Cruel Seas Starter Set

As soon as schooner number two realized he was receiving our complete broadside, he opened up at us with everything he had, I picked out a 40-mm for’d and a multiple 20-mm aft and told the pom-pom and twin Oerlikon to knock them out. The noise was deafening and incessant, and the smell of smoke, hot metal, grease and cordite mingled with the ever-present tang of exhaust fumes. Suddenly I found myself cheering, Watt at the 6-pounder had been crashing shell after shell into the schooner’s hull and now he changed his aim to its high poop-deck aft. A vivid flash was followed by the boom of an explosion. Ammunition spouted skywards like a set piece of fireworks at the Crystal Place.
The coxswain continued his scathing commentary on German gunnery and training methods, “I reckon they don’t do any drill, sir; perhaps they haven’t got bastards for gunnery Officers like we ‘ave!”
