Hi there!
I'm glad you like the idea behind the game
It is almost ready and will be releasing either late December or early January. Here's a link to the most recent update on the project:

We hope this game will appeal to subsim fans, as it is a completely new take on the subject, albeit with some traditional subsim components. I guess it is safe to say that it is the first board game ever to deliver a near-Das Boot experience on the tabletop. It is not meant to rival Silent Hunter - that is nigh impossible for a board game, but because gameplay is so co-op oriented and it actually requires a lot of knowledge and skill to play, then I guess this has a chance of bringing subsim fans together at the table.
I mean, why play alone if you can do so with your friends?
