• Cold War Naval Wargame – Recreate hypothetical Mediterranean conflicts between NATO and Soviet forces during the 1970s and 1980s.
• Deluxe Updated Edition – Features updated rules, improved artwork, a mounted game board, new counters, player aids, and additional campaign analysis material.

Sixth Fleet Deluxe Edition explores the dangerous naval balance that existed during the later decades of the Cold War, when the United States Sixth Fleet and the expanding Soviet Navy faced each other across the Mediterranean. Any confrontation had the potential to escalate into a massive regional war.

The game system is based on Red Dragon Rising, using an action-driven system where movement and combat are closely linked. Players must manage fleet operations, electronic warfare, submarine threats, and airpower while attempting to secure strategic sea and land areas.

The combat system models multiple forms of warfare, including anti-surface, anti-aircraft, anti-submarine, and ground attack operations, with electronic warfare capabilities playing a key role in target acquisition and combat sequencing.

This deluxe edition is ideal for Cold War enthusiasts, naval history fans, and players seeking an accessible yet deep operational-level modern naval wargame.
