Jutland Battlecruisers

Thursday's club theme was naval, so four of us played Broadsides: Empires Of Steel. The game was some phase of Jutland involving battlecruisers. Ralph and I were the British with six fairly good ones under our command, whilst Caesar and Stuart played the Germans who had five less good ones, but some supporting light cruisers as well. 

The Royal Navy, looking very organised. 

The Royal Navy looking less organised as we decided how to deal with the approaching light cruisers and their torpedoes.  

Ralph used his big guns to pound the German battlecruisers, and caused a couple of fires on the German flagship. 

We took very little damage back, but  those dastardly light cruiser started to move into torpedo range. This one missed with its first shot. 

It didn't survive long enogh for a second. 

We had to finish the game at that point, with a second wave of cruisers descending on the British, who were checking the rules for firing secondary guns.

I had a couple of older battlecruisers at the back of the line, so got to fire pot-shots at the cruisers. But I didn't get a single shot on target. Still, it wasn't for lack of trying.
