I was looking at the rules of the Queens Own and I noticed a major area of naval combat that was completely ignored: submarines. Having seen two 1:144 combat submarines in combat (dynamic diving, two single-shot 1/4" ball bearing torpedos), I know that they would be even easier to build in a larger scale. It seems as though they could have an impact on this hobby, so I wonder how they would be armed? What is your opinion on combat submarines?
This is purely out of curiosity and speculation. My hands are quite full with school and finishing a refit on a 1:144 Scharnhorst. This post has been edited by Gascan: Oct 1 2004, 08:36 PM -------------------- Rear Admiral Eric Bitondo
