Dreadnoughts

ZX Spectrum · 1983 · WOR

Also known as: El Acorazado (SP)

Publisher: M. C. Lothlorien · Developer: M.J. Dora

It is a winter's day in late 1914; the 'Great War ' is four months old, and in the North Sea two battle fleets are set on a collision course. The composition of the fleets is identical: four battle cruisers, four light cruisers and 12 destroyers. With six hours of daylight remaining, the two commanders sight each other's smoke. The battle is about to commence. nnThis is one of Lothlorien's Warmaster series of battle strategy games, and the first sea-based one. The game is played between two people, and like the time-honoured Battleships game played on paper, each player should have private and secret access to his information, which is done via a secret three-letter code inputted at the start. The game is played out in 24 moves, a move simulating 15 minutes of real time, and on four levels, representing the number of enemy Dreadnoughts which must be destroyed to win. There are three phases to play. First each player in turn goes through his Decision Phase and then there is an Action Execution phase.
