Jutland campaign AAR

Oh man, the RN is a bunch of pussies.
I managed to cut off a couple of CLs and obliterate them, but the rest of the RN turned tail and ran.

Being a pussy allows the RN to win the war.

That's what makes them gay.  Go Kaiser.

The Germans never stood a chance.  The disparity in numbers was too great, and the British ships were of higher quality.

Which is why I'm going to take a different strategy with Germany in the 1916 campaign game.

Is sitting in Kiel harbor a viable strategy?

I'll be interested to see your plan.

Honestly, the only alternative I see is--while continuing to convoy raid--is to sortie, sortie, and sortie some more until the Brit comes out of his cave;  but to sortie with multiple task forces, and simply try to catch the Brit when he's understrength, and wind up attriting him while dodging the big mothers.

Well, you could net some cruisers, and maybe even battlecruisers like that, but unless your opponent is foolish enough to split the Grand Fleet, you'll have a hard time reducing the battlefleet disparity.  Also, the ship-to-ship superiority of the Brits, I'd be wary of splitting up the High Seas Fleet.

Still, let me know how it works out.

Years ago I had the Avalon Hill Jutland board game. You'd move the ships using the course change/heading tools the game came with, use range finders, etc. That was fun, though a bit cumbersome to play with battle lines stretched across the floor/table. I can see how this game computerized would be fun stuff.

Me and my dad always used to play that.  We taped off a big section of the basement floor for our legendary battles.

I'm usually not a pussy when it comes to DRM, but when whether or not the game runs depends on a pygmy sized company's webserver being online all the time, then please count me out.
