Brits (Chris): 2 BC's (Tiger & Lion), 2CA, 2CL & 2 flots DD's.
Germans (Jim): 2 BC's (Moltke & Seydlitz), 2CA, 2CL & 2 flots DD's.
Ships: 3D printed. House Rules.
The Germans are on the near (LH) side & have turned to port to go south of the islands.
The Brit DDs have gone round the south of the islands & make torpedo attacks. The DD's were shot up by the German DDs & cruisers and the few torps got away were evaded.
The German CA's have circled the 1st island to engages the brit CA's.
The Brit DD's are all destroyed or sinking. The German CA's came under fire from the Brit BC's and CA's & have turned away laying smoke.
The BC's are exchanging fire through the strait & the Brits have landed the first serious blows.
The German DD's have advanced to fire torpedoes. The Brit BC's turned away to avoid the torps. The torps all missed, but the Brit BC's evasive action made them lose the range to save the German BC's from serious damage.
There's a bit of a lull in the action as the BC's circle opposite sides of the 2nd island.
The German DD's escape the British cruisers by laying smoke.
The BC's come into sight of each other again and both soon get the range.
It's matter of bigger British guns v. thicker German armour as both side's BC's cop a pounding.
It could have gone either way, but the dice gods favoured the Germans & it was the Tiger that cracked & the lion turned away under smoke. Sydlitz then added her guns to the cruisers pounding the CA Duke of Edinburgh & sent her to the bottom as well.
The Brits turned away laying smoke.
