Naval War: Arctic Circle

 

Leaving no contact unchecked we mark Naval War: Arctic Circle closing on our bearing and set to engage. This modern real-time naval wargame, we now know, will let you seek world domination by April 10th.

Enter a world of radar, torpedo, high speed jets, anti-submarine warfare, electronic jamming and trying to stay hidden just long enough to get your first shots in. Because if an enemy can see you, it can kill you.

 

Expect heated strategic and tactical battles under and above the open sea with you at the helm of NATO or Russian forces.

Their "What warship are you?" quiz made me laugh.

 

I am:

 

a Finnish Hamina class missile boat. You’re sleek, stylish and more than a little sneaky. Boasting the latest in surveillance technology, you can shoot planes out of the sky from 100 kilometers away, use your snazzy water jet propulsion to scoot around in shallow waters and even disappear from radar, thanks to your stealth design. Unfortunately, this means people tend to overlook you, but you’re fine with this, considering your small heat and radar signatures an asset. Unlike bigger, bulkier vessels, it takes just 26 Finnish sailors to keep you running. What’s that like, having all that crew scurrying around inside you? Is it distracting? Itchy? Of course, being a Hamina class, we’re sure you’re discreet with your answers.

 

Really interested in naval warfare games, but have yet to see any turn-based jobs.

© YOU ARE... a US Nimitz class aircraft carrier, the world's largest warship and rare indeed, as you’re one of just ten. Yours is a mixed bag, as you’re too big to fit in most nightclubs and clothes shopping is probably a nightmare, but you can go for twenty years without refuelling, often at over thirty knots, and can effortlessly carry over a hundred aircraft if necessary. You shouldn’t feel bad for weighing in at over 100,000 long tons, as big is beautiful and all that space means you have plenty of room for a cinema, hairdresser and post office and library. Your friends think of you as a floating town, but not a town they want to make angry...

 

Dispatch the planes :argh:

From a graphic outlook it doesn't look very modern in terms of todays (uber-leet) games. Which is fine by me. I noticed the websites system requirements aren't posted either. Subs, Jets, Air Craft Carriers and naked Eskimo women, should be fun.
