The poor St George

[Danelin Aruna]

I had a very fun mission in the 1910 campaign I'm playing, I'm the Germans. So the prelude is i had a convoy escort mission, the war has been going on awhile. The might of the German fleet had assembled to protect a 10 ship convoy off the British coast. the German navy assembled its entire battle line, 4 battle cruisers, and 4 battle ships. What dastardly enemy would attack such a glorious force? battle ships? battle cruisers? no it would be a task force of the Royal navy centered around the armored cruiser St George. in company she had one Light cruiser Barham, and 5 destroyers.

So on a calm beautiful day the Royal navy task force ran into the heart of the German navy, the lighter forces drove forth into the German navies bigger guns well laying smoke trying to get there torpedoes into range. with 64, 12 in guns from the German line of battle raining down on them, as well as the 6in secondary's from the German battle ships and the 5 in secondary's from the German battle cruisers. One destroyer made it to torpedo range and managed to actually hit a German battle ship. But in doing so was overwhelmed by the return volley.

One by one the British ships were cutdown, until St George was the last ship a float, as the German battle group quickly wiped out the most dangerous foes, the Destroyers, and light cruiser who's torpedoes posed a risk to the majestic Battle Ships and Battle Cruisers. and St George, seeing its entire task force sunk before it turned and tried to flee, but alas it was for not well into the German groups range, she has the entire fleets guns trained on her. The end was nigh and the mighty St George was sent to the bottom like her escorts.
