Description

"Steel and Resolve" is part of our Naval Warfare series of next generation comprehensive naval wargames covering entire time periods of naval combat. Easy to learn yet fun to play and detailed for the scale represented thus giving quality combat results. "Steel and Resolve" is designed to cover many of the major navies that fought during WW1 and includes submarines, seaplane carriers, aircraft, dreadnoughts, pre-dreadnoughts, battlecruisers, armored cruisers, light cruisers, destroyers, coastal batteries, land units, and much more! User printable data/record sheets show the combat details of each individual class of ship, sub, and aircraft, each with a side view graphic. Solitaire and multiplayer rules are included.

This is a significant revision of the original "NW:Naval Warfare" series, and adds additional details and rules to the system (including floatation loss and individualized weapon data). The Rules are modular, allowing for Basic, Advanced, and Optional/Expanded rules systems.

This game is professionally printed with mounted couters and full color heavy cardstock maps. The 'data cards' from the previous game series has been discarded in favor of user-printable data sheets on a CD-ROM included with the game; each sheet contains combat logs for up to 7 ships/subs or squadrons of aircraft.
