Description (561 chars)

Strategy & Tactics magazine #72. Armada is a grand strategic simulation of the two critical years in the Anglo-Spanish conflict that raged into the opening years of the Seventeenth Century. Emphasis is placed on the financial planning that was concomitant to any campaign. Each Player, but especially the Spanish, has substantial resources. However, just as in the historical situation, each Player must carefully plan a cost-efficient strategy. [-from the rules 1.0] The first edition rules were unworkable. A second edition set of rules was issued by SPI.
