I hope this is the start of a series about forgotten battles. Stalingrad, Iwo Jima, Market Garden, D-Day. Finally they can have their long deserved day in the sun.

Hey submarinies!

Quote
Some have called it the most crucial campaign of the Second World War.  It was not fought on the ground with tanks and artillery; it was the Battle of the Atlantic, pitting the German wolfpacks versus the allied convoy system. Upon the result of the campaign hung the fate of Great Britain, and, by extension, the Allied cause in Europe.

Atlantic Wolves presents an example of an attempted historical naval blockade that almost succeeded. The game allows the player to explore the constraints and difficulties of enforcing a blockade with limited resources and an ever-closing technology gap. That players take the roll of the German commander is an artifact of history with respect to the war fought in the Atlantic.

And as a solitaire guy, so will I. That one doesn't look interesting to me in any way.

No, I don't think I would find that very............immersive.

There's a folio game I got last Christmas called Battle of the Atlantic. Pretty simplistic but very easy to get into. Very challenging as you have to generate high totals of tonnage to come anywhere near victory, and that means taking a lot of risks.

I almost got that during the last GMT sale. It's 'only' $40 right now though on GMT's site.

And you laugh at me...lol

The block system/non-solo play kept me away. I know that's not an issue for you though.  ;D
