About Submarine
Submarine is a tactical wargame of World War II submarine warfare. One player assumes the role of a submarine captain, while others are escort and/or convoy commanders. The submarine location is kept secret with the submarine player using plotted movement for the submarine and any torpedoes. The escort/convoy players move their ships on the board. When sighted or picked up by Sonar/Asdic the submarine will then be placed in full view on the map board as well. The game includes rules for different nationalities, various anti-submarine warfare systems, historical scenarios, night-fighting, and Design Your Own scenarios etc. Avalon Hill Complexity rating - 8 Game Scale: Turn: 30 seconds Hex: 100 yards Unit: Individual submarines / ships
