Rerunning the same scenario to get an average result would be interesting, rather like the study Neill MacKay's group at the University of York did for Dogger Bank & Jutland.<br /><br /><br /><br />Ianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08450487318721563341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6502298319772392881.post-17153038500077736222017-11-22T09:08:35.823+00:002017-11-22T09:08:35.823+00:00Cheers David,

That was because PoW did a good job at hammering the Bismarck.<br /><br />All interesting stuff indeed ;)<br /><br />I want to get another tabletop run-out before we take it to the Stockton Battleground Wargames Show this Saturday 25th November (shameless plug). <br /><br />TO ALL: If you are at the show please come along and have a chat. Opinions welcome .. and wargamers have a few ;)Geordie an Exiled FoGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01002743056274635657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6502298319772392881.post-77587330304130026692017-11-22T08:25:44.789+00:002017-11-22T08:25:44.789+00:00Hi Geordie,
