Played a few more turns night before last.

Despite using an “aggressive” posture for all submarines, the Germans had a very difficult time attaining the tonnage sunk figures needed to attain victory.   And, this is a period when Allied AWS capabilities are relatively low.

Well, maybe that’s just fine.  Maybe it would have taken quite a bit of good fortune to win the Battle of the Atlantic (BOAT), just like Barbarossa.  Do you want play balance, or something akin to historical conditions?   Or, is it playability?

I think Grabner’s BOAT does a nice job of providing solitaire playability with abstract historical conditions.  Is it a simulation?  No, but it is an interesting way to spend an evening or two.
