A Tale of Daring Do


I haven't played any naval wargames for quite a while now, so I thought I'd dig out Naval Command and write up another 'What If?' scenario for the Indonesian Confrontation. In my earlier mini-campaign I didn't get to deploy the two RAN Daring class DD's that I had based and painted up, or the Sverdlov class CCG, KRI Irian, that was the flagship of the Indonesian navy at the time. The new scenario that I'm thinking of will feature both, with a night action in rough weather being the probable setting, potentially giving the crack RAN destroyers a bit more of a chance to make a successful strike on the cruiser, which will not be fully operational due to poor maintenance and lack of crew training. I just need to work out the data for the destroyers and sketch out the scenario, then I'm good to go!

  1. Looking forward to it. And I think we need some RM Commandos conducting a shore raid to knock out a radar, or capture an enemy SIGINT team, or to seize an observation post!

  2. I have been following your posts with great interest Jim. Do you use any particular mods to the rules playing solo?
    Cheers
