John Tiller Software Naval Campaigns Wolfpack

U56 · 12-01-19, 12:15 PM

This game has just been released, according to blurb can be played from both the submarine side and the ASW side. Includes 50 scenarios from single unit to wolfpack convoy attacks, and 2 campaigns, one based on Gunther Prien, the other covering 1940-45 in the Atlantic. Interface looks like all the other J Tiller games, hope the AI is a little better!

So far no reviews on this game, but there may be some on the older games in the Naval Campaign series. Anyway could be interesting for sub simmers looking for a different angle on things.

Best Regards.

I would be interested in hearing any thoughts on the game, also. I'm tempted, because I don't know of another game that simulates the Battle of the Atlantic from the allied side. However, I'm reluctant to buy because of both the price ($40) and I wasn't too impressed with JT's Jutland when it came out 17 years ago. Has anyone given it a try? If so, what are your thoughts?

I read the review. It sounds like the chief reason to buy Wolfpack is that it allows you to play as the escorts. That is not a minor thing, as that makes Wolfpack the one computer game that I am aware of that allows that. I may have to buy it, if for no better reason than to support the team that made it.

In case anyone is interested, I have published some of my own scenarios. Link on my signature.
