A report with photos of a recent game appears on my blog. We used 1/1200 ships and a lightly modified version of the classic Fletcher Pratt naval war game.
Part 1 – setting the scene: link
Part 2 – shark bait: link
Part 3 – the cliffhanger: link
Part 4 – the bitter end: link |

Lovely stuff – the nostalgia. And great to see the harbour walls in action – I've got some of them and a lighthouse and a fun pier…! Must dig 'em out and have a game – I really must. I'm inspired…! Oh and of course, the golf tees… Thanks for sharing… Doug |

Great report! It takes me back to the Fletcher Pratt games my friends and I would play in a church parking lot. |

Yes, great report. I had a lot of fun with FP way back when, but I don't believe I could game on the floor any more. |

Interesting, and well done scenario. The British probably did as well as they could with the forces at their disposal.Hopefully a submarine lurks nearby to finish off the BB. |

Great report as usual, PP … (you will have enough ships, soon, I think  ) Phil |

Strange I think both sides can claim a Pyrric victory in this one. I would be tempted to replay it with Destroyers detached and see if the Cruiser in the attack makes a difference. |
