## Description
Submarine is a tactical wargame that puts you in command of a submarine during World War II. While one player takes on the role of the submarine captain, moving secretly across the board, others control convoys and escort ships, trying to locate and neutralize the underwater threat. The tension is constant: the submarine player must plan their movements in advance using a hidden movement system, while the other players rely on sonar and direct sight to hunt them down. The game includes detailed rules for different nationalities, anti-submarine warfare systems, historical scenarios, and even the creation of your own scenarios. With mechanics like programmed movement, hex grid, and naval combat simulation, Submarine offers an immersive and strategic experience for wargame fans.
