WWI Cruisers again

Germans (SteveJ & Mark): Seydlitz, Moltke, 3CA, 3CL, 6x2DD.
British (Mike & Chris): Lion, Tiger, 3CA, 3CL, 6x2DD.
Ships: 3D printed 1:1500. Rules: Deadnoughts.

The fleets are approaching each other as they pass thru an archipelago.  Brits are on the right.

The BCs & CAs pass on slightly divergent courses as the German CLs move into range of the Brit DDs in front of their own DDs.  Firing at extreme range the Moltke lands a lucky salvo on CA Black Prince & sinks her.

The British CAs have sunk a German CL as the German DDs charge towards them.

 

The British CAs turn away from German torpedoes & evade them.  The British light ships have made U-turns to protect the rear of their CAs & BCs.

The German DDs have retreated behind therr cruisers.  The British BCs have finally got past the island & their own DDs to finally get a clear line of sight on the German BCs & both ships immediately range in on their opposite number.

Molke gets the range on Tiger & the two ships trade broadsides.  Seydlitz fails to range in on Lion & is being pounded.  CA Blucher sinks her 2nd CL.  The German DDs are doubling back across the bow of 
Moltke.

CA Blucher has successfully turned away from British torpedoes, but only after sinking a Brit CA.  The German DDs are laying smoke preventing further fire between Tiger & Moltke with both ships heavily damaged.  The Seylitz takes more hits from Lion, still without replying.

As night falls, the Germans turn away laying smoke. 
Losses for the Germans are 1CA, 1CL & 1x2DD.  
Losses for the British are 1CA, 3CL & 2x2DD.
Seydlitz, Moltke & Tiger are all badly damaged.

The Germans definitely handled their light ships much better than the Brits as reflected in the relative losses, but that was countered by the deadly shooting of the big cats v. the German BCs.

In the morning the Berlin papers claim a great victory in sinking more ships, lauding Blucher's feat of sinking 2CLs & 1CA.
The British papers carry the news of a great British victory after forcing the Germans to retreat into the darkness.
Sounds familiar doesn't it?
