My First Game of Cruel Seas

I played my first game of Cruel Seas last evening at the club . given my history with some of the Warlord rules I very pleasantly surprised at how well the rules played for WWII Naval. In years past, I had the pleasure of playing a few naval games att SESWC run by Angus Konstam, Naval expert and author of several books (many of which can be found HERE). It is many years since I left SESWC and many a year since I have played a Naval game. 

The miniatures and scenario were supplied by Jim. The scenario was "Convoy".

I was given the choice of playing the Brits or the Germans. Naturally, given my Grandad's service during WWII as an engineer in HMS Javelin, it would  have have to be the Brits. I'm going to leave you with the pictures for now and come back to write it up as I'm knackered and will not do the game justice!
