Tactical Board Wargame for iOS 7

(Atlanta, GA) February 3, 2014 – Chimera Software is thrilled to announce Naval Tactics: Captains of the Spanish Main, a fresh way to experience the tactical board wargame genre on iPhone, iPod, and iPad. A modern take inspired by old classics, this brand new adventure into turn-based naval combat will leave your tactical mind reeling.
“After spending three years on our hit 4X space strategy game Starbase Orion, I wanted to bring things back down to Earth for a while” said Rocco Bowling, founder of Chimera Software. “Naval Tactics is focused on tactical naval combat in the 1700′s. Ship battles in the Age of Sail are unique in their tactical complexity, where the use of wind for positioning and fleet formations are critical components to dominating your enemy. Combine this with savvy turn-based mechanics on a hex map, mix in some traditional board game mechanics and the final combination is a savory bite any strategy/tactical gamer will savor.”

I think you guys, with very few adaptations could make this WW1 naval game, like Battle of Jutland.
The ships were the same size, relatively speaking within their era. (Vanguard=BB, Endeavout = Battlecruiser, Constance Heavy Cruiser, Rebellious Light Cruiser, Rover=DD, Bounty DE.) The tactics and formations are very much the same (line abreast, column, column revers, line revers, cross the T).
I loved the Avalon Hill Jutland board game, and with the 5 star App Store game you already have, you really should adapt it. I’d buy.
