Fish in the water!

 

For this Sunday's Solo game I used Nimitz rules to adjudicate some destroyer action in the Indian Ocean. Spring 1942, and the British Royal Navy is facing significant challenges during the IJN's Indian Ocean raid (Operation C), March 31 to April 10, 1942, as Japanese forces aim to destroy the British Eastern Fleet...

The Japanese enjoyed some numerical superiority: 8 DD for 24 points:

The British had 6 DD at 22 points:

As the night fell with tropical speed, the IJN were at an advantage in terms of gunnery - the surviving British DDs threw their helms over and RTB to replen torpedoes (and pink gins!)
