to be tracked offline.
  3. Added a notes section.

Version 1.0 - The initial module release - 11-15-05.
