    Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No

    All Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No. 290 – DECEMBER 2018 Extract from President Roosevelt’s, “Fireside Chat to the Nation”, 29 December 1940: “….we cannot escape danger by crawling into bed and pulling the covers over our heads……if Britain should go down, all of us in the Americas would be living at the point of a gun……We must produce arms and ships with every energy and resource we can command……We must be the great arsenal of democracy”. oOoOoOoOoOoOoOo The Poppies of four years ago at the Tower of London have been replaced by a display of lights. Just one of many commemorations around the World to mark one hundred years since the end of The Great War. Another major piece of art, formed a focal point as the UK commemorated 100 years since the end of the First World War. The ‘Shrouds of the Somme’ brought home the sheer scale of human sacrifice in the battle that came to epitomize the bloodshed of the 1914-18 war – the Battle of the Somme. Artist Rob Heard hand stitched and bound calico shrouds for 72,396 figures representing British Commonwealth servicemen killed at the Somme who have no known grave, many of whose bodies were never recovered and whose names are engraved on the Thiepval Memorial. Each figure of a human form, was individually shaped, shrouded and made to a name. They were laid out shoulder to shoulder in hundreds of rows to mark the Centenary of Armistice Day at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park from 8-18th November 2018 filling an area of over 4000 square metres.

    Lieutenant Commander Hugh C J Mcrae

    Lieutenant Commander Hugh C J McRae Hugh Charles James McRae was born on 29th November 1909, the only son of Sir Charles James Hugh McRea Kt JP and Lady Edith Sophia McRea (nee Farnie). He had one sister Marjorie. When growing-up the family home was in Hendon. Hugh joined Lord Williams's Grammar School in 1918, and then in 1926 joined the Royal Navy as an officer cadet at the training school HMS Worcester. He was appointed a Midshipman in 1927 and went on to serve on a number of ships. He married Frances Mary Mason in Hendon in 1935 and they set-up their family home at Airandene, Wise Lane, Mill Hill, Middlesex. However when Hugh was stationed in China in 1936, Frances moved there too, albeit having to sail on a commercial liner – the Perseus – that departed Liverpool in September 1936. A daughter Jean was born in Shanghai in 1937. After serving in China for two years, Hugh returned to the UK and joined the destroyer HMS Grafton in July 1938. The Grafton was assigned to the 1st Destroyer Flotilla in the Mediterranean Fleet and his wife and daughter set up home in Malta in January 1939. In June 1940, during the evacuation from Dunkirk, and after successfully rescuing 1600 troops, the Grafton was struck by a torpedo from U-62., with the captain and 14 others killed, the ship was too badly damaged to be towed to safety, and she was sunk by gunfire from HMS Ivanhoe. Lieutenant McRea was subsequently Mentioned in Despatches, and promoted to Lieutenant Commander, taking over command of the captured French torpedo boat Branlebas.

    Michael H. Clemmesen 31‐12‐2012 The War Room Managed North Sea Trap 1907‐1916. The Substance, Roots and Fate of the Secret Fisher‐Wilson “War Plan”. Initial remarks In 1905, when the Royal Navy fully accepted the German High Seas Fleet as its chief opponent, it was already mastering and implementing reporting and control by wireless telegraphy. The Admiralty under its new First Sea Lord, Admiral John (‘Jacky’) Fisher, was determined to employ the new technology in support and control of operations, including those in the North Sea; now destined to become the main theatre of operations. It inspired him soon to believe that he could centralize operational control with himself in the Admiralty. The wireless telegraph communications and control system had been developed since 1899 by Captain, soon Rear‐Admiral Henry Jackson. Using the new means of communications and intelligence he would be able to orchestrate the destruction of the German High Seas Fleet. He already had the necessary basic intelligence from the planned cruiser supported destroyer patrols off the German bases, an operation based on the concept of the observational blockade developed by Captain George Alexander Ballard in the 1890s. Fisher also had the required The two officers who supplied the important basis for the plan. superiority in battleships to divide the force without the risk of one part being To the left: George Alexander Ballard, the Royal Navy’s main conceptual thinker in the two decades defeated by a larger fleet. before the First World War.

    'During the night the British destroyers appeared once more, coming in close to deliver their torpedoes again and again, but the Bismarck's gunnery was so effective that none of them was able to deliver a hit. But around 08.45 hours a strongly united attack opened, and the last fight of the Bismarck began. Two minutes later, Bismarck replied, and her third volley straddled the Rodney, but this accuracy could not be maintained because of the continual battle against the sea, and, attacked now from three sides, Bismarck's fire was soon to deteriorate. Shortly after the battle commenced a shell hit the combat mast and the fire control post in the foremast broke Gerhard Junack, Lt Cdr (Eng), away. At 09.02 hours, both forward heavy gun turrets were put out of action.

    All Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No. 221 – MARCH 2013 EDITORIAL Well done to the contributors and producers of the latest “Battlefleet”. I’m still taking it all in. Thanks to David Manley and Steve Blease for this link. http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/25011.html Failure cannot happen in your life without your permission! These wise and deep words come from Jeff Chorney. I immediately had a mental list of the top five Admirals that could have had these words on a plaque in their sea cabins. Thanks to Simon for this link. China’s new stealth frigate. http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-21590331 New Member Tim Moore supplies these words: “In the past I've run lots of Napoleonic and similar games using a slightly cut down version of FLoB that lets us play Trafalgar in a 4 hour club night with 8 to 10 players. FLoB is a simple rule set to start with but if you are going to play with 8 players each with a squadron of 6 ship- of-the-line you need to get through the turns rapidly. I have designed a couple of play aids and a suitable play sheet. The proof is in the outcomes. People even enjoy the Nile or Copenhagen”. “I have run quite a few map based WW2 games including carrier actions and other search based games. They went down well. I still have some of that stuff 20 plus years later”. Sounds good, if only I could think of what FLob is the abbreviation for.
