Description

This is a naval combat game designed to recreate the tactics used in the transitional period of fleet actions that spanned the era between sail and steam.

The only scenario provided in the rules covers the decisive 1898 battle of Santiago during the Cuban Campaign. The designer suggests that players consult reference works like "Jane's Fighting Ships" to create additional scenarios. The battle system uses dice and hits are determined by armor thickness and the penetrating power of the projectile.

Includes a map, 60 counters, and a 24 page rule booklet.
