This game design reflects the results of a surprise Iranian missile attack upon the USN moving through the Straits of Hormuz to the Persian Gulf. Units are rated for ECM, strength, AA, AS. While the Iranians do have the capability to attack with their missiles (and be successful), their speed boats must actually attack on suicide missions ramming ships and exploding on impact. The whole battle is interesting and scarey because the game depicts the reality that is frightening-closing the Straits of Hormuz even for a few days would send oil to record levels and cause a world reaction.
