Phil Dunn, author of the classic naval wargaming book, Sea Battles, has
written a new book on rapid naval wargames. Chapters include fast play
rules that allow even the largest battles to be fought to a satisfying
conclusion in a single session. In 1916, Jutland was a ‘no-hoper’ for the Germans. This was not true earlier in the war. The scenario is for a classic war-deciding encounter set in 1915. During the late 1920's, the USA made plans for war with Britain. The rules and scenario allow this classic ‘what if’ scenario of the Royal Navy to be set against the United States Navy. The outcome would have changed the political map of the world and the course of the 20th century. Also included are memories of a lifetime of naval wargaming, The book is supplemented by Paddy Griffith’s One-eyed Napoleonic Naval Rules as used by the Royal Military Academy’s Wargaming Club. Also included is an example of Paddy Griffith’s naval wargaming scenario for the Battle of the Nile in 1798.on Dunn’s concepts by the well-known military historian Paddy Griffith. The book is available from Amazon and other online retailers. |
