#J201 Channel Run, by Phil Driscoll
Relying on radio intercepts, the Battlecruiser Fleet has left Cromarty expecting to drive off German light forces. Unknown to them, German Scouting Group I has left port to make a sweep of the Channel off of the Long Forties. Note: This is a modified version of the original with extended playing time and a modified PDT. (Revised  03/16/2003)

#J202 Last Cruise of the Emden, by Phil Driscoll
Commanded by Korvettenkapitan Karl von Muller, SMS Emden leaves it's anchorage at Direction Island and steams to battle against Captain John Glossup's HMAS Sidney. Emden is unable to close the range to use its torpedoes and is eventually pounded into submission by the superior armament of the Sidney. (I created this using same class of ships-unable to change name of ships without fudging with the program.)

#J205 Close Blockade, by Phil Driscoll
Pre-War British planning called for a close blockade of Helgoland Bight by two destroyer flotillas and two squadrons of cruisers. Due to the distances involved and the number of destroyers needed to keep two flotillas on constant patrol, the plan was abandoned before the war. This scenario assumes that political considerations overrode the purely naval and covers the opening moves of the High Seas Fleet to drive off the British blockaders.

#J206 Hood Stays With Beatty, by GaryMcClellan
1515 31 May 1916. Historically, the British 3rd Battle Cruiser Squadron had been sent up to Scapa Flow for gunnery practice, and the 5th Battle Squadron was then posted with Beatty's Battlecruisers to make up for the loss. Despite a number of command, control and communication difficulties, the Queen Elizabeth class battleships of the 5th Battle Squadron played a key role in the battle, giving a great deal of needed weight and firepower to Beatty's forces. However, what if Jutland had occured while the British were in their "normal" disposition? This scenario simply posts the 3rd BC Squadron with Beatty, and moves the 5th Battle Squadron up to join the main body of the Grand Fleet.

#J207 Encounter Off Texel Island, by Phil Driscoll
On October 17, 1914 elements of the Harwich Force under Captain Cecil Fox intercept a German force under Korvettenkapitan August Thiele off Texel Island. The German force, composed of TBs from the Ems patrol, are on a mission to mine the Estuary of the Thames. In the ensuing encounter all four German boats are sunk. (4-5 ships per side)

#J208 Lowestoft, by Michael Albion
In the morning hours of 25 Apr, Comm. Tyrwhitt's small detachment of Harwich Force made contact with II Scouting Group, engaged with I Scouting Group in the bombardment of Lowestoft and Yarmouth. What ensued was the near-exact reverse of the situation at Heligoland in 1914. The Germans, under Boedicker, had the opportunity to destroy the CL's and destroyers while enjoying an overwhelming numerical superiority. False torpedo and submarine spottings convinced Boedicker that he'd had enough and prematurely quit the fight after a half an hour ... leaving the opportunity for a marked victory and revenge for the three Cl's lost at Heligoland behind.

#J209 Enemy in Sight, by Phil Driscoll
Masthead lookouts on an Bergen bound convoy reported 'unidentified ships to the east' shortly after midnight. Within minutes HMS Pelican and HMS Petard were raising battle ensigns and leaning into the heavy seas in response to the signal 'Enemy in Sight'. A half-flotilla of DDs under Korvettenkapitän Kolbe was approaching, bent on wiping out the convoy. The only question would be could the two lone DDs hold off the enemy until the covering force arrived and allow the convoy to escape?

#J210 Chance Encounter 1, by Gary McClellan
A Random encounter in the North Sea. The forces start out of contact. (Revised version 11/06/2002.)

#J211 Chance Encounter 2, by Gary McClellan
A Battlecruiser Duel on a foggy spring morning.

#J212 Chance Encounter 3, by Gary McClellan
Another chance encounter of the Grand Fleet and the High Seas Fleet. This battle represents the off chance of contact just as the main body of the Grand Fleet links up with the First Battle Squadron as it comes from it's separate anchorage at Cromarty. Beatty's BC group is nowhere in sight.

#J213 Chance Encounter 4, by Gary McClellan
Another chance encounter of the Grand Fleet and the High Seas Fleet. This battle represents the off chance of contact just as the main body of the Grand fleet links up with the First Battle Squadron as it comes from it's separate anchorage at Cromarty. Beatty's BC group is nowhere in sight. NOTE: This is a modification of Chance Encounter #3: The British are redeployed slightly (but the essential idea is the same) and the Victory Conditions are stiffer for both sides.

#J214 Chance Encounter 5, by Gary McClellan
A Full Fleet battle, the fleets start out of contact.

#J216 Chance Encounter 7, by Gary McClellan
A battle in early 1917- Note Uses Special PDT with CH% radically dropped, and accuracy dropped, and torp range opened to 6500. (Revised version, 02/08/2003.)

#J217 Chance Encounter 8, by Gary McClellan
Two scouting forces bump into one another off the coast of Norway. For fun, I've pulled in a couple of ships that historically were not in theater at this time.

#J218 Chance Encounter 9 - Small Boys Night Out, by Gary McClellan
Small boys only. CL's and TB/DD's, vis 7500 yards.

#J219 Chance Encounter 10 - The Hound and the Hare, by Gary McClellan
Two forces blunder into one another at dawn. The ships start in tightened night-steaming formations.

#J231 The Horn Reefs, by Michael Albion
This scenario assumes the possibility that the British were not hampered by command issues and collisions on the night of April 23d, 1916, and were in position to intercept the High Seas Fleet on the return from the Yarmouth sortie, on the afternoon of the 26th. With the British sitting on the retreat route to the Jade, this would be the decisive fleet engagement of the war.

#J232 Caught Short, by Phil Driscoll
This scenario assumes the actual engage between the BC's occurs earlier than the historical timing of the conflict. Much is taken from Irving's 'Smoke Screen of Jutland' in which he is critical of Beatty's dispositions. This explores the consequences if contact was initiated even an hour sooner than actually occured on May 31st. Note: This requires use of a modified PDT called philbdpdt.pdt. (Revised 03/09/2003)

#J234 Amos Special, by Gary McClellan
A Scenario suggested to me by Al "Famous" Amos. Blame him. Best played with Barry Manilow in the background

#J235 Chasing Mauve, by D.S. Walter
This scenario assumes that just short of the battle of Jutland Scheer had second thoughts about the inclusion of the pre-dreadnoughts into his force and sent Mauve and his six Deutschlands home via Heligoland. Learning of this by wireless intercept, Jellicoe sensed an excellent opportunity to dispose of at least these old capital ships and despatched Arbuthnot with the two cruiser squadrons to chase Mauve down. Likewise, the Harwich force was ordered to sea to intercept the fugitives. On dawn the following morning, just short of Heligoland, the CAs managed to steam up to the German pre-dreadnoughts. Mauve was at bay - would his bigger guns save his old bathtubs from destruction by the faster British CAs? Would Tyrwhitt arrive in time to help Arbuthnot complete the destruction? (Revised version - new OOB, more RN CL's, objective line added.)

#J236 1908, by Gary McClellan
A hypothetical battle, what if the war had broken out in 1908? At this point, the only "New Battleship" that had been commissioned was the Dreadnaught herself, so this is a battle of older designs. While it doesn't have the full OOB of pre-Dreadnaughts, it is a medium sized battle. (This scenario uses a special PDT.)

(See #925.) (Mods to original scenario include -
1. Change to PDT file, reducing hit and CH probability and increasing Torpedo range;
2. substituting KM II Scouting Group for IV Scouting Group;
3. stiffened the victory conditions for a minor victory.

#J244 Tourney 4, by Gary McClellan
Scenario #4 for the NCC Winter Tournament 2002/2003

#J250 Götterdämmerung - Death of the K.M., by Gary McClellan
October 1918: With the Western Front collapsing, it was determined that the KM should make one last sortie, in a death or glory ride. Historically, the sailors revolted in the face of certain death, and in so doing, hastened the collapse of Imperial Germany. This scenario examines the question of what would have happened if the fleet had sortied as planned. Ships that joined after Jutland are represented. However, I did not go and update DD and TB from the main Jutland OOB. Assume that ships with the same name as those lost at Jutland are replacements for the sunken ships. The pdt is likewise changed, to reflect changes in the fleet. The RN accuracy rate is raised, and the CH rate is lowered. Likewise the KM accuracy rate is reduced (to reflect the corrosive nature of the dissent and drop in morale in the KM), and the CH rate is slightly raised (to reflect improvements in RN shell quality).

#J251 Tirpitz Doesn't Jump, by D.S. Walter
With the "Deutschland" class decades of thorough German battleship development culminated in a well-balanced, highly functional "Einheitslinienschiff" (standard battleship). The introduction of the all-big-gun battleship in 1905, in Germany known as "Dreadnoughtsprung" (dreadnought leap), suddenly terminated this line of development. But what if Tirpitz had refused to "jump"? Germany could have built two "Deutschlands" for the price of one dreadnought, and she would have saved the considerable additional expenses for dreadnought-capable shipyards, drydocks, the widening of the Kiel canal. What if Tirpitz had built a complete squadron of Einheitslinienschiffe every year from 1905 to 1915? Then in 1916 a mighty all-dreadnought Grand Fleet would have faced an even more formidable all-pre-dreadnought Hochseeflotte. Will big guns defeat many guns? ... Yes, this is fantasy, but what if? (Uses modified PDT with decreased RN and increased K.M. critical hit percentage. RN OOB is historical; K.M. OOB completely made-up.)

#J252 Encounter off Wangerooge, by D.S. Walter
On a spring morning during the Anglo-German war of 1908, a German patrol stumbles over a British light cruiser squadron that's laying mines off Wangerooge, at the mouth of the Jade. A battle squadron is putting to sea from the Jade Roads to drive the British off -- but they have support too. (Uses Gary McClellan's 1908 OOB and PDT.)

#J253 Battle of the Falklands, by Steve Osmanski
Surprised by the presence of two British battlecruisers, the German East Asian Squadron attempts to flee from the Falkland Islands as HMS Invincible and HMS Inflexible steam in pursuit.

#J254 The Scarborough Raid - Germany's Missed Chance, by Steve Osmanski
In December of 1914, the High Sea Fleet set a trap for the Grand Fleet that succeeded beyond Adm. von Ingenohl's wildest dreams: a single detached squadron of British battleships lay within the reach of the entire High Sea Fleet.

#J255 The Scarborough Raid - England's Missed Chance, by Steve Osmanski
After unknowingly evading the High Sea Fleet, the British Second Battle Squadron and Battlecruiser Force set a trap for the German battlecruisers as they returned from their bombardment of the English coast. However, bad visibility and English clumsiness allowed the Germans to escape.

#J256 Troubridge's Chance, by Steve Osmanski
At the start of the War, British Rear Admiral Troubridge had the chance to intercept the German battlecruiser Goeben but failed to do so feeling that Goeben's 11" guns would destroy his armored cruisers from long range. But what if Troubridge had managed a night action against Goeben?

#J257 A Torpedo in Cromarty, by Gary McClellan
(Hypothetical) On May 30, 1916, as the Second Battle Squadron was passing out of Cromarty Harbor, a German torpedo struck the Ajax. She sunk quickly. However, what may have been worse than the loss of the battleship was the fact that the wreck blocked the harbor, preventing Admiral Jerram from meeting with Admiral Jellicoe. For unknown reasons, London did not inform Jellicoe of this until he had already spent fruitless hours in the North Sea waiting for Jerram. As soon as he was informed, Jellicoe started south as fast as he could to meet up with Beatty, who was searching for the enemy Battlecruisers, which radio intercepts indicated were out and about. The loss of Jerram's ships didn't concern Jellicoe unduly, as the High Seas Fleet was safely in harbor. Or so he thought.

#J258 Battle of the North Sea, by Steve Osmanski
Battle of the North Sea: This is a hypothetical scenario built around the idea that SMS Goeben might have tried to return to Germany rather than stay in the Mediterranean. I think this is rather unlikely, given the status of Goeben's boilers and she would have had to recoal at least twice to make it, but it's an excuse for a full-sized fleet battle in August of 1914. Without some compelling reason, the High Sea Fleet would never have risked a full engagement early in the War. Both sides have some pre-dreadnoughts along, but the Grand Fleet's edge in modern dreadnoughts is as small as it will ever be, so this is Germany's chance to win a real battle. The .pdt file is customized, giving the British somewhat better gunnery, but the Germans still have a great superiority in accuracy. Both side's ships have a tendency to go "BOOM!" The Germans seek to get the Goeben (and Breslau) safely home, but shouldn't miss any chances to smash part of the British fleet. The British want to prevent the Germans from scoring the propaganda victory of Goeben running the blockade, but have to safeguard their slim numerical advantage so they can maintain that blockade.

#J259 The Final Mission, by Steve Osmanski
The Final Mission: This is a "what if" recreation of the actual last sortie of the Imperial German Navy. The Germans sought to find and destroy the Scandanavian convoy, which was expected to be escorted by a division of capital ships. Their intelligence was faulty, and the convoy (escorted by the 2nd BC Squadron) had sailed a day earlier. Historically this mission resulting in nothing but the loss of SMS Moltke's starboard propellor (it just fell off!) and a torpedo hit to her as well, as she limped home. There are actually two "what ifs" in this scenario. The first assumes the Germans had sailed a day earlier, and so made contact with the convoy. The second concerns the British submarine J-6. She sighted the German sortie but failed to report it thinking the ships were British. If she had correctly identified and reported the Germans, the British Battle Cruiser Force would have sailed to reinforce the convoy escort. There are two changes to the historical order of battle. The convoy is simply missing; I couldn't think of a way to put merchant ships in. This is one thing I wish JT would add to the database. Second, the British large light cruisers HMS Courageous and HMS Glorious are also missing, since they're not in the database either. The .pdt file is customized quite a bit, to give the British actual gunnery superiority over the Germans, and the CH chance is just about equal. Note that the British have been practicing their tactics and can now do the 180 turn in column, just like the Germans. The Germans want to sink as much of the convoy escort as possible, but don't dally and don't get drawn too far north, as the British battlecruisers (led by HMS Repulse) are closing in from the west.

#J260 Heligoland Bight 2, by Steve Osmanski
Heligoland Bight 2: The British and Germans conducted a war of mining, minesweeping, and raids against mine warfare forces all through the war. These raids and counter-raids usually involved light forces but often with heavier ships providing cover. This historical action was the largest of these counter-minesweeping raids, with the British battlecruisers and even one squadron of dreadnoughts providing cover. The German battleships that are providing distant cover were actually exiles. SMS Kaiser and SMS Kaiserin were assigned to patrol duty because their crews had protested their bad food and boring duty. Such "mutinous" thoughts had led to their being stuck on patrol in the fogs of the Bight. I'm not sure if SMS Hindenburg and SMS Moltke were also on patrol. One source names them as present, but the other source I have for this battle says they were in Wilhelmshaven. I have placed them on patrol because the Germans need the help. The actual battle devolved into a stern chase in poor visibility that only ended when the Germans finally reached their own minefields and the two battleships came up to help. Between the threat of mines and the salvos from the BBs, the British gave up the chase. The German minesweepers have been represented by torpedo boats that start in a damaged condition (to reduce their speed). They still have all their weapons, which is unrealistic, but it's what we have to work with. The Germans also had a half-flotilla of "Barrier Breaker" ships, which were trawlers stuffed with cork and other floatation materials. The Barrier Breakers were the mine finders: they just sailed forward until they detonated one. The stuff in the holds was supposed to absorb the blast or at least keep the ship afloat long enough for the crew to abandon ship. I couldn't figure out a way to include such vessels, so they are missing. HMS Glorious and HMS Courageous are also AWOL again, replaced by HMS New Zealand and HMS Australia. The .pdt file is again a customization, giving the British better gunnery and lower CH percentages. While historically the Germans sought only to escape, these game Germans have considerable teeth (although slow) and could inflict considerable damage with torpedos and mines if the British lunge forward too enthusiastically. With the lousy visibility, the Germans might run off into the fog, however, if the British try to keep their distance.

#J261 World War One - 1911, by Gary McClellan
The Moroccan Crisis of 1911 was one of the periodic diplomatic crises that historically preceded World War I. This scenario looks at the question "What if Diplomacy Failed?" It posits a clash in the North Sea with forces available in late 1911 (there are a few ships I assumed were completed a bit earlier than historically, consider them to be "rush jobs" because of the race to war). Both fleets have quite odd makeups, with Battleships, Pre-Dreadnoughts, Battlecruisers and Armored Cruisers.

#J262 Jutland - The Whole Day, by Jess Norris
This the Jutland the whole day, with ships starting in harbor at 2200. The scenario lasts for 22 hours. The Jade, Horns Reef, Jutland Bank, Tchershilling, Zeebrugge, Rosyth, Cromarty, Scapa Flow, Blythe, Hull, Harwich, The Naze, and Sheerness are old disabled B's. and marked by a Generic "Port" picture displayed as Channel markers. Some of these "Ports" are in use by the various forces,the rest are included as important markers. Permenant smoke markers are in place to give a rough outline of the North Sea. The North sea itself is laid out like a plotting sheet using the objective lines for Lat and Long. The red Latitude lines run from 52 degrees to 59 degrees North. The black longitude lines from 3 degrees West, to 8 degress East. The one red longitude line is the Prime meridian. TB's that are 60% disabled are deployed as U-Boats with a Generic U-boat picture in place of the TB. They can spot, shoot torpedos lay mines and make smoke. They can't submerge however so will be easy to sink. TB's are also used as Zeppelins with a Generic Zeppelin Picture. All forces are included. Both main fleets plus the Harwich force, the Channel fleet and the Dover patrol for the British and the German TB flots at Zeebrugge and Ostend on the Belgian coast. To make things historical the British should get underway Immediately. The Germans should roll a single die and get underway hours equal to the die roll after the start. Historic mine fields are in place These give the Germans only two clear channels to sea, North past Horns Reef, and West past Tcherschilling so the importance of these two markers should be obvious to both sides. The British player should know which route the German player is taking to sea. Objective points gained as ships cross the Lat & Long lines will have to be subracted to determine victory at the end. (Revised version, 6/9/2004.)

#J267 Almost Home, by Rich Mercer
The Goeben and Breslau have slipped out of Mediterranean and are running for the safty of the Jade estuary. The German Navy has sortied as many light cruisers and torpedo boats as it could muster as a screening force. As the morning mist disperses, a small contingent of Royal Navy ships are closing from the west. (See news clipping 22 March 1917 - PDF file)

#J271 With the Battle Cruisers (The Clash at Dogger Bank), by Jess Norris
This is the battle of Dogger Bank taken from the Naval classic "With the Battle Cruisers" by Filson Young. The scenario starts at dawn, Just before Beatty's Battlecruiser force is to rendezvous with the Harwich force. Thus Beatty is steaming South while the Harwich force is steaming North. Contact by the opposing sides has not been made. Hipper's is steering N/W, his mission this day was to look for light craft at Dogger Bank, So he would not turn for home unless contact with British heavy ships was established.

#J272 Frost's Jutland, by Jess Norris
Holloway Frost, Commander USN, in his book on Jutland gives the exact formation, course speed and distance to each other of all the Ships involved in the battle at 2:15PM. The time is slightly before the first contacts were made. The British Battle Cruiser force is about to execute a course change that would send it back toward the Battle fleet. (Revised 8/11/2004)

#J273 Coronel, by Max Rudoi
Rear Admiral Sir Christopher Cradock was given the task of finding the squadron of Graf von Spee which he did off the shores of Chile thanks to picking up radio transmissions between Leipzig and one of her colliers. Cradock had the opportunity of turning towards Canopus 300 miles to the south. There was not sufficient light time for Spee to catch him that day but that risked the losing Spee during the night. Having inferrior forces to these of the Germans both outnumbered and with most of his ships manned by poorly trained reservists Cradock turned towards the German line ...

#J274 Coronel - Alternative I, by Max Rudoi
Admiral Cradock did his best to keep his forces concentrated. Still when Admiral Spee's ships came into sight the early morningof November 2nd his old battleship Canopus appeared to fall a little behind off the main force during the night and now was steaming at full speed to catch up. This was quite an opportunity for Admiral von Spee who just sighted the British cruisers but haven't seen Canopus with them.

#J275 Coronel - Alternative II, by Max Rudoi
Admiral Cradock got reinforcement of HMS Defence just in time to set for search for the squadron of Graf von Spee off the Chilean coast. When the both admirals sighted one another they rushed into the battle knowing there was not much lighttime left for the decisive outcome.

#J276 For Want of a Nail, by Al Amos
1500 hours 3 April 1916. - Hypothetical - While travelling with the 1st Division, 2nd Battle Squadron, Battle Fleet, Grand Fleet accompanied by the 4th Detroyer Flotilla from Scapa Flow to the Thames Estuary, the BB KGV suffers an engine breakdown. Not wishing to have 4 battleships exposed to a possible submarine attack, the squadron commander transfers his flag to the BB Ajax, and after detaching the DD Broke to protect the BB KGV from submarine attack while repairs are made, he procedes on his way. Just as the force is nearly out of sight the KGV sights smoke from the NE. This could only signal a German force is in the neighborhood. As it happens the 1. Scouting Group is steaming upon the scene. Will they be able to claim a juicy prize, or will the British ships be able to return in time to rescue their stricken sister.

#J279 Blockade at Scapa Flow, by Pat Covich
The fleet stationed at Scapa Flow is sailing out of the harbor. Durning the night the High Seas Fleet blockaded the entrance at Scapa Flow. The Royal Navy must brake through the Blockade, every ship that crosses the objective line has broken through the blockade. Be carefule. there could be a couple of U-Boats out there, and maybe some mines. there are 6 ships marking the shallow waters of the channel ( 3 on each side), also a line of mines on each side of the Grand Fleet, these are for damageing ships running aground - So keep a look out for the 'M' ships (M is for marker).

Early in the war a German coastal raiding force meets the Humber Patrol.

#J282 Final Battle, by Jess Norris
This is another varient on the final battle in 1918 theme. The Grand Fleet OOB is updated to include the American 6th Battle Sq. The Harwich force and the Channel fleet are also included. The scenario assumes that Germany was able to finish all those capital ships under construction since 1915. Hence the addition of two more Bayerns and all four of the Mackensen BC class, represented here as Hindenburgs. The German Sortie is timed of support the last great German land offensive of the war. The High Seas Fleet will interdict the English channel to stop all supply traffic, and blast the enormous supply dumps at the French ports. The Germans have finally learned radio silence so British Intell is late in arriving. The entire Grand fleet is based at Rosyth now. A restricted and difficult harbor to leave. Thus the Fleet is a little strung out as they race to intercept. While the Channel Fleet boldly advances to meet overwhelming odds. The red German objective lines represent how far the Germans penatrate into the English Channel, The black lines are meant to represent land.
(Note: This scenario requires two additional downloads to show the American ships properly. FB_Large.zip should be extracted into Jutland\Large and FB_Ships.zip into Jutland\Ships.)

#J283 Jutland after Dark, by Jess Norris
This is Jutland from 2000 to 0045. The Germans are trying to escape southward while the British try to close with them once more. Visibility throughout the night will decerase slowly. Damage to ships and reduced speeds are historical where I could find the data. Otherwise it is estimated by the number of hits taken. Many of the ships have expended their torpedos. Alas ships will not continue to sink.So the RN must find Lutzow and sink her, or she will stay afloat, was will the Warrior, and other disabled ships scattered about. The German objective line to the South represents escape into the cleared channels through British laid minefields. Although in reality this was much farther South. My reference for the ships positions at this time is again that excellent book by Commander Frost. Data on the damage and hits is from the equally excellent book by John Campbell.

#J284 K.M. Gone Fishing, by Pat Covich
The first in the series I call Gone Fishing, all of which dealing in training (one for the RN and one for the KM). This one deals with escort and attack: A battle had taken somewhere on the North Sea, all parties are heading for home for refit and repairs. The II Scout and IV Scout Group with Torpedoboat escort, stumble across a fleet of battle damaged Royal Navy ships. Can the TB force finish the job its fleet started, or can the battle damaged fleet fight them off?

#J285 RN Gone Fishing, by Pat Covich
The first in the series I call Gone Fishing, all of which dealing in training (one for the RN and one for the KM). This one deals with escort and attack: A battle had taken somewhere on the North Sea, all parties are heading for home for refit and repairs. The Grand FLeet has sent a 'Hunter Killer' force out to intercept and destroy a fleet of damaged Greman ships. Can the this 'Hunter Killer' force finish the job its fleet started, or can the battle damaged fleet fight them off?

#J286 Sink the Goeben (late), by Phil Driscoll
Winston Churchill has ordered the Meditterranean Fleet to 'Sink the Goeben'. To that end Admiral Milne has taken the entire fleet to accomplish that mission. It should be more than enough to do the job. Contact is made late in the day. Is it enough time for the RN to finish the Goeben off?

#J287 Sink the Goeben (dawn), by Phil Driscoll
Winston Churchill has ordered the Meditterranean Fleet to 'Sink the Goeben'. To that end Admiral Milne has taken the entire fleet to accomplish that mission. It should be more than enough to do the job. Contact is made at sunrise. Will the Goeben be able to make it through the day?

#J288 Cape Sarich, by Mark Kindrachuk
Units of the Black Sea Fleet returning from a bombardment of Trebizond are intercepted by Goeben and Breslau off Cape Sarich in the Crimea. Both sides are anxious to engage, though hampered by fog. "At last the long-desired opportunity to measure strength with the enemy seemed to have arrived." Notes: (1) scenario uses a "damaged" Zhemchug-class CL to approximate the Almaz; (2) torpedo range is reduced in an effort to discourage suicidal Russian TB attacks; (3) the author apologizes for his inability to get the text editor to display Turkish characters correctly.

#J289 Rheinübung 1917, by Pat Covich
Following the success achieved by the surface ships in the Atlantic during the winter of 1940-1941, the German Naval High Command decided to launch a much more ambitious operation. The idea was to send a powerful battle group comprised of the battleships Bismarck, Tirpitz, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau into the Atlantic to attack Allied merchant shipping. This of corse never happened. In this hypothical battle the OKM desided to take this course of action. Can the Merchant shipping be halted in supplying England? Or can the merchant shipping continue on? (Revised 08/01/05)

#J290 Rheinübung 1918, by Pat Covich
Following the success achieved by the surface ships in the Atlantic during the winter of 1940-1941, the German Naval High Command decided to launch a much more ambitious operation. The idea was to send a powerful battle group comprised of the battleships Bismarck, Tirpitz, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau into the Atlantic to attack Allied merchant shipping. This of corse never happened. In this hypothical battle the OKM desided to take this course of action. Can the Merchant shipping be halted in supplying England? Or can the merchant shipping continue on? This time the US is escorting the convoy. (Revised 08/01/05)

#J292 The Tide of War, by Pat Covich
In this hypothetical scenario, the war is going badly for England. German troops have occupied most of southern England, and are now only 30 Kilometers from London. The United States is sending troops, munitions, and other much needed supplies in a fast convoy, to aid England in this hour of need. This convoy is being escorted by American warships, some of which are pre-dreadnought. Can the Kaiserliche Marine destroy this convoy, or can it reach England and turn the Tide of War once again?

#J332 Baltic1923, by Giuseppe Bianchi
In 1923 recently independent Finland came to grips with U.S.S.R. about the possession of the Hango peninsula and of the
small islands at the mouth of the Gulf of Finland. Russians sent out the few ships of the Baltic Fleet which were serviceable,
to pound the Finnish defences in prevision of the landing of an expeditionary force; Finnish Navy was then very weak, so the government called for help from Sweden; the latter country then sent the best units of her fleet to support the Finns. So unexpecting Russians found themselves faced not only by the three finnish TBs, but also by the small but effective Swede Squadron.

#J333 Apple Strudel, by Pat Covich

J334 Rosengarten, by Pat Covich
 The area of ocean between Iceland and Norway was strewn with drifting mines. This was named the Rosengarten (Rose Garden) by the Germans, because at any time a mine would bloom like a rose without much warning. This is the area were the OKM ordered the fleet to make it's way into the Atlantic. Note: Bismarck and Tirpitz were the only two new Schlachsciffes (Battleships) to be built and of these only the Bismarck actually saw naval battle. The Class J and Class H (Hindenburg)
were never built, being canceled in 1940. The objective line is the open Atlantic which is the main objective of the KM, to get
into the open sea . Number of players: 2-4.  (2006 pdt)

#J336 Gulf of Finland 1923 by Giuseppe Bianchi
This scenario is basically set in the same hipotetical historical background of "Baltic 1923" but the action instead of in open
waters happens in the western part of the Gulf of Finland, in the area having Hango Peninsula in the middle. The coastline and the islands of this area are outlined with permanent smoke puffs, and underneath the smoke are set mines, so that players are really disincentivated from running aground! The Soviet Baltic Fleet has left its bases to attack Finnish coastal defences at Hango, and they expect only token resistence from the tiny Finnish Navy. But a well trained Swedish Squadron is coming in support of the Finns, and Russian may have a harsh surprise.

J350 Malta 1915, by Giuseppe Bianchi
Mediterranean "what if Italy joined with the Central Empires" series - After Italy joined the Central Empires, the KuK Marine
was swiftly despatched to the Aegean, to face the british Mediterranean Fleet, turn down the expedition of Gallipoli and join the KM Mediterranean Division (Goeben and Breslau) now serving under Ottoman flag. Meanwhile the Regia Marina was sent to attack the british base of Malta. The Royal Navy, busy in Eastern Mediterranean and in the North Sea, had in the area a fast task group with the BB Queen Elisabeth, the BC Inflexible (both coming back from the Dardanelles area) a CL Division and a DD division; this force would be overwelmed by the Italian Navy, had not it been reinforced. So the British asked the French for support, and a strong Marine Nationale force steamed towards Malta. A big encounter may then be preparing. ( no about turn, only KM developed it)
