SS Amerika

SS Amerika (formerly entitled Case Geld) is an operational level game of hypothetical Axis invasions of North America in the World War II era. Based on actual plans and historical data, SS Amerika includes such critical factors as mobilization, national morale, technological developments, and specialized units. Both Basic and Optional rules are provided.
