About the game

What you do in a play session

In 'By Stealth and Sea', you take command of an Italian frogman unit during World War II, piloting manned torpedoes on dangerous missions against the Royal Navy. The game blends tactical strategy and cooperation, with a campaign system recreating nine historical attacks. Each mission requires careful planning: you allocate action points to move your torpedoes, evade enemy defenses, and attempt to sink valuable ships. As you progress, you upgrade your technology and train your crew, but the Royal Navy doesn’t stand still – each victory makes the next attack harder. With multiple maps, random events, and the tension of dice rolls, every game is a new battle against the clock and enemy defenses. Can you surpass the historical achievements of the Decima Flottiglia MAS?
