Britain typically plays best at rb 2-3 - and they will maintain this distance by using their broadsides while cruising at an angle to their target. In doing so, one tries to keep one's ships outside of the enemies effective range.<br />Charging, then, straight into a number of heat lances with your super expensive dreadnought, agincourts, and BB was probably a bad idea. <br />I would also note this allowed the French fleet to encircle the kob forces, allowing the RoF player the luxury of picking rangebands, firing arcs, etc. <br /><br />Lastly, on deployment, I would talk about destroyers. These are expensive ships - but also very weak. Fortunately, they have great range allowing one to maneuver them into safer zones where they can happily harry the enemy. <br />In this game, they were run ahead of the fleet so that they could shoot first - which largely wasted those ships. Deploying them against skimmers was also poor target priority.rosenkranznoreply@blogger.com
