The British Navy (Britain's Naval Units)

Uh!

Gosh, the galley has more firepower than Victory!

Is this so?

They sound like gunboats with a super gun or 4...where is their firing arc? Sides or front?

Front firing. I have no idea what the massive firepower means. In all other aspects they are pretty poor ships, and very weak.

They looks stunning when rowing thir way across the waves though. Makes you want to see a Rome mod...

Soooooooooooo cool!...

I used to have a heavy tome on ancient naval warfare!

Who’d ah thunk it?

[Furunculus]

is there any accommodation for range in these stats?

[Fisherking]

There are all sorts of other stats if you look at the unit cards.

I think that all ranges for cannon are set at 400m though I hope that rockets and ship mortars are a bit more.

I don’t know how modable range will be but I can see good reason to tweak some of these in the future.

Some stats also improve, or it is the impression I get with load skills and so on.

[Furunculus]

so every ship mentioned above will have an effective range of 400 yards?

[Sir Beane]

Not every ship, no. Mortars and rocket ships have much greater range, other ships have less range. It's all on the unit cards but they would have taken a very long time to copy down.

There are also a few ship classes that Britain can't build, or that are trade ships.
