Modern Naval Battles is a game in which players use cards to sink each other's ships. [1]

Reception

Brian Walker reviewed Modern Naval Battles for Games International magazine, and gave it 3 stars out of 5, and stated that "the game is quite fun to play and inevitably provokes lots of whinges and vindictiveness from those types who don't know any better. However, it lacks that certain something which made Enemy In Sight such a joy." [1]

The Chicago Tribune said that "Modern Naval Battles is a simple, playable card game designed for quick play but surprisingly subtle." [2]

A casus belli is an act or an event that either provokes or is used to justify a war. A casus belli involves direct offenses or threats against the nation declaring the war, whereas a casus foederis involves offenses or threats against its ally—usually one bound by a mutual defense pact. Either may be considered an act of war. A declaration of war usually contains a description of the casus belli that has led the party in question to declare war on another party.
