Product Description
Theme: WW2 Solitaire
The Hunted is a solitaire tactical level game placing you in command of a German U-Boat during WWII. This is the long-anticipated companion game to the award-winning, multiple-print edition release The Hunters, and picks up the action where The Hunters left off. You command one of many U-Boat models available starting in 1943 and look to successfully complete U-boat operations until the end of the war.
