The entire game is my "Magic Moment"!! Naval Action has obviously struck a chord with many devotees of the "Age of Fighting Sail"!!! All other attempts at creating similar games in the past pale in comparison. As stated by others, this is truly a dream come true. I have been a student of naval history since I read the entire Hornblower/C S Forester series in High School, followed by fictional series by other naval fiction authors over the last 40+ years: Ramage/Pope, Bolitho/Kent, Delancey/Parkinson, Aubrey/O'Brian, Drinkwater/Woodman, Mainwaring & Gallant/Susthren, and more recently Hayden/Russell, Cutler/Hammond, and Lewrie/Lambdin. This led to an extensive library on biographies of Nelson and other Naval Heroes of the time as well as non-fiction tomes on nautical history, sailing and combat during the18th and early part of the 19th Centuries. I even took up sailing small day-sailors in my college years. This game replicates the sailing experience quite accurately but my first truly "MM" was during combat in a night action with cannon fire lighting up the screen!!
I am not a "Gamer" - NA is the only game I play. This game has allowed me to experience in a "dry" setting an approximation of what it was like to participate in naval combat of this time period, something I have always dreamed of - which is now a reality - and get this - we are only just completing the "Alpha/Beta stage"!!!
For all those impatient players with "Toxic" comments - remember that this is not a completed game and patience with the devs is warranted considering the amazing complexity and realism of this game. I have 3441 hours into this game and do not regret 1 hour of it - what out there is better??
Thanks again and kudos to all who have participated in bringing this game to fruition.
ps - apologies for the long list of fictional works - by I so enjoyed reading them I thought others interested in this genre might try some of them.
