Thank you for the reply.Hmm guess it does make sense, considering the communications of the era, in addition to the fact that the game is focused on Fleet battles, of the Mahan philosophy that was prevalent of the time. Could it be modded? Either way, I will buy this game sooner or later. I have been in the WW1 mood, in particular the U-boats, and the Ottoman Front, a shame there arent too many games about WW1, such a fascinating subject.
