What is Sea Power : Naval Combat in the Missile Age?
A single-player, pausable real-time tactics simulation of Cold War naval combat from the 1960s through the 1980s. You command NATO or Warsaw Pact ships, submarines, and aircraft, using sensors and long-range weapons to detect, track, and attack opposing forces while observing rules of engagement.
