War at Sea 2

About this expansion

War at Sea 2 is a two-player expansion for Avalon Hill’s War at Sea, a game of World War II naval combat in the European theater. Released in 1977, it is designed for a play time of approximately 90 minutes.

This expansion brings together a wide-ranging compendium of variants originally published in The General magazine, along with additional new elements. The collection expands the ways players can approach the original naval combat game while keeping its focus on the European theater of World War II.

The included variants cover several distinct subjects and source issues:

• The Mediterranean, from Volume 13, Number 3
• The French Navy, from Volume 14, Number 3
• Additional material from Volume 14, Number 4
• Additional material from Volume 15, Number 1
• The Russian Navy, from Volume 15, Number 3
• Additional material from Volume 15, Number 5

War at Sea 2 includes a 22-by-24-inch unmounted mapsheet, a counter sheet, and three player aid cards. Two of the player aid cards provide Allied orders of battle, while the third provides the Axis order of battle. A rulebook contains the material needed to use the expansion.

For players looking to explore more content for Avalon Hill’s original naval combat game, War at Sea 2 offers a consolidated collection of magazine-published variants and new additions in one expansion. Its focused two-player format and European theater setting make it a dedicated companion to War at Sea.
