With the Kongo close to sinking and one destroyer about to go under the Japanese are done. The only consolation was the New Mexico definitely needing to go into dry dock 😃
Japanese desperate attack on the Essex. Failed
Furutaka sunk by multiple torpedo hits
Looking grim for the Zuikaku
Banzai!
Yahagi goes under the waves 😪
Waves of US aircraft swarm the Zuikako. Zeros scramble.
Fleets closing
Pacific naval today
Outstanding service again. Today, another order arrived from #Navwar in the UK to the shipyards in New Zealand. Three weeks from posting my snail mail order to it’s arrival. This order has a modern naval theme…
After months I have at last completed my Royal Navy destroyer collection for Snorkers(Good Oh!) from In Which They Served Games. 1/1800 scale 3d prints on clear bases. Only a few ships left to paint and then I am really not adding anymore. #wargames #snorkersgoodoh #shedowar #wargamers #shedowar
Due to a case of mistaken identity, the Italian boat comes under a full barrage of fire from the Ju 88. Tough luck for the Italians in this scenario playtest for the upcoming Torpedoes and Tides scenario book. #navalwargaming #torpedoesandtides
Played Port Arthur yesterday. It so happened that there was an epic Battle of Tsushima, but the result was very different from the historical one - the Japanese got a thorough trouncing, and when the flagship Mikasa vanished beneath the waves, they abandoned the invasion of Manchuria #navalwargaming
A few WIPs! Quick and easy sand banks for #CruelSeas and many British Airborne Jeeps and their occupants for #ChainofCommand , #IABSM and #Crossfire. They've been in the cupboard for a while so very pleased to get started on them! #SpreadTheLard #Wargaming #WW2 #NavalWargaming
The Americans call off the action, and head for home - the schooners having sunk one of the four bateaux (one ton of supplies lost for the British). A slight win for the Continentals, but their shooting dice let them down when closing on the bateaux #SpreadTheLard #GreatLakes #TheFullNelson
The USS Pert and the USS Lady of the Lake close on the damaged bateaux, but their shooting is terrible and they inflict no further damage to is turn #SpreadTheLard #GreatLakes #TheFullNelson
HMS Earl of Moira tries to luff up with the wind to catch the American corvetttes #SpreadTheLard #GreatLakes #TheFullNelson
And finally the HMS Prince Regent tries to close the range to chase off the American schooners, which are surrounding and battering the bateaux #SpreadTheLard #GreatLakes #TheFullNelson
The USS Lady of the Lake opens fire on the bateaux , but misses. The USS Madison moves away from the HMS Earl of Moira and reloads. New page for the mapping 🖊️ #SpreadTheLard #GreatLakes #TheFullNelson
The USS Lady of the Lake opens fire with her single gun, a bow-chaser, on the bateaux in an attempt to slow or stop them. Meanwhile USS Madison twists and turns to place Earl of Moira in its firing arcs. #SpreadTheLard #GreatLakes #TheFullNelson #AnalogueMaps
We’ve had a few discussions at the club recently on using AI for recording games. So here’s tonight’s experiment - first, analogue recording of the game events … #SpreadTheLard #TheFullNelson
The British close on the Americans as the Bateux run for Kingston. All ships operating on formation cards so far. #SpreadTheLard #TheFullNelson
