Proudpole at Coronel, 1914

It's 1914 and Admiral Sir James Proudpole and the South Atlantic Squadron have tracked a German Commerce raiding squadron around Cape Horn.  

Game 2

Around the Cape

The British and German Cruiser Squadrons clash.

The Germans at full steam ahead

And the RN almost ready for a fight.

The German heavy cruisers turn and salvo.

The RN reply is not so accurate

Although Cressy gets a hit.

With the range coming down the German fire loses some of its  accuracy

Range still decreasing

The RN fire is still poor.  That AMC should not really be joining in.

But the RN gets the range

As do the Kriegsmarine

The German light cruisers swing past, and try torpeodes

And the next German salvo is devastating.

Black Prince slews out of line, sinking.  Cressy has lost all of her turrets.  Its pretty much done.

The British light cruisers flee.  We will need a couple of Battle cruisersvto deal with these Germans.  
Fortunately...
Next game the Falklands 1914
