Jonathan Lockwood, taking the British with a bid of 1, set up for Barents-on-1 putting the two 5-5-4s and the QE in North Atlantic, four 4-4-4s and Eagle in South Atlantic. Barents and North Sea were strong, so the Kriegsmarine (minus Graf Spee patrolling Baltic) sailed to North Atlantic and the subs to South Atlantic. Jonathan's dice were sub-par and Michael's were super-par. The subs painlessly decontrolled South Atlantic. Nelson and QE kissed the bottom and Rodney limped home with 5 hits. Adm. Scheer suffered a paint scrape. Scharnhorst, Genisenau and Blucher, the only German ships still at sea, oiled successfully. Score: +4 Axis.

Barents-on-One in trouble from the start when three German capital ships
oiled in the NATL. British dice cold. British lost Rodney, Nelson, Repulse,
QE and Ark Royal. One convoy sunk by subs in NATL. The other disabled in
Barents by the Luftwaffe. All German ships undamaged. U-boats at six.

Anchors (Axis) defeated Lockwood (Allies) in the WAS tournament. Lockwood
bid 1 VP for the Allies. Lockwood surrendered at end of Turn 7. Score 4+
Axis.
Details: Lockwood played Barents-on-1. Axis won the NATL and oiled both
battlecruisers and a CA. Second turn, Axis won again in the NATL and went
home. U-boats sank a convoy and decontrolled an area each turn. British
dice were cold. At start of Turn 7 Axis had lost only 1 ship, the Pola, and
had no ships damaged. British had lost Ark, 4 BBs and a CA. In appropriate
desperation, Lockwood offerred battle in the Barents with the last convoy, a
carrier and the Anson class of BBs. The Luftwaffe disabled two BBs and
damaged two more. The British sank Graf Spee. The German fire sank/disabled
all remaining British BBs except the cruiserized POW. Least-valuable-player
Award goes to the Soviet Navy which did not leave port until Turn 7. I'd
have said the war displayed the vulnerability of Barents-on-1 to oiling, but
Jonathan's dice really were cold; the outcome should have been closer.
Final score 4+ Axis. Turn 7.
