Having bought this game when it first released, I'm finally giving it a serious go. Lots of fun, in an intellectual way. So many decisions to make. I'm really enjoying it, and even geeking out with ship design.   O0

One of my favorites too Slick.

I made a state of the art BB, in 1923, and just CRUSHED the English with it. With careful micro-ing, nothing is safe from its 17 inch guns.

Proof positive that you don't need graphics for a great game.  Three cheers for NWS!!!

Damn I really need to get this...and yes I believe this is the fourth time I've said this.
Insert witty comment here.

And, following on from some recent threads on companies perhaps having some less than ideal customer service, the Rules The Waves/Steam and Iron guys are just the nicest, most helpful crew you could hope to meet.

This is always a company/game series I forget about....

Are they continuing to enhance the game (and their other games)?  Is there a next version on the horizon?

I understand Rule the Waves II is in development..not sure on the timeline. It will be a day one purchase for me...even if all they do is to upgrade the graphics. The gameplay is already pretty solid.

I thoroughly recommend this game. Check out the article (a shameless plug :bd:) I did on it...

Since the article went out they NWS have made numerous updates including substantially extending the length of the game, which gives your "ultra modern"  ;) battleships a chance to shine.

The increase was to have the game available to be ran to the year 1950, instead of 1925. The caveat is that no additional research is available after 1925.

Is anyone still playing this game? I download the Steam and Iron demo and played it. Despite the somewhat primitive graphics and sounds, the gameplay seems solid plus the reviews are very good.

Was wondering if Rule the Waves was worth buying with a second edition being worked on? Maybe I should wait, but I couldn't any potential release date for the second edition.

I like it.  I wish you could slow it down a bit more and that there was a bit depth to the tactics, but for the price it was a pleasant surprise.  Go for it!

IIRC there is a second edition being worked on, but is a way from being released. Like SDR says it is a really good game, despite the graphics.

One of my favorite naval games. Steam & Iron, the WWI Campaign add-on, and Rule The Waves are all great if you can get past the lack of pretty graphics.

A military simulation gamer that cares more about graphics than gameplay just isn't a Grognard.    :knuppel2:
