Description

Dreadnoughts brings out the 2nd and 3rd generation dreadnought class ships.  Articles, scenarios and counters are provided for the Spanish Armada of World War I (including designed but never  built ships) and the Ottoman Turkish navy.  Also included are designed, but never built, ships of the Austro-Hungarian and several South American navies.  Scenarios include historical and hypothetical engagements.

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.

Dreadnoughts is a supplement, ownership of Jutland and Mediterranean is required to play.
