"Design warships, command fleets, win the naval arms race for your nation!" Let's design and play the SMS Goeben, a Moltke class battlecruiser. At the start of WWI the Goben and the light cruiser Breslau were in the western Mediterranean tasked with stopping the French from bringing troops from Africa to Europe. She was to then escape to German home waters. But at the outbreak of hostilities she received orders from Tirpitz to go to Constantinople in direct contravention of the Kaiser's instructions and without his knowledge. Thus began the pursuit of the Goeben across the Mediterranean.
Today I will set up a hypothetical battle between the Goeben and the two British battlecruisers (Indomitable and Indefatigable IRL) that did intercept the Goeben before the outbreak of hostilities between Germany and Britain. Historically those battlecruisers tried to shadow the Goeben, but she outran them and was able to enter harbor at Messina to coal. If the British decided to engage the Goeben despite the fact that war had not yet been declared what would have happened?
Ultimate Admiral: Dreadnoughts is a game currently under development by Game Labs, creators of Ultimate General: Civil War and Ultimate General: Gettysburg. In Ultimate Admiral:Dreadnoughts they take on the age of steel ships and big guns. All I can say it WOW! this game looks fantastic despite being in Alpha.
