Almost a good game – Battle Fleet: A Battleship Wargame Review

The premise is fantastic and the graphics are really pretty good. The interface is a little confused (the layout is awkward and occasionally interferes with game play). The actual gameplay is where the disappointment starts to cost stars. Each turret is player controlled but the aiming is in 'whole degrees' making some shots impossible - worse fire control than what actually existed in wwII! Each volley from a ship is a single shell so ranging is awkward. There is no compass on the ship and so each turn range and bearing have to be recalculated. The game addresses the player as "captain" but you are also a gunner's mate and a helmsman. Silly.
