Welcome Naval Gamers,

Last week we managed to get our long planned WW2 Naval Campaign based in the Med in 1941 underway with a night action. This is the first game in a series as we follow an Italian Convoy from Naples to either Tripoli or the bottom of the sea.

Thanks for listening, message ends.

Regards, Ken

Thoroughly entertaining report Ken as always!

You'll have to print up some miniature 'L' plates for those ships of yours though – how many collisions?!

Cheers,

Nick

Cheers Nick,

It was the same British player both times, the look on the British Admirals face was priceless !

I enjoyed reading the account of this action and the three that followed. This a format that I must try for myself at sometime.

If anyone is interested this first action of Ken's is, ship for ship, a refight of what is known as the Battle of the Duisburg Convoy. So named after the largest ship in the convoy. For a complete description of what happened on the night of 8 November 1941 follow this link
