Victory at Sea - HMS Prince of Wales brings one of Britain’s most renowned King George V-class battleships to the tabletop, offering a well-armored and heavily armed vessel for Royal Navy fleets. Built in response to the looming threat of war, the King George V-class balanced speed, protection, and firepower while adhering to treaty limitations. Armed with ten 14-inch guns, HMS Prince of Wales was still a formidable warship, capable of taking on the toughest opponents.
Prince of Wales played a critical role in early World War II engagements, including the hunt for the German battleship Bismarck, where it landed decisive blows before being forced to withdraw due to damage. Later, she was deployed to the Pacific alongside HMS Repulse to counter Japanese advances along the Malayan coast. However, the emergence of air power as a dominant force in naval warfare became tragically clear when both ships were sunk by Japanese aircraft in December 1941.
In Victory at Sea, HMS Prince of Wales offers Royal Navy players a powerful and historically significant battleship, perfect for recreating key engagements or testing alternative strategies. Add this legendary warship to your fleet, available now at Boarding School Games.
