Compass: Blue Water Navy Restock

Blue Water NavyThe year is 1983 and the headlines read:‘NATO intelligence reports the mobilisation of Soviet front line divisions’ ? Daily Telegraph‘Unmistakable signs of preparation for war’ ? Der Spiegel‘Soviet leader Andropov details ‘largest ever’ summer training exercise’ ? Le Monde‘Shultz returns from Moscow ? United States sets DEFCON 2, declares intent to defend Europe’ ? New York Times.‘Soviet tanks smash through border defences!’ ? BBCJune 15th 1983: NATO fights the fight it was created for and the fate of the Free World hangs in the balance!Will the Blue Water Navy deliver the convoys desperately needed in Europe or will the Red Banner Northern Fleet smash them at sea, allowing the Red army to steamroller Western Europe?Blue Water Navy covers the war at sea, air, close-ashore and low-earth orbit from the Kola Peninsula in Northern Russia to the Mediterranean Sea and West over the Atlantic Ocean to the United States and Cuba. The game models the full order of battle that could be expected in 1980’s wartime, from multi-regiment Soviet Tu-22 Backfire bombers to multiple US carrier groups.The game is card driven, with each card providing points to move units or trigger special events such as ‘KGB Assassinations’ and ‘Space Shuttle’. There is also a reaction mechanic where most cards can be used in the other player’s turn to perform a spoiling event such as ‘Raid Aborts’ and ‘Friendly Fire’.The heart of the game is detection. Task Forces can only be attacked once detected. By contrast, land air-bases can always be attacked ? their enemy knows where they are. The race to detect opposing Task Forces begins as soon as they enter potential striking range of units such as the formidable Soviet bomber formations, or perhaps the Soviet’s submarine fleet which, whilst it has considerable strength, cannot effectively detect enemy forces without help from its comrades.NATO must not only deliver convoys, but also protect its allies! Norway will be hard pressed, as will Denmark. Both will require urgent reinforcement. In the Mediterranean Sea, Soviet forces must be halted by naval aviation strikes. In the deeper seas, NATO may enact it’s promised attack on the Soviet nuclear deterrent and the Soviets may attempt to respond. Perhaps the Typhoon SSBNs will flee under the Arctic ice to await doomsday, or hole-up in the White Sea. Perhaps the Soviets will use nuclear weapons and scatter those NATO forces that are no-doubt determined to bomb the Soviet’s Kola Peninsula bases.The game models Politburo approval (Soviet leadership) through a stability mechanism, and whether the Soviets feel they can reduce New York to cinders through the use of ‘First Strike Points’ ? these allow the use of things like chemical or nuclear weapons. The game has spies, technological theft, satellites, B-52’s, special forces and Soviet spy trawlers..Complexity: 6 out of 10 (medium)Solitaire suitability: 6 out of 10 (medium)Time Scale: Each turn = 1 dayMap Scale: Each area represents 500 nautical miles squareUnit Scale: Each counter represents 10 ships, 3 submarines, one squadron or regimentNumber of Players: 2Playing Time: 1-3 hours for scenarios and 8-16 hours per campaign gameDesigner: Stuart TongeComponents:2 map4 countersheets: counters are a mix of 1 inch, 5/8″ and ?” markers2 decks of 55 playing cards6 double-sided player aids2 single-sided player aids1 rules and scenario booklet10 ten-sided dice1 box and lid set

　先人のレビューのとおり、ふにゃふにゃに柔らかいスポンジです。その柔らかさゆえ、車のボディーを傷めないという安心感があります。　その柔らかい特性からか、吸水力が凄いです。洗車作業中、スポンジが重く感じるほどです。　このスポンジは、ボディーとの接地面が、でこぼこしていますので、平面のスポンジのように、洗車の際に、泥や埃を挟み込んでの傷が付きにくいように感じます。　改善して欲しい点もあります。　今まで使用していたスポンジに比べて、柔らかすぎますので、持ち手側の方を固めのスポンジ素材にしていただければ、使い勝手がアップすると思います。　あと、色が濃いグレーですので、スポンジ自体の汚れ具合がわかりにくいように感じますので、この点は、一般的な黄色の方が良いように思いました。　いろいろ、好き勝手を述べましたが、さすがソフト99の製品です。総合的には、気に入っています。

よく出来たレ－スですが、取り付けるのが難しそうで、まだ使っていません。

デザインは良いのですが商品の包装がビニール袋に直接メガネ本体を入れてある為、小キズが着いていた。また、保護袋も付属していない。

案外どらえもんのグッズは売ってなかったりするので、とてもかわいかった。雑炊やお茶漬けするので、こういうスプーンでどらえもんなのでとてもかわいいし活用しているようです。
