Description

Cone of Fire explores what could have happened in South American waters.  Chile, Brazil and Argentina all built large navies and several crises did develop that, fortunately, did not escalate to war.  There are also several historical scenarios that span the eras covered by both Great War at Sea (including the search for the German East Asia Squadron) and Second World War at Sea (the search for the Graf Spee).

Cone of Fire is complete by itself, but uses the same core rules that other games in the Great War at Sea and Second World War at Sea series use, so players that master Cone of Fire need not learn anything else to play the other games available.

Each unit represents a capital ship or a squadron of destroyers.  Each operational square represents 32 or 36 miles of terrain or water, depending on the game being played.

The GWAS/SWWAS 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.

Cone of Fire is a core game. It contains everything needed to play.
