To speed things along I executed several Tactical Turns using your last known intentions. You fired the Mk8 gun 18 times. Your lookouts can now see the enemy warship, and you still have the enemy merchant on radar. The warship has stopped and has lots of smoke coming from it.

 

I am waiting for Blue player to give his intentions for the game.

Fair enough. From here, my intent is to open the range to the warship back out to about 9 nm and then to circle around it clockwise at maximum speed -- increasing to that speed as able -- keeping at 9 nm to approach the merchant as long as the merchant continues to pull away from the warship. I will fire the Mk8 continuously at the merchant during this maneuver.

 

If the merchant moves to get closer to the warship, I will turn to approach both at maximum speed, but will instead be firing the Mk8 at the warship until she sinks, then at the merchant,

Blue player has hoisted the white flag. He can no longer protect the merchant, and you can easily sink it. You are the victor! You played an excellent game. I will create an After Action Report thread for you to post your thoughts about the scenario and using SimPlot Viewer for an H4 game.

I have posted in the AAR thread. Thank you for running the game-- I had a good time, and would be thrilled to play again if and when you run something else.

 

Since the game is over, out of curiosity, I wondered if you would be willing to clarify the deal with the Don-2. Was the merchant broadcasting, or did I misunderstand what the Ship Data Annex was trying to get across about the radars and the Units business?

The misunderstanding about the Don-2 was mine. I thought only the Mod Kashin ships had the upgraded radar, but I might have been mistaken about that. Since the ship in play was never modified, I thought it only had Don-2.

 

The merchant did not use any radar during the game.

Oh, ok. That's fine. Since my experience with Harpoon is limited, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't misunderstanding something. Thank you.
