Visited the Berwick Wargames Association (BWA) headquarters yesterday for a re-fight of the Battle of Jutland.  http://www.berwickwargamesassociation.org/

The British Cruiser and Destroyer Squadrons were being lured towards the main German Battleships when the engagement began. To achieve victory the Germans were required to destroy one complete British Cruiser squadron.

Upon sighting the German Battleships the British  destroyer squadrons laid smoke and turned about to join the main fleet and at the same time interposing themselves between the Germans and the two Cruiser squadrons they were escorting.

The Queen Mary squadron came under intensive fire and soon the Indefatigable and the Tiger were crippled and sinking fast, but not before they had taken out the German Flag ship and several destroyer squadrons.

The Germans were pressing hard and another Cruiser was sunk only leaving the Queen Mary herself afloat.

Just as victory seemed almost certain for the Germans Admiral Jellicoe arrived with the British High Seas Fleet to rescue the day (code for time was up and we had to finish).

A great day thanks to the BWA guys. Thanks!!
