La Guerre Navale: The French Fleet in World War II (2012 Standard) (2013)

Overview

La Guerre Navale tells the story of the French Navy in WW II, a major fleet with first-class ships and well-trained crews that was robbed of its chance to defend France by the German Blitzkrieg of May 1940, its ordered destruction at Mers-El-Kebir by the British leadership, and its scuttling at Toulon in defiance of the Nazis.

Twenty-two scenarios provide historical battles and hypothetical engagements that explore alternate paths of WW II naval history. This 128-page booklet also includes sidebars and other historical text that places each battle in context, as well as complete Admiralty Trilogy annex specifications for the French, Italian, Siamese (Thai) and US ships that are needed to fight the battles. Several hypothetical units are also included in the annexes.

The foreword is by noted French historian Alexandre Sheldon-Duplaix.

The information in this booklet is not only compatible with Command At Sea 4th edition, the data is now in the same format and uses the same standards as 'Dawn of the Battleship, Fear God & Dread Nought, and Harpoon, the other core games in the Admiralty Trilogy.

La Guerre Navale has been updated to use the 2012 Standard, an improved formula to calculate a ship’s damage points.

Please make sure that all ships on both sides in a scenario are using either the older 2006 Standard, or the new 2012 Standard.
