Schnell Boats: Scourge of the English Channel is a solitaire, tactical-level wargame. You, as Kommandant, will lead a squadron of 4 German Kriegsmarine torpedo boats or experimental hydrofoil boats on night missions against Allied forces in the English Channel during 1943-1944.

Sleek, fast, and heavily-armed, German Kriegsmarine Schnell Boats (or Schnellboote) were a feared and respected adversary which exacted a heavy toll on Allied shipping.

Schnell Boats covers the months from June, 1943 to June, 1944. Based in Cherbourg, France, your primary goal is to intercept and sink as many Allied cargo ships and tankers as possible in an attempt to prevent them from transporting troops and supplies to England. But that’s easier said than done, as enemy air patrols and Royal Navy gun boats will do their best to destroy you and your squadron.
