The Battle of Angamos 1879 - A Dahlgren and Columbiad Scenario

I'm planning to run the Battle of Angamos scenario from A and A Games Iron and Fire over the next couple of days, using Dahlgren and Columbiad for the action as an alternative, fast play set of rules. The Iron and Fire scenario kicks off with the Huascar caught in a pincer movements by the Blanco Encalada and Almirante Cochrane, so I will set up the same starting positions with the Huascar at the centre of the table heading West, with the Chileans approaching from the South West and North East respectively. 

The objective of the Huascar is to avoid capture and inflict sufficient damage on the Chilean ironclads to satisfy Peruvian honour. The Chileans have to capture the Huascar without inflicting too much damage, ideally by conducting a successful boarding action once she's been immobilised. They will lose the game if the Huascar sinks or is so badly damaged as to be unusable, in other words in a sinking condition and unlikely to remain afloat.

I may even give the Peruvians the option to scuttle, but only once the Huascar is dead in the water or the main armament has been knocked out. This would have a time limit to give the Chileans an opportunity to board and shut off the sea cocks before she goes to the bottom.  I'll be playing solo, so the exact outcome will be up to me, although I may well run a re-play to tighten the objectives and victory conditions in the light of the game.
