This creates a new level of naval combat simulation by harnessing elements from RPG, first person shooters and strategy games. In this alternate history, the British passenger ship Lusitania was not sunk by a German U-boat in the First World War, but instead completed her voyage without incident. This event, or lack thereof, basically prevented the United States from entering the war on the side of the allies, thereby dooming the French and BEF (British Expeditionary Force) to defeat from the German offensives in 1918. With total victory in France, the German Empire formally annexes France and Britain (which was occupied as a result of the treaty that ended the war), and becomes the German Weltreich (World Empire). Upon the occupation of Britain, Winston Churchill- then Britain's chief naval strategist- flees to Hong Kong with the rest of the British government on the fleet flagship, the new battlecruiser HMS Hood. Experience unique and detailed naval combat, command realistic modeled ships, submarines and aircraft in a dynamic ocean environment and lay waste to your enemies. There are three main forces. The Imperial German Navy (IGN) maintains a powerful fleet of U-Boats, mainly Type-VII boats from the Great War, as well as the new Type-IX boats. The U.S. fleet is composed mainly of carrier and destroyer task forces. The League of Free Nations comprises Imperial Japan and the British government in Exile, which is based in Hong Kong. The LFN fleet is composed mainly of submarines and the powerful task force built around the battlecruiser HMS Hood. The first game to offer complete hands-free gameplay through the use of a microphone and built in Voice Command Control. A Gold Edition includes 3 playable battleships, the soundtrack from the game, and improved graphics. |
