World War I Naval Conflict; May of 1916. The fighting in the First World War had been going on for two years. Despite the fact that enormous ground combat had occurred during that time, the powerful naval forces of the world had not clashed in full force. But in May of 1916, that was about to change. The huge dreadnoughts of the English and German fleets departed from their ports to seek out each other in the North Sea west of the area of Danish Jutland. In those misty waters, filled with uncertainty, the outcome of the First World War hung in the balance. Will the German fleet crush the English and obtain a German victory at sea or will the stronger English fleet prevail? This first installment of the Naval Campaigns series features a REALTIME game engine that allows the player to play against the computer or against another player (or players) online. JUTLAND is a tactical battle simulation which models individual ships and capabilities. When playing on-line, players are assigned separate forces and their knowledge of what other forces on their side are doing is limited by the visibility of their own ships. In this enhanced Fog-of-War feature, two players commanding the Main Fleet and Battlecruiser Fleet for example, would be unaware of the exact location of each others' forces unless their ships could see each other. Twelve scenarios include the full battle of Jutland, smaller scenarios of different times of the battle, and an alternative history battle of Jutland. Bonus scenarios of Heligoland and Dogger Bank are also included. Features: Features include armor belts, mines, torpedoes, smoke laying, and visibility effects. A scenario editor is also included with the game; The scenario editor allows new scenarios to be constructed from the provided ship database and existing scenarios to be modified. Both the main program and scenario editor can read in a situation chart in Windows BMP format and display that chart on the screen overlaid with the position of the ships in the battle. ( This allows new scenarios to be created from historical situation charts and allows players to compare the outcome of their battles with the historical result. Eight historical situation charts from the Battle of Jutland are included with the game allowing the player to trace the flow of the battle from first encounter to the beginning of the night time chase.) Complete on-line Help documentation plus on-line printable documentation in Microsoft Word format.
