Description

On September 18th 1941 the Italian submarine Sciré released 3 two-man crew S.L.C (Siluro a Lenta Corsa) Maiale (Pig) class mini-submarines to attack Allied shipping in what many thought was an impregnable harbor, safe from any enemy attack. The Italian raiders sank three merchant vessels; the cargo ship Durham and two tankers, Denbydale and Fiona. For their daring raid, all 6 of the Italian frogmen, as well as the entire crew of the submarine Sciré were hailed as heroes.

The active player takes on the role of the commanders of the three or four, Maiale class mini-submarines. You must endeavor to overcome the Allied defenses and night-time visibility to inflict as much damage as possible before being killed, captured or escaping, and then return to the Sciré. Can you do as well or better?

Each copy of Depths of Courage: The Raid on Gibraltar is composed of the following:

• One 11 by 17 inch point-to-point map.
• 22 double-sided, un-mounted counters
• 2 pages of rules

A player will also need a standard deck of playing cards and a six-sided die to play the game.
