This is a two-player, operational-level simulation of the historic campaign to sink the Nazi battleship Bismarck in 1941. It models all the crucial aspects of air-sea warfare during World War II, while
retaining tactical ship versus ship elements. Both players maneuver their units on a colorful map sheet of the Atlantic. The "fog of war" is cleverly handled through the use of "dummy" task forces and pre-plotted German
movement.
Both historical and hypothetical scenarios are included. The latter explore alternative orders of battle that might have been, such as the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau sailing to join the Bismarck. Each hex
represents 75 nautical miles, and each turn represents eight hours.
