Historical Strategy Re-Creations

The SNG Box Back

What You Do Not Get

No game can do everything. The SNG project has set priorities and has stuck to them. With your support the SNG Project will attempt to provide more features in subsequent releases.

With your support we can continue to create the best Internet naval wargame ever. There are many things that we would like to accomplish and with your support we can carry on with new versions, which would include the following:

State of the art sound (not just generic sounds).

SNG graphics are only functional. You do not get state of the art graphics short of 3D (3D modeling drastically reduces the number of ships so 3D is not possible if you want to play large naval battles (more than 20 ships).

Smoke screens, aircraft (searches, air attack etc), and minefields.

Tertiary batteries.

Save/Restore:
Although this is a standard feature in most games SNG does not currently have this because:

SNG can be played in a single setting of 1-4 hours.
The effort required to implement and maintain such a major feature would mean other more important features would not be as good as they now are.
Other games prioritize this feature because they need it for PBEM. The SNG multi-player implementation is far beyond the old-fashioned PBEM system.

SNG is not a perfect game. It does note handle every situation. These are described in the SNG User Manual. This is because design trade-offs were made to emphasize the most important features. These shortcomings usually inhibit unrealistic play and make SNG more historical overall.

Some players may interpret a few individual results in SNG as unsatisfying. This a personal interpretation of historical realism. However, it is likely that many other SNG players find these results historically plausible. This situation is an argument not a failure by SNG to be plausible.
