My Games

"Sea Wings" is a game of aircraft carrier warfare in World War II.  It is of moderate complexity, and is designed for play between two players.  The game is designed for play on a 4 by 6 foot tabletop.  The game scale is 4 hour turns, with 1 inch equaling 24 nautical miles in the playing surface.  The game units are individual ships and air points representing 6 aircraft each.  Ships can be represented by cards (provided below) or miniatures.

In these rules, please ignore references to chance cards.  The chance cards will be implemented later.  

This is a revised version of the game.  The previous version was designed for play on an 8 1/2 by 11 inch grid, and was more abstract.
