Hey gang,

A friend that I am playing JT's Campaign Series with PBEM was wondering if there was a Naval equivalent. Ideal I would be interested in a tactical game of naval combat focusing in small fleet (or large fleet I guess) tactics when the shells really start flying. Is there such a game? Most games I see are generally Operational or Strategic in nature. Also I tend to prefer turn based games as they work for PBEM. The historically period is not really a big concern.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Duncan

There was one called Steel someting or other,but it was well buggy.There is Destroyer Command from Ubisoft which can be linked to Silent hunter 2.

There hasn't been a good tactical ship war game sense Action Stations or the old SSI's Great Naval Battle Series.[:(]

Have you tried Uncommon Valor or Harpoon CLassic?

Check out the Naval Warfare section at NWS.
I'm looking forward to SAS Supremacy At Sea.

Must be for console kiddies because, I never heard of it! [;)]

That series was a lot of fun, but I could never get the European campaign to run.

I thought that one came out already... 1994 or so

If you are a naval gaming enthusiast, then you should take a look at Distant Guns, and Jutland, by Storm Eagle Studios. Jutland is supposed to be released later this summer. There used to be a trial downoad for Distant Guns-maybe its still available. These games are "real time", but you should take a look-amazing detail.

What about silent hunter 3 & 4?

After installing the NWS FSP mods to Fighting Steel it worked for me in XP (it may not work for everyone though!). FSP mods also kills the bugs and adds lots of new ships and features.

Eagle Games have certainly put a lot of effort into putting off people buying their games.

Harpoon CE gets my vote.

I completely agree on both points.

I really have tried to like Harpoon CE,but i am afriad its a lost cause.

Can anyone give me the 411 on this? I've almost bought this  numerous times
