1:4800 Naval Warfare: History repeating itself - Naval Thunder




Hi all,

Well I almost could not believe it, everytime I play this scenario it ends up being a slugging match and the result (as it should have been) tends to be the defeat of the Germans.

This one did not go that way...

The Germans are sighted heading towards the open Atlantic

Hood leads the RN formation

With Prince of Wales following


Hood starts by firing some accurate shots at Prinz Eugen

Whilst PoW lands some damage on Bismark

Both Germans dastardly target the Hood
Hood quickly takes a lot of damage, and just as she hauls out of the line with crippled engines and a fire...
History repeats itself and her magazine goes up


A shocking result tbh, I can only imagine how horrible it would have been to have seen it in real life!

Thanks for reading!
Peter

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

Needed for Saturday: one opponent. Must be prepared to be used as target practice by the Royal Navy and to speak in a corny German accent!



Going back to my favourite wargaming subject this weekend, naval warfare!
