I received the game Modern Naval Battles: Global Warfare as a Christmas gift and finally was able to give it a test run today. I only played one scenario, but I think that this game is very good overall. It is a card-based game, not a miniatures game. It may seem strange that a card game gets a spot on a miniature wargame blog. Thanks to the long range and speed of modern aircraft, missiles, and torpedoes, simulating modern naval combat on a tabletop is just not practical. And this was the first real day off that I've had since starting school again, so this is really all I have to write about right now! I can't speak to how accurately this game simulates modern naval warfare since my background is with the Army. The rules were simple and easy to learn. The game also seems to play fast. The test games that I played were all complete in 30 minutes or less. Perfect for those of us with limited hobby time!
A write up will follow soon.
