📖 About This Game
"No Safe Port" is a board game covering Operational and Tactical-level naval combat during the Second World War.
"No Safe Port" is designed to cover many of the major navies that fought during WW2 and includes submarines, carriers, aircraft, battleships, battlecruisers, heavy cruisers, light cruisers, destroyers, coastal batteries, land units, and more. User printable data/record sheets show the combat details of each individual class of ship, sub, and aircraft, each with a side view graphic. Solitaire and multiplayer rules are included.
This is a significant revision of the original 'NW:WW2' game series, and adds additional details and rules to the system (including floatation loss and individualized weapon data). The Rules are modular, allowing for Basic, Advanced, and Optional/Expanded rules systems that you can choose to use or not as you wish.
This game is professionally printed with mounted couters and full color heavy cardstock maps. The 'data cards' from the previous game series has been discarded in favor of user-printable data sheets on a CD-ROM included with the game; each sheet contains combat logs for up to 7 ships/subs or squadrons of aircraft.
