Just a recap...

Had a great time with IJN vs. RN 5-pt Raid level

UK order of battle included the Ark Royal ( sunk by torpedo/gunfire )
supported by crusiers, destroyers, and 2 subs.

The IJN was well represented with a surface action group centered about
a BB with the luckiest torpedo belt..the Faiery Swordfish, destroyers and
subs had heck of a time with it!

Engagement awared to the IJN on victory points / time limit.

In addition, there was additional time to run the Denmark Strait scenario
where Bismarck took a big pounding!

Looking foward to having VaS gaming again maybe next month.

Japanese force consisted of: Nagato BB, 2 Takao CA, and 2 Kagero DD.
Minor damage was incurred by Nagato, one Takao and 1 Kagero sunk. By the way, aren't all torpedo belts lucky :wink:

This was my first full point fleet engagement and I had a great time. Thanks to Lost Goblin Games for hosting!
