WW2 coastal action in which each player runs either a PT-boat on the Allies side or an S-boat on the Axis side. There are also a few other surprises as one side tries to escort its convoy and the other side attempts to stop the convoy. Scale is 1/300 so the boats are sizable and the action is simple, fast, and furious.
