Dawn of the Battleship 1.1

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

      Dawn of the Battleship simulates naval warfare from 1890 up to 1904, just before technology began to quickly change in the years leading up to WW I. During this period, there are no all-big-gun battleships, aircraft, gun directors, or radios. In the 1890s, 1,500 yards was considered effective range, and 3,000 yards was long range. If you've played other naval games, you'll have to get in real close if you want to hit.

      Dawn of the Battleship gives the player a taste of what it was like to command a ship or formation during a late 19th/early 20th century sea battle. A player with little or no experience in naval combat can quickly learn the basic principles of naval warfare, and use them in the game to fight and win. Tactics that worked in history will work in this game.

      It can not only to recreate famous naval engagements such as the battles of Manila Bay and Santiago de Cuba, but also the myriad of “almost” battles between the rapidly growing fleets of Europe, Japan, and America.

      If you have played other Admiralty Trilogy games, this one uses the same terms and game system as the others (HarpoonCommand at Sea, and Fear God & Dread Nought). That makes it easy to learn and you know it will be accurate.

            This 1.1 update of Dawn of the Battleship incorporates Gunnery Standard 0* from Dawn of the Rising Sun. It is also more consistent with the rules in Fear God & Dread Nought. The .pdf is available as a free update to players who have purchased the earlier version.

How do I get the equivalent of the FGDN form 10s?

Would it be fair to call this ruleset a. Simplified/Streamlined version of the Admiralty Trilogy Group rules engine?

I ask as this ruleset covers the same time period as the ‘Fear God & Dread Nought’ rules no?

Why choose this ruleset over FG&DN?

My mistake…

DotB covers the ‘Pre-Dreadnought’ era
And
FG&DN covers the ‘Dreadnought’ and ‘WWI’ eras.

Having just bought Dawn of the Battleship, and Players handbook I'm alarmed and disappointed to find that ship details - like Annex A - are not included! Where do I get them from, and how much is it going to cost me?!

Hi,Friend.I thought you made a mistake that as the fourth game of Admiralty Trilogy series,Dawn of the Battleship is the rule book,which means you have to buy the ship data separately,like Home Fleet or American Fleets,because the Ship Data is for common use.

You need Dawn of the Rising Sun Annexes (ship data), and Dawn of the Rising Sun Scenarios, or Monroe´s Legacy, or a scenario with Included ship data from one of the ATG Naval SITREP´s.

Are the stats for the ships included with the rules or do you need to buy something else?

Very slow scrolling in Acrobat reader. I assume the images are much too large.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
