In the game, players can takes command of ships and squadrons of aircraft. The ships run the range from aircraft carriers and battleships, to cruisers, to destroyers, to submarines, to auxiliary ships and even motor torpedo boats.
My main fleet is the French Navy, which works great as it can be used as either Allied (Free French) or Axis (Vichy France). I have the complete set of official offerings:
- Algérie (Cruiser)
- Béarn (Aircraft Carrier)
- Casabianca (Submarine)
- Dewoitine D.520 (Fighter)
- Dunkerque (Battleship)
- Jean Bart (Battleship)
- Gloire (Light Cruiser)
- Lamotte-Piquet (Cruiser)
- Milan (Destroyer)
- Strasbourg (Battleship)
- Provence (Battleship)
- Richelieu (Battleship)
- Suffren (Cruiser)
- Le Terrible (Destroyer)
- V.156 Vindicator (Torpedo Plane)
The biggest issue now is that the game was released in 2007, but only lasted with official releases until 2011. This means obtaining the models at reasonable prices can be hard. The others in our group have bought some of the more inexpensive offerings from Ebay and other online dealers and inherited some of our more least-played fleets.
We are looking forward to more multi-player games and I'd also like to try out a Battle of the River Plate scenario, as we have the ships top recreate that fateful battle....
