Game Details

Iron Bottom Sound 2 is a tactical simulation of night naval surface combat in WW2. Iron Bottom Sound 2 captures the flavor of bloody night surface battles fought off Guadalcanal. A past property has been succeeded because it focuses it on the combat at nighttime though the system was greatly changed from the Ironbottom Sound. The only fault of this game should be very large the size of the map board, and widely take up the place where it plays. Moreover, it is necessary to confirm it before it plays because the correction is necessary for the table relation though somewhat. Game system Basic System is Fleet Admiral.
