Great War At Sea

Post by showboat1 »

I hate to bring up a competitor here but........

Does anyone know if they have made any of the Great War At Sea boardgames into computer games? They cover alot of the topics I like such as WWI, Russo-Japanese War, Spanish-American War, and the hypothetical wars that were planned but not fought. Or, are there any of these types of games out there? Gary are you listening? hint hint hint ;)

I believe that is supposed to be a sequel to his Jutland game. Check out HPS Sims website for more info.

so did i.

that sounded very interesting. the pre-dreadnought era has been neglected too long. Can only simm so much of it using Gary's Battlecruiser.

HINT HINT gary.....need an update on that game, preferably covering 1865 - 1945 Pacific and Atlantic and Med

I dont ask for much :D

Hey Snigbert,

I believe you are confusing John Tiller with Norm Koger. JT publishes his games through HPS and he has a naval campaign series featuring the Jutland and Tsushima naval battles.

NK is not affiliated with HPS AFAIK but is working independently on a naval game ' Russo-Japanese War' and you can find more info here;

Thanks for the links guys! Anyone know a good Spanish-American War PC game? The topic has intrigued me for years.

Hey Showboat,

Like you I have been waiting many years for someone to migrate all of the Great War at Sea games to the PC. I don't know what the market looks like for these games but I for one am interested.

For those that are not aware of these games check out the following link;

Why 1865? That would leave out the first ironclad duel in history...
