Some ships are unarmed freighters – what are these used for?
We have a game called “campaign” in which cargo ships are used to alter the strategies needed. Each fleet has to defend their own cargo ships, while trying to sink the opposing fleet’s cargo ships or warships. It is an interesting game, but it requires a relatively large number of captains to make it interesting and it has a complex set of combat rules. In recent years, we have also developed some simpler versions that combine the tactics associated with cargo ships, without all of the original “campaign” rules. (In the standard campaign game, cargo ships can carry supplies or “troops” to multiple bases, and the troops can be used to seize an opponents bases.
