Published within A Book of Sandhurst Wargames.

A simulation the naval campaign around northern Norway. 1941-45.

Fjord is designed to represent a complete campaign which lasted for nearly four years and involved hundreds of ships. The overall game is played as a series of several small games some of which represent a sequence of action at the strategic level ('convoy operations') while alternate ones represent tactical actions (fjord raids) against Tirpitz in Altenfjord. In both types of action the rules for concealed movement are especially important.
