4 E boats found a homeward convoy with light escorts one corvette and a arm trawler
one side of the table we had a harbour with  a guard Ml in side it  two Drifters looking to clear mines
coming out of the harbour and a air sea rescue launch coming back in to the harbour .
A very fast attack by the E boats with 20mm 37mm on the back escort the arm trawler lost her guns .
then the next move the 4 E boat dropped there Torpedo's marked by brass rods. Tried taken evasive action with the merchantmen and lost 3 of them
