What is Naval Action: A Simple Combat Resolution System for Model Fleets of the 1898-1945 Era
A relatively fast and simple naval miniatures (or boardgame, if you want to grid it) set of rules. Each simultaneous-movement turn is 5 minutes of real time. Floor scale is 1 inch per unit, while tabletop scale is 1 centimeter per unit. Ship statuses for all World War 2 ship classes are provided, as are 5 sample scenarios, including Denmark Strait, where Bismarck sank Hood.
Torpedo tracks are laid out before pre-plotted movement, so "friendly" torpedo hits (in addition to those from malfunctions) are a real possibility.
Air and sub/antisub rules are simplified.
