I can't remember if this question has been asked already but I'm assuming that the IJN will be playable and not just AI controlled?

I might have to dust off my old reviewer's hat with this game.
Microprose was among the best of the best back before the turn of the millennium. Between them, EA and SSI I think I blew half my kid's college fund before he was 8. Just kidding, he graduated last year with a Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering. Now if I could get him off that Xbox and into some real games.
Glad to see an old name resurrected. I don't think any of the old guard are around anymore, at least not in a form that we would recognize.
They will never be the powerhouse they once were but I am glad that the name is being used for the titles they have listed, and for more hopefully down the line.

Ok, I just added this to my Steam wish-list and I'm following it. It's disappointing that you can't play as the IJN but maybe a future DLC can add that feature?

That would be great.

Added this and Sea Power to my wish list. If executed well, these will be the strategy games I dreamed off as a kid.
If only they would come with a 200 page manual . . .
Hopefully a 200 page PDF anyway

Lot of messages to reply to - and so little time. With the announcement, the venues had multiplied and it's hard to keep watch of all of them. I'll try my best to provide some fan service in here at least ^^

You're most welcome to dust that hat off, Tom! No worries, unlike unfortunate Alyssa, our American pre-war carriers will remain glorious forever
I will answer everybody else tomorrow - in the meantime, Ladies & Gents, take good care and stay safe
Cheers!

Yeah, Alyssa has definitely lost her luster. But then again, I'm not exactly the young Army Captain I was 20ish years ago. Just like dreadnoughts; over the years we packed on a few pounds and added some width to our beam.

Man I don't know how this game slipped under my radar all this time. I just read through all 18 pages of this thread and I'm in awe. I've been dreaming of a game like this for a long, long time. Thanks, Admiral (and team) for bringing it to life. Day one purchase for me, no question.

So y'all are releasing this under the Microprose label?
I wish you the best.
We need another Sim era of greatness.

I have no doubt this title will sell very well with the niche military simulation crowd. How well it will do with the mainstream market is anyone’s guess.
