Great War at Sea: Cruiser Warfare
Commerce raiding in 1914-1915. German and Austro-Hungarian cruisers seek out Allied shipping across a world map, while British, Japanese, Italian, Russian, Dutch, and other Allied forces search for and destroy them. Players move through sea areas, use modified search rules to locate enemy ships, and resolve battles with the standard combat system. The German player must disrupt commerce and attempt to bring the cruisers home, while the Allied player works to track them down.
