Nice report and I like the atmospheric screens.

Ghost ships I tells ya!

Well, I suppose a raider's a good result, but I was hoping the fleet was out.

Let's hope they see a big blob of smoke...

The HSF remains elusive...

I'd wondered about the German breakout and whether there was any scope in the campaign for supporting commerce rading on the western approaches if a German player got some ships out of the North Sea? How could you keep raiders coaled and victualled out there? Could the campaign simulate this?

Nice AAR Bullethead - but where are the screens man?

Great shots and AAR!

Now it's only a matter of time. My ACs, CLs and DDs are breaking up DD attacks and sinking German light forces with relative ease, almost without loss in the more matched battle, but I throw two more DD groups at the German BCs in one-two torpedo runs, hoping to do some serious damage, but...

Here's a brief AAR with images from the Third Battle Squadron scenario. I played as British and as the scenario starts, my old BBs are in line, heading north off the east coast of the UK. Elements of the Harwich Force (DDs and CLs) are off the west coast of Germany, also heading north...

Great AAR. I'm putting up an AAR of the 3rd Battle Squadron scenario myself - it really is a testament to the resilience of the German battlecruisers (and their speed) that that can take a lot of punishment compared to the British ships. Did you have fragile AP on for the Bri ships?

Interesting about the DD's behaviour and the minefields. Mine the known safe channels?

Steven, interesting update and cool Zeppilin picture! Interesting idea about the unescorted Battle squadron. What if it draws HSF rather than subs? Will you have time for a response? How the game treat Room 40 info in terms of timing for things like info on the German fleet coming out? Would you...

This is interesting stuff. Is the loss of the Pluton a big deal (I haven't started a campaign so have no idea how many sweepers the Brits have)? With support forces close there could have been a good destroyer fight. Do you aim to schedule regular sweeps with the Battle Fleet and BC fleet and...

Good work. Even though I always play Brit, I'd like to kill Beatty myself...
