The Box
Axis and Allies Naval Miniature’s motto on the back of the box is “Collect, Battle, Recreate.”
There’s a lot to read on the box – and there’s a lot to do in the game – it’s a short, elegant naval tactics game for a slow afternoon.
Play time for a game if you’re an experienced tactical game player is two to three hours, give or take a depth-charge attack on a sub.
What you get in the box - pieces and tokens. (Not shown - Rulebook and paper maps)
It’s best to thumb through the manual and acquaint yourself with the game mechanics – there are nuances you want to be familiar with, such as one unit attacking can only attack one other unit; you can’t train your main guns on one ship and your secondary guns on another ship in the same turn.
Rulebook.
Unfold the paper map, place your ships and other assets, roll for initiative. The game moves quickly through a tight sequence of layered moves and attack in each player’s turn, with damage for all units on both sides accruing at the end of the turn – if you sink a ship at the beginning of the turn, it can still fire on you until the end of the turn.
Game in Progress
War at Sea is fun, fast-moving, complex enough so you have to think through a series of moves, but simple enough that the game can be learned as you play. Indeed, there is a quick-start scenario in the rules book to help you do just that.
