Modern Naval Wargame?

[SkidLid]

I would be very interested in a pre-dreadnought era game.(Say 1860-1905).This period would chart the move from wooden walls to turret battleshjips,covering ACW to Russo-Japanese war.I'd lik real-time ,something like SSI's Fighting steel.That would be very cool.

I love the idea of a Russo-Japanese or any pre-dreadnaught game.

Yeah I have quite high hopes for it too!:)

BTW Age of Rifles was just great. If my game CD was not busted I would still play it.

That looks like JUST the kind of game I've been looking for! Thanks U2!

It's possibly an over done setting, but me, if I am going to play a naval game odds are it will have to be between 1930s and 40s to have my attention.

Modern warfare really doesn't have the appeal for me.

Today a carrier is really just a floating airbase to torment small nations, over an overly expensive target for a real military power.

And submarines today are really just floating nuclear missile bases.

Actions like chasing the Bismarck, or outwitting the Japanese at Midway are no more. And that is basically what I would expect in a naval game if I was interested at all really.

I have to agree with you Les. WWII era naval games allow for far more maneuvering, tactics, and one-on-one ship engagements than a modern naval game would.

I would like to see the ship icons of Pacific General matched with the gameplay and complexity of UV.
