We played Broadside: Empires of Steel again on Thursday, with Ralph running what turned out to be an ambitiously large scenario for six players featuring escorted German battleships trying to break through converging British forces to bombard the English coast. We had twelve ships on each side.
A mistake in the reading of the scenario setup saw the Germans come in from a different corner than the one hey were supposed to, pushing the ships of both sides into a fight along one edge of the table instead of more to the middle.
The British battlecruisers got in some excellent early hits on their German counterparts, badly damaging a couple.
British battlecruisers, as yet untroubled by German fire.
I didn't get any pictures after these one. A lot more fire was exchanged but with six people, most of whom were unfamiliar with the game, things took longer to resolve than we hoped and we had to finish before things really got going.
You can read more about the game in my post from earlier this year.
