Night Naval Brawl: Empress Augusta Bay, 1943
Savage Night Action at Empress Augusta Bay
Savage Night Action at Empress Augusta Bay (WW2 Naval Wargame, P1)
General Quarters, General Quarters! All hands to action stations for our 1:1800 recreation of the Battle of Empress Augusta Bay, a WW2 naval action between the US and Japan in November, 1943.
This is a gunnery action between surface warfare ships, fought at night in the Solomon Islands. There were plenty of surface gun duels like this is the Pacific, all fought at night because of the dominance of airpower over naval operations.
We’re trying out a new wargame system called “Gunflashes at Midnight” – still in pre-alpha playtesting to see how it runs with live players.
Will the Americans win out with their faster-firing, radar-controlled guns? Or will the Japanese score an upset with their larger guns and dreaded “Long Lance” torpedo?
