About this game
This post-WWI title features a one-on-one duel between a U-Boat and a merchant ship. It has a four-panel board in heavy card stock showing the Western Approaches (the waters around Southwest England, the French coast and the Channel Islands. There two playing pieces are metal, and take up three squares on the board.
Mechanism
Roll and move
Rules
Each player in turn rolls one die and moves that many squares. The count is from the ship's bow and moves are orthogonal, so turning a ship is gradual. The merchant player starts from the western edge and must reach port in either Southampton or Le Havre to win. To sink the ship, the submarine player must have the merchant directly in front of its bow, and then roll a number equal to or greater than the distance between its bow and the nearest square of the ship.
