Battle Ship

Surgio Straights

At the height of the battle of Leyte Gulf a mixed force of Japanese Battleships, Cruisers & Destroyers attempted to breach the American defenses at Surgio Straights. Although outnumbered American Battleships (aided by some near suicidal PT attacks) formed battle lines & met the Jap attack guns blazing.

The final Japanese gasp. Dragon has one bridgeless cruiser that manages to get between 2 American battleships to launch torpedos. Unfortunately the mighty Yamato is stripped of all its superstructure and game is ended.
