What is Atlantic War, 1914-18
A fairly fast abstracted World War 1 Atlantic war campaign game. Like Atlantic Convoys 1939-45, no grid necessary. (Max. of 3 convoy lanes plus Murmansk Run. Independent sailers ... sail independently, as does the hard-to-catch special Transport convoy.)
9 half-year turns. Half as many dreadnoughts and battle cruisers (in proportion) for playability.
Convoy and Grand Fleet escorts linked as in the rationale for the Admiralty opposing convoys, until losses became so horrific in 1916, by which time there were more escorts/destroyers.
So if destroyers are stripped from the Grand Fleet early in the war, German torpedo boats get that many free shots at British ships out in the North Sea.
