Sink the Bismarck, The Cry That Shook The Seven Seas

Alright, so this was inspired by a few things. First is my desire to take the game Salvo slowly and the other was because of a suggestion by Virginian John. I’m gonna play the Denmark Strait scenario where it pits Bismarck and Prinz Eugen vs. Hood and the Prince of Wales.

However, I will be using the Mythic GM Emulator to help run the battle and provide twists. This is also because I need help pacing out the battle, so the Mythic Emulator will help me with that. Every two rounds will count as a “Scene” for Mythic, as that is also how often you have to roll on the “End of Turn” table.

I’ve set up the Mythic List so as to include the ships on both NPCs and PCs list, as well as Winston Churchill on the NPC list (since I’m playing the ships, not their allied commanders). For threads, I added the sinking of the Bismarck and Hood, because as far as the game’s concerned, those will be the major moments in the Denmark Strait skirmish. To make it even more easier, I created a macro in Roll20 that allowed the system to add up the numbers so that I didn’t have to go through the math process.
