Hoist your sails and load the cannons as you embark for adventure on the high seas! Can you defeat your friends and best your enemies to become the Admiral of the Fleet?

Naval Tactics: Captains of the Spanish Main is set in the Golden Age of Sail, where stout ships of wood were crewed by even stouter men. Nations at peace and at war engaged in naval actions on the high seas. Naval Tactics brings the proud tradition of great naval board games such as Wooden Ships and Iron Men to iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch.

TACTICAL WAR BOARD GAME

From the hexagonal playing field to the potentially game changing Captain's Cards, Naval Tactics is a board game to its very roots. To succeed you will need to take your time, think three moves ahead, and mind the weather gauge!

ONLINE ASYNCHRONOUS MULTIPLAYER

Powered by the online system used by Starbase Orion, enjoy one of the best multiplayer experiences on the App Store with asynchronous, turn-based matches, real-time chat, unlimited number of concurrent games, automated match-making, and more!

TRUE NAVAL COMBAT

Naval Tactics prides itself on striving to capture the spirit of traditional naval combat in board game form. Configure your fleet using a variety of ships, from nimble Naval Cutters to massive Ships of the Line. Should you disable an opponent with bar shot or blast through their hull with double shot? Enterprising Captains will need to understand their vessels, their armaments, how they sail in relation to the wind, and the advantages of naval formations to best their fellows on the high seas.

BALANCED COMPETITIVE PLAY

Combining just the right amount of variety while maintaining a balanced engagement, Naval Tactics sets the bar for multiplayer naval combat on iOS. Choose your Captain's Cards, configure your fleet, outfit your ships, and embark on glorious battles knowing you will have to outwit your opponent to claim victory.

HISTORICAL MISSIONS

One cannot have a naval combat game without paying respect to the many true heroes who have shown their bravery on the seas. Live the Battle of Flamborough Head, the Constitution vs Guerriere, or the struggle at Trincomalee. More historical missions will be added in future updates!

Reviews

Excellent Napoleanic era turn-based strategery game
race drivr

“We shall beat to quarters”. Thrilling nautical action from the age of sail!

Realistic 18th century Naval Warfare
GoatTexas

Battles available for all skill levels, including practice against the AI. All are free, but also has rated games for a small fee, to increase your “stripes” all the way to Admiral and beyond. This is the best Naval game in the App store.

Excellent fighting sail game
Wrecktangle1

If you want to get a feeling for a real fighting sail game like those you read about in the Hornblower series or the Master and Commander books (and movie), THIS is your game. So good it is almost a simulation, but great fun and you can learn the tactics of 17th, 18th and early 19th century naval combat. Take your time learning the game against the AI before you play with humans as this game is deep and accurate. One of the absolute best combat simulation games on the iPad or anywhere else, PC, miniatures, or paper and pencil.

Hoist your sails!
Snavis700

This is, hands down, the best turned-based naval warfare game out there. A friendly user community is waiting to help young sailors over the learning curve, which is present...but worth the short climb! Can’t recommend it highly enough.

Amazing war game, excellent strategy and tactics
Mike Bradshaw (bmike)

As a trained naval officer, let me say that this is an excellent period game with a great balance between easy to understand rules and excellent possibility for more advanced game play. The sounds and graphics are top notch, but the core of the game is solid and well worth he price of entry.

Fantastic Strategy Game
Vander Legion

I’ve been a long-time fan of Starbase Orion, and Chimera Software has done it again with Naval tactics. While NT is a completely differnet type of game (SO is focused on building your empire with combat limited to giving simple orders that are carried out behind the scenes) while NT is all about the combat. There are a number of differnet mission types: 1v1, 1v1v1, 2v2, 3v3, merchant escort (protect or destroy the merchants), and Sink the Pirate, as well as a couple of missions based on real historical battles. The game is simple enough to be accessible to anyone who enjoys strategy games, but deep enough that a player will benefit from learning tactics and knowing how to use the wind etc to their benefit. I expect a vibrant, dedicated community for online play the same as SO has had for a long time.

Very strong opening
UmfHockey

This review is acknowledging that currently this game has no real tutorial. Other than that a fantastic game with a ton to offer. Give yourself 20 mins to experiment and you will have the hang of it. If you liked Ace Patrol give this a try.

Pretty good 'age of sail' game
Eriptron

Seems to be a solid game...at least no bugs have been found yet. It covers the basics of what is needed to make a decent age of fighting sale game. Needs single player campaigns and a multi-level difficulty setting for the IA opponent.
