The British 1st and 4th Battle Squadrons, providing distant cover for a Kattegat operation, are engaged by the newer German dreadnoughts steaming north from the Jade (Battle Squadron III and Scouting Group I). link

Congrats for actually putting the light forces on the table. I have always been of the opinion that playing a WW1 squadron/fleet action without DDs and CLs is like playing chess without the knights, bishops and pawns. Also noted with interest your movement trays. Could you expound upon how you employ them? What happens when you want to maneuver your division? B |

B, Each ship has a rare earth magnet in the base. At the bottom of the photo above you can see one as a small circle to the left of the 'Neptune' label. The trays are steel, so the ship bases stick on, and can be rotated to show line abreast or quarter line formations. If a ship drops out of formation we just slide it off and move it separately. The magnets also serve as attachment points for the damage markers. These are cotton glued to small nails. See photos below:
