For the sake of brevity, this is the sequence under the Advanced rules, III, A, Wind numbers.
1. There is an original wind direction provided.
2. The advanced game chart shows the type of wind direction change, and velocity.
3. Wind change is determined every third turn, via 1D6. (a.) Then the direction is determined if a change is determined. (b.) Then the velocity.
(c.) Hurricane strength winds end the game immediately. Anything below light winds becalms all ships. (d.) Wind changes affect movement, full sail, and firing capabilities.


This could easily be implemented in webgames by changing the sequence. Simply add it as the "last" action of processing the turn, so that is shows up for players to submit their orders.

I have done the same resequencing for Battletech Doubleblind webgames/fastplay live games and suggested it for FTJava implementation as well, and it removes a step that players need to know for order submission.


There is no doubt that the wind issues could indeed be implemented. The webmasters are working on a plethora of rules updates. My first choice, however, would be the full sail option.

However, this is still a fun game, and continues to be FREE. I'm more than content to play within the confines of the current system. I'm more than happy with the current setup, and know that the powers-that-be will have all kinds of neat goodies shortly.

Patience, Southernskies. Rome wasn't built in a day, but I'll bet Milan was! Good ol' Celts that they are!

And my humble thanks to you guys who are presenting this game for us to enjoy!
