It was simple scenario with just 4 German capital ships, 5 British & flocks of light cruisers & destroyers on each side. The battle started with the two fleets on converging courses. The Germans opened fire at nearly 20,000 yards (12 hexes) as the Brits tried to move in closer. The British flagship, the Lion was hit hard by the Derfflinger & turned away with critical damage before any British ships found the range. But when the range closed the Brits started scoring hits. The Germans then decided they had done enough in severely damaging the Lion & turned away behind a smoke screen laid by their DDs & began work on their press release regarding their glorious victory.
The game was followed by more discussions. The tactical rules got a general tick with just a couple of points raised for minor tweaks. The strategic rules are expected to be ready for the campaign kick off in a few days.
