We don't write many wargame reviews here on Theology of Games, but the truth is that I (Firestone) enjoy the occasional conflict simulation. The wargame I've played the most in the last year is The Hunters: German U-Boats at War, 1939-43, from GMT Games. This is a solitaire game where you play as a U-Boat captain during World War II. You'll go on patrols, attempt to sink Allied ships, and try not to get sunk. So is The Hunters the bomb, or does it get Das Boot? Let's find out!
