You are Captain Nemo and you control the Nautilus. You travel the world’s seas, hunting and sinking the navies of the imperial warmongers.

We Sing Our Interplay Song!

Interplay, Interplay, Interplay!

Interplay all day long!

Interplay, Interplay, Interplay!

We sing our Interplay song!

(Honest to goodness, that’s the actual Interplay theme song. I blame Bill Dugan and Jaegermeister. I think you can find a copy on an original Castles MacPlay 3.5″ diskette as a deleted file.)

I’m working for Interplay again. On Project V13, a massively-multiplayer post-apocalyptic role-playing game. Yay! We just launched our new website. Yay! Finally. Yay!

Fleets 2025: East China Sea

Fleets 2025: East China Sea is now shipping from Victory Point Games!

This is a hex-and-counter wargame designed for new players and fans of the consim experience. It’s a smaller game, easily playable in an hour or so (depending on the scenario). The rules are straightforward and easy to learn. It’s a card-driven wargame with tactical combat. Cards have multiple uses — they can be played for events, operation points to order units and to perform searches to discover the location of enemy units.

There are three types of units: aircraft, ships and subs. Units have stats for movement, range and combat strength. Symbols on the unit represent bonuses or restrictions against other types of units.

The setting is a hypothetical conflict set in the near future, 2025, in the East China Sea. One player controls forces of the US Navy. The other player is in charge of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN). The conflicts revolve around Taiwan. The political will of each combatant is vital. If a player loses too many units, or if their political will weakens, they will stand down and give their opponent the victory.

Fleets 2025: East China Sea comes with die-cut counters, cards, player aids, rulebook and a 17″x22″ full-color map for $22.95.
