Welcome back Naval Gamers,

Part 2 of our Baltic Naval Campaign is up on t'blog for those of you with a nautical disposition to enjoy. Read our adventures on the high seas or why not join in, all the scenario details are there.

As you might be able to tell from the photo, things didn't go to well for the Russians.

Why do Commanders always close the range ?

We had an enjoyable game and part 3 of the Campaign our go at the Tallinn Convoys is already on the table.

I missed the post about the first engagement, so I just read up on the first and second scenarios. Very good stuff, love the narrative aspect. I really would like to do something like this for Dystopian Wars.

Cheers everyone,

I started using the linked scenario method for Campaigns a few years back after getting bogged down in games in the past where people have lost interest after their 97th carefully plotted search pattern failed to locate the enemy.

This way each game is more or less self contained but the result of the previous battle effects the start point of the next game. So in the Baltic games the Germans have the technical edge however they are very short on numbers whilst the Russians in comparison have large numbers of Destroyers in the pot, the loss of the Maxim Gorky could prove very difficult for them, but you can't predict how tabletop Commanders will act !

Game 3 is already in motion, reports soon.
