NT: CoD has been designed from the keel up to be fun, fast paced, and full of flavor so that you can focus on the thrill of commanding a ship or fleet at sea instead of tedious charts or calculations. A battle involving a dozen battleships and battlecruisers on each side can be fought to a conclusion in a couple hours while offering a play experience with significant tactical depth.
The robust optional rules system allows the game to grow with you as you gain experience - ensuring that Naval Thunder will be your naval miniatures system of choice for years to come. There are more than 20 completely modular optional rules that allow you to model historically accurate factors influencing naval combat of the era. You can pick and choose which rules to include allowing you to tailor the pace of play and level of detail to your personal preference.
Just a few examples of the kinds of historically accurate details you can add to the game include:
Poor design of British shells causing them to shatter on striking heavy armor
Poor cordite flash precautions
