    Im set on a 1 unit pump, the extra help is too much to resist, so i will stay with 2.5 units. I am thinking 2 stern guns, and a .5 unit spurt gun. what do you guys think?

    What ruleset? If it is IRCWCC, it would appear to fall under

    d. Any authorized ½ battle unit may be used as either of the following:
    1) A ½ unit pump, provided it is the only pump on the ship; or
    2) A 1 ½ unit single shot cannon with a 75 BB magazine

    Which would prohibit that... Marty, is that still valid?

    Yea, IRCWCC. But yea, if i wanted, i could use a .5 unit pump and 3 guns or a 1 unit pump and 2.5 units of guns. I dont think that prohibits it, because i can use it due to this:

    5. Except as provided in section 11.e, below, a ship may mount only a single one-half (½) unit cannon in its offensive armament, and a whole cannon unit shall not be divided into smaller (½ or ¼) unit cannons

    I think we need a opinion from the IRC leadership on this, as I would interpret it to prohibit half unit cannons on any ship bigger than class 2. Damn contradictory rules.

    Marty, do you have any insight?

    just got word back from the legend, the 1/2 unit cannon is not allowed in IRCWCC on this ship.

    Edit: It seems there is some disagreement on the IRC list... bloody confusing rules...

    I would think that a set up for the Graf Spee would be .5 unit pump and three stern cannons.
