From BoardGameGeek

Advanced Salvo! European Theater is a solitaire, tactical naval strategy wargame that enables players to recreate World War II naval battles between individual allied and Axis on the table top. The design uses the Salvo! game system, adapted to a WW2 setting. (Great War Salvo! 3rd ed. is its World War I counterpart.) The game consists a 20-page rule booklet, containing all rules, game tables, advanced rules and options, scenarios, and designer's notes. Game components make up the rest of the package, with Scenario Cards, Reference Card, Sea Display, and eight warship counter sheets (sections #1-8), including ships from Great Britain, Germany, France, and Italy, 144 ship counters in all, drawn to scale. Using historically rated warships (BB, BC, PB, CA, CL, AMC types), rated in a variety of offensive and defensive categories, players can assess at a glance the relative strengths and weaknesses of each ship. Advanced Salvo! European Theater is primarily a ship vs ship solitaire game, but rules are included for two-players as well, with one or multiple ships on a side. All the major warships from each country are provided (see list below), allowing players to recreate any number of actual and hypothetical Second World War encounters. The game may be played with counters, or your own ship miniatures. The game is adaptable to miniatures on the table top, with scales of one turn equaling several minutes of real time, and each range band representing approximately 5000 yards (2.5 nautical miles). Originally published in 2015, Advanced Salvo! European Theater is now available in PDF format. LIST OF INDIVIDUALLY RATED SHIP COUNTERS INCLUDED GERMANY: BB: Bismarck, Tirpitz. BC: Scharnhorst, Gneisenau. PB: Graf Spee, Adm. Scheer, Lutzow. CA: Prinza Eugen, Adm Hipper, Blucher. CL: Nurnberg, Konigsberg, Koln, Karlsruhe, Leipzig, Emden. AMC: Kormoran, Atlantis. FRANCE: BB: Bretagne, Provence, Lorraine, Richelieu, Jean Bart. BC: Dunkerque, Strasbourg. CA: Duquesne, Tourville, Suffren, Foch, Colbert, Dupleix.
