Can I point out that was the remaining ship from the previous round of combat. Again notice I actually scored more hits on the BBs and BCs than he did on mine, but again penetration counts... I seem to have trained my crews to deliberately aim at belt armour always.

Soooo, some reactions.
1. I have never ever wtahced a turn as bloody as this in my life. Its a wonder I am still sane!
2. Anyone come up with a rational explanation for the differences in gunnery?
3. This is the way to kill things, send in multiple Tfs.
I have emailed String the replay so he can enjoy it. I now have to consider what to do. The following reports will illustrate my situation.

apologies, somewhere i there a stray 'don't turn off colour html was missed out, frankly I cannot be bothered to go look for it. Okay I went back in and found it. I wish there was a better way of editing this then dropping it into here, its a pain this system of html as its so primitve... maybe there is, if so can someone enlighten me?
The ghost attack....
