Action Stations: Atlantic -- Core Rules

ADD TO WISHLIST >

ACTION STATIONS: ATLANTIC --CORE RULES is a tactical naval wargame rules system set in the World War II era.  Individual warships (presented on counters at approx. 1/4500 scale) are rated in a variety of offensive and defensive categories. Scenarios recreate several naval encounters, such as River Plate, the Rawalpindi incident, Denmark Strait, and others, involving German and British and French fleets.  Action Stations: Atlantic is a complete introductory level game that simulates naval combat in the World War II era, using a slightly modified Battleship Captain 3rd ed. standard rules game system.

Warships (battleships, battlecruisers, pocket battleships, heavy cruisers, light cruisers, destroyers, destroyer escorts, frigates, corvettes, torpedo boats, armed merchants, merchants) are provided.  Playability and historicity are emphasized, with small or large battles playable to completion in an evening.  Each game turn represents 10 minutes, and one inch on your floor or tabletop represents 500 yards.

Standard rules and all game tables are included in the 48-page illustrated rule book, along with game tables, dozens of ship counters and game markers, designer's notes and historical commentary.  This is a complete rules system, and does not require anything else (apart from dice and playing space) to play.  This introductory edition does not include advanced or optional rules but these may be incorporated from Battleship Captain 3rd ed.

Also included are a set of four ACTION STATIONS: ATLANTIC ship counter sheets (#1 through #4) containg over 75 ships, 172 game markers, and reference card presented in a convenient format.

Available for purchase separately is the ACTION STATIONS: CONVOY module that contains additional scenarios, 12 counter sheets (over 470 ships), and which is fully compatible with Action Stations: Atlantic --Core Rules.

Action Stations: Atlantic -- Core Rules is now available in PDF format.  Designer: Gary Graber.  Publisher: Minden Games.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
