The scenario is loosly based on Dogger Bank. The OOBs are similar except the Germans also have von der Tann.
At the start only 2 detachments of LCs & DDs are on the table, having just moved into sight of each other (at 1m). On the table but recorded on a map & only known to their own side both sides had more ships.The Germans had another scout group echeloned forward on the left & one echeloned back on the right of the one on the table. Behind the centre one was asquadron of 3 BC: Derfflinger, Moltke & Seydlitz, Beind the LH one was von der Tann & Blucher.
The Brits had behind the screen on the table BCs Indominable & New Zealand. Near the near LH corner of the tabel they had 3 BCs, Lion, Princess Royal & Tiger behind another screen of CL & DD.
The first British squadron had orders to locate & report on numbers of enemy Capital ships. The second squadron led by Beatie was eager to fight.
The Germans had orders to destroy weaker enemy or run from superior force. Beatie's screen has just been revealed on the left. Von der Tann & Blucher are heading straight at him.
The 1st German squadron has come into sight crossing the T of the 1st British squadron. CLs & DDs are milling about between the big boys.The 1st Brits have turned to uncross the T, but Seydlitz is pounding Indominable. von der Tann has turned left to present her broadside to Tiger but at extreme range.Blucher has been hit hard by Tiger. The 1st British squadron has turned away as DDs lay smoke.& the 1st Germans are following them.Beatie's DDs have laid smoke to prevent the 1st Germans T'ing them. Blucher has run away with serious but not fatal damage. von der Tann has made U turn & survies as the Brits have trouble ranging in.Von der Tann has taken damage from Lion, but evaded & shook off the slavos. Beatie has passed thru his DD screen & the best BCs are now enchanging. The ships in the foreground are British ships that have broken off with damage.Seydlitz had given Tiger some serious damage, then von der Tann returned to the fight & landed devastating salvo to finish her off. As dusk settles the Germans turn away & the Brits are pleased to see them go.
The Brits lost 3 LCs & the BC Lion sunk. 3 other BCs & a lot of their LCs & DDs have serious damage.
The Germans lost 1 CL & 4 DDs sunk. Blucher, Seydlitz & some DDs & CLs had some serious damage.
With Beatie at the bottom of the sea, it was clearly a German victory.
