Шаблон:Italic titleAxis & Allies Naval Miniatures: War At Sea is a standalone miniature wargame, produced by Wizards of the Coast.

Rules

War at Sea uses fairly simple rules. The players can get quickly familiarized with the Quick Start Guide and then continue with the Advanced Rules.

The advanced rules have been periodically updated, beginning in July 2007, with the Clarifications Document. The update introduces new concepts (such as ASW harassment and strafing penalties) not present in the original rules. Since at least one unit of the Task Force expansion set directly refers to these new rules, they are implicitly considered as part of the core ruleset, despite only having been published online to date.

There are some companies and blog sites that offer other ideas for Battles, advanced rules and tactics as well.

Errata

An official FAQ for the Task Force set can be found online.[1]. It addresses errata such as misprints and ambiguously worded rules for the Task Force expansion. Further errata are contained in the Clarifications Document. Only additional unacknowledged errata are listed here:

  • The correct name of the Dutch submarine is HNLMS Zwaardvisch, not Zvaardvisch.
  • The Focke-Wulf Fw 200 reconnaissance plane was nicknamed "Condor", not "Kondor".
  • In the War at Sea base set and the Flank Speed expansion, the colors of the Italian roundel were inverted. The roundel in Task Force was correct. (This error is partially acknowledged in the Clarifications Document.)
  • In the expansion Flank Speed, the set checklist lists Шаблон:Ship as part of the Soviet forces, but the actual ship included in the set is Шаблон:Ship. Both are Шаблон:Sclass heavy cruisers of the same series and are considered sister ships.
  • The Шаблон:Ship miniature is actually the Шаблон:Ship. Yamashiro should have the third turret pointing towards the stern. FusōШаблон:'s third turret points toward the bow.
  • The Шаблон:HMS miniature is actually that of her modernized sister ship Шаблон:HMS, and not the unmodernized HMS Repulse.
  • Some Шаблон:HMS miniatures have the island installed backwards.
  • Some Шаблон:USS miniatures have no island installed.
