Description

Bomb Alley covers the entire naval war in the Mediterranean Sea, from the declaration of war by Italy in 1940 to the invasion of Italy in 1943.  Scenarios include battleship duels at Cape Teulada, First Sirte, Second Sirte and Cape Matapan, convoys to Malta and the famous torpedo boat Lupo's defeat of three British cruisers.

Bomb Alley is part of the Second World War at Sea game system.  It is comprised of a series of modules that use the same core rules but focus on different theaters of the war.

Each unit represents a capital ship or a squadron of destroyers. There are two scale maps: operational and tactical.  Fleets move around on the operational maps until contact is made, and then battle is resolved on the tactical map.  Each operational square represents 36 miles of terrain or water.

The Second World War at Sea system is vast, with many modules available.  Each module focuses on a particular theme and provide counters, maps and scenarios to play.  There are two types of modules, the core and the supplements.  Core games are complete by themselves, with everything needed to play.  Supplements expand on the core modules, bringing new scenarios and unit types to the game, but require one or more core module to play.

Bomb Alley is a core game and complete by itself.
