S- boats, Minesweeper and Flakboot, that's the German fleet, although it also comes with a Stuka which is quite nice but not really required in the game as aircraft attacks could easily be represented with a counter.
I've gone for a few different camo schemes, simply because I seem too have loads of e-boats to play with. These stress the s-100 with armored wheelhouse.
I think this is my favorite one, a lot of sponging and stippling to get this effect.
These are the s-38 type which I prefer to the s-100, they just look nicer!
A flakboot, and yes that's an 88mm on the front, pretty scary really although terribly slow in the game and vulnerable to torpedoes.
I foolishly asked my son what camo scheme I should paint the minesweeper and his reply was "Bismarck", so I valiantly tried to paint straight lines on the damn thing which was no easy task
Turned out ok I reckon.
The combined Kreigsmarine fleet. A much scarier proposition than my Royal Navy, at least until I finish my Fairmiles
In the Cruel Seas starter set you also got a half submerged sub, not tried to user it yet I just enjoyed painting it.
