Secret Submarine Bases – Global War™ 1936 Expansion

Expand your naval strategy with Secret Submarine Bases, a Historical Board Gaming expansion for Global War™ 1936 v4.3. Establish remote submarine bases, deploy additional submarines, and create new opportunities to threaten enemy shipping and defend important sea routes.

Each purchased scheme grants a secret base and one submarine, with a die roll determining the location. Eligible bases offer submarine movement benefits, defensive scrambling, and protection for submarines in port. Protect the surrounding territory—enemy occupation can cost you the base.

• 1 US Gato-class submarine — Olive Green

• 2 UK T-class submarines — Tan

• 1 Netherlands O21 submarine — Bright Orange
