No Turkeys 2 2009 - Valgame

No Turkeys 2 – 2009 Aprile Game 11
5.0 Wind
Wind has one attribute: Direction. Direction is from one of the six
Compass points provided in map. Direction affects movement.
Wind (at start) is recorded in the scenario rules and must be
checked every turn (Wind Chit). Check the Compass in map (for
the wind direction). Every player can put wind markers (arrows)
near the units in map in order to have a closer sight of the wind
direction.
To be into the wind (against) or downwind (wind in stern) is
determined by the wind direction and the frontage of the
counters. There are six possible wind directions and they will
always be three opposing and three favouring directions.
6.0 Special Movements

ddaammaaggeedd sshhi iippss aanndd GGaal lll lleeaasssseess
Prohibited under Storms, this is a special movement which may
be performed by Galley units (more ships) helping damaged or
slower single ships as the Galleasses. In this case the players can
organize one stack with the two units involved and put a Towing
Marker on it. The Stack will move with the Galleys Unit
allowance (towing ships, being the single ship the towed unit)
less 2 MPs.
66. ..22 Leeaaddeer L r Moovvee
When this Chit is drawn the players nay relocate their leaders in
other units of the same Group provided the group is lined astern
(see 2.32) or in battle line (lined abreast).
7.0 Leaders
Admirals, officers in overall command of a fleet or of a part of it
(division wing or group). They can command the whole fleet or a
single group (division) in the same moment.
Captains: officers who commands a division of ships.
77. ..11 Whheer ree aar ree Leeaaddeer L rss??
Leaders are not in map. They must be deployed in the Player’s
Logs on a proper space which represents one of the counters in
map. Players may arrange them as wanted but one Leader
(whatever) must always be present, if possible, in the group’s
leading ships (es. a Capitana). Leaders can change their position
when the Leader Move chit is drawn. If no leader can be in a
Capitana unit, then the group becomes automatically LMA. There
is no limit to the number of Leaders who can be present in a
counter space.
77. ..22 Leeaaddeer L rss aanndd aac ct ti iioonnss
The presence of a Leader do not have any impact on Maneuvers.
Leader counters bear their names and an Efficiency Rating which
can be useful in combats. Leaders can be captured or lost in
combats. This will count to determine Victory conditions. So stalk
the Leaders!
77. ..33 Leeaaddeer L rss Loosssseess L
Leaders can die during rake attacks or boardings. They can also
be captured during grappling/boarding attacks. The aftermath
will be the same as actually there was an inclination to kill
prisoner leaders, to cut their heads and to throw the “trophy”
inside the opponents ships. A Group/Division remained without
any Leader, immediately loses 10 MNP points on its track.
7.31 Leader’s Elimination Check procedure
During a rake or boarding attack the players must declare if
leaders are present (on the counters involved,
in the proper space of the Player’s Log.
The Leader’s owning Player rolls a dice, if he
gets a 5 or a 6 the leader is recognized and
targeted by the enemy. On a 1–4 there is a No
Effect result. The leader is allowed to remain
in his space. With 5 and 6 results a second check is needed: if the
result is 1 – 2 the Leader escapes the capture; if the result is 3 or
4 the Leader is wounded and removed from play; if the result is 5
or 6 the Leader is captured or eliminated, removed from play
(and awards VPs to the enemy Player).
If the unit is captured and the leader escape, displace him in an
adjacent unit of his own formation. If none he is lost.
7.32 Eliminating Admirals
In Lions at Sea the actual Admirals command only a wing of the
whole Fleet present at Lepanto. If Admirals (Bragadin and
Shoraq) are wounded / captured / eliminated the play will
normally continue.
8.0 Combats
All combats between opposing units occurs during the combat
segments. Only adjacent combat units may be bombarded
(boarding and ramming happen in the same hex). The attacker
conducts a series of attacks in the order he desires. Attacks are
resolved one at a time, and their results fully applied before
proceeding with the next attack.
88. ..11 BBaat tt tl llee Li Liinneess
Attacking ships or groups can take some advantage to maneuver
in a battle line formation called Line Abreast. At least 3 counters
(allowed 2 galleys units and no more than one single ship), of a
given squadron, must be lined up, flank-to-flank, connected by
their broadsides (flank hexes), like an “infantry continuous line”.
There is some specific rule for this formation and its efficacy and
usage arise from play. Each rake attack, which begins from a
Line abreast formation (already deployed before moving) will
have some advantages. See after.
88. ..22 RRaakkee AAt tt taac ckkss
Rake attacks (bombardments at close range) can be made against
adjacent enemy units provided they are in the Arc of Fire of the
bombarding unit. Only rowing mode allows rake attacks.
8.21 Arc of Fire
Units (ships) can bombard only hexes which are in their arc of
fire (guns). They are:
