Not sure I can reveal too much about the game, but some of the old band from AE is back along with some new folks.

Re: Apply to Test Our New Unannounced Game
I'm not sure what can be divulged about this game at present but would be really keen to know if the naval aspect of the war will be represented - and if so, will this be on an individual ship basis? Thank-you in advance.

Hi Brian - thanks for your prompt response to this and my other non-related question. I understand you are limited as to what can be said, so I will take the last part of your response as a Yes

BTW, if anyone is interested in the naval aspect of the war, they might like to try the excellent:
The Fleet That Fought Itself (Heinz)

Hi Brian - thanks for your prompt response to this and my other non-related question. I understand you are limited as to what can be said, so I will take the last part of your response as a Yesand hope that I am not being overly optimistic. The Spanish Civil War was a very interesting, complex (and tragic) episode - and despite the fact that many historians are dismissive of the naval aspect, I think there is plenty to war game in addition to the land/air side.

Re: Apply to Test Our New Unannounced Game
Is it still possible to apply? The link in the posting doesn't work and I'd be very interested.
