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.

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

Monday, February 4, 2013. Another Anglo-French Dispute, at Sea. My apologies for the long absence.

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....

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...
