Coastal guns and bombardment missions, can you bombard enemy ships in ports and/or coastal guns?
A. We had originally intended to do this. After all, such bombardments did occur in the RJW. But when we really looked into the issue, it became apparent that absolutely nothing of any value was accomplished by these bombardments in the RJW. And unlike WWI, where German bombardments of English coastal towns will have serious political effects, there really isn’t any reason for coastal bombardments. Without any “reward” for conducting bombardments, we realized that players were extremely unlikely to engage in them – so we decided to skip on bombardments for the moment. They may be added in a future campaign variant, particularly as the engine evolves to handle WWI.
