need opinions on design for a game project.

Historical geeky remark: is it exclusively about the WWII era? Then some guys may notice that the first color pic (firing Iowa class) shows the ship in it's post-WWII times (reactivated under Reagan IIRC, with missiles, heli launch pad and all).

You know, BeBro, on one hand, i tend to agree, on the other i dont. I mean i WOULD be very irritated, if someone hung a swastika flag out of his window. If the law be abolished, there could absolutely nothing be done against that. We would actually have demos with the right-wingers waving their beloved flag in all public, probably wearing arm-bands as well and such. Probably they should just handle it more lax, interprete it more freely, especially when it comes to games with historical content.

Well, as has been asserted, it´s not the Iowa-class, but the carrier-strike-class, you geek! :P

and as for the carrier strike, the card may be used as a 1 point 11" salvo, or may be used as a carrier strike. the ammo classes range from 11" to 18" and to provide incentive for players to use higher point and caliber salvos, we're providing a bonus to the carrier strike function. the 4 point 18" salvo is slated for "carrier strike +3." doing this also penalizes players who hoard the non-salvo play cards and just discard smoke and minesweeper cards.
