More Cruel Seas

Ian came around tonight and I introduced him to Cruel Seas.

We started off with the first scenario from the book as a learning exercise. Then we played a S-boat attack on a British convoy, 3 S-boats vs 2 Merchantmen and 2 armed trawlers.

Ian tried launching all his torpedoes in the same turn, with a crisscrossed spread hoping to catch one of the merchants, which he did. The trawlers did a lot of damage to one of the S-boats, almost sinking it, but the surviving merchant moved in their line of fire in order to avoid torpedoes.

The trawler narrowly avoided a collision and the S-boats escaped in the confusion.

 The convoy steam ahead.

 The S boats move up.

 A narrow escape!

Oh bugger!!

Once again, it was great fun to play, |i'm hving a lot of fun with these rules.

    1. It's the advantage of having a separate gaming space where I can leave everything set up.
