Ben's new Lutzow. This used boat was purchased from Mike M. at the Conference in August, and is at her first battle less than 2 months later. Many thanks to all that played a part in helping this happen.
The Brand new French battleship Jean Bart, captained by Vance, and the British battlecruiser HMS Hood, captained by Doug. The Bart was built just for Vance (who is 8), with only three cannons (all 75 rounders). Turret 1 to port. Turret 2 to starboard, and a stern gun in the after secondary group. She also has a 1.5 unit pump, for extra survivability. The theory is that he can get out of more trouble than he can get into.
The German battleship DKM Bismarck, captained by Roland. The most powerful boat on the water. And the French battlecruiser Dunkerque captained by Bat.
Fleet Battle #1 Left to right. Tourville, Dunkerque, Markgraf, Jean Bart, Strasbourg, Bearn (French aircraft-carrier), Bismarck, Hood, and Lutzow.
Ben's Lutzow coming in with a nasty list after some ship-to-ship contact. Strasbourg stands by. The culprit is leaving the photo.
