Russia sought to seize control of Constantinople. The city controlled the Black Sea straits, an important economic and strategic point of the Black and Mediterranean Sea. This area was the cause of constant conflict with Britain, which was concerned about her Mediterranean interests. The Crimean War had weakened the position of Russia on the Black Sea, but, in the Baltic and North Sea, the Tsar built a new, modern fleet. In 1865, Poland rebelled against Russia. Britain supported the rebels and declared war on Russia. Two objectives of the Royal Navy were to destroy the Russian squadron in the North Sea and the establishment of a full blockade of the North.
This game seems like an awesome idea... and given a bit more development, it would be.
As it is, it feels utterly generic and horribly limited.
There were literally dozens of classes of warship in service within the British Royal Navy in the year 1866. It was a unique time, filled with unique vessels and amazing variety. The ships here are few in number...
Good but wasted idea. Unfortunatelly it looks it was left in the beta stage. Bugged like an old piece of wood. Crappy ironclads doesn't shoot at all...
The entire series is mediocre games made of copy-pasted assets from each other to sell it multiple times.
First battle went fine. 2nd battle neither side would fire. The button for Open Fire said it would start when reached 25% chance of hitting. If I'm reading the symbols correctly I was in the 40%+ range but no firing. Game seems like junk.
