Description
U.S. Navy Plan Gold covers the planned for, but never fought, battle
between the U.S. and France after World War I. Although
strong allies, military planners on both sides feared a radical change
of political alliances following the Great War and planned accordingly.
Both countries anticipated a similar chain of events, which
allowed the game designers to make a remarkably smooth adaptation.
Of all the hypothetical conflicts that have designed for game
plan, this is perhaps the most realistic series.
Ships from France and the U.S are presented here, many of which were
never built. They were designed and budgeted for, but were
never built due to political treaties at the time. Still, war
planners could expect them to be built should the political situation
turn hostile.
U.S. Navy Plan Gold is complete by itself, but
uses the same
core
rules that other games in the Great War at Sea series uses, so players
that master Plan Gold 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
miles of
terrain.
The GWAS 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.
