Sub-titled: "Present Day Tactical Naval Combat". Beginning with an excellent introduction about the evolution of 'Ships' from the "Post WW-2" era up until the 'present'-(circa 1979), and with some possible 'future' contingents. This is a set of RULES for use in conjunction with "Modern Naval Miniatures"(or 'counters') up to a scale of '1/1200th'-although others can be adapted for use as well. This is slightly larger than the norm-('11'&-3/4 by '8'&-1/2) sized "Rulebook" compilation, of 70-pages in length, with a 'slick'-cover for the contents. There is a 'section' which details just what will be required to enable any "playings" for this. Interspersed within the "Rules" are some "Tables" for comparison & explanations, with 'examples' also being shown. From page '42' and on, there are various "Charts", "Tables", the "Tactical Data Display"-sheet 'example' provided, the 'Bibliography', "Designer's Notes", with the "Table of Contents" on the last back '2'-pages for this. The scale given is '1'-vessel per 'mini' OR "counter", '2'-minutes per Turn, '1'-inch = 2,000 yds(m)-can also be scaled where more room is permitted.
