The attention of enthusiasts of naval history is usually riveted to the largest and most powerful ships — during the times of the steam fleet they were battleships. Without a doubt, these war machines used the latest technologies of that era, but even the richest industrial powers could not build and contain a number of battleships sufficient to send them to every corner of their empires. In ad…
From the beginning of the 19th century, the Asia-Pacific region fell into the sphere of trade interests of the European and North American authorities. German shipping companies also participated in trade with East Asia. As early as 1822, the Prussian state company Preußischen Seehandlung began regular deliveries to China. It soon became clear that it was difficult for German sales agents in Ch…
So, we read a little (actually a lot) of books about the Spanish Philippines and the colonial armed forces. We collected such interesting data on the number and composition of the Spanish colonial army: in 1884, the Ejército de Filipinas consisted of 576 Spanish officers and 31 Native officers, as well as from 1960 Spanish soldiers (1302 artillery men) and 9631 Native soldiers. It turns out tha…
We are very strange guys and we are interested in strange questions. For example, we want to know in what color scheme the Spanish and German warships were painted in Oceania in 1885 during the Carline Islands crisis. There are three possible answers to this question. Usually for service in hot climates, the ships of the great powers were painted in a white and yellow version, when the ship's h…
The construction of a large series of steam frigates and broadside ironclads in the 1860s put Spain among the foremost naval powers, but in subsequent years economic problems and political instability led to a complete loss of occupied positions. After a decade, the Spanish fleet is very outdated and could no longer protect the national interests of the sea. The situation prevailing in Spain by…
1. TBS mode. The division of all the harbors in the shallow and deep. Now, large ships will not be able to enter the shallow harbor. 2. TBS mode. The probability of a ship undermining a minefield depends on its size. 3. TBS mode. The probability of a successful attack of a torpedo boats depends on the size of the target. 4. Fixed some bugs.
We continue to optimize the game engine. In the course of these studies, we have found and fixed some issues that could potentially create technical problems.
Inspired by a player named Tempest, we updated the interface on the battle map in strategy mode. Now all slots for ships, infantry or buildings of one side have only one color. In addition, it is now easier to understand which harbor the player controls, and which ones are his computer opponent.
Back in April, the largest and one of the most respected professional* online magazines about the wargames WARGAMER.COM included our games in the list of the best naval war games. The news was a little late, but better later than never. It's nice to be together with such games as JUTLAND, VICTORY AT SEA, SILENT HUNTER and BATTLESTATIONS: PACIFIC. *We respect the alternative opinion of gentlemen…
