The Battle of Cape Baledero Description:
This will be a hypothetical naval engagement in the Spanish-American War of 1901
Starting the war later allows the addition of some interesting Spanish and American ships, as well as some German ones
“loaned” to the Spanish navy in return for a naval base in Puerto Rico. This may be the basis for a future campaign game if there is interest.
