Default OT: New "Jutland" screenshots

Maybe someone here is interested in the upcoming new SES title "Jutland".

I already own and love "Distant guns", but this one should be a heavy metal fans wet dream...

Enjoy:

Thanks for posting, that looks great, a big improvement over the already good Distant Guns.

Thanks for that!

I've always wanted a WW1 naval sim. That looks just the ticket. I'll keep an eye out for its release.

Did you know that among SubSim's many different boards is one dedicated to other games, including non-submarine naval games?

I believe Jutland has been discussed there before, though it's not currently on the first page.

Thanks for that link Sailor Steve!

No, I wasn't aware there was a Subsim site on surface warfare, I hadn't even heard of 'Distant Guns' before... But then again there are plenty of things I don't know! The info on this forum is priceless.

Jutland is, and always has been, the most fascinating battle for me. It's just full of 'what if's', and begs re-fighting over and over. One of my great uncles served on HMS Lion and actually got through the battle unscathed.

Thanks again.

Pretty cool about your great-uncle. I've worked on-and-off for years on my own tabletop miniatures naval game. At the request of a friend I early-on started with World War I, and have done a lot of research on the ships themselves. My favorite book on the battle is John Campbell's Jutland: An Analysis Of The Fighting. He doesn't go into the whys and wherefores; he just gives an hour-by-hour account, including every shell known to have hit, where it hit and exactly what damage was done. The Jutland book for bean counters like me.
