What is Blue Water Navy: The War at Sea about?
Can the Blue Water Navy deliver the convoys that Europe desperately needs, or will the Red Banner Northern Fleet smash them at sea, allowing the Red Army to steamroll Western Europe?
The Blue Water Navy covers the sea, air, close-ashore, and low-earth orbit wars, from the Kola Peninsula in Russia to the Mediterranean Sea and over the Atlantic Ocean to the United States and Cuba. This game simulates the full order of battle that could have been expected during wartime in the 1980s, from Soviet Tu-22 Backfire bombers to multiple US carrier groups.
The game is card-driven, with each card providing points for moving units or triggering special events such as ‘KGB Assassinations’ and ‘Space Shuttle’. In addition, most cards can be used in the other player’s turn in order to perform a spoiling event such as ‘Raid Aborts’ or ‘Friendly Fire’.
