Jutland
# 703 Dunnigan's first design for the Hill. Since this game has no board, I suppose that it could not be called a board wargame. Should be played on the floor. Ugh!
It is May, 1916 - while the British, French and German armies are hopelessly deadlocked on the Western Front, the British fleet in the North Sea has effectively closed down Germany's foreign trade with a naval blockade. Germany is starving; the war will soon be over. The use of German submarines to blockade England would only bring America into the war. Her last chance is with her High Seas Fleet - second only to Britain's in numbers - second to none in the quality of fighting ships.
Can you do as well as the original commanders, Britain's Jellicoe and Germany's Scheer ? Can you win a decisive victory in a massive engagement that... 'held such great promise but degenerated into a hopeless deadlock' ? Play Jutland and find out....
Playing time : 2+ hours. Complexity low-medium.-Nephilim
