Last night a good friend came over(Bill) and we gave the new fleets a test run along with my eldset son.
My son took command of the Russian fleet and Bill and I divided the IJN command. Neither my son or Bill had played NT yet, so it was a learning experience for all.
We developed our strategy to cut off the Russian fleet and sailed out to meet them.
Early on we decided to spilt out forces in hopes that the Russians would take the shortest route possible to make it to the objective.
Unfortunately the Russian fire was deadly and scored multiple critical hits on the Battleship Fuji igniting the magazine BOOM!
The Japanese line then raked the oncoming Russian battle line scoring a hit on every ship and causing the Pobieda to drop out of formation.
Unfortunately the action ended when Mom called for my son to go to bed.
The Russians had scored a lucky critical, but the Japanese fleet was still very potent. The Russians flag ship was barely afloat and two others were heavily damaged.
Overall we really enjoyed the simplicity of the of the pre-dreadnaught action. Close the range, manuever for advantage and slug it out.
Look forward to adding more units to this action in the future.
Best part is my son now knows how to play and seemed to enjoy the action, so I have a future opponent.

Of course as Mom is the CinC, what are you going to do?
