The most noticable problem is the absence of an index. This makes it hard to find something unless you are looking for something that you know the name or class.

The product is incomplete.

I am not an expert in the great Patriotic war against facism period, but even I know that River class Frigates were essential to winning the Battle of the Atlantic. (Does no one read Monserrat's Cruel Seas anymore?). It is a bit like me as an expert on the Revolutionary and Napoleonic world wars writing a book and leaving out the Leda class Frigate (which I would not do).

Anywat I searched the pdf seperately under "River" and "Wear" and was unbable to find these fine ships.

As I say, I'm not an expert other important ships and classes could be missing as well.

In conclusion a very suspect product and a waste of money.

Kind Regards

David

We are sorry that you were disappointed by the product and feel that we should provide a response. In the case of the lack of an index, what we did do is provide a Catalogue which is included in the Zip files as part of the Rules Support Package. As regards the question of the absence of the frigates, it should be mentioned that the rules are not intended for use representing anti submarine warfare, which would cover the Battle of the Atlantic. There are other sets of rules more suitable for that aspect of the Second World War. The rules are not intended for convoy actions but rather for actions between surface warships, which is why we created very few battle scenarios set in the Atlantic, the majority being in the Mediterranean or the Pacific. The vast library of ships that are included in the various ship data sets covers every nation from the 1880's through to 1945, with all classes of ship down to the size of a destroyer escort. There are over 3800 different datasets for "classes", which include variants as ships were modified over the years, and the majority of these datasets then have individual listings for many ships in that class. Regards A&A Game Engineering

As a postscript to our reply to the review, we would also like to add that our policy with all our rules is that we will add new data if we are asked for it. This depends on the availability of the technical data required, which in the case of the River Class Frigates we do have (HMS Wear is one of the ships in this class).
