We have some scenarios here on the beta site that are "historical" -- I'd have no problem doing that with this one.

The closest I came was knocking Con down by about half, but that was with Basic rules. The tiny crews give the Brits crew section modifiers quickly, which degrades their ability even faster, thus my comment about the crew sizes. You're right about repairs (not done yet, but on the list I think).

I was surprised when I looked up the scenario in the orignal rules because the point values ARE very close. On paper it should be a good fight.

Thanks for setting these up, WSIM desperately needs more scenarios. And thanks for being willing to discuss them objectively. I'll set up a couple challenge games for us -- maybe I overlooked something.
