Description

War at Sea is a strategic wargame that drops you into the midst of World War II's naval battles, where you'll navigate the Atlantic and Mediterranean seas as one of two players. With easy-to-learn rules, you'll be moving your ships from home ports to contested areas in no time, vying for control of the seas. Each turn, you'll engage in battles that can last several rounds, with the winner earning Points of Control that bring them closer to victory. As you play, you'll need to outmaneuver your opponent, using dice rolling and area movement to outwit them. The Allied player has the added challenge of escorting convoys across the Atlantic, with big rewards for successfully delivering them to England or Russia. With its simple yet strategic gameplay, War at Sea is a classic wargame that's been thrilling players since 1976, and its simulation of World War II naval warfare makes for a uniquely engaging experience.
