Close The Atlantic: World War Three
A modern naval combat wargame depicting a potential World War III between NATO and Russia. The main focus is convoy operations in the Atlantic, with additional scenarios covering battles in the Baltic Sea and Mediterranean. Players conduct weekly turns, moving naval units, submarines, aircraft, helicopters, and missile forces. Ground combat is abstracted, while later scenarios introduce air and missile strikes against front lines. Three scenarios can be combined to represent a wider war across Europe, with weather and seasonal conditions affecting operations.
