Ensign

You are one of the admirals of the major belligerents of the Second World War. You must command your navy on the high seas to complete strategic objectives to secure ultimate victory. You will be gathering intelligence, establishing fleets and battle groups, and relying on the courage and valor of your fighting men to win the day. Manage your economy, adjust your tactics, and with a little luck victory may be yours. This is a game where you will be building a deck of cards. The deck represents a series of ships and aircraft that are available for your use this round. Initially the forces will be evenly matched, but once the initial objective board is selected each side may receive certain advantages be it economic or offensive. Each admiral will have to choose how best to achieve the objectives marked for their side, be it through heavy fleet assets or swarms of aircraft or a combination of both. The player that reaches the end of each line of objective markers for the second play mat achieves victory. —description from the designer
