📖 About This Game
RAF Coastal Command is a tactical-level, narrative-style solitaire wargame using a tables-based game engine simulating RAF coastal patrol operations around England and the Mediterranean.
As the pilot of an RAF Coastal Command Lockheed Hudson patrol aircraft during 1942-1943, your ultimate goal is to sink as many German Kriegsmarine U-boats as possible, while at the same time bringing your aircraft and crew home safely after each encounter.
It won’t be easy, but England is depending on you. Don’t let her down!
