Set up

Playing space is any dining room table,


3’ x 3’ will do. A bit larger is better.
Players each place a ‘mainland’ area on
Sa

their side of the table, and then islands are


placed elsewhere on the table.
Each side starts with :

The HQ and other land units are placed on


land areas in the owning players half of the
map (Graphics
From the rules illustrations).

Thers is a simple card driven process to select each player’s mission including ‘espionage’ and
‘Counter espionage’ in which players may/ may not discover the opponent’s mission.
Players then have a budget which is used to add to their starting forces. So they will not necessarily be
the same forces.

Game Play

Players alternately move ships, and units until all have been moved.
Move speed is by ship type and reduces with damage. (Round Funnels
in the centre of the ship template). This ship can move 6” because it is
undamaged.

e
Players then alternately select and fire units (EG a single Ship), a group of
marines, or a land battery.

fil
Firing is by weapon type. This Battleship has a 2 large gun turrets,
4 medium Guns, and four small guns. Simple fire arc templates dictate
which guns may fire at a target.

Movement and positioning are important to winning the game. Guns have fire arcs and
guns may fire over sand and green land areas but not brown land areas (High ground).
e
Damage is recorded on the black and white printed sheets by crossing off guns or hull boxes ETC.
Reducing the Hull reduces the speed of the ship.
Winning the game is determined after an agreed number of turns and scoring is based on:
pl
• Damaging enemy ships
• Damaging enemy land units
• Fulfilling objectives – EG. Some might give double points for the destruction of a particular unit
m

type.

Playing time and replay ability :

Playing time can be controlled by limiting the table size and points allocated to players for additional
Sa

forces. A small game might take an hour.

There is plenty of scope to vary the layout of the table with more / fewer islands.

The Mission system means that players will have different objectives each game, they are unlikely to
have the same objective as their opponent, and the espionage system means that they may / may not
know what their opponent has to achieve – Espionage and Counter-Espionage does however cost
points from the player’s budget.

The following pictures illustrate the game in progress with the components supplied with the game.
Forces are coloured Yellow and Red on the Counters.
This shows the ‘Yellow’ mainland with it’s HQ, a
Marine unit and
Light and heavy gun batteries.

Two Yellow Light Cruisers supported by the heavy


land battery are trying to see off a Red
Armoured cruiser.

fil
In the example below a Red Armoured Cruiser and
Torpedo Boat Flotilla have damaged a Yellow
Battleship – which is on fire.
The adjacent Light gun battery is also damaged.
