First of all – look at the negative comments. The are nearly all true. So why is my positive? I knew exactly what I was buying. A game, that is not fast paced and that gives me the exact amount of control that a commander of the late XIX century would have over his ships – setting course and speed of the lead ship are the only tools at your disposal. That is all you have to make best use of the strengths of your ships and to deny the enemy theirs. The game itself definitely isn’t fast paced and full of action. You need 1 – 1,5 hours of free time for each day of each scenario. Also each engagement is unbalanced – as it should be. The opposing fleets are composed of different types of ships and have different strong and weak points. At first glance one side has an obvious advantage, but it is definitely possible, to gain victory using both. This isn’t a game for everyone. Not even for everyone that is interested in naval conflict. It’s easy to see how the game could be...

About This Game
(Alternative History) In the second half of 1880s, the policy of imperialism in the tropical Pacific led to a local naval conflict between the U.S., Chile, the German Empire and the Kingdom of Spain.
None of the contestants wanted a big war. Therefore, only the quick clash of colonial squadrons in tropical waters will decide who will rule Oceania.

Panama Crisis with Chile vs USA 1885
In 1884 Chile emerged from the War of the Pacific as a potential threat to the hegemony of the United States. The Chilean navy, then the strongest fleet in the Pacific, was able to confront American policy. In 1882 Chile refused US mediation in the War of the Pacific. In 1885, as the United States Navy occupied Colon, then part of Colombia, the Chilean government ordered its navy to occupy Panama City and to force the American squadron to evacuate Colon.

Caroline Islands Crisis with Germany vs Spain 1885
Germany began her colonial enterprise very late and was, therefore, at a disadvantage, finding all the desirable places already occupied. The Spaniards claimed the Caroline Islands as their colony, but did not actually control them. Germany disputed the Spanish claim.
In August of 1885, Spain sent warships to Yap (Caroline Islands) to assert their territorial claim; however, the German government was aware of these ships and its squadron arrived the night before the Spanish landed.

Marianas Incident with Spain vs USA 1887
To strengthen its position in the Pacific Ocean; the United States needs to control at least one of the tropical islands such as the Spanish Mariana Islands, or the Samoan archipelago. Events in Cuba and internal problems did not allow Spain to strengthen its colony in Oceania. The Great powers were not interested in supporting the interests of Spain in the Pacific and did not interfere in the conflict.
None of the contestants wanted a big war. Therefore, only the quick clash of colonial squadrons in tropical waters will decide who will rule the Mariana Islands after 1887.
