Default RE: MWCI rules

The reason we are studying the rules, is that some of the guys in 1/72nd took SO long to refit their boats between battles, that I joked we could fight 1/144 ships between 1/72nd sorties. Well now it seems like we may be hosting an ALL scale Nationals in Molalla, Oregon, next year.

I would rather battle with unrestricted turret options or big guns, but it seems like the reason MWCI rules are being considered, is that three of our guys is in San Jose, and the other is in Minnesota. So that puts them nearest to MWCI rules.

The Littorio Class at full load tonnage, 45,236 tonnes, puts them at "7 battle units" so I was looking at 6 cannons and one pump.

At this point, I would probably arm the forward secondaries, on each side, and rotate the bow turret.
That would use up the 6 offensive unit, and put the two side cannons in "different turrets". With a triple traverseing in the stern.
Jeez...[&o], I totally object to that guns must be in different turrent rule.[:'(]

It's like, someone at one time said, "We cant build twin or triple rotating guns, so lets just rule they have to be in different turrets."
I so had triple gun turrents in mind when we first proposed the 1/144 "filler" battles for next years nationals.
