Description

Get ready to set sail for intense naval combat in the Far East with 7th Fleet, a game of modern naval warfare. Published in 1987 and designed by Joseph M. Balkoski, this game lets 1 to 2 players take command of task forces, maneuvering ships, submarines, and air wings to outmaneuver their opponent. With a range of units from the US, Japan, Soviet Union, and China, among others, players must use their strategic skills to detect and attack enemy forces. As players navigate the hexagon grid, which represents the Pacific ocean, they'll need to manage their units' various ratings, from surface-to-surface missile combat to detection and movement. With optional rules for nuclear weapons and logistics, and scenarios ranging from 90 minutes to several days, 7th Fleet offers a challenging and immersive experience for fans of modern warfare and nautical games.
