    No recent wiki edits to this page.

      A player can play one side: Red or Blue, in a simulated naval combat situation, both local conflicts,  as well as the confrontation of the superpowers. Missions differ from small missile boat engagements to large oceanic battles with ten's of vessel's and hundred's of aircrafts.    
     

    Overview~

    Sitting in the frigid waters off the Norwegian Sea, you guard the coastline and begin to plan a full-scale naval assault on the enemy. Suddenly, sensors report a hidden submarine 60 degrees port side and a fleet of enemy ships 92 degrees starboard. Knowing that the best defense is a  goos offense, you decide to attack.  And now, armed with an arsenal of over 100 high-powered weapons, you proceed to destroy everything that stands in the way of total sea control.
