This is technically a Campaign book for Naval Thunder rather than GQ, but the conversion is easy enough if you look it up online. Anyway I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the Kriegsmarine and/or the Atlantic Campaign of WW2. It covers 1939 up to the Fall of France and allegedly they're planning on other books to cover the rest of the war. So it covers both the early commerce raiding and the Norwegian campaign. It's sort of in the format of a choose your own adventure book with events happening by a combination of die rolls and player choice which can lead to engagements on the table. The German player is mostly seeking to gain points by sinking Merchants rather than a head on clash with British warships. I think it's pretty great and nicely integrates historical events like the sinking of the Royal Oak with plausible alternate history options (like when to recall raiders or what ships to sortie). I really hope we see further books like this but either way this is great on it's own. Here's the wargame vault link: https://www.wargamev...lantic-Campaign
