Meanwhile, somewhere in the Atlantic.
This little game was played by myself and Stormkahn last Thursday evening.
Having no Catalina, we started the game with the sighting of the Bismarck by a flight of Swordfish.(Well if you have 'em why not flaunt 'em.)
Split into two groups the Swordfish started their run, under fire from the Bismarck's secondary armament.
Bismarck uses its rangefinder to range in on the aircraft.
It misses again just as the Swordfish launches a torpedo.
Three moves later bingo. A hit.
The bad news is no extra damage from A Flight except flooding which is brought under control eventually.
As the Bismarck turns to Starboard, the first wave of Swordfish turn away and the second wave launch their torps, turning the opposite way to split the warships fire.
Whilst the torpedoes are running both flights come under fire from the secondary armaments and take some slight damage.
Another explosion amidships.
Swiftly followed by another near miss astern.
Just enough damage to slow the ship down and allow Force H to come up with it,
and sink it with gunfire the next day.
All in all a very enjoyable evening.
Rob.
