RE: How many PG-HQ'ers are also GWAS/SWWAS players?
The battle game is okay, but I really got these for the operational game. I was going to go to minis with GQ3 (WW2) or Fleet Action Imminent (WW1) for the tactical encounters. But I have grown to enjoy the simplicity of the battle scenarios. Scenarios 1 and 3 from SOPAC have only a few impulses, with sighting already having happened, and they are pretty much over in one shot. The Bismarck vs Hood battle scenario from the Bismarck game took two rounds, but then Bismarck went to the bottom and both British ships stopped to lick wounds and let the Prinz Eugen get away.
I had Flat Top but never had anyone to game with at that point, and the kids were at an awkward age, where leaving a game out anywhere wasn't safe against the occasional thrown toy. I really need to go back to the Dreadnoughts book and try out that set of rules for WW1. I now have a local player who wants to do some of these games.
