Devil Boats: PT Boats in the Solomons

About this board game

Devil Boats: PT Boats in the Solomons is a tactical-level solitaire tabletop wargame for one player, with sessions lasting about 60 minutes. Set in the Solomon Islands during the second half of 1943, it puts you in command of a squadron of US Navy PT boats.

Take on Japanese naval forces in encounters shaped by a variety of threats, including IJN barges, destroyers, and aircraft. The game focuses on the challenges of directing a PT boat squadron in a demanding naval environment, where conditions and damage can have a meaningful impact on play.

Detailed systems model both the environment and the boats themselves. Weather and sea state add changing conditions to the action, while the PT boat damage modeling tracks the effects of combat on your squadron.
