Battlestations Midway Rocks!!!

I first became involved with this game in its development about the same time as Neal Stevens in 2003 when it was mithis games in develpment and i was the first i think post on the subsim board about it, which is lost in time. Eventually Eidos games ought them out and now they publish the game.
However, this game totally ROCKS. If you dont require a heavy naval simulations and want a fast paced, action gun running naval game then this is it!!.
GOOD FOR YOUNG AND OLD
While realistically its not a simulation, it does have intensive micromanagement added to it so that it can be a driving test of your ability, survivability and skill.
1. Damage control maintenance
2. Weapons management
3. Command and strategy decisions and functions
4. Third person action direct involvement in combat.
5. Working as a team member
6. Giving and sending units to team members

This game is not for the feint at heart as its basically a duel to the death!! as there is no draw and no second place. Its war. Kill or be killed. Its highly addictive single player game or 8 player multiplayer that is reminiscent to me of the early adversarial days of 688 only it has Ships Subs Planes, Airports and Shipyards!!!
While to the hard core elite submariners this is just an "arcade" game,
I assure you its way past this.

Neal Steavens pretty much says it all in his Personal Review,
"A key feature of Battlestations: Midway
is the ability to play as a first person shooter where you are onboard a battleship or plane, directly controlling the unit; and the ability to direct the entire fleet from a map." And, "Flying the Avenger was my favorite role; coming in low and slow, lining up for a torpedo shot on a carrier while destroyers throw up sprays of AA and Zeros swing in on your six to take you down."
Finally, "Battlestations: Midway multiplayer is a very enjoyable and rather addictive experience."

Thank you Neal but compared to dangerous waters, I would like to say that dangerous waters is like watching paint dry.

This game is so good that http://www.seawolves.org/svn is testing for possible integration into their group and are currently seeking testers to join and be involved in the project.
You dont need the full game, even the multiplayer demo map "Battle of the Solomons" available at fileplanet
