Off topic Naval Games Chat...........

Anyone have any thoughts or reviews on the Naval Campaign series?

Midway is interesting me.

I have Jutland (the 1st title in the series) & unfortunately, I have to say that, even with the mods available at the Naval Campaigns club, the game just doesn't do anything for me. The graphics are just too dated & simplistic. From the looks of the screen shots Midway seems to be very similar. I have the 2007 remake of Carriers At War by SSG and despite CAW's higher price tag I think that you would get more enjoyment out of that game. It's a nicer looking game & the AI is pretty sharp. It covers the same battles (the Midway scenario alone has several dozen variants) as the HPS title and there is a MegaMod (free of charge) available at Alternate Wars which adds extra scenarios (Indian Ocean Raid, etc.) & graphic enhancements.

That's an interesting observation, I had considered buying Carriers At War some time ago.

I'm curious how Midway, and now Guadalcanal since that title has been upgraded to take advantage of the Aircraft rules incorporated in Midway, stack up against Uncommon Valor or War in the Pacific.
