We had a lot of fun using S39 Schnellboots to attack a coastal convoy of the English East Coast in WW2. The write up on the game is on my blog at this link

Looks like a lot of fun.

We often find these games more like an adventure than a battle! there is often a lot of strategy and risk taking involved, and yes, its always fun to play!

Thanks Frederick! Incidentally, I have slightly tidied the observation rules and made the quick reference sheet larger so its easier to read! The rules are up on our club website at this link

Nice water effect. One of the best I have seen.

Cheers Rallynow! The sea effect is a nylon sheet (sea grey) from a local department stores haberdashery! It is quite slick (being lining for jackets etc) so I put a normal cloth under it to anchor it. I have to remember not to fold the grey sheet, but to bundle it into a plastic bag so it is suitably crinkly for the next game!!!
