Situation: The Trent Crisis is going hot, and the US has dispatched a squadron to destroy the British Squadron in North America before reinforcements can arrive in the form of the Channel Fleet. The North American Squadron is anchored in Bermuda, and Admiral Dahlgren is sailing to destroy it with 2 ironclads and 2 wooden ships. On reaching the port, they find 3 British warships in their path, and a signal going up for the British to raise steam. If they can finish the blocking force quickly they can still sink the Brits at anchor.
Intruder: America
USS New Ironsides
USS Galena
USS Wabash (Minnesota class)
USS Colorado (Minnesota class)
Native: British
HMS Terror
HMS Mersey
HMS Orlando
Victory Conditions: The US just destroy the British within 15 turns, without losing an Ironclad. If an Ironclad is destroyed the best the US can get is a draw. If 2 US ships (of any type) are lost, the US withdraws and the Brits win.
