Haha I didnt even notice the miss spelling of the Prince of Wales (Im from Canada not England hahaha I dont know their provinces) I just spelt it as I would a whale haha but thanks for noticing.
Yes clearly this would have changed things in history, The Suffolk and Norfolk would probably have continued to track it and maybe avoided some painful convoy battles by radioing its position but either way what a mess this would have caused!!! Which carrier would have flown off aircraft to Malta in its time of need??? That would have been the 3rd RN carrier sunk since 1939(correct me if im wrong...HMS Courageous, and Glourious before it) The Prince of Wales would have not have gone to the Indian ocean with the Repulse (eventhough they were both sunk by that japanese anyways.) The RN would have had to rely on its WW1 vintage BB's and the Nelson class's to get everything done, since the KGV was the only ship in the King George V class ready....Duke of York(November 41), Anson and Howe were only comissioned in 1942!!! Maybe the Germans would have also sortied the Tirpitz since most of the RN's most powerful ships would have been out of commision....
I enjoy playing this game and thinking wow if this really happend...what would the war have been like!!
Hope you enjoyed the pics....they seem small I wonder if I should resize?
