Second World War at Sea: Bismarck

WWII in the North Atlantic for SWWAS. Players command German and British naval forces across a large operational map, tracking warships, conducting raids, and pursuing targets through the waters from north of Iceland to Spain. Surface combat is resolved on a tactical hex map, where ships maneuver and use gunnery and torpedoes to inflict engine, hull, and armament damage. Twelve scenarios cover the Bismarck chase and North Atlantic operations involving Admiral Hipper, Admiral Scheer, Gneisenau, and Scharnhorst.
