May 18th 2021: Lots More WS&IM Beta Rules Going Live! REPAIRS!
We are bringing the rest of the WS&IM Beta rules live. This includes the new interface which is Mobile compatible, Backing Sails and, more importantly, Repairs! Plus many other bug fixes.
Here's the whole list.
As per BlueDragon - Be Sure to Thank Him!
Mobile Interface Controls
Moved the controls in the top right corner. I didn't want to steal precious space for the event log on the left.
The Ship Status should automatically move down a bit to make space for the Ship Controls.
You can click directly on a ship to select it or use the next/previous ship button.
I have also:
- added Help descriptions on popup (? icon) for SkipTBP, Offer Draw and Surrender. Removed the text near them and made them a single line.
- added the improved targeting (Full Guns solutions are preferred on equal HdT)
- added ship autofocus when clicking on the ships or on PrevShip / NextShip buttons. The window will try to scroll so that the ship is on the center of the page.
- fixed map rendering on some tablets
Backing Sails
These allow a ship to Back Sails for a move, preventing some automatic Foulings that sometimes occur.
REPAIRS
Ships which don't load or fire guns, engage in melee, become involved in a collision, up-anchor, change from full sails to battle sails or vice-versa, or expend any factors of its movement allowance to turn (only move in a straight line or not at all), may make repairs; provided there are at least two crew sections available. (The second section need not be complete). All repairs take three turns (not necessarily in sequence). In three turns, two hull, two rigging, or two gun squares can be repaired. Repairs cannot be made on "surrendered" ships. Only one type of repair may be made per turn.
Bug Fixes and other small stuff
- Fixed the bug discovered by Longneck on Rule V.D1 and I implemented Rule V.D.3 which was missing.
- Fix on Rule V.D.1
- Rule V.D.3
- Fix grapple release when ship explodes or sinks
- Added Wind Scenario info when game is Advanced
- Fixed bug which displayed incorrect wind on Turn 0
- Fixed wrong redirection from Beta to Main on scenario preview
- Fixed scenario preview: now ships are visible again
- Added Wind info on scenario preview, improved visuals

More Updates!

The Ship Status should automatically move down a bit to make space for the Ship Controls (this is done by Javascript at runtime).
