I was planning to pre-order at the LGS anyway and after last nights "Battle of the River Plate" it is a definite thumbs up.
The article in S&P 29 lacks a few things in the rules, but with a bit of common sense, it's quite enjoyable.
My friend (who played the Britsh) got away rather nicely because I forgot my main guns have two DD per hit. He might disagree though, as the first four hits of the game (all on exeter) all turned out to be criticals :wink:
