For Immediate Release:

Storm Eagle Studios is proud to announce JUTLAND, the 2nd installment utilizing our ground breaking Distant Guns 3D Combat Engine!

Set in the treacherous waters of the 1916 North Sea, JUTLAND delivers the most detailed World War One naval experience ever released for PC Wargaming!

In addition to covering the largest clash of Battleships in history, current plans for JUTLAND include many additional North Sea battles and the huge 1916 North Sea Naval Campaign pitting Kaiser Wilhelm's glorious Dreadnaught Fleet against Britain's finest.

CEO of Storm Eagle Studios, Jim Rose, said "JUTLAND is the natural next step for the Distant Guns 3D engine. The success of our award winning debut title, DISTANT GUNS, yielded a solid 3D code base for JUTLAND to expand and build upon. Sixteen (16) mile ranges, improved fire control, and the first modern naval architecture are just a few reasons that we are excited about it! Norm Koger, our Chief Technology Officer, has raised the bar again. Our development team continues to deliver an amazing consistency of detail and game experience."

Projected Release Date: Fall 2007

nonsense, there is plenty of demand!

how hard is it anways?

Actually i think all they have to do is give it to MacSoft and they make it mac-ready and then of course they get a percent of the profits for the mac editions - which is fair i think, considering the makers are still making money they wouldn't have to begin with.

Wow, this sounds awesome. I think that they should also add some of the commerce raiding things that happened too. Like the Emden and maybe the battle down by the Falklands. I dunno maybe im asking a little much but it would be a fun scenario.
