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 planned for,
but
never built.
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.
U.S Navy Plan Gold is a core game. It
contains everything
needed to play.
