As surprise units for a modified Battle of the River Plate, I devised these two platforms. They're very rough and quick sketches, using simple information. I submit for everyone to use and modify as desired. A little bit information below:
Altmark: Tanker that supported the Graf Spee. It's a simple 'what if' Harwood had happened upon the Spee and Altmark during a refueling. While in RL, Altmark would've prob made best speed to clear the area, it's possible it might not be able to have to fight it out alongside the Spee. The hull points are a simple sop to keep the unit longer in the battle, the weaponry is based on the Wikipedia entry. Please, modify as you wish, but would you let me know what you do and why, so I could perhaps use it.
Atlantis: Auxilary Cruiser/Raider. Adds to the simple 'what if' above. Harwood encounters Spee laying nearby a merchant it appears to be plundering. Harwood moves his squadron to the aid and suddenly torpedoes reach out for him from the 'innocent merchie'. As with the Altmark, the hull points are simply to keep the unit in the fight, and I'm sure, based on size alone, she merits DD stats for AV/SAV. As with the Altmark, do as you wish, just share your changes for the NT forum.
If you're concerned about the Brits, simply add in the Cumberland (historically left in the Falklands), and I'm even going to add an Carlisle type C-class CL if needed (and if more than 3-4 players show up)
Thanks!
