Build Your Navy, from pre-Dreadnoughts to Aircraft Carriers and Missile Cruisers!

Rule the Waves III is a simulation of naval ship design and construction, fleet management and naval warfare from 1890 to 1970.

It will place you in the role of 'Grand Admiral' of a navy from the time when steam and iron dominated warship design up to the missile age.

Rule the Waves III will let you design and build the ships of your navy, and lead them into battle when war erupts. You will guide your navy's deployment, construction and operations during a period of great technological innovation and political tensions. While the game derives much of its technology and events from 'actual' history, you will find that you forge your own new history each and every time you play!

Features

Campaigns start in either 1890, 1900,1920 or 1935 and can run through 1970.

Monthly strategic turns with Battles resolved in a realistic tactical naval battle resolution system.

Manage your naval budget, and deal with interfering Kaisers, presidents or navy ministers as well as a variety of historical events including naval treaties.

Realistic design of ships ranging from corvettes to battleships and aircraft carriers.

Research and technical development will determine ship design and tactics.

Espionage will keep you up to date on the progress of competing navies

Submarines, airships, aircraft and missiles will all appear and change the naval balance of power.

Build, train, maintain and fight with your own 'ideal' navy.

Construct coastal fortifications, airbases and other defenses

Play as USA, Great Britain, Germany, France, Russia, Italy, Japan, Spain, Austria-Hungary, or China.

Who knew a spreadsheet was all you need for the best naval warfare simulator? Everything is 2D, but the campaign and combat system are far more enjoyable than UAD along with being able to go from ironclads to missile cruisers in a single game.
