I saw the Wolfpack video and thought "for once I'll be the first person to mention this on Grogheads"... So much for that  :grin:

I'll probably take this for a spin but with work schedules will probably be a while before I can get to it.

As part of reading about this I learned that "the other" Russo-Japanese naval wargame, Distant Guns, has FINALLY been freed of its obnoxious and hateful DRM scheme and is now free to download:

If you know the backstory, you know. If you don't, you're better off.

Woot! That's good news if there ever was some.

If you had told me in 2000 that there is a Norm Koger game that I don't buy I would have called you mad. Then their drm and his obnoxious sidekick came along...

I am pretty suspicious of free stuff these days. Especially off site mods. I just don't want the hastle. Especially when the guys running the sites are outside of the well and tightly run and staffed publisher sites.

Back in the day I don't know what they were thinking with the DRM. Wargamers are generally upstanding people. It's not like billions of copies were going to be sold either. Starting a steam competitor with a wargame so niche was utter madness.
The games though, brilliant.

Just looking around on the steam forums, was this one of you guys?

"Norm Krüger published *Distant Guns* on his own website after the stormpowered site was taken down following the death of one of its co-founders. It seems he plans to keep updating it :-) for DX 12.

As for Jutland, it might take a little longer."
