Hoist your sails and load the cannons as you embark for adventure on the high seas! Can you defeat your friends and best your enemies to become the Admiral of the Fleet?
Naval Tactics: Captains of the Spanish Main is set in the Golden Age of Sail, where stout ships of wood were crewed by even stouter men. Nations at peace and at war engaged in naval actions on the high seas. Naval Tactics brings the proud tradition of great naval board games such as Wooden Ships and Iron Men to iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch.
TACTICAL WAR BOARD GAME
From the hexagonal playing field to the potentially game changing Captain's Cards, Naval Tactics is a board game to its very roots. To succeed you will need to take your time, think three moves ahead, and mind the weather gauge!
ONLINE ASYNCHRONOUS MULTIPLAYER
Powered by the online system used by Starbase Orion, enjoy one of the best multiplayer experiences on the App Store with asynchronous, turn-based matches, real-time chat, unlimited number of concurrent games, automated match-making, and more!
TRUE NAVAL COMBAT
Naval Tactics prides itself on striving to capture the spirit of traditional naval combat in board game form. Configure your fleet using a variety of ships, from nimble Naval Cutters to massive Ships of the Line. Should you disable an opponent with bar shot or blast through their hull with double shot? Enterprising Captains will need to understand their vessels, their armaments, how they sail in relation to the wind, and the advantages of naval formations to best their fellows on the high seas.
BALANCED COMPETITIVE PLAY
Combining just the right amount of variety while maintaining a balanced engagement, Naval Tactics sets the bar for multiplayer naval combat on iOS. Choose your Captain's Cards, configure your fleet, outfit your ships, and embark on glorious battles knowing you will have to outwit your opponent to claim victory.
HISTORICAL MISSIONS
One cannot have a naval combat game without paying respect to the many true heroes who have shown their bravery on the seas. Live the Battle of Flamborough Head, the Constitution vs Guerriere, or the struggle at Trincomalee. More historical missions will be added in future updates!

Naval Tactics App Comments & Reviews
Naval Tactics Positive Reviews
I love the game, but it has a bug that keeps it from full potentialI love this game. I play it as often as possible. But, recently, I have tried battle royale (6 player battle) and it acts fine until in round 0 I am setting up player six, and I have captain cards and ships picked out, and I push next, and the game freezes. PLEASE GET RID OF THIS!.Version: 1.0.1
Love it! Great re-playability.Just a wonderful game for a large size iPad. Clean attractive interface. Simple design, with nice nuances as you get deeper. I’ve only played against the AI, not online, the former being my preferred way to relax with a strategy game. I almost always beat the AI now, but it remains a challenge to do it without losing any of my ships. I’ve read every Patrick O’Brien story, of course, as well as the Hornblower series way back when. I find the game plays true to the strategy in the books, and I suspect to reality as well. The suicide missions by small fast enemy ships are a nice component of the AI’s strategy. One minor quibble is that boarding enemy ships still strikes me as too difficult, because they maintain much of their firepower to the end and tend to be too dangerous to approach to knock out sails and crew. Also, there doesn’t seem to be any bonus for having your cannons pre-loaded as you go into a turn, as compared to loading and firing in the same round. There are helpful warnings when you are about to leave cannons unfired or when ships are about to collide, but I still often forget to press the crucial “combat” button after a round of focusing on “repairs” or “sail.” Very modest price for many many hours of replayability, with no requests to buy more features or annoying requests for a review. Thank you for the wonderful app!.Version: 1.0.2
Excellent Turn-based Strategy GameHarken back to the days of the tall ships, and build a fleet to take on other players, or play one of the many scenarios, each with their own challenge. The integrated help shows you the basics, and beginner scenarios allow you to learn piloting, maneuvering, firing on enemies, boarding enemy ships, all at your own speed. Players of this game are probably the MOST helpful, mature, enthusiastic I’ve come across in iPad/iPhone world. Don’t understand something? Ask in chat, and it will be answered as players come online (It is asynchronous multiplayer, so players tend to hop on/off to play their turns when notified). And actually learned the game and its nuances by simple asking to be ‘shown the ropes’. And wow. What a deep and satisfying game this is. If you love turn-based strategy, this is a great investment. I understand that the developer frequently updates, so really looking forward to seeing this game grow and mature..Version: 1.0.1
Fire off a broadside!This game is deceptively simple - at first you load your guns, charge your opponent, and unload broadside after broadside until the yellow-bellies surrender. Later, however, you agonize over each turn, wondering if your frigate can handle one more barrage before you have to fall off to make repairs. You begin to love the firepower of a third-rate but cringe at how slowly it turns. You debate with yourself for hours whether to try to shred your opponents sails to make him a sitting duck at your mercy or maim his crew with gunshot and board him... I could write more but I have moves to make before the wind shifts on me!.Version: 1.0.1
Excellent fighting sail gameIf you want to get a feeling for a real fighting sail game like those you read about in the Hornblower series or the Master and Commander books (and movie), THIS is your game. So good it is almost a simulation, but great fun and you can learn the tactics of 17th, 18th and early 19th century naval combat. Take your time learning the game against the AI before you play with humans as this game is deep and accurate. One of the absolute best combat simulation games on the iPad or anywhere else, PC, miniatures, or paper and pencil..Version: 1.0.2
Good game but wayyyy to slowFun and challenging but the game was to slow and the maps were too big...if the game was more cqc I would give 1/2 more star just missing that this is awesome feeling! It came very close! I did enjoy my time online and the community is very helpful! Worth $5 :).Version: 1.0.1
Hoist your sails!This is, hands down, the best turned-based naval warfare game out there. A friendly user community is waiting to help young sailors over the learning curve, which is present...but worth the short climb! Can’t recommend it highly enough..Version: 1.0.2
Would be 5-stars, but.....I really wish more ships were added to the game and there aren't enough single player missions. It is very otherwise..Version: 1.0.1
Fun, challenging and easy to play!Wonderful game with many possible scenarios. If you like naval history, tactics and strategy, this is the game for you! Captain your ship one-on-one, or direct your fleet in multi-ship battles. Never a dull moment!.Version: 1.0.2
UPDATE!I rated this one star at first, thought it inscrutable. Just upgrade it to 5 stars, the more I play the more I love it. 3 player, with lots of ships, complex formations, it's really enjoyable, and is SO different from WW2 games that I also love. The more I played it the more nuances I discovered and the more fun this became. It's what I hoped for when I bought it, but couldn't see at first. Really well done, tricky, challenging......I play a lot of these games and this is in my top 20..Version: 1.0.1
Realistic 18th century Naval WarfareBattles available for all skill levels, including practice against the AI. All are free, but also has rated games for a small fee, to increase your “stripes” all the way to Admiral and beyond. This is the best Naval game in the App store..Version: 1.0.2
Fantastic Strategy GameI’ve been a long-time fan of Starbase Orion, and Chimera Software has done it again with Naval tactics. While NT is a completely differnet type of game (SO is focused on building your empire with combat limited to giving simple orders that are carried out behind the scenes) while NT is all about the combat. There are a number of differnet mission types: 1v1, 1v1v1, 2v2, 3v3, merchant escort (protect or destroy the merchants), and Sink the Pirate, as well as a couple of missions based on real historical battles. The game is simple enough to be accessible to anyone who enjoys strategy games, but deep enough that a player will benefit from learning tactics and knowing how to use the wind etc to their benefit. I expect a vibrant, dedicated community for online play the same as SO has had for a long time..Version: 1.0
Excellent Napoleanic era turn-based strategery game“We shall beat to quarters”. Thrilling nautical action from the age of sail!.Version: 1.0.2
Solid Tactics GameI don't care so much that there is lack of single player. I played one hotseat game against myself to get a feel for it, and I like what I see so far. I'm a big Hero Academy fan, mostly because I play against friends. If I can get them playing this also it would be a five star. Until then it is four, unless I am totally wowed when I play some online MP..Version: 1.0
Finally, a good ship tactics game!I'm a big fan of tall sail games. I've played all the App Store has to offer, and this one finally gets it right! Others have been too arcade like and not enough strategy. Naval Tactics nails it! The board game like mechanics just plain work. Think chess, but with lots of cannons... And boarding parties! Considering this is a 1.0 release, it's rock solid! If Chimerasoft's other games are any indication, this game will keep getting better and better! That's why I got it while on sale.. :).Version: 1.0
Simply FantasticAnother gem from Chimera software! This game is straight Naval warfare. 40 turns of hardcore naval battle without being watered down by all the extras other games of this type have to offer. Think Pirates! without treasure hunts. Very challenging multiplayer experience with a very friendly and helpful following. I'm hooked! Buy this app and I wish you fair winds and following seas!.Version: 1.0
Good now, could be greatThe mechanics of the game are excellent and entertaining. The interface has some rough patches and needs polishing. Given the game's potential, the relative lack of scenarios is really disappointing. Like so many apps, it feels about 3/4 baked. Here's hoping it gets finished soon..Version: 1.0
Amazing war game, excellent strategy and tacticsAs a trained naval officer, let me say that this is an excellent period game with a great balance between easy to understand rules and excellent possibility for more advanced game play. The sounds and graphics are top notch, but the core of the game is solid and well worth he price of entry..Version: 1.0
Version 1: good but keep goingThis review will possibly go up as I learn how to play. No tutorial makes it difficult to learn. Hope to see some improvements soon. There's even spelling mistakes in the help menu. With some improvements this game will be worth the price! ***update #1. Figured out finally how to move the ships etc. still wierd. I chart a course or direct a cannon, then the ai gets to go and shoot me and after that what I planned happens. Seems like a strange way of playing and hard to plan cause they always move after you plan your course. Rotating ships is poorly marked. Should be labeled rotate left or right, not "route 1" !!!.Version: 1.0
Love it, need more in tutorialWow this game is fun, very addicting just playing vs AI, I haven’t even gone head to head for real yet. Not clear on a few things like how repairs work, what certain cards like Tarred Sails mean, etc. but overall a tremendous game, I’m loving it..Version: 1.0
Engaging and funThis game took me a few trys to get the hang of it. It is not your typical game, but it is fun and challenging. I never knew how the wind and overall manpower played in the old sailing days. There are no lasers but if you like a historical game with all the realities in it, this is for you..Version: 1.0
Very strong openingThis review is acknowledging that currently this game has no real tutorial. Other than that a fantastic game with a ton to offer. Give yourself 20 mins to experiment and you will have the hang of it. If you liked Ace Patrol give this a try..Version: 1.0
Pretty good 'age of sail' gameSeems to be a solid game...at least no bugs have been found yet. It covers the basics of what is needed to make a decent age of fighting sale game. Needs single player campaigns and a multi-level difficulty setting for the IA opponent..Version: 1.0
Niche titleI loved star base orion. This game must be a niche thing, I'm sure some folks are gonna love it. Personally, I found it unpleasant in every way. If you like boat games where you can't win, ever and action that is more effective than a horse tranquilizer at sedating you, well, this game is right up your alley..Version: 1.0
Splendid tbsThe FIRST game I've had in 3 years that instantly made me want to play against another human in addition to AI. I think I might be addicted. One more turn please. It's backed by a fantastic developer as well..Version: 1.0
SailingMeh, not my thing. Couldnt even figure out to shoot and got bored quickly. Bought to support his other game, SO..Version: 1.0
Oh man, this is outstanding!Tough as nails AI, but the online play is great! It's got great depth and complexity while being really simple to play. I just get sucked in to turn after turn..Version: 1.0
Wow...Rocco is came back in updating of Orion, so regard this i bought Naval Tactics to support Chimera Softaware! But played a while I can say that N.T. is also other Gem from Chimera Software!.Version: 1.0
Awesome!One-man Dev is very involved and committed to updates. Rapid-fire updates so far based on user feedback. so much potential! Love it.Version: 1.0
