WWI Cruisers

 Germany (Jim): von der Tann, 3CA, 3CL, 4x2DD
Britain (Chris): Inflexible, Indominable, 2CA, 3CL & 4x2DD
Rules: Dreadnaughts house rules.
Ships: 1:1,500 3D Printed. 

The Germans are in the foreground.

Both sides adjust the position of their DDs as the bigger ships steam forwards.

The British CAs & BCs turn towards the enemy to close the range.  The Germans maintain course.

The first losses are some of the British DDs who ventured too close to many enemy light & heavt cruisers.  The von der Tann has ranged in on Indominable & CA Blucher on CA Black Prince.  Black Prince has ranged in on Blucher, but has her T crossed.

CA Black Prince goes down under the concentrated fire of 3 German CAs. von der Tann & Indominable are ranged in on each other, but Indominable has her T crossed & getting the worst of it.

Von der Tann changes targets to Inflexible leaving CA  to finish off Inflexible.  The other German CAs sink the CA Duke of Edinborough.  The British LC sink some German DDs, but small compensation for their losses elsewhere.

The Inflexible is doomed & goes down in hail of fire from von der Tann & 3 CAs.  She didn'rtsurvive long enough to worry about the torpedoes the DDs have put in the water (directions hidden under blue cards).  The British LCs & remaining DDs run for home.

A crushing German victory with 2BC, 2CA & 2x2DD sunk for the loss of 2x2DD. 
The Germans out maneuvered the British & crossed their T as well as being blessed with some good dice in the right places.
