Iron Coffins is a tactical-level, narrative-style solitaire wargame using a tables-based game engine simulating the German Kriegsmarine U-boat war against Allied shipping in the North Atlantic during World War II.
As the captain of a Type VII U-boat during 1940-1943, your ultimate goal is to locate and sink as many enemy Allied ships as possible, while at the same time bringing your U-boat and crew safely back to base after each patrol.
It won’t be easy due to persistent enemy aircraft and escorts continuously hunting your U-boat, but the German people are depending on you.
Don’t let the Fatherland down!
With most of the rules integrated into the tables, there is practically no learning curve or rules memorization.
And with water depth rules, compressed air rules, oxygen rules, numerous crew skills, weather effects, random events, and a multitude of table modifiers, Iron Coffins offers memorable experiences and high replay value.
Are you ready to serve the Fatherland and defend Germany against the onslaught of Allied shipping?
