Interesting find, thanks!
I wonder if it is related to the boardgame/miniatures-game.

Website says it is related to the Mongoose published tabletop game. No idea if there is any relation to the true Victory at Sea game :) from Avalon Hill.
Didn't Dunnigan have a computer game called Victory at Sea as well?

I seem to recall an Apple 2e title like that.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

This looks pretty interesting. I am always up for a beer and pretzels naval game.

That looks pretty bad.

I mean, if that's your thing then I hope you enjoy the hell out of it, but it doesn't look even remotely interesting on my end.   :idiot2:

I think you are writing it off too quick; models are good, let's see how they go with it.

I agree with Flickjax :). It's early days yet.

Apparently there is a strategic as well as a tactical layer. I wonder if they are doing stuff like critical hits, turret damage, compartmentation effects on flooding? 8)

Yes.  The ships healthbar will decrease with each successful contact between a "shell" pixel and the ship and will increase if the ship is within range of a healing center.

Sorry, couldn't resist....

QuoteVictory at Sea is already a highly successful table top game made by Mongoose Publishing, the company behind the Judge Dredd Miniatures Game. The Victory at Sea naval combat game will encapsulate the vast amounts of information behind the tabletop game which incorporates every detail a gamer could want. It will also inherit the fast flowing rules that allow novices and veteran gamers alike to enjoy recreating the epic struggles between the mighty fleets of the era.

So the mechanics are based on a minis game?  That could be good or bad.  But it's supposed to have some Sandbox campaign mode so I'm not gonna write it off.

I'm in touch with the developer. Do you have any specifics you want me to ask?

"Healing center"?  Really?  Couldn't they have least called it a "boat hospital"?

I think he was making that quote up. FFS I really do not understand all the negative waves here.
