"When the German fleet ran for home, on the night of May 31, it seems to have
scattered... in a general sauve qui peut, while the Devil, lively represented by our destroyers, took the
hindmost. Our flotillas were strung out far and wide on this job. One man
compared it to hounds hunting half a hundred separate foxes."
--Rudyard Kipling

Play On-Line
with Fog Of War |
|
|
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.
|
|
"In that flotilla alone there was every variety of fight, from the ordered
attacks of squadrons under control, to single ship affairs, every turn of which
depended on the second's decision of the men concerned; endurance to the
hopeless end; bluff and cunning; reckless advance and redhot flight; clear
vision and as much of blank bewilderment as the Senior Service permits its
children to indulge in. That is not much."
|
|
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. |

"If lost hounds could speak when they cast up next day, after an unchecked night
among the wild life of the dark, they would talk much as our destroyers do."
