RE: What old games should Matrix snap up next

Action Stations! Alan Zimm's naval surface warfare sim from the 80's is still the best at depicting naval warefare from the CIC view.

RE: And this is what?

Raverdave, I hope Australia had better luck with the C models than we had with the Ds. If any aircraft deserved the nickname "earth-pig", it's the 111d...

RE: Jutland, anyone??

<t> I bought Jutland back then, but then I'd buy just about anything that has the word "Jutland" on it. This particular game has decent graphics, but the AI is TERRIBLE! For example, playing the Germans at the Falklands, to escape all you have to do is turn a couple of points and Sturdee sails off ...

Problem with SeaLordsWW2

<t>Von Rom:<br/>
<br/>
The SeaLords mods for DC look interesting, however, when I downloaded and installed SeaLordsWW2 from their site, DC now locks up when I try to click on the various stations. I searched their site for any help, there doesn't seem to be any. I thought I would ask you to see if ...

<t>Roger on the request for a new naval surface warfare sim. I remember the good ol' days running Warship and Battle Cruiser. When Action Stations! came out, I thought it was too good to be true. I wrote to Alan Zimm back in 90 (?) to see if he had any plans for a WWI game in the AS format. He said ...

Bombing Bridges

<t>Being a naval surface warfare fan, this ground combat is new to me. The WIR manual says you can set the mission of your aircraft to interdiction and then bomb bridges. When I do that, put the cursor on the bridge and press enter, I get a "Not allowed" message, even if the target is well within ...
