This is my go-to game for WWI fleet scale naval games. This game is by no means a rivet counter - but has enough meat in it to really feel like you are controlling fleets in WWI. The card activation system makes each game unpredictable which adds to the suspense. Gameplay is relatively quick with squadron sized battles taking about half an hour to major fleet actions taking a few hours.

You will need dice (lots of d6's) and a standard deck of cards to play this game. You'll also need some time and access to a colour printer and a good pair of scissors to prepare all the counters you need to play.
