BattleFleet 1939 Campaigns, Missions and Scenarios

BattleFleet 1939 shipped with four strategy campaigns, a set of standalone missions, and separate death-match and Free Hunt scenario sets, playable as the United States Navy, the Kriegsmarine, the Royal Navy or the Imperial Japanese Navy. Missions ranged across both the Atlantic and Pacific theatres and covered objective types described in the BattleFleet 1939 manual — conquering ports, defending them, destroying a set number of enemy ships, escorting a convoy or eliminating an entire enemy force.

Campaigns

The Imperial Japan Navy campaign is recorded elsewhere on the site at 7 missions rather than 9; the site's version history shows the campaign was extended by two new missions in the October 2003 (v1.75) update, which accounts for the difference between the earlier and later figures.

Standalone Missions

Each standalone mission carried a single named objective type — Conquer, Defend, Destroy Class or Escort.

Death-Match Scenarios

Death-match scenarios had a single win condition — destroy every enemy ship, aircraft and artillery piece before the last turn ends.

Free Hunt Scenarios

Free Hunt scenarios shared the death-match win condition, but only Minor Victory or Victory were achievable — Major Victory was disabled for this category.

Player scores and rankings for these campaigns and missions were recorded on the BattleFleet 1939 hall of fame, and the ranks earned through them are set out on the BattleFleet rank list. The game itself is described in full on the BattleFleet 1939 game page, and its release history is covered on the strategy game demos page.
