Torpedo Run! is a 1986 board game published by Milton Bradley. It was released as a part of the "Floor Wars" series of games. [1]
Torpedo Run! plays on a 34½ × 46½ inch game board, intended for use on the floor. [1] Game pieces include 2 battleships, 6 cruisers, and 2 submarine shooters. A total of 36 plastic ammunition chips can be loaded into ship pieces to be fired during the game. [2]
Torpedo Run! has three main styles of play. The first is "All-Out-War," in which players fire a supply of 18 ammo chips at their opponent's battleships, aiming to hit the targets on each one. Ships may be reloaded with ammo as the game progresses. The player who successfully knocks out the other's ships first wins the game. In the "Out-Of-Range" game, each player is equipped with 14 ammo chips. Similarly to the All-Out-War Game, players fire at each other's ships in succession, however, rather than reloading when ammo depletes, after both players run out of chips, a ceasefire begins. In the ceasefire, ships are assessed for "damage," which decides whether or not pieces may be moved. The game continues until all ships have been eliminated. The third variety of gameplay is the solo "Target Practice" game. The object of this game is simply to knock as many targets as possible using all 36 chips. [2]
Stratego is a strategy board game for two players on a board of 10×10 squares. Each player controls 40 pieces representing individual officer and soldier ranks in an army. The pieces have Napoleonic insignia. The objective of the game is to either find and capture the opponent's Flag or to capture so many enemy pieces that the opponent cannot make any further moves. Stratego has simple enough rules for young children to play but a depth of strategy that is also appealing to adults.

Z17 Diether von Roeder was one of six Type 1936 destroyers built for the Kriegsmarine in the late 1930s. Completed in 1938, the ship spent most of her time training although she did participate in the occupation of Memel in early 1939. At the beginning of World War II in September, the ship was initially deployed to lay minefields off the German coast, but was soon transferred to the Skagerrak where she inspected neutral shipping for contraband goods. In late 1939, the ship helped lay an offensive minefield off the English coast that claimed seven merchant ships.
