Photos from Naval Game Pt 1

These are courtsesy of Curt.  The ships are GHQ 1:2400, the Germans are by Sylvain.  I provided the convoy, Royal Navy and Polish ship (one Hunt class DE).  Curt supplied the table, sea mat and fire markers.

HMS Hero on fire (the markers are very effective).  

The Admiral Scheer and Lutzow 

The convoy runs, trailing black smoke while the escorts cover their tails with white chemical smoke.  The Lutzow is in the upper left and the Royal Navy cruisers are marked by the yellow triangle.  The RN cruisers are still only a blip on the Kriegsmarine's Dete sets.

The cavalry has arrived, or at least the cruisers.  We have HMSs Gloucester, Ajax, Arethusa and Euryalus from nose to tail.  Meanwhile, three escorts run for safety.

A longer range shot at the same game point.  I can't recall if that is still the Hero on fire, or another escort.

The same group of cruisers.

Sylvain's model of the Admiral Hiiper.  Very nicely done - I especially like the aircraft identification markings.
