Check Campaign 15: UAD has updated & to Learn it's new ways I started another British Campaign

Queen Elizabeth and Prince of Wales illustrate a caution about deploying large carriers in the Baltic or Black Sea, with somewhat more room available in the Mediterranean.

Jutland illustrates why a fleet's objectives and the outcome of its operations matter when assessing victory.

The Black Sea discussion identifies preventing amphibious attack, disrupting Russian supplies, and protecting Ukrainian exports as operational objectives.

Choosing a torpedo-heavy game design makes speed a requirement for reaching an effective launch position.

A campaign budget check separates new construction from the heavy recurring costs of repairs, ammunition, fuel, and shipyard development.

Closing to 2-inch gun range brings a high volume of light-gun fire against a torpedo boat.

Yes. Dock size was the limiting factor until the next round of infrastructure investment.

The G3 and N3 answer expands into the Royal Navy's recurring infrastructure investment and the upgrades disrupted by the First World War.

A campaign battleship combines nine 16.5-inch guns, twenty-seven 6-inch guns, heavy armor, and 28-knot speed on an 85,000-ton hull.

The uncompleted Graf Zeppelin prompts the observation that Germany still developed and completed aircraft intended for carrier operations.

Six battleships are organized into divisions with cruiser and destroyer screens for a deliberate long-range engagement.

The battle demonstrates how extensive 6-inch batteries can protect capital ships from destroyers while adding an exceptional weight of fire against larger targets.

Yes. Italy could optimize for a concentrated Mediterranean role, while France had to choose between ships suited to that theatre and ships able to operate worldwide.

Yes for this game design. Its 85,000-ton displacement is used to explain the space available for ammunition.

The US Navy squadron books stand out for their patches and organizational material. Another academic book has good content, but its unexplained jargon and high price make it difficult to recommend to a general reader.

A light cruiser uses speed, smoke, course changes, and torpedoes to disrupt a stronger formation and draw it toward supporting heavy cruisers.

A campaign battleship gives up its fire-control advantage by closing on a maneuverable light cruiser.

Inspecting an opposing ship's launchers reveals how it can put fifteen torpedoes into one broadside during the game battle.

The Fishguard landing prompts discussion of a planned French diversion near Newcastle and doubts about the prospects of a force of roughly 1,500 men.

Two campaign research checks connect electromagnetic minesweeping, upgraded mines, formation control, rangefinding, and radar development.

Control of southern England and northern France lets the campaign fleet mine the Channel while French convoys continue attempting the constrained route.

Some hunts used scent trails laid by people after the earlier Labour government's ban on hunting foxes with dogs.

A deliberately game-based counterfactual places the campaign's six 85,000-ton battleships into familiar Royal Navy actions of the Second World War.

An enemy ship's ineffective firing gives away its position when remaining hidden by smoke would offer better protection.

A mention of Olympia prompts criticism of how few ships survive from Britain's exceptionally large historical fleets.

Three fleets are brought together against western France before a planned transfer of large forces into the Mediterranean.

A new heavy cruiser starts with a 12-inch-gun ambition, but the available hull and machinery force compromises in armament, protection, and speed.

The cruiser design moves through smaller gun options and changes in fittings as its centre of mass and displacement remain difficult to balance.

The closing design remains overweight despite a stable profile, leading to a decision to wait for further cruiser and hull research.
