GWAS: Cruiser Warfare

At the outbreak of World War I, the German Navy had a squadron of cruisers, considered the finest in the world, stationed in their colonies in Africa. The commander, Spee, decided to return to the homeland rather than wait to be overwhelmed by superior allied forces. He made his way though pacific, but was finally caught and destroyed near South America. This is Cruiser Warefare, the game where you can take command of the German fleet, as they raid commerce and steal across the world's oceans, or the allies, who want to keep this potent force from linking up with the home fleet.

Great War at Sea is played on two maps: operational and tactical. Fleets move on the operational map until contact is made. At that time, ships of the respective fleets are put on the tactical map where the fighting is resolved ship to ship. All capital ships are portrayed, as are squadrons of destroyers. For World War II fans, the Second World War at Sea system uses similar rules. Players who master one system can easily learn the other.

The Great 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.

Cruiser Warfare is a core module. It contains everything needed to play.
