Now you can play the game the way you want!
Don't want to take charge of the whole Atlantic Theatre? Then command a Single Fleet.
With the single fleet campaign we wanted to make something that honoured the original Victory At Sea game. We hope you like it!
Plus we have now translated the game so you can now play in German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian, and Chinese. As this is our first round of translations, please let us know if we have done anything wrong, with so much to translate, we may have mistranslated a line or skipped something accidentally.
