Escort convoys across the Atlantic, and protect them from the Uboat
threat. Atlantic Sentinels is a solitaire, tactical level game placing you as
the Senior Officer of the Escort, shepherding a convoy in the North Atlantic
from the attacks of U-boats, both singly and in wolfpacks. You are in command
of a convoy escort group, composed typically of 4-10 escort vessels guarding a
convoy on its way across the Atlantic. Your mission is to protect as much
Allied shipping as possible while simultaneously destroying as many U-boats as
possible during the height of the U-boat threat? 1942 to early 1943. Atlantic
Sentinels provides players with a host of decisions as he is assigned to
protect merchant convoys, typically ranging from 40 to 60 ships. The placement
of escorts to offer front, rear, and flank protection to the convoy is
complicated by the size of the convoy and available assets. Additional
decisions must be made on where to place the escorts, which are equipped with
Type 271 radars, the key to your defense. Players will find it highly
challenging to minimize convoy losses and keep them to an acceptable
level. Players may choose any of 10 historical Escort Groups (five British,
four Canadian, one US) armed with historical destroyers and corvettes. Atlantic
Sentinels: North Atlantic Convoy Escorts 1942-43 is meant to be a highly
playable and interesting solitaire game covering the actions an Escort Group
would have to deal with in fighting the U-boat peril during convoy escort.
