Acerca de este juego

Command the pride of the German Navy in Bismarck Solitaire by Worthington Publishing. Lead the German ships Bismarck, Prinz Eugen, and U-boat support as they take on the determined Royal Navy with one goal, Sink the Bismarck! It's a sea hunt game. As the German commander you are hunting convoys and British warships. You are also hunted by the British Navy that outguns you and has every ship and aircraft it can muster looking for you. It is played by a crafty AI BOT that is focused on only one thing, Sink the Bismarck! The game comes with a double sided game board with enhanced graphics. One side of the board is the North Atlantic at a strategic level with its convoys and all the British warships involved in protecting them from the Bismarck. The other side of the game board is of the Denmark Strait where the Bismarck needs to breakout into the Atlantic and British ships are there to stop them before the make the open seas. Win by sinking enemy ships, raiding convoys and making it back to port in France before being sunk yourself. —description from the publisher

Flujo del turno

Each turn represents one operational phase of the Atlantic sortie. The player activates their German task-force units (Bismarck, Prinz Eugen, and available U-Boots) and resolves encounters with Royal Navy forces that appear in the current zone. A typical turn proceeds as follows: 1. Movement Phase — advance or hold position for each German unit within their speed constraints. 2. Detection/Encounter Phase — determine which British ships are present and in range based on the current zone. 3. Combat Phase — resolve gunnery exchanges between German and British ships; resolve torpedo attacks for U-Boot VIIC. 4. Damage Phase — apply hits to the relevant hit-point tracks on both German and British ship cards. 5. Convoy/Prize Phase — if a convoy is in the zone and no blocking British warship prevents it, score convoy hits. 6. Victory Point Update — adjust the VP track for any sinkings or convoy hits scored this turn. 7. Check for game-end conditions (Bismarck sunk, escape achieved, or scenario turn limit reached).
