Hi,
as we are getting a little into WWI, maybe someone is interested in "Jutland" which is soon to be out.

The graphics aren`t as glorious as in SH3, but it`s ok.
I already have the earlier title from SES, "Distant Guns", which deals with the Russo-Japanese war at sea in 1904/05. Interesting for us Sub-simmers, is the goal of the campaign as the Russian player, you have to disrupt the re-supply through sinking or capturing as many merchants as possible, this is the only way to halt the Japanese ground attack. Unlike in SH3 your efforts at sea really decide the war.
DG for sure is the best Navy RTS since the "Fighting Steel" series from SSI. A free Demo download is available, but here you are only able to play a single scenario, the game really shines in the campaign. What one has to get used to is the short ranges these battles where fought, effective gun range begins only at around 3 km.

PS.: Some of my favourite screenshots from DG:
My Armoured cruisers hunting down some unlucky light cruisers:
Admiral Togo`s fleet
My heavy metal (three Battleships and two Armoured Cruisers) in heavy weather, notice the smoke is blown ahaed of the ships)
