Description Edit | History

Fleets of eleven nations vie for control of the Mediterranean Sea, with players ages ten & up taking command of their nation’s destiny at sea.

The first of the Great War at Sea series.

The first edition (Great War at Sea, Vol. I) was published in 1996.

The second edition (Great War at Sea: Mediterranean; 2001) includes

  • 390 counters
  • Two 17"x22" strategic maps
  • One 25"x25" tactical map
  • Twelve-page rulebook
  • Eighty-page scenario book
  • Two organizational cards

Playing time varies from forty-five minutes to more than three hours depending on the scenario.

The reprint of second edition is slightly different (though still called second edition). This reprint happened 2006 or later as the log sheet has a 2006 copyright.

  • 490 counters (210 1 x half-inch counters, 280 half-inch square counters) - maybe the previous entry was in error as it looks from pictures to have the same counter sheets
  • two 17x22" Operational maps
  • one 25x25" Tactical map
  • now 20-page series rule book, it may be the previous entry was in error about the page count as this rule book has a 2001 copyright
  • scenario book is still 80 pages, but it's really 64 pages with 16 pages of ship data sheets bound in the middle
  • three generic GWAS fleet cards
  • log sheet (photocopy before play)
  • new art on the box top and bottom

Nominee for the 1996 Charles S. Roberts awards for Best Pre-World War II Boardgame (Charles S. Roberts Awards).
