AGAINST THE ODDS #34: Right Fierce & Terrible

1-ATO034

The 100 Years War naval battle off the coast of Flanders in 1340. The Battle of Sluys was a decisive victory for Edward III that gave the English command of the Channel and insured that the rest of the war would be fought on French soil. Includes archery, ramming, grappling, and desperate melee, aimed at wearing away the enemy fleet's morale.

Color 22 x 34-inch map and full one-inch counters. The 'battlefield' of harbor and estuary is 'built' as the game progresses, meaning that no two experiences will be quite the same. Seven scenarios allow you to explore the questions that have puzzled historians for years, and the two to three hour game play and quick-set-up diagrams mean you can try one approach and swap sides to try another, knowing much will be different this time around. Edward III was wounded at Sluys but won one of his most important victories. Can you change history?

Also includes solo wargame in which a player flies WWII Luftwaffe ME-109s and FW-190s against a crippled B-17 heading back to base.
