Cruels Seas

Chris had 2 Fairmiles & 6 Vospers with a mission to sink  German minelayer.
Jim had a minelayer being escorted by 6 e-boots.
A one-on-one face to face game, but with 1.8m social distancing across the table.
The e-boots split & head to flanks of the oncoming line of MTBs.
The lead e-boots take a pounding from the 6pdrs on the Fairmiles & the lead boot on the right has gone down. 
 Both Fairmiles also been sunk.  But so has another e-boot & there are torpedoes in the water.
The last S-38 goes down as the minesweeper turns away from the torpedoes, but the 3 remaining S100 e-boots are closing on the remaining Vespers.
The Minesweeper succeeds in evading the torps as the e-boots mop up.

An interesting little game.  For a while it looked like the Brits were going to lose when the Brits sunk  2 e-boots for no loss.  But the minsweeper got in some good shots with their 3" guns & once they got in close the S-100's with 9 20mm barrels each were deadly.
