Task Force G separates as per Harwoodâs battle orders while Graf Spee increases speed to engage turning to Port to bring her broadside to bear
As the opposing forces close to firing range the Graf turns 180 degrees to engage the stronger Exeter
British won initiative again!
Exeter finally scores hits on Graf Spee causing light damage and straddling her.

Graf Spee is hit again by Exeter. Taking on water and firepower diminished Langsdorff makes smoke and turns away from Exeter
Exeter moves through the smoke screen to again fire on Graf Spee. This time the salvo is devastating and finishes the Graf Spee as she sinks beneath the waves.
My thoughts on the game & rules. I really like the rules. Some nice simple mechanisms, fast play. I could easily see us playing some large engagements with these rules. A couple of sections could do with a rewrite to make it clearer but I think we played the game correctly
Unfortunately for Langsdorff the Germans i.e. me rolled terribly. Once engaged I only won initiative once and couldnât hit a thing. Also rolled badly when hit so took some nasty critical hits which severely reduced Graf Speeâs effectiveness.
We definitely need to play again as the poor dice rolling did make it harder to judge the balance. We will make one scenario modification allowing Graf Spee to fire at extreme range to better reflect historical events where the Graf Spee significantly out ranged the British ships
