Last Thursday, we had to postpone our planned game at the club (SESWC Edinburgh) for various reasons and replace it with something else. We decided to play Cruel Seas instead. Tim had just finished painting some new boats, so it was the perfect opportunity to try them out for the first time. Although we had two games planned, we only managed to play one.

2. The Game.
We split our boats into two teams. David and Mark took the S-38 and acted as a decoy, while my S-100 was to carry out the main torpedo attack. The objective of the mission was to target the convoy, and completely sinking it would secure victory for the Germans.
In the beginning, everything was going as planned, but then we encountered some problems, mainly because of David's boat. First, Mike's boat collided with it and sank, and then it collided with Mark's boat, causing serious damage to our other boat. Our boats were further damaged by new British boats commanded by Alasdair and Michael. As a result, we lost both of our boats. However, this allowed me to launch the torpedoes. The first of them hit their targets but failed to detonate, while the other one exploded and sank the cargo ship. I had to change course and launch more torpedoes, but the Fairmile boats were causing significant damage to my boats with their big guns. Despite this, I managed to launch the torpedoes, but they all missed. Unfortunately, accurate British fire sank our next boat, and the last one was forced to retreat. The game ultimately ended in a draw because half of the cargo didn't reach its destination. It was my first draw this year.
