Atlantic Fleet Battles / War Summary of all Vessels

RJBub1 · 12-23-15, 02:02 PM

One month after Z1 sank, Bismarck, Tirpitz, and Heavy Cruiser Blucher encounter 3 ships en route to escort convoy PQ-1.
The British ships first spotted the Germans 30 minutes earlier, and, under the cover of smoke screens, went in to investigate. Lutjens gives the order to fire.
Immediately the ASW Corvette Acanthus is hit by two 15inch shells that over penetrate and go right through the ship.
The escorts retreat to the west, at about 35 knots. Lutjens fires another salvo, which hit Acanthus, blew her up, and sank her in 30 seconds.
The Battleships Gneisenau, Scharnhorst and a heavy cruiser are about 20 miles away. The remaining escorts are not seen for 15 days.

Very cool.

Wow. Thanks, it means a lot to have a compliment from you!
I think I'll keep going on with this..
But I played a bit more, and soon after I lost even though I still had maybe 6/20 bars..
So a new Battle for the Atlantic maybe?

Edit: On second thought, I'll do this tommorow.
I've had a fairly long day.

Hey guys. My holiday break ended on Monday, and school sure did come back with a bang! Quite a lot of homework plus a non functional PC that still has not been sent to be fixed yet.
I will be beginning a new campaign, new everything.
My game ended in 1943. I played for maybe half an hour, got the H class(Es) and and maybe 10 minutes after that I took my Bismarks class of ships (yes two) against a fight with a number of battleships, I think like 2 KGVs. And I really damaged them, but I eventually decided to scuttle both, as most of my ships had lost a lot of systems and both had their superstructure a destroyed.
Then I lost the war..,
I'll have to win this time!
