Castles in the Sky- Balkan Uprising- Raid on a Radio Tower
The Ottoman League has decided to put their naval forces towards securing and reinforcing Thasos in order to threaten the flanks of the advancing Balkan land forces. Admiral Al Reis is eager to try and relieve pressure on the ground troops in Europe while more Turkish reinforcements cross the Dardanelles to relieve them. In the meantime, Admiral Ivanov of the Balkan League wishes to continue their aggressive push to the Dardanelles and achieve a key objective in the war effort.
Both commanders of the fleets choose Offensive for their Strategy. The scenario will be a Raid, and the Ottoman League rolls the d6 to determine scenario as the attacker. The Ottoman League (since they are leading the campaign) rolls up a Bombardment scenario.
Forces:
In a bombardment scenario, each side fields up to 25 armor points.

Class: Vettor Pisani Category: Armored Cruiser Armor: 8
Experience: 5
Ground Target:
Armor 7- Free
24 Armor Points
Mission:
The attacking Balkan Ground Forces had managed to over-run a radio tower formerly used by the Turkish Navy. It was behind enemy lines and would be difficult to assault using conventional means. The Balkan League Admiral Ivanov was using the tower to broadcast signals to help co-ordinate his fleet in support of the ground troops. The Ottoman Admiral Al Reis decided to launch a daring raid to try and destroy the radio tower and its broadcasting bunker. The radio’s destruction would hamper the Balkan League fleet’s ability to press the attack on the Dardanelles and respond to the Ottoman advance in the Aegean.
The Ottoman admiral thought the raid was so important that he decided to personally lead the attack with his Flagship along with his only bomb equipped warships. Once the raid was detected by the Balkan land forces, the only Balkan League forces in a position to respond were the newly repaired Brennus and Georgios Averoff and Admiral Ivanov’s flagship.
The board is covered by clouds at an altitude level of 4. To represent this, cloud banks have been added to the board. However, the whole board is covered at altitude 4. The Pyotr is the Balkan League Flagship with the Sultan Mehmed- II Fatih as the Ottoman flagship.
The game is played on a 4 by 4 table. The Ottoman fleet has 6 turns to destroy the installation. It is located 13inches in from the Balkan board edge on the West side. It has an armor of 7. The Ottoman forces come in from the East at maximum speed and mid-altitude. They are making use of the clouds to cover their approach. The Russian flagship is relatively low and looking to cover the radio tower while the two other Balkan League ships try to cross the T on the attacking Ottoman’s.
