Scenario: Channel Raid
British fleet consisted of 8 BB, 3 BC, 9 PDN, 4 AC, 2 CL, 2 FL, 26 DD, and a second force of 3 CL, 1 FL, 12 DD to the southeast
German fleet consisted of 5 BC, 4 BB, 6 CL, 27 DD
Wind: 15 knots WNW
Sea state 3
5:10PM, 19 June, 1916
The Graf von Spee had the modern battle line, I had the old line, while Kotori took the battlecruisers and escorts. Rich M had the southeast forces, HMSWarspite had the armored cruisers up front, and simjockey had the escorts for the modern battle line.
2 hours, 23 minutes
Debatable Defeat: British 23768/130736 vs German 33194/187236
British: of 69, 2 heavily damaged, 19 lost (Benbow, Indefatigable exploded, Inflexible took a block-shot at the waterline but survived)
German: of 42, 16 lost
That covers the setup and ending from the British perspective. I'll write up a more thorough description of the action, along with some screenshots and my thoughts on the action probably sometime tomorrow. I'd be interested to hear the German perspective, and anything from other British players.
