There is a write up on our coastal forces game at: link So, which was best? – the Hunt type 2, or early class torpedo boats?

Sounds like fun. "So, which was best? – the Hunt type 2, or early class torpedo boats?" Probably depends upon which side's torpedoes are on target, at least for night actions. In that case, if I recall correctly, the Germans have more of them, so they probably have the advantage. British have the gun advantage, which is probably more useful in the daytime. Germans have a healthy speed advantage, so should be able to disengage at will, unless cornered, or damaged. I've been wanting to give something like that a try for some time. Need to paint some ships. Thanks for sharing your battle report, and photos. Very nice looking vessels. Are they 1/600th scale? Also, which rules did you use for the battle? |

Nice job;
The ships looked great.
I'll echo what Mako11 asked…what scale and what rules.
Thanks for sharing;

"the Hunt type 2, or early class torpedo boats?" Whoever has the better radar. Hunt IIs will always lose in a torpedo based evaluation since they didn't have any. But then I'd be happy with that if I could you see enhanced situational awareness to ensure that the first my enemy knew of my presence was the burst of a starshell overhead and salvoes of 4" arriving in quick succession :) |

Yes, the rules are my own. I have made a couple of modifications which should be up on the club website soon. If you want a current copy please E-Mail me at richardbradley5@gmail.com and I will send the most up to date version! The models are all Skytrex 1:600 Coastal warfare models. Next time, I plan to use some 'H' class fleet destroyers, which have their own torpedoes…Heh heh heh! |

Sounds good about the rules update. Looking forward to that. Thanks for sharing them, and your report/info/pics with us. I have no problem calling those Type III, or IV Hunts, for a good game. |
