We got an early start to avoid the heat and ended up with 4 warships hitting the water during our August battle. No sinks this month, but Richelieu gave it a valiant effort. After sustaining a large hole in her armor just below the waterline, the Richelieu lost radio power and was dead in the water. Her pump, fortunately, was on a seperate battery. The pump was able to keep the Richelieu afloat just long enough for the Bismarck to do her best impression of a tugboat and assist in pushing the Richelieu back to shore.
We look forward to seeing everyone for next month’s battle where we expect to have 2 new warships hitting to water!
