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.
You are definitely getting the games in! Nice one Graham
ReplyDeleteIt's the advantage of having a separate gaming space where I can leave everything set up.
