Game Mechanics

Battle Cruiser is one wargame which simulates tactical naval battles in the Atlantic Ocean during the First World War and the Second World War. The game offers eight scenarios and also allows the player to create custom scenarios for which he can choose the date, time and type of missions, select or create the map or perform the battle and define the forces in attendance. To do this, the player can rely on a library of 77 and 78 classes of ships for each period, which is characterized by their speed, their buoyancy, their radar, the thickness of their shielding and their weapons.

The game takes place on a map 60,000yards par 60,000yards that may include or not terrestrial areas. Players play alternately, each round being divided into two phases: a phase of order, which allows to give instructions to ships, and a phase of action where these orders are executed and which represents two minutes of combat. At the end of an action phase, the game does not automatically switch to a new order phase. Instead, the action phases follow and it is the player who decides if he wants to give orders by pressing the O button when the computer asks him. To give orders to its ships, the player has two command modes: ship mode and division mode. The first allows it to give instructions to a particular ship, which it can define direction, speed and targets. The second allows it to give orders to a group of ships, of which it can define training, direction and speed, but also decide whether they must open fire, without having to define their targets. The player can switch between the two modes at any time.
