Having played the beta copy to death, it combines the intensity of Harpoon with an accessible interface.
Seriously, I've been looking forward to this game since it was announced.

So it sounds like a go... I liked Harpoon, especially the big scenarios.
Nice interview, Jim. Thanks.
Really excited about this one !
I'm looking forward to it, sometime.
But not having NTDS, or smaller unit symbols (those look HUGE!) makes me sad. :-\
How full-featured is the editor in it? There is an editor, right?

The symbols are actually pretty small. I took the shots zoomed in. No editor yet.

No editor from what I've read, but scenarios/units/etc. can be modded using xml files.
I'm really looking forward to playing and modding this. Looks like it will be easier to get into then harpoon.

Nefaro's eloquence fascinates me.

Arctic Circle up for Pre-order - releases tomorrow:
http://www.gamersgate.com/DD-NWAC/naval-war-arctic-circle
The bad news - it is Steam attached (if you didn't know already).
Definitely on my to buy list as long as initial reviews are good.
I played a bit of the early beta but haven't had time for the later ones with the updates. From what I've been hearing I'm sure the actual game will be great.

So when does it actually get released? 18:00 UTC as usual?
Or immediately when the Steam servers in the U.S notice it's the 10th :P
you can buy it on gamersgate now - at least here in blighty you can
Yeah - I see it's available on GamersGate !! :) Must pick it up !

You can buy it here as well (from GamersGate).
Except Steam doesn't have it yet, and the game uses Steam as a DRM.
I'm not sure that Steam needs to list the game in order for you to play it. Try inputting the serial number and see what happens.

Yeah, I just did an install but Steam won't activate it !
Dev says actual release time should be at 10am PT

Well crap. I should've read this forum first. I bought and downloaded through Gamersgate and, at 7 am PST, the game activated on Steam just fine for me, except it's the beta version.
so whens it actually 'out'?
having been bitten by the ProN release on steam and not getting any of the beta patches until they went official i wanted to avoid a steam purchase - is that not an option?
Guys,
I have no official info but when I was playing the beta last week, they admitted they were still working. My Steam account says it's a pre-order coming soon. They pulled my beta. Yes, I fear everything Paradox will require Steam.

The game requires Steam for sure. If you go to Gamersgate you'll see the DRM is Steammworks.
Yet Steam still doesn't list the game at all, and the forum for Naval Warfare on Steam is for a completely different (arcade) game.
Install's f%$ked right now. If you try to install the GG version on Steam, it tells you pre-order is still locked and asks if you want to install the Beta. Then it refuses to let you do that either.
EDIT: Steam client finally updated at 10:30. Half hour late, but the game's installing now.
It's now up on Steam and they fixed the issues I had last week.
