Well, this campin is going somewhat better than the last when the Germans didn't show at all.
I'm certainly rounding up the merchants with no trouble, even capturing one with a TB for heavens sake.
Anyway I sent the AC's Donegal, Hamshire, and Lancaster out to see if I could bag some of the HSF small combatants, I knew I had the advantage as in an earlier battle I'd sunk 2 CL's, and 6 DD's with a sinngle AMC.
I ran in to the HSF's scouting forces NNW of Amsterdam, and immediatly opened up on the cruisers, as expected my 6 inch guns reduced them to wrecks quickly, the DD's rushed in to attack only to be smashed to pieces as well.
Prior to the battle spawning I noted the the HSF BB's were out, and knew once the battle started that they would be after me.
I hung around too long, soon Donegal was taking heavy and accurate fire, then the Germans appeared I reversed course, with the remnants of the scouting forces after me, Donegal's speed was cut so I cut her loos at this stage Lancaster was also being hit by heavy rounds and her speed was falling.
Hampshire was the only ship to escape, but 39 enemy ships are on the bottom.
I deployed the entire BC fleet and headed towards the battle and at the moment they are engaed with light scouting forces.
I have also had succes with torpedoes for the first time, sinking a CL from a hit in the stern, seeing that they do actually manage to hit the target was great.
