Old Admirals: Dogger Bank-Memoir of Battle at Sea
http://oldadmirals.blogspot.com/2012/11/dogger-bank-memoir-of-battle-at-sea.html
Sunday, November 18, 2012. Dogger Bank-Memoir of Battle at Sea. One of the indelible images of the first World War is the photograph of the SMS Blucher sinking at the Battle of Dogger Bank. Tonight I refought the battle using Bob Cordery's Memoir of Battle at Sea rules, with a few modifications. I restricted the guns on torpedo boats and destroyers to targets of "light cruiser' and smaller classes. Seydlitz leads the way home, followed by Moltke, Derflinger, and the armored cruiser Blucher. Hit by shells...

Old Admirals: February 2013

The second turn sees both fleets concentrate fire on the few vessels in range. Coolingwod and Admiral Baudin take some serious hits. Caiman and R...

http://oldadmirals.blogspot.com/2012/11/two-books-you-should-read.html
Sunday, November 25, 2012. Two Books You Should Read. I am making a serious effort to read an average of one book per week this year. Here an reviews of the last two returned to the bookshelf completed. First up is Paul G. Halpern's "The Naval War in the Mediterranean 1914-1918"(Naval Institute Press, 1987). This book is not a "light" or easy read, but it is a very important one for those seeking to understand why the Allies did not pursue a more aggressive strategy in the Mediterranean and Adriatic....

Sunday, December 16, 2012. Pook Turtles at Memphis ,June 6, 1862. Tonight, Spike and I played out the Naval Battle of Memphis, using Memoir of Battle at Sea, 1860-1870.

CS Armed Rams Move-2hexes, Gun Range-2 hex, Floatation-6 Points, Critical point-2 points. The smaller Confederate rams are destroyed early, but the Federal...
