Dreadnoughts
Dreadnoughts is a turn-based surface fleet battle simulator. It accurately
recreates the looks, specifications and tactics of fleets of major naval
engagements in the ‘Great War’ of 1914 to 1918.
The game starts by promoting the player to Admiral, placing them on the bridge
of a great flagship, and then resets the clock to start from the critical
hour. The game offers isometric battlefield engine used in Waterloo, including
weather effects and fog of war system. Game calculations are based on complex
mathematics. There are seven historical scenarios included (battle of Jutland
which involves over 60 ships) along with other smaller battles and scenarios.
There is also a practice scenario for the beginner.
Dreadnoughts is mainly played through menus where you have to point with
your mouse or keyboard and issue the relative order. Commands are issued
through sentences. There are several key words to issue orders, plus a
directive so the computer knows who you’re talking to.
