Read the full game description
Wolfpack recreates German U-boat operations against North Atlantic convoys from late 1941 through early 1943. One to four players command submarines cooperatively or solitaire while the game system controls merchant ships and escorts. Each mission moves from contact and approach through torpedo-data calculation, attack, evasion, damage control, and crew management. Tactical choices feel concrete—angle, speed, range, torpedo solution, and escape route all matter—yet automated charts keep the convoy battle moving without an opposing player. Individual scenarios teach the system, while the campaign links patrol results and the changing balance of the Atlantic war.
