Sailing close to a cruiser to perform a torpedo attack also means getting into the firing range of its light artillery, which is deadly for such a small ship. He had to count on luck in this battle, especially when firing torpedoes. The tiny USS Ericsson torpedo boat also took part in the American-Spanish War in 1898. Interestingly, Nisshin – the main enemy in this battle, was the sister ship of the cruiser Cristobal Colon, which was sunk during the Battle of Santiago. This cruiser distinguished herself during the Battle of Santiago in 1898. Destroyers of this type took part in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. Two ships of this type were sold to Japan and one to Spain (Cristobal Colon). The photo shows the Nisshin, an amored cruiser of the Garibaldi type, a very successful line of Italian cruisers. In this hypothetical clash, two squadrons met: the Japanese, led by the armored cruiser Nisshin, supported by the destroyer (torpedo boat destroyer) Harusame, and the American, the backbone of which was the armored cruiser Brooklyn, with the torpedo boat Ericsson. However, instead of writing another thousand words of theory about what the game looks like, we invite you to read the battle report below. Togo is a game “for beer and pretzels”, or rather “for rum and shanties” 😉 Its rules are simple, intuitive and very easy to learn.

Here you can read how to prepare them for painting: LINK. The largest battleships are over 10cm long! They are created thanks to the 3D printing technique and are made in 1:1200 scale. Some of them can already be seen on our website. We wanted to use nice, large models for the game, which will also be very pleasant to paint.
These subsequent additions will include advanced rules, such as sailing in formation, commanding entire squadrons and flotillas, as well as combining sea and land combat (mainly for ironclads). The “Fleet Admiral” module will be dedicated to larger battles, which will be released along with other modules at a later date. A larger number is possible, but the game will be slow. It allows you to fight up to 5 – 7 ships per side.

The first is the “Captain of the Ship”, the main game manual containing the basic rules. Togo is a modular game and will consist of several elements that you can use freely in the game (or not). Therefore, fans of Virginia and Monitor, as well as Mikasa and Borodino will find their favorite ships here. Initially, there will be ships from two eras: ironclads (mainly the 1860s) and predrednoughts (from the end of the 1880s to 1905). Gods of War: Togo ( the patron of the game is the Japanese admiral Heihachirō Tōgō, winner of the battles in the Yellow Sea and Tsushima) is a game about naval battles, the mechanics of which are so universal that it can cover many epochs of wars on the seas. We would like to present you today the result of one of such games. We also went back to playing “live” last week. Luckily, at the end of the year, thanks to the use of on-line techniques, we were able to solve this and went back to testing. As we wrote in our post about the plans for 2021 and the 2020 summary, the Covid-19 pandemic has stopped the game testing for many months, which is needed to build balance in the game and test some detailed solutions. Today we decided to present you a battle report from the game Gods of War: Togo.
