Torpedoes and Tides - Making a Beginning Twice

The first game of the Making a Beginning scenario pitted Simon in command of the returning S-Boots against Stephen with three MGB out for revenge.

The S-Boots spot the Britishers and make a sharp turn to starboard.

Unfortunately, this means the S-Boots are silhouetted by the moon

and one is immediately sunk.

The remaining S-Boot is hit and set on fire but did manage to get in at least one shot.

However, the S-Boot couldn't survive the combined fire power of the three MGBs.

For the second game we repeated the scenario, but Simon took over the MGBs and I commanded the S-Boots.

The S-Boots make a dash for home.

They are making good progress.

But the MGBs are closing in.

The S-Boots engage the leading MGB.

But the MGBs close in and smother one of the S-Boots in well aimed shots, causing it to sink.

The MGBs score hits on the remaining S-Boot as it flees to safety.

Another excellent game.  It's time to start thinking of a campaign (which is provided by the rules).
