Battle of ONS-5
Posted: Mon Feb 14, 2011 2:38 pmGreetings all,
During the April Competition I entered a map; alas, it did not succeed in being voted in, but I think it is a very interesting map and I would like to see it through the Foundry.
We simply don't have enough Naval maps on this website, and the battle of ONS-5 was an intriguing convoy battle during World War II.
Here is the link to what I entered in the competition:
Here are notes on Gameplay:
Catalinas PBY (airplanes) can assault U-360, U-192, U-531, U-630 and U-638
+ 2 for all Catalinas
+ 4 for possessing all of Uboat Group Amsel I
+ 8 for holding all of Uboat Group Star
+2 for holding five subs
+ 4 for holding Naval Group North
+ 4 for holding Naval Group South
+1 autodrop for HMS Tay
+ 2 for HMS Vidette and Duncan
+ 1 for two Flower Class Cruisers (Loosestrife, Pink, Snowflake or Sunflower)
+ 1 for every 4 ships.
Automatic +1 drop for Greenland, which starts neutral.
Automatic +1 drop for British Lady
The reason I'm posting this here is that I won't be able to work on it alone, as I haven't much time, these days. Map Foundry assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Also, I don't wish to see it stay like the image before - I want a blue sea and fully coloured ships - an "impressive" depiction of the battle.
