"ACTION STATIONS, NUMBER ONE!"
"Guns to bear, 060 - Fire when the target is in range."
"Radio – Message to Flag – Have sighted the Admiral Scheer, I am closing to engage."
The Admiral Graf Spee and Exeter turn in starboard towards each other at full steam. Ajax and Achilles both turn to port to close in on the Graf Spee.
The gunnery officer aboard the Graf Spee sees that the Exeter has strayed just into range for her main 28 cm (11 in) guns. Both turrets open fire.
A hit! (Each 4 and 5 counts as one success, while a 6 counts as two.) The Exeter takes one point of hull damage to the forward upper deck.
Can the Ajax and Achilles close in to provide assistance in time?
Next post, turn 2.
