WWI Cruiser Action

Germans (Chris): BC Seydlitz, 2 CA, 4 CL, 6 DD flots.
British (Mark): BC's New Zealand & Invincible, 2 CA, 4 Cl & 6 DD flots.

The Germans are on the right, Sydlitz is turning to port  with 2CA's followin& 3 DD flots each side.  The CLs are close to the island.
New Zealand leads Invincible turning to starboard with CA's on the left, CL on their right,  DDs on both flanks.
The BC's are exchanging ranging shots over the German DDs which have launched torpedoes (torp models hidden under cards).
The New Zeland & Seydlitz ranged in on each other, after two slavoes on target, the New Zealand went down while the Seydlitz shrugged off the damage.
The German DDs were mostly blown away by a hail of fire from BC secondaries, CA & CL but theri orps have sunk a CA & a CL.
The Brits DDs have launched torpedoes & the German LCs have turned towards them succesfully avoiding being hit.
The Brits decide that it's suicide to take on Seylitz with just Invincible, so turn away laying smoke.
