Victory at Sea in World War One

By Scott Elaurant© January 2008

Introduction
This is intended as an expansion to the Victory at Sea game for World War One
battles. British Royal Navy and German High Seas Fleets ship statistics are listed,
including most ships that fought at the Battle of Jutland.

Ship Special Rules

Limited Submersible – World War One submarines were only able to dive for
shorter periods and stayed at shallow depths. If they are spotted at periscope depth
they may be rammed. If a World War One submarine with this feature attempts to
fire a torpedo, on that turn or the turn after enemy ships may sink it by ramming.
Move the ramming vessel into contact with the submarine. Roll the attacking vessels
to hit number or higher (+1 if ramming from side) to sink the submarine. The
submarine also rolls against its to hit number. If it rolls a hit the submarine is also
sunk, but one point of damage (no save) is done to the ship as well.

Vulnerable Magazines – These ships have either weak turret top armour or lack
magazine fire protection. Any critical hit resulting in a Weapons hit causes a
Magazine Explosion on a roll of 4 to 6 for ships with this rule. This does not apply if
the enemy weapon is rated as “weak”.

Points System for World war One

This point system is designed to balance Victory at Sea games for World War One
Ships. It still assumes that the same level system will operate. The points per side
players may have to spend will be up to the following limits for each level of game:
Game Level Points Total
Patrol 50
Skirmish 75
Raid 100
Battle 150
War 300

• Players may only select a fleet consisting of five different choices of types of
ships, submarines or aircraft. Players may need to choose multiple numbers of
a given Class to balance their points totals.
• The number of ships or submarines of any class chosen may not exceed the
number of ships (built) listed in the tables for that class.
• Fleets may be deployed in a total of no more than five separate squadrons.
• Fleet totals may be less than, equal too, but not greater than the total for that
level game.
• Aircraft and Submarine choices are limited to one pick in World War One.

For example, a player with a British Fleet playing a “War” level game (300 points),
chooses a fleet consisting of Queen Elizabeth Class Battleships, Southampton Class
Cruisers, Tribal Class Destroyers, Hurricane Fighters and Beaufighter Bombers. The
fleet is as follows:

2 Queen Elizabeth Class Battleships = 2 x 60 = 120 points
3 Lion Class Battle Cruisers = 3 x 30 = 90 points
3 Gloucester Class Light Cruisers = 3 x 15 = 45 points
2 N Class Destroyer Leaders = 2 x 10 = 20 points
5 S Class Destroyers = 5 x 5 = 25 points
Total = 300 points (maximum permitted = 300 points for War Level).

Fighting Between World War One and World War Two Fleets
Although not historical, players may wish to fight games between World War One
and Two fleets. The World War One fleet will face some obvious disadvantage in
this, but this may be compensated by reducing the cost of the World War One fleet.
Treat World War One fleets as purchased at one level below a corresponding World
War Two fleet. That is, the points cost of the World War One fleet’s is halved.

Royal Navy Fleet List
The Royal Navy in World War One was the largest and most powerful navy in the
world. However it faced a growing threat from the German High Seas Fleet, which
though smaller, was catching up in size and possessed qualitatively superior ships.
The Royal Navy adopted a strategy of blockading the High Seas Fleet in its bases,
forcing a battle in the North Sea if it wished to carry out operations. This strategy
culminated in the Battle of Jutland, where the Royal Navy lost four capital ships to
two. Nevertheless it forced the High Seas Fleet back to base for the rest of the war.

Elsewhere the Royal Navy carried out patrols across the globe in defence of British
Empire colonies. This resulted in battles in the Falklands and against commerce
raiders in the Indian Ocean. In the Mediterranean the fleet fought in defence of the
Gallipoli campaign, losing a number of older pre-dreadnoughts to mines and shore
batteries. Last but not least the Royal Navy fought against the first submarine
offensive against commerce shipping, learning to convoy, depth charge and destroy
submarines.

Battleships (Dreadnoughts)
Revenge Class
Revenge, Ramallies, Royal Oak, Royal Sovereign
The Revenge Class was the latest class of battleship built by Britain during the war. It
was slower than the Queen Elizabeth class, due to reverting to coal fired boilers.

Queen Elizabeth Class

Barham, Malaya, Queen Elizabeth, Valiant, Warspite
The Queen Elizabeth Class were the first British battleships equipped with 15 inch
guns and oil fired boilers, which gave them a speed advantage. They also benefited
from new armour arrangements and were probably the best all round ships of the war.

High Seas Fleet List
At the start of the twentieth century Germany was expanding its fleet to match
Britain. When the launch of Dreadnought saw previous ships rendered obsolete,
Germany saw its chance to match the Royal Navy. It embarked on an ambitious
expansion program, which led to a massive naval arms race. Germany was outbuilt,
but its ships were superior in quality, especially of armour. Guns on German
dreadnoughts were typically smaller, but their capped AP ammunition made them just
as dangerous.

In addition to their fleet building, Germany also embarked on the first large scale
submarine building program. While the High Seas Fleet did not eventually break out
into the Atlantic, the U Boats almost brought Britain to its knees.

Battleships (Dreadnoughts)
Bayern Class
Bayern, Baden
The Bayerns were the first German dreadnoughts with 15 inch guns and even better
