I am working on an adaption of Avalon Hil's Jutland with SPI's Dreadnought to use with miniatures. So far I only have the basics, 1" equals a 1,000 yards and one turn is 10 minutes and just doing battleships, but it was enough to give it a try with the help of Simon, Brad and John.
Four King George V class battleships
captained by Simon and Brad
Four Kaiser class battleships
kaptained by John and myself.
The British using the longer range of their guns
dropped three salvos on the lead German battleship, the Kaiserin.
The "splashes" represent ship's being fired at.
Once all the fire has been plotted,
hits are rolled and totalled
by placing dice recording the hits achieved.
The Germans are coming off worse.
It pays to pair off firing, but also to be able to gang up on ships.
Individual ship charts record hits keeping on table clutter to the minimum.
For a first game it was a success. The Germans took a pounding but kept afloat (but not for much longer). One British ship almost sustained a critical hit.
