The Bismark

The_Blockade_Runner · 05-31-06, 04:08 PM

Ive read in another forum that there are 'set surface' engagements in the game. And that one of them is between the Bismark and british dd's and BB's IN 1941. Is this true? :hmm:

And if so, have any of you engaged in this battle before?

Take a look at the Sticky on U-Boat Stories. There you'll find my one about Operation Rheinubung...

1) Go to 'Single Missions'. You'll find it there.

2) Use any one of Rubini's later 'Harbour Traffic' mods, including the latest one, which is exclusive to Grey Wolves. He has included the Norway Invasion and Bismarck operations.

But you have to be in the right place at the right time. Use the Mission Editor to look at the SCR map.

The action takes place NE of grid BE53 May 30 1941 Hit the Rodney with 3 fish in heavy fog and she went down. the kg could'nt find her and also took out 1 of the Cruisers then lost contact with all ships.

Just a small item. Correct spelling is Bismarck.

Pretty cool to be from a State that had a Battleship named after the State Capital. And not after the state name.:rotfl:

I'm afraid you've got your Bismarcks messed up.

That was meant to be a funny, ha ha. I do know my history. Forty years worth.

After all I've been to two county fairs and a rodeo.
