Question concerns fires & floods. On the ship record sheets there are spaces to record up to 5 fires, but there is only one space to record floods. I understand that at 5 fires the ship must be abandoned. I assume it is possible to have more than 1 flood at time as well based on the fact that there are several damage results that can cause a flood. Is this correct?

Tom,

You are correct. You can have more than one flooding result on a SSL. Simply note this on the SSL.

Good that some one open All ready a tread for Questions.
Is there an update comming? Because i miss the states for French and soviet ships.

Duke,

The stats for all the ships that GHQ makes are scheduled to be the next supplement, along with several corrections necessary for the rules and the first supplement. The date for this release is unknown to me. However I am sure GHQ will announce the date when they are ready to publish.

Thank you for the information. Hope it will be soon.

Rule 8.3.4 (cohesion action restrictions) Do the failure restrictions only apply to gunnery or would they also apply to torpedo fire?

For example its a daylight action and the cohesion roll is missed by +1 to +5.. One ship must fire "all weapons" in range at the closest equivelent target. Do I fire all guns and torp mounts that can fire, or just guns? If torps are included do I need to fire all mounts that have the target in the firing arc?

Tom,

The cohesion failure is a compulsory attack on the closest target, with all weapons in range (including torpedoes), even though 8.3.4 states "combat phase".
This represents a "hesitation" on the part of the squadron commander, and a "itchy trigger finger" on the part of one of the squadron's ships skipper.

Russ,

Thanks for the clarification.. Quess it would really suck if your the skipper of the IJN Kitikami and you were the one with that itchy trigger finger 20 torps per broadside potentially gone.
