Strategy & Tactics S&T #48 Sixth Fleet Modern Naval unpunched FS

Description: Strategy & Tactics #48 Sixth Fleet US/Soviet Naval Warfare in the Mediterranean in the 1970's Sixth Fleet is a simulation of operational naval warfare in the Mediterranean based on a hypothetical war between the Soviet Union and the NATO Alliance during the late 1970's. The game counters represent individual ships or groups of ships or aircraft whose actual counterparts exist in the Soviet and NATO navies as constituted at the present time (1975). All of the essential elements of a potential contemporary naval war in the Mediterranean are depicted; including the latest aircraft and ultra sophisticated surface and submarine navel vessels. The Sixth Fleet scenarios, each of which is a complete and separate game, simulate various periods in the war in which the initially inferior Soviet Mediterranean Squadron is reinforced from the Black Sea and attempts to seize control of the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean and disrupt the vital communications lanes between Europe and the Middle East. Scenarios: Ten turn Beginning Scenario which simulates the initial three days of a Mediteranean conflict Twenty-one turn Campaign Scenario simulating a full week of operations Contents include: Rules (originally bound in) 21" X 33" map Depicting the Mediterranean Sea east of Algeria and north into the Black Sea 200 die cut counters Each game turn represents eight hours of real time Each hex represents 45.4 nautical miles across Counters represent ships, ship groups and aircraft.
