Center Objective & Map Configs

[shadowhooch]

Anyone know if there will be an objective at the center of the map for victory (like AAM)?

Also, anyone have word if there will be set map configs? Or does anyone know how much LOS blocking there are on the maps?

Finally, it makes so much more sense with WAS...I hope there will be more than the 100 Point official game - as naval battles varied vastly in degree of size.

On page 1 of the quick start guide, it looks like the counter sheet shown in the photo includes 3 objective counters (the round ones designed like a radar screen).

Take another look at the photo on page 5 of the quick start guide. If that's an actual War at Sea map, it look's like it's designed to be pretty open.

My guess is that the island cards will be the main way to customize the battle map. Apparently there will be 6 of them included in the starter. That leads me to believe the cards will be of different sizes or can be used together to allow a greater variety of map configurations.

Navies don't "hold ground" or "seize objectives", they sink the other guy's ships.

Not totally true. Most truly decisive naval battles occurred when contesting control of specific strategic waters, such as a beachhead or channel.
