In this solitaire wargame, the play simulates the British raid on the Nazi-occupied French port of St. Nazaire held on March 28, 1942.
In the first part of the game, you move the British boats and destroyer HMS Campbeltown (redressed to look like a German ship) to their landing areas while determining the results of many shots from the harbor defense guns. Upon landing, the remaining force tries to reach targets (Sub pens, caissons, docked ships, supply tanks, etc.) and destroy them.
The German guards are handled by the system and arrive via random draw and placement and move by most direct route to the nearest British commando. As the game progresses, the units are better organized and tougher.
The game ends when all British units are killed or escape and they score for the targets destroyed.
