Third play through of the Making a Beginning scenario, but with enhanced playing pieces. Mark B again commanded the British flotilla.
The two German S-Boots are heading home after an incursion into British home waters
when they are intercepted by three British MGBs.
Action commences immediately with the lead German boat taking two hits
and one of the British boats receiving a single hit.
The lead German boat takes more hits and wisely decides to flee.
The remaining German boat tries to hold off the enemy so its compatriot can make good its escape.
The fighting is intense with the already damaged British boat taking another hit,
but the German boat now also has two hits and is also supressed (the white marker)
The British boats need to turn to pursue the Germans.
But the now battered German boat is caught.
And sunk.
Very happy with the visuals. A quick, exciting game that was over in 45 minutes of play time. Next task is to perfect the QRS and move on to trying a different scenario. I'm also tempted to get a few more boats and I am checking where James has sourced his 1/700th models from.
The author of the rules has an excellent blog: The Raft – Wargaming Adventures
Skytrex used to manufacture and sell the various vessels in that scale from memory.
ReplyDeleteThanks. The Cruel Seas models look good, but at 1/300th not going to work for me. But they would certainly work with TnT and a good size table.
DeleteIt looks very cool! Happy you had fun. I have three more scenarios and other stuff on the blog. Looking forward to reading about your next game!
ReplyDeleteIt provided an effortlessly enjoyable game which such an amazing scope for future games. I am looking forward to playing some more.
