Battlegroup

The start of World War Two (1939-1945) expanded the speed and power of global warfare. The fleets of the world's navies combined the awesome firepower of traditional battleships with long-range bombing strikes from aircraft carriers.

Battlegroup players determine when and how to seek combat; to use daylight for smashing carrier air strikes through defending fighters and dense antiaircraft fire; or to use the dark of night for quick and devastating surface attacks using the battleships' big guns. Submarines, destroyers, mines and torpedeo boats also all play their roles.
