Torpedoes and Tides: A WWII Coastal Forces Wargame

Torpedoes and Tides is a quick play miniature wargame about night actions involving motor torpedo boats during the Second World War. It puts the focus firmly on command decisions and tactics and aims at giving a fast game that mirrors the frantic and chaotic nature of coastal forces actions. It uses an activation mechanism that rewards risk-taking and keeps the players focussed on decision making instead of book-keeping. This book contains all the rules needed for tactical combat, 4 generic and 4 historical scenarios, a full campaign system and 160+ unit profiles covering all major and several minor countries that took part in World War II. Although based on the same engine seen in Galleys and Galleons and adapted to WW2 technology, this is a complete, standalone game. No other books are required.
