WWI Cruiser Action

Dale is in Hobart & was introduced to WWI Naval Camp Cromwell style.
Germans (Dale): Seydlitz, Moltke, Blucher, 2 LC & 3 DD flots.
Brits (Jim): Lion, Tiger, New Zealand, 2 LC,& 3 DD flots.

The Brits are in the foreground in a long column with a LC + DD on each flank. 
The German DDs are going around the island, the Blucher leads their LCs in front of the big cats.

The Brits get a good start when the Tiger's first salvo lands on Seydlitz.

Disaster struck the Brits when the New Zealand tried to cross between the cats & collided with Lion.  The Lion survived ok, but New Zealand crumpled her bow & sunk. 
The British line has been T'd by Blucher & the lead LC is in big trouble.
The BC's are now trading salvoes , but an LC is taking the punishment.
The German DD's are closing on the British rear.

The leading British LC & DD have been sunk.
The Seydlitz has been sunk by Tiger.

Blucher had turned to starboard to fire on Lion, but has turned away after the British DDs launched torpedoes in their direction.
Moltke has sunk Lion, but Tiger has retaliated & sunk Lion (the ship with smoke all over it).  

Blucher has turned back towards the fray.
The Lion is still afloat, but badly damaged & under torpedo attack as the Brit DDs try to protect her with smoke.  Lion has managed to evade the torps & despite her damage is still faster than Blucher.
The Brits have lost 2 BC, 2 LC & 1 DD.
The Germans have lost 2 BC & 1DD.
All the DDs have fired all their torps.

The papers in both London & Berlin will be proclaim heavy losses suffered by the enemy.
Both sides lost 2 capital ships. 
One of the Brit losses was only an obsolete BC, but they also lost 2 LC. 
The battle has to be called a draw despite what the papers might say.
