WWI Battle cruisers again

Germans: SteveJ, Mike & Mick: 5 BC, 2CL, 6DD
British: Mark & Chris: 7BC, 2CL, 8DD

The Germans are on the left, Dergfflinger in the lead.
The Brits have thei old BCs in the lead with 3 big cats behind.
The Germnas are returning from bombarding England & the Brits determined to cut them off & destroy them.  The LC's in the centre have detected the enemy.
The lead Brits are trying to cross the German T while the cats race to catch up.
The Brits got the angle wrong & it was then who got their T crossed.  They turned away under a hail of German shells.  In the centre the outnumbered German DDs have turned away from the Brit DDs
The lead Brit squad did not have DDS handy to lay smoke & the Indominable is going down.
Invincible has followed Indominable to the bottom.
The attack by the lead flotilla of Brit DDs has been called off after heavy losses from the German BC's secondaries.

New Zealand was next to go as the British signal general retreat.

The Brits have lost 3 old BCs & some DDs.  The Derffligger, Seylitz & some German DDs have some damage.  The Brits got their angle of attack wrong & the Germans took full advanage.
