Hi, guys!

During last 2 years we investigated how simulations were used in trainings of naval officers. We found a book dated with 1848, in which Russian naval officer described invented by him naval game proposed to be used for these purposes.

If you are interested in it or in a modern game originated from it, please follow a link (it includes both): http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bombat/admiral

Thanks, Max.

Thanks for the tip, Max. If you're not aware already, we run a bi-weekly Kickstarter-ish column entitled GARPA. I'll be sure to point this out to the authors.

Nice. I'm impressed with your system for movement. That's clever.

Thanks!

At forst we thought to make hex (6 sided space): it allows not to use orthogonal and diagonal directions, but equal ones. But as the game was intended to be a serious game, decided to be in line with 8 directions on a compass like in real life.
