Memories of the Fletcher Pratt Naval Wargame

The Games were played before the idea of political correctness, so any ship could be on any side. We had the Japanese and Italians fighting the Swedes on one occasion. We were interested in evaluating the effectiveness of different ships in a naval battle.

Our best games were played with ships with a maximum of 11" or 12” guns. The problem with using bigger ships was a lucky hit with large calibre guns could put someone’s light ship out of the game very quickly. We found our games focussed on destroyers and cruisers were more interesting than gunnery duels with battleships.
