Atlantic Chase: The Kriegsmarine Against the Home Fleet 1939-1942

Simulates North Atlantic surface fleet operations between 1939 and 1942 using a trajectory-based fog-of-war system. Players plot and arrange lines on a shared map to represent task force movements, creating uncertainty about opposing forces without hidden counters or a referee. Naval engagements, intercepts, and convoy actions resolve through maneuver, detection, and battle mechanics informed by plotted courses. Includes multiple scenarios and solitaire options, player aids, task force displays, wood movement segments, and optional advanced battle rules to model the operational and tactical decisions of the period.
