I went ahead and bought Dahlgren and Columbiad, so I have the answer to my previous query, but I now I need to know about this deck of 6 cards mentioned in the D&C rules. Are they just regular playing cards, 3 black, 3 red?

I got this PDF for the ship stats and I find I cannot interpret the charts.
Could someone please explain the headings for the charts starting on page 20?

On page 12 for Spar torpedoes the rules say a D6 is thrown if the bows contact a target ship. 1,2 = dud, 6,5 = detonates. What happens on a 3, 4?

Thanks

The torpedo does not detonate but remains available to be used in subsequent attacks

Do these rules cover river steamer gunboats too?

Yes they do - and the By sea and by river supplement has loads of stats for just about every ship in the ACW!

The issue on the light gunnery table is now fixed :)

On www.thewargameswebsite.com/forums/topic/la-guerra-del-pacifico-1879/ David Manley wrote "...there was an update issued that caught those errors (apart from the missing “4” line in the light damage table – should be 3, 4), which were as you have identified. You may have missed an email alert to the update."

So no it wasn't intentional

Sorry. If it wasn't obvious but I'm not David Manley. Just saw that bit I quoted over on thewargameswebsite.com and thought it would help. I will make a post there about this and perhaps he can get it fixed.

On the Light damage tables there is no entry for a 4. Is this intentional?

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.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
