Enemy in sight. Task Force G sights the Pocket Battleship Admiral Graf Spee
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 win initiative) Exeter opens fire but misses.
Graf Spee returns serve straddling Exeter (this applies a -ve mod to shooting)
The British cruisers close to medium range.
British have initiative as Exeter again straddles Graf Spee
Graf Spee comes under fire from Ajax and returns fire with secondary battery straddling her
Exeter fires her starboard torpedoes at Graf Spee but misses
Graf Spee moves to engage Exeter Achilles and Ajax cannot engage because Exeter blocks LOS
British won initiative again!

Graf Spee fires port torpedoes and very narrowly misses
Graf Spee is hit again by Exeter. Taking on water and firepower diminished Langsdorff makes smoke and turns away from Exeter
Graf Spee continues to make smoke and makes evasive manoeuvres. Things are not looking good for her
Ajax fires her port torpedoes but misses
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
