Amazon.com Review

688 Attack Sub is an exceptionally realistic submarine simulation, designed in large part by former Navy command officers who knew how to include everything but real-life tedium. The creators of this strategy guide maintained the feel of realism beautifully. Open the book and it looks and feels almost like a training manual with briefing documents. Almost, that is, because like the missions themselves all the boredom factors have been removed. The text is concise and clear and just military enough for satisfying role-play. Particularly interesting are the articles on real-life submarine issues that are reflected in the simulation.
