The famous Unites States Naval War College wargames have been seen
as an important part of the US Navy's preparation for war with
Japan. The actual naval commanders took lessons from these wargames
into the conflict in the Pacific 1941-45. This book makes the 1936
edition of the tactical rules readily accessible for the first time
to the public. It includes the detailed rules for movement,
gunnery, damage and other aspects of real naval warfare from the

strategy and tactics in the comprehension of these complex
subjects. The book includes: Original guidance from 1922 on how to
play the game. Sample gunnery tables. Torpedo fire cards. Rules for
visibility and smoke. Details about speed and fuel. Sample ship
cards to illustrate how the rules worked. The book is published by
the History of Wargaming Project. It is part of a series to
document key steps in the development of modern wargaming.
