Bismarck Solitaire

Take command of the formidable pride of the German Navy in "Bismarck Solitaire," an innovative book-wargame crafted by Worthington Publishing. Assume leadership of the esteemed vessels Bismarck, Prinz Eugen, and receive U-boat support as you embark on a pivotal endeavor: challenging the resolute Royal Navy with a singular objective – to send the Bismarck to the depths!

Within this captivating game, you are presented with 8 diverse missions, each carrying distinct objectives and degrees of complexity, alongside two training cruises to hone your skills. Every mission grants you three attempts to outwit the Royal Navy. These missions encompass an array of tasks, from locating convoys to sinking British warships, or even guiding your vessels through perilous sorties with the hope of survival.

"Bismarck Solitaire" employs a pen-and-book wargame format. Enclosed within the book, you'll find a comprehensive map and essential orders. As the game unfolds, you'll employ dice rolls to unveil events, orchestrate ship movements, engage in battles, and navigate event resolutions. The sole requisites for your journey are a pair of dice, a pen, and a zest for adventure.

Each turn follows this sequence:

1. Roll two dice and consult a chart to unveil events.
2. Resolve the unfolding events.
3. Engage in any battles that arise.
4. Plot your ship's movement on the provided map.

Every mission offers a distinct set of victory conditions. Once these conditions are fulfilled, the game culminates. The allure of "Bismarck Solitaire" lies in its replayability – no two games are alike. Thus, missions can be replayed countless times, each experience distinct from the last.
