CARRIER BATTLE GROUP: Solitaire

1-249500

Solitaire game set during the Cold War where the player contests against the game system, fulfilling scenario objectives, randomly generated by a Mission Orders chit pull. Carrier operations are shown in considerable detail, while other US Navy and opposing Soviet actions are more abstracted. An Alert Level, representing how much the Soviet Navy's command is concentrating its resources against your task force, increases the possibility of running into enemy forces. Once contact is made with enemy forces, the game's Tactical Routine is used to resolve combat. A scenario ends when you reach your objective. Scenarios can be played individually or linked together to form a Campaign Game. Optional Rules allow for multiple players, having them each control various aspects of the US Navy force. Updates the game first appearing in Modern War #14, offering new map and counter artwork, a mounted game board, updated rules, new player aid cards, and a campaign analysis article.
