The action I wanted to see was a hypothetical Dec 10th, 1941 engagement between the Prince of Wales and the Repulse against the Haruna and the Kongo (both originally BCs, later converted to fast battleships). I have wargamed this action once (using Raider Operations - ask me about multiplayer Internet naval warfare offlist) and the Japanese BCs seemed fairly effective - although a lucky torpedo strike left the Prince of Wales fighting alone in very short order. I'll try the scenario again and hope the RN can dodge torpedoes. > Eric Foley wrote: > That may be true... except for the fact that the three battlecruisers
