    Default Where are the Torpedo rules on here?

    Saw a post from a game scenario by Andrea involving SM.79's in a torpedo run and there was a mention about torpedo rules on here, but I cannot seem to find them. Can someone post a link?

    AFAIK, he has not posted them here. I'm hoping they will be with the release of the SM.79s, though he didn't answer my question in that thread,

    Andrea has announced in the thread (link below) a torpedo kit as the Lancaster Dambuster set that included a rule sheet :

    ”Our plan is to give a little kit in the torpedo-bomber version of the S.79 as we did for the dam attack in the Dambusters version of the Lancaster, and this is one of the three scenarios included”.

    As the Dambuster Special Pack included a rule leaflet, the SM 79 torpedo Special Pack will also include a special torpedo rule.

    Three simple words: "Still In Development." Andrea really wants to make sure that they're right before the Hunchback releases, because it's going to be a springboard to the South Pacific release that we've busted our butts with research for.

    There are some air-sea rules done by Neil [Skafloc], somewhere in the Files section, IIRC. I've used a few versions of his ship bombing rules with the HMS Glorious model at conventions.

    Well, they have been developed and tested for 4 years now. Ares had them time ago, I just sent a couple of little refinements from the last games. Waiting for production to be done and distribution to start, but I have no control over the timing.

    Thanks for the official update, Andrea, hope I wasn't "talking out of turn" too much.
