1:4800 Naval Warfare: Battle of the Denmark Straight - Naval Thunder

Hi guys,

Had my first full game of Naval Thunder yesterday. Was a blast!

This is not going to be a full report but here are some bad pics and a brief outline of the action.
HMS Hood and HMS Prince of Wales
Prinz Eugen and Bismarck
Hood taking the first shots of the game as she closes the range
Eugen engages Hood whilst Bismarck shifts her fire to PoW
Meanwhile both British ships pummell Bismarck
Hood and PoW have now closed the range where plunging shouldn't be a problem. Turning their broadsides to the enemy...
...and Hood splatters Prinz Eugen
Hood is suffering from fire from Bismarch and Eugen
But the Germans aren't having it all their own way
First critical hit on Bismarck but she still is dishing out the pain
Hood is suffering but she has not exploded!
An untouched PoW


And that's where we left it. Prinz Eugen was sunk, Bismarck was at around half of her hull points and Hood and Prince of Wales could concentrate all their guns on her without distraction. Hood was a bit battered but still had all of her guns.

1:4800 Naval Warfare: Bismarck and Prinz Eugen

Hi all,

Been painting the ships for the Battle of the Denmark Straight, so here are the Germans!

Swastikas painted over as per 1941
My German Fleet so far combined
Fairly happy with how they have turned out!
