Turrets

When attacking with turreted guns, can line LoS be drawn through  the ship that is attacking?

Not sure I understand your question. Can you clarify it for me and I'll be happy to respond. Thanks!

Can a ship that is attacking with a turreted gun from the bow draw LoS through the ship into the stern LoS?

To simplify how much can a turreted gun move to hit its target? Is it only adjacent firing arc zones (Port and starboard arcs) or is it only a small portion of that.

Here is a crappy image I made

Red dots = bow arc
Blue dots = port and starboard
orange = stern
Black = possible LoS from a turreted gun in the bow and stern

can a turreted gun in the bow target all enemy units units located in the starboard or port side arcs?

(mental note: set up Errata sub-forum today)

Yes. A bow mounted turretted gun can fire at an enemy target in either of the port, bow or starboard arcs.  A stern-mounted turretted gun can fire at an enemy target in either of the port, stern or starboard arcs.

Note: not all bow or stern guns need be turretted. Bow and stern casemate/barbette arrangements existed, and exist.

There are currently no rules released for side-mounted turrets (in reality, wing turrets often had little ability to fire forward), ventral turrets or disappearing guns
