ideas on how to design a mission around a major surface engagement

Hi!

One of the GWX Missions, "Convoy JW55B", depicts a historically-based hypothetical surface engagement between a German squadron consisting of Scharnhorst and 5 destroyers, and a convoy with an ASW screen, a close covering group of heavy cruisers, and a distant covering force with the battleship Duke of York.

The Scharnhorst just missed intercepting the convoy in real life, but the scenario assumes that they engaged.

There are a lot of ships in action so your game may run a bit slow.

Hope this helps!
