Product Description
Cone of Fire is a boxed game for both the Second
World War at Sea and Great War at Sea series. The fleets
of Argentina, Brazil and Chile plus those of Peru and Uruguay are added to both
series, along with ships from Germany, France and Britain. Most of the
scenarios, or game situations, are based on hypothetical situations arising from
the actual war scares between the South American nations and sometimes European
interlopers, and the war plans with which they addressed them.
There are also scenarios based on the actual conflicts
which took place in South American waters: the hunt for Admiral Maximilian Graf
von Spee’s German cruiser squadron in 1914, and the hunt for the cruiser that
bore his name 25 years later.
Alongside the ships actually operated by the South American
naval powers, there are also ships they ordered and did not receive, or
contemplated but did not order. The Brazilians have several projected classes of
battleships that they never completed, as well as the modern warships they
sought from the U.S. Navy during World War II. Argentina and Chile have their
projected battleships, carriers and cruisers as well. And there are the actual
jet aircraft flown by Argentina and Brazil.
There are six maps, three at Second World War at Sea scale,
and three at Great War at Sea scale. These cover the region from south of Tierra
del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the Americas, to well north of Rio de
Janeiro. There are huge stretches of ocean as well as the narrow, winding
channels of the Chilean coast.
