ft-Raiders

I find the idea of raiders in campains very useful, just from the amount
of 
resources that have to be diverted to defend against them, because if
you 
don`t, the lost of your resources can be devistating. In a simple
senario, a 
raider is either picking on something it outclasses, or is being hunted
by 
something that outclasses it totally. The only real life example of a
faily 
even raider Vs hunter battle that comes to mind is the WW2 graf
spey(cant 
spell) being hunted by the RN cruisers.

As to JHs comments about dreadnought BB`s, I have actually designed and 
played with all big gun ships, and my fave was using turreted K guns and

multi layered PH armour, to get the WW1 feel. As for the other comment
about 
modern navy ships Vs WW2 ships, you don`t even have to go to that
extreem 
for a example. Just look at the end of WW2, with the carriers
outclassing 
BBs (thinking of a specific engaugement when the japs decoyed away the
big 
carrriers, and the BBs managed to get close in restrictive waters in a 
island chain, name escapes me at the moment).
