Reviews
Fast, a bit abstract but in a way that preserves the "feel" of naval wargames while focusing on the bigger picture of battles. Not the best rules for lone battleship duels, but excellent for fleet action and managing carrier fleet engagements.
Rating after several readings of the rules and half a campaign played. 2 relatively simple but subtle systems to deal with the huge mess of a ww2 naval campaign and some specific tactical engagements in a very reasonable time. Fun, solid, and giving imho realistic results. I recommend. Nimitz with its tactical and campaign systems is to ww2 naval warfare what Blücher is to Napoleonics.
Excellent way to play a naval miniatures game in a reasonable amount of time without be overwhelmed by rules and charts.
Played an introductory scenario, and enjoyed it so much I bought the rules.
The tactical rules are simplified, but not simplistic. The real clever stuff is the campaign system which lets you fight a naval campaign in a long evening
