It is 1905 and I'm trying to invade the Baltics. This time, no issues getting the transports there, they'd all arrived during the night.
Then, with no sign of the enemy, the TRs all turned around and headed for home half an hour before full daylight.
Furthermore, the Russian fleet did turn up at daybreak, and I sank 3 of their 4 remaining Bs, 5 CLs and a brace of destroyers, for the loss of one CL and one TR (mined).
My VPS were 5 times theirs, and yet...the invasion failed.

Very annoying.

Postscript: I tried again two months later, and everything went OK. The invasion forces landed, and the Russian fleet was heavily defeated again in the process.

With nothing much of it left, they were unable to oppose landings in Finland. In the end, they sued for peace while defending it. and I picked it up in the settlement. As an outcome, it will do.

So the earlier invasion failure may or may not have been an outlier.
