"Nichols, W. J. Grey Seas, Grey Skies. Bridgewater, Nova Scotia: Simulations Canada, 1983, 1987 (Apple computer game). Reviewed by John Gresham and Michael Markowitz. Proceedings (July 1984): 116–117. (Seven “prebuilt” scenarios, including Japanese destroyers versus Soviet submarines in the Kurile Islands, a Soviet amphibious group versus West German forces in the Baltic, U.S. versus Soviet carrier battle groups off the North Cape, and similar clashes in the Western Pacific and the Mediterranean.)"
