About the game
Best of the Naval SITREP collects articles on naval history, technology, wargaming techniques, book reviews, and of course, scenarios for Command at Sea and Harpoon (we hadn’t published FG&DN yet). First published from October 1994 to October 1997 (issues #1 to #13 of the Naval SITREP), the twenty-plus year old articles have been updated the current edition of the rules. Some articles that covered then-new foreign platforms have also been updated to current statistics, so that the reader can compare what we knew at that time with our current intelligence. Other articles describe how we calculate to create the gunnery ratings used in the games. —description from the publisher
