A back to back naval wargaming night at the club with Find, Fix and Strike deploy ed for the Battle of the River Plate, followed by Nimitz for the Battle of the Denmark Strait. Two different sets of rules but both fast play and giving a good game with a historical outcome, more or less. The Graf Spee was finished off by a salvo of torpedoes fired by HMS Exeter, while HMS Hood was sunk by the combined fire of Bismarck and Prinz Eugen. Good fun!
Jim, if you are running anything using Nimitz at the club, please let me know! Thanks John Dennis
ReplyDeleteWill do. Geoff and I were talking about some more games and potentially a small campaign, possibly the Norwegian Campaign or a French - Italian 'what if?' c1938.
DeleteFast play, good game and semi historical outcomes what's not to love? Which set did you prefer?
ReplyDeleteI'd have to say FF&S because I'm more familiar with it and I think it's less gamey, but Nimitz is a good set of rules and equally enjoyable.
