  8. You should try maybe on one of the next campaigns not having any fleets more than 7 or 8 ships so there's none of this 10 on One battles that are just complete demolishing.
    And if need be there's a 15 ship battle combined two fleets to go after it.

  12. Second Battle of Chinchew 21:58:

    Konstantinoúpoli Kathimeriná Néa

    ε.Κ. 3/9/7464, A.D. 3/9/1956

    The Adrias class Thoriktó 2is vathmídas Kos, the Salamis, lead of her class of Thoriktá 3is vathmídas, and eight Katadromiká máchis, the Doxa, lead of her class, her sister ships Episteme and Dogma, the Kataphraktos class Mugiatbosmo and Theodosius, the Cerberus, lead of her class, and her sister ship Pouketa, and the Poseiden, lead of her class, escorted by the Rodos class Kynigós Katadromikó Particeps, where once again off Chinchew, in the Fujian province of southern China, this time to defend it from a British attack. This time they sent two Illustrious Class battleships with 18.4” guns, the Bellerophon and Revenge, all the way from the North Sea, where both fought in the Battle of Jutland (canonical and non-canonical), with an escort of their newest destroyers, the Stronghold.

    The British were coming in from the north. The fleet sent Particeps off to cool her boilers while the capital ships reorganized into a slow division of Salamis and Kos and the Cerberus, Pouketa, and Poseiden, and a fast division with Doxa, Theodosius, Mugiatbosmo, Dogma and Episteme. The fast division promptly reduced speed to their cruising speed, and invited the British to close into their broadsides.

    Revenge and Bellerophon opened fire, targeting Salamis, but the first hits were 14” shells punching right through Stronghold. Salamis however took a number of hits and was ordered to retire with 179 casualties. Then Stronghold was sunk, losing 238 of her 287 man crew.

    Revenge then lost her main tower, and with other hits, she fell back to trail Bellerophon. (If you survived the Battle of Jutland you’d have a seasoned crew!) The slow division, with Kos now in the lead, kept firing on Revenge. The fast division put their fire on Bellerophon. Bellerophon lost her main tower and began flooding forward. Then a massive salvo tore off her secondary tower and her stern. She lost her 8.1” powder magazine. Bellerophon finally took the flooding hits that sank her with 1582 of her 2002 man crew.

    Now Revenge was under fire from both divisions. She began to take flooding hits. After taking 801 casualties Revenge signaled her surrender.

    Doxa took 84 casualties, Episteme and Mugiatbosmo each took 39, Dogma took 20 casualties, and Theodosius took 8. 1670 British Personnel were taken prisoner.
