Picket Duty, Fletcher-class DD facing kamikazes on Okinawa, very detailed boardgame and card simulation of a destroyer defending the US Fleet of aproaching kamikazes. Very probably worth of viewing:

There was a spamming/posting to our Facebook page today for an in-development new game. Looks worth some investigation to me, one developer with some devoted fans. http://project-neptune.com/

Does anyone here play this or have ever done so?

Can anyone recommend a modern naval board game that can be played in under 2 hours?

This title was released a few weeks ago and apparently has its lineage in Crisis Korea. I have a basic scenario physically set up, map table restrictions , a solo vassal campaign of Tactical Surprise beginning and a turn or two into a vassal "learning" campaign scenario of Strategic Surprise. Pretty need operational level game. Ground centered. Air in the advanced game can be pretty detailed, Naval is there but obviously not the focus. CBG, SAG's and Amphibs. http://www.gmtgames.com/p-306-next-war-korea.aspx Snippet of around DMZ north of Seoul.

Has anyone played this game? I'm thinking of laying out the money to buy it for COVID enforced isolation. Just curious as to thoughts on the game and whether anyone who has tried it would recommend the game. Thanks.
