What ABG knows about this game
Space Combat in the Universe of Honor Harrington! Saganami Island Tactical Simulator uses the critically acclaimed Attack Vector: Tactical Game Engine to put YOU in command of the ships of the Honorverse. Thrill to the long range missile duel, dancing in 3-D vector space, unleashing the fury of laser heads. Or close in to "kissing distance" and unleash the titanic fury of grasers and lasers! Extensively researched, SITS has new material on the ships and doctrines of the Royal Manticoran Navy and the People's Republic Navy that have never been published before. Mixing rich tactical depth with easy to use Newtonian movement, SITS builds on the novels details to set the tactical parameters for the Honorverse combat Fully 3-dimensional, SITS has two game scales - the tactical game scale has 12 minute turns, and 1 light second hexes. The system scale has 25 light second hexes, and 1 hour turns, making the pursuit to the hyper limit a challenging tactical puzzle.
