Why, do you probably think, a submarine for Cruel Seas? the rules don't include real submarine warfare as written. And Yes you are right but the "Boot" is so iconic for WWII naval warfare that i had to do one. I use rules proposed by David Manley in his rules for coastal warfare ( Action Stations). They can be incorporated or combined with Cruel Seas. So there are quite a lot of U Boat models in 1/350 ,like the one below made by Revell, but they are not waterline and basically to small for my taste.
You can see clearly how much longer and wider the model is in comparison . More pictures and info on link |

That's cool! There's an old black and white British film called 'The Key' ( link ) in which there's an action sequence between an Admiralty tug and a surfaced German U-boat; always thought it could make an intriguing game. The film is pretty good; plenty of period atmosphere and it's not a typical war film as it deals mostly on themes of loss, fatalism and detachment. Nick |

There were a few times in the Med where British MTBs tangled with U-Boats on the surface at night. |
