Steam and Iron Campaign released

[Slick Wilhelm]

Well, I'm in. I've already got the original game, and love it. This is a development team that has earned my support!  :)

It's sharp. One campaign has new German ships coming on-line.

Although I have purchased the campaign, I have not played it yet, so my comments only relate to the basic game.  This is my idea of what a wargame should be.  Yes, the graphics are basic, but they are pleasant and functional and very much like the diagrams of Jutland that you get in the historical literature.  The play is historical and fun.  I play my own WWI music.  For me the atmosphere is there and engrossing.  (There is land, by the way.)

I'm looking forward to trying out the campaign.

Thanks Johnnie, and welcome.

Yes Jhonnie. By all means welcome to the aslyum.  ;D  I believe I'm hooked on this one totally. It has been completely bug free so far for me. And full of interesting choices. After my 4th mission as Germany vs. Russia in the Baltic, my force,1 CA, 2CL's and 4DD's, I had just swept up 6 Russian merchants and was headed home to Danzig at dark. I could've just pointed the whole force toward home and hit "Run" and go made a sandwich while the game ran itself, pausing when something important happened. But the intel briefing told me the Russians had 6 subs available in the Baltic and so I paused the game every 30-45 min. to change course, Zig-zagging. Sure enough, just before dawn one of my DD's spotted a sub to starboard. I evaded but if I had just been going straight line? The after scenario showed that I had just missed 2 other merchants and a MS. But the Russians had a task force ahead of me on the way home, 3CA's, 2CL's and DD's. One of the CA"s was the RURIK mounting 10 in. guns. They had turned back north also zig-zagging and we had just missed each other in the dark, them passing just west of my force. Had I been going strait line or it was daylight, I might've lost my whole fleet. And in this game, if you do poorly in the campaign, you can be relieved of duty and lose the campaign.

All of you are going to make me buy this sooner than I want:(
