Blue Water Navy: World War III – The Pacific

Cold War strategic-scale Pacific naval wargame set in 1983, 1985, or 1989. Players command US and Soviet forces across the Pacific, managing carrier groups, submarines, aircraft, missile strikes, bases, and merchant convoys between the United States, Japan, and Vietnam. Card-driven play combines movement and events, while detection determines when task forces can be attacked. Diplomacy may involve China, Japan, and North Korea, with optional scenarios and variants changing the political situation. Each turn represents two days, with scenarios lasting 1–3 hours and campaign games taking 8–12 hours.
