Title: Cruel Seas at Tring (plus a bit of Chain of Command and 40K)
Post by: sunjester on 01 June 2019, 01:45:24 PM
A chance to try our my house rules for Cruel Seas at club this week. A German convoy commanded by Mark, escorted by 3 little Kriegfischkutters, is jumped by two groups of British MTBs (Henry and myself). Help is at hand for the convoy, a Type 24 torpedo boat is steaming up and, as they are close to shore, there is a possibility for air support turning up....

Nice report and pics, thanks. Yet another set of rules that I need to resist jumping into and now that I understand there were a few US PT boats in that theater, even harder to ignore.

Thank you chaps.

d_Guy - Go for it, you know you want to. There were PT Boats in the Channel during and after D-day and they saw more action in the Mediterranean. Or else buy a starter set, sell off the plastic Vospers and S Boats and pick up the US and Japanese fleet packs!  ;)
