Repulse and Prince of Wales were being escorted (by 4 DDs) at the time of their sinking.

Ha! I did not know that! Thank you. So their fleet would have been 1 capital ship, 1 CA and 4 DD, very similar to what we've been talking about.

1 BB, 1 BC and 4 DDs, yes. The only thing that's really missing is a CA or CL, and that wasn't that uncommon among small surface groups built around capital ships. So, yeah, Force Z comes very close to representing your ideal OOB fleet.
I've said it elsewhere but it bears repeating: the OOB House Rule is probably the best modification I've seen to the basic WaS game engine. Around here, we no longer play under any other rules except in convoy scenarios. I don't see how anyone who doesn't have a Yellow Brick Road address could object to the OOB rules. Great work.

I love playing over that attack in Battlestations Pacific. If you do not destroy the two ships fast enough they call in 2 more destroyers to aid in the AA barrage.

anything that balances the game is more important than historical reproduction I think. Even if people don't admit it, everyone likes to win.
