Second World War at Sea: Alternatives for ''Deutschland''

Our 24th issue looks at the designs considered by the German Navy for their Deutschland-class armored cruisers, the famous “pocket battleships.” You get 20 new Second World War at Sea pieces, with six different versions of the ships plus the original design for the Scharnhorst class.

Design studies took two variant paths: an armored coast-defense ship for operations close to its bases, and a long-range commerce raider (the variant eventually chosen).

Our Alternatives for "Deutschland" variant gives you all three ships eventually built in all six variations. Some hewed to the restrictions of the Versailles Treaty; most did not. The designs range from heavily-armored ships with 15-inch guns to unusual heavy cruisers with 8-inch main batteries. And of course we have some Plan Z-related scenarios and scenario modifications for their use.
