display the model 2-3 times bigger than actual size and the paint jobs may look a bit rough!
The game so far. In this shot you can see the American and german fleets in the background still building up steam. The two Russians fleets
are in the foreground (one is obscured by Admiral Philskys hand), and the Japanese are heading directly for the right
hand Russian fleet.
|
Grand Admiral Daves fleet. This fleet and its commander had a strange attraction to the island ahead and decided to sail straight towards it.
|
The Japanese and Russians getting close. This photo shows the Japanese about to split the Russian fleet in
two!
|
Launch Torpedo boats! Some tiny torpedo boats by Navwar, which are very nice. These were not very effective and
failed to score any hits.
|
Under fire! The Russian under heavy fire from the smaller Japanese cruisers. Note the nice shell
splashes from Trafalgar models (I think).
|
The Russians in trouble. This ship is heading straight towards the rocky coast after suffering a helmsmen hit from the Japanese. Another
ship in the same squadron also crashed in the same rocks, after having their rudder jam from more gunfire! Rocks 2, Russians 0.
|
More Russians trying to run their ships aground. Daves fleet was heading towards the island when the front ship suffered an injured
helmsmen effect. This meant the ship couldn't turn, but they were just able to stop in time.
|
The Germans in trouble! The ship (a Brandenberg class battleship) is veering towards the Russian fleet, after
suffering a damaged rudder and numerous other hits.
|
The target port Another view of the port, some where in South East Asia.
|
Another shot of the German and Russian fleets. Here you can see the lone Russian battleship (unbased) fleeing after losing
one of their friends, with the Germans chasing, and the other Russian fleet coming to the rescue.
|
The final turn. In this picture you can see the German fleet under heavy fire from Daves fleet. In the
background and off to the left is the badly damaged remanants of Admiral Philskys fleet. The American fleet came
through relatively unscathed, and are out of shot in the bottom of the picture.
