Another NAVCON has come and gone. Another great day for Naval Thunder. There were a total of three NT games on the schedule. Mike and I ran two of them, Historical Java Sea and Alternate History Pearl Harbor Counter strike. Then four of us stuck around for a quick battle of the River Plate scenario (unfortunately quicker than I would have liked as it ended with a bang.) We had 10 players at the Java Sea event and 11 at the Pearl Harbor. Both were capacity plus, but we made room as there were some old hats and a few new comers. I will do up full AARs later for the games we ran, but here are some teaser pics from the action. Java Sea set up and ready to go: It became very bloody as the scenario progressed: Pearl Harbor Counter strike Set up: As it was a night action it also became bloody as the ranges became close: The final game we played was River Plate. I will just say as the Geramn player I had the Exeter on the run until I rolled 0,0 on a secondary penetrating hit. Only time I was able to actually play all day and the only Magazine explsion all day....go figure! Thanks to all that came out an played, I really enjoyed it after a two year absence.

By the way, the peral game was very fun to play even though my japanese battle cruiser did nothing the entrire fight...sigh. The othe game that run was by myself also "who wants to be king". A turn of centry fight that was very bloody and very quick and veery funny how it ended.
As for the river platte game.....it was funny it was from a 4 inch gun at long range that hit the main mag.....the other two brit cruisers did not even get a shot off......but in the mean he did put a list on the ship I was running in the first couple of turns...then ran away under cover of smoke tonlet the other two ships close range.
