Victory at Sea anyone heard of this one ?

[jameseviltwin]

As I said, the sandbox-y campaign stuff is what grabs my interest most.  The example of escorting Atlantic convoys is encouraging. Sounds like fun.

I hope you'll like it!

Welcome aboard James. :) I'm glad you've had the opportunity to tell us more about your game. If this goes well, will you be doing one set during WW1, or as an expansion to the main game?

Yes we are actually discussing the other eras this could be set in ;)

Looks quite decent to me! I'll put it on my wishlist and watch its developments with interest.

We don't currently have plans for a demo. But that could change.

it looks alright, at first i thought it looked similar too much to pacific fleet on itunes, or battle fleet, but the larger scope and rts format makes it more appealling!

No it's not like pacific fleet at all. I have that game so wanted to do our own thing.

The game is getting bigger as well! Gonna have to stop adding to it soon! It's now got 80 shop classes in it!

Hey folks - we're working with James and the gang (not The James Gang, or the other James Gang) on some material around the new game.

What's the one thing about the game you most need answered that would decide whether or not you're plunking down your shekels for it?

It has sandbox play, so I'll get it at some point in my gaming schedule.

After picking up Pacific Fleet on my iPad, and having a fun time with it, I was wishing for something more. I'm not a huge fleet campaign guy, though I've helped work on documentation for such games before (War in the Pacific, Harpoon). Funny, doing those manuals really turned me off from epic, grognard naval-based games, but I've always had a love for naval board games like 5th Fleet.

Something like PF was great for a quick fix, but I found it lacking pretty quickly; guess I want more, and this looks like it might be just enough without having to get too groggy about it. Appreciate the info, I'll definitely put it on my radar.

Yeah that was part of the brief in my head that it was a game you could play for 10 minutes or 10 days!
