Bismarck: The Last Battle is a solitaire game covering the last 5 days of the most feared German battleship in WWII. The game utilizes a card-driven battle system revolving around Bismarcks operations, and provides the player with naval combat and damage control decisions as Bismarck and Prinz Eugen attempt to breakout into the Atlantic or reach safety in the port of Brest.
While extremely competitive as a solitaire game, Bismarck : The Last Battle is quite addictive for the player, as every repeatable battle is a struggle to survival. The card-based battle system is a different take on the normal event/operations points-driven systems. Separate card decks are created for each game turn, in a total of 5 decks, including enemy units (carriers, planes, destroyers etc.) and events in a 100% historical approach.
Units comprise five different types:
Carriers
Battleships
Battlecruisers
Destroyers
Airplane Bombers
Special rules are provided for Repairs, Fire, Damage Effects, Hull Meter, Weather Condition Track, Deck & Flak Gun Attacks, etc.
The main target of the player is to sink enemy warships, shot down enemy bombers and try to survive after the last 5th turn, to win the game.
Good Hunting, Captain
