Naval Thunder: Battleship Row
Naval Thunder: Battleship Row brings exciting World War 2 action to your tabletop! Whether you are a fan of majestic battleships or powerful carriers, Naval Thunder: Battleship Row is fast paced, and easy to learn, and gives you the opportunity to recreate the famous naval battles of the Second World War, or to create your own! Extensive research to ensure the rules produce historically congruent battle outcomes is integrated into the rules "behind the scenes."
The combat system has been lovingly crafted to recreate the feel of naval combat. There are no abstract attack values or tables to cross reference. When you fire a broadside of 16" guns at a distant battleship you will roll a die for each gun in the broadside, quickly determine if each shell hits, and whether it penetrates the armor of the target to inflict critical damage. The process of combat resolution is exciting and its speed leaves you free to focus on commanding your battlefleet and wrestling with tactical decisions… instead of math.
