ABSTRACT:
A strategic naval warfare board game includes a game board having a playing surface with compass headings and position indicia. The playing surface has a plurality of squares of alternating colors arranged contiguously in a checkerboard fashion and naval bases at the corners. A plurality of primary playing pieces, representing five different types of naval vessels, include a base member and a post of different heights mounted on the base member in an upright position. A plurality of secondary playing pieces in the form of cylindrical rings are adapted to be loosely mounted on the posts of the primary playing pieces in a stacked arrangement and removable therefrom. The ring-shaped secondary playing pieces represent either a unit or power or a unit of damage. A stacked arrangement of secondary playing pieces which represent units of power on a primary playing piece is indicative of the relative strength of the primary playing piece for movement, fire power and repair. Aircraft squadrons operate from six different altitudes. Submarines operate from six different depths. The objective of the game is to capture an opponent's naval bases.
