Battle of the Falkland Islands!

I know that some formats have different events resembling historical events, like the Bismark's Last Stand, and the Battle of the Denmark Strait, but has anybody ever wanted to do a Battle of the Falkland Islands?
Basically all you would need is two Invincible class battle cruisers, and two Scharnhorst class armored cruisers.
I guess really the question is, would anybody want to do it? I'd build an Invincible if this ever gets off the ground.
So, what are you guys thoughts on this?

Indeed. i'd be down for dispatching a few iboats

 

Coolness. A classic sea battle. Any one have any early RN CL's? I have Emden plans which could pass for some of Spee's CL's.

 

So, we have the two armored cruisers, now all we need is someone to build another I-boat. I don't know if the CL's would really be worthwhile building. They would be small and not have very many units.

Also, does anybody have I-boat plans that I could dowload?
So, it looks like my dream might come true after all.

Generally 1.5 units in MWC. for the CL's. Same problems as destroyers but a bit bigger.

 

Which format do you guys think would be best? I'm thinking MWC, because Tuggy's Scharnie is a MWC boat and Absolutek's is and IRC\MWC combo. Do you guys agree? I guess another problem is location. Canada, Pennsylvania and Georgia, are pretty far apart.

I have a passport, and I will travel to sink allied ships, buy your cheap gas and your cheap alcohol.

 

Statesboro has a lovely pond.

 

There is only one problem on my part. Statesboro is a 12hr drive from where I live. Plus, I don't have my license yet.

Beaver

 

Yeah the lack of license could be a bit of a problem.

 

Yup, if we did it up here around Ohio, or Maryland, I would be able to do it, but Georgia is too far right now.

Beaver

 

So, I guess we ran into a dead end? Any ideas on how we could do it up near me?

as an I boat driver, there's no way I'd be interested in putting my beloved Invincible out there to get embarrassed by a pair of crappy armored cruisers. I've battled against those ACRs, and I'd never get my sidemounts on target. they are simply too maneuverable. I doubt they'd sink me, but they'd shoot me full of holes then laugh at me while I patch.

There's a reason why you have Scharnhorst captains signing up, and no I boats. Invincibles are darned fine ships, but this is not a good matchup for them.

 

Well the hobby is not historically accurate. It will be good to see von Spee get his own back .

 

Not at my expense!

 

I could always bring my Inflexible for somebody to run if the other Iboat captains are too cowardly to show up

 

I'll build an I boat and battle it. I'm not afraid to patch holes. Btw what size pond is a nice size to battle in? I'm trying to find a pond to do the battle in here locally. If you guys even want to do it locally.

I don't know if your club has restrictions on names, but if not, you should name your I-boat HMS Inedible.
