Hunters on the Shoreline is an attempt to provide a set of fast, east to use miniatures rules that will accurately reflect the quick, vicious battles between light naval forces. It is designed for use with P.T. Dockyard 1/600 resin miniatures. The tactics used in these operations were much different from standard naval tactics. Actions took place at point blank range (many MTB captains kept grenades handy on the bridge for ready use) and were often measured in minutes.

The focus is primarily in the European Theatre, but the rules are equally useful for actions between PT boats and the Japanese Navy.

In addition to the rules and miniatures, you will need an area at least 6′ by 4′, a metric tape measure, turn radius circles, and at least 2-4 each of 4 sided (d4), six sided (d6), eight sided (d8), ten sided (d10), twelve sided (d12), and twenty sided (d20) dice as well as making a few simple templates as described in the rules.
