On Friday afternoon, Steve and I had a great game of General Quarters III, playing a fictitious engagement in the North Sea as a Imperial Navy fleet of battle-cruisers, light cruisers and torpedo boats attempts to draw the Royal Navy into a decisive action.

Been in a naval mood lately eh? Another exciting report. I donīt know who would be in deeper doo-doo, the captain of the cruiser that was sunk by the friendly torpedo, or the captain of the destroyer that launched it. Either way, things would not be pleasant! |

Cheers Jack, sorry if it is not clear, one of the torpedo boats was sunk by the torpedo from another torpedo boat. The Royal Navy light cruiser was a legitimate target :) I have tidied the wording up a little. |

Not quite as bad then, they were quite expendable :) |

S--- happens. I remember a WW II Med game where 2 Italian and one RN cruiser ran aground whilst maneuvering Unwisely. |

It's only because it is a game that you even recognize your own goal; Didn't the (Much hyped) Japanese do the same in the Dutch East Indies in 1942? |
