The Wars of Alexander's Successors 323-281 B.C.Once you play around with things a bit, it becomes easy enough to direct your ships, and then you can enjoy watching the rain of shells flying back and forth. Every major part of the ship you would expect to command has a screen that can be opened or closed.
If the magazine takes a direct hit, the ship might be gone in an instant. A display shows the flooding status of different compartments in the ship, pumps can be manually directed to correct listing of the ship or save critical systems. NBS models many details relevant to naval warfare at this time. Most likely you'll want to keep it simple, but it's nice that the option is there. If you want, you can get pretty nitty-gritty here, selecting targets for individual turrets on each ship and manually ordering them to fire. Note This game uses the latest Global 1942 rules in combination with the Global 1940 2nd Edition (successor to Alpha +3) rules, as posted on Larrys website. Various icons on a blue field show the location and direction of the ships, with shells flying and back and forth once combat begins. While the visuals are pretty simplistic, they do convey what is going on well enough.
If you do choose to control the battles directly, the game switches to a zoomed in tactical view. The reverse is also possible, directing the strategic efforts and leaving the battles to the computer. If you don't want to handle the big picture, you can leave it up to the AI and only engage in the tactical battles.
