I had Henry and Colin over to play Cruel Seas today. As we had plenty of time I wanted to try out a mini campaign with two linked scenarios for a S-boat raid on a British coastal convoy. The first scenario would be the actual attack on the convoy by 4 x S-boats, the second would see the S-boats fighting their way past ambushing Fairmiles on their way home.

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Of course the Merchies are scratched.  How gentle do you think the average dock worker is?  ;D

Ians54, the merchants are mdf models I picked up on ebay.

Last Hussar came around tonight and I introduced him to Cruel Seas.

We started off with the first scenario from the book as a learning exercise. Then we played a S-boat attack on a British convoy, 3 S-boats vs 2 Merchantmen and 2 armed trawlers.
