Wonderful brutality

[axe99]

One of the (many) things I like about RtW is that, every now and again, you get put in a no-win situation.  In a war with the US, and I get a cruiser mission (always fun), so press the 'go' button, and it's my BC Malaya, 3 DDs and a scouting CL.  They bump into 3 BCs (two of which are a little larger/more capable than Malaya and, sadly, 1 knot faster), so I throw the DDs into a flotilla attack to turn and run, and then this happens!




It didn't end well for Malaya or the DDs, but Cambrian managed to escape to report the fate of the other ships.  Love the brutality .

The AI does have a nasty way of baiting a trap. I've gotten better about thinking what might be behind the bait.

Not good, exactly... but better. Experience, they say, is what allows you to recognize the truck when it runs over you again.

Fortunately, Britain can probably afford to lose a BC, just don't make a habit of it.
