Thread: Naval Battles

  1. #1

    Icon4 Naval Battles

    I'm just throwing out an idea!

    What if instead of incividual control of ships with options such as broadside CA made the decision to allow control of the fleet. So for example I could choose my fleets formation and then once the battle has begun I could give them orders such as tack-in-succesion and stuff like that. In single ships battle you would get the individual control. Another thing in a fleet battle the admiral would have to signal the ship which is to perform the action creating a but of time lag which is historically correct. perhaps they would add a tech about flags to add more rapid communications. Just voicing ideas tell me what you think!

    Sounds kind of like Take Command: 2nd Manassass where you could give general orders on a division, brigade, or regimental scale and the AI would carry out the orders based on the lower level officer's ability level.

    Its a real good idea that worked great for land battles in that game. However, TC2M is a different kind of game than the TWs. TW games arent exactly complex wargames.
