The game is rather poor. The mechanics are difficult and there are situations were you have to click the mouse 25+ time to complete shipThe game is rather poor. The mechanics are difficult and there are situations were you have to click the mouse 25+ time to complete ship movement. The game randomly changes map orientation and there is a control panel in the map that actually obscures movement. The game lacks historical accuracy. It seems that in every scenario the Confederate forces are stronger that the Union! I had high hopes when I bought it being a history buff. Waste of money and time

This game is just terrible. It has extremely slow-paced and tedious gameplay that has little to no feedback on what's happening. ButThis game is just terrible. It has extremely slow-paced and tedious gameplay that has little to no feedback on what's happening. But probably the worst part about this game is it's lack of music/sounds, there is no music while you are playing the game. At all. And there's only one sound effect, a ship cannon firing. I made an account on this website to make a review on this game to make sure that nobody makes the mistake of buying it, it's a terrible game that you should not waste your time or money on.
