The Strategem Classic Grandmaster Platinum Edition of
Bull Halsey's Advanced Super Feature-Packed Mega-Battleship 1990.
More so today than ever before, the ability of a nation to project its
influence across the globe is directly related to its naval prowess. A

which puts YOU on the bridge.

o TANGLE with Libyan gunboats.
o SPAR with dubious radar contacts.
o CORNER the world market on crucial war materiel like oil and mangoes.
