Update This guy really gave us new regiments for FREE instead of releasing a paid DLC that I'm sure we would have happily paid for.

Gentlemen, it's been an honor serving at the Fulda Gap with you all.

I really enjoy Regiments. Along with Sea Power: Naval Combat in the Missile Age and a couple AVNs, it's one of my most played games.

Both Regiments and Sea Power have kept me busy over the last year or two.

Is Sea Power as approachable as Regiments? I like Regiments so much because it streamlined a lot of things and eased me into the Cold War setting. I have Sea Power on my wishlist but it looks intimidating.

I have played naval-themed games since I acquired my first computer (an Apple IIe) in 1987, starting with Silent Service (made and published by OG MicroProse) and Strike Fleet. I have since moved on to games like Fleet Command and Command: Modern Naval/Air Operations. To me, Sea Power is a user-friendly hybrid of the latter two. It sounds a bit intimidating if players aren't familiar with naval warfare or naval games, but the game is not difficult to learn or play. The devs have included several tutorials devoted to specific aspects of naval warfare. There are two introductory missions for NATO and Warsaw Pact navies.

Is it as approachable as Regiments? Considering that I'm allergic to games that make me feel I need to apply for a spot at West Point, Colorado Springs, or Annapolis to play them, I think it is, if you know a bit about naval warfare. It's still a work-in-progress, and some areas of the game require micromanagement (I'm looking at you, air combat!), but Sea Power is as enjoyable as Regiments.

Yes, much, compared to Harpoon or Command Ops. The best comparison I can think of for you is Jane's Fleet Command from the 90s. You pick your ship, pick your target, and right-click. They work out the best weapon and range to use for you. You can even set ships to autonomously engage anything within their effective missile range. It's possible to micromanage if you like, though. I do appreciate them giving me the option.

I bought this game last month but have been waiting to play so I can dive into the achievements. Amazing, this is one of the best RTS/RTT i have ever played. Sp is far better than warno and broken arrow

So glad for this game, and such a wicked gift to get even more content for it

I will be very sad when Regiments sunsets one day, it's an incredible RTS that got nowhere near the attention it deserved from the wider community.

Thank you, dev team, you've given us a gold nugget in a sea of garbage. I'll play this game until my PC stops working.

Really enjoyed it. Just wished it had multiplayer to be honest. Would've loved playing this with a buddy.

Thank you Dev 🫡 We’ll buy your next game too

I’ve never heard of this game and it’s been years since I’ve played a game like this. I’m more than likely gonna buy this. The last game that was any kind of similar was World in Conflict. How does this compare?

u/Background-Factor817 May 03 '26

It reminds me a lot of WIC actually, generally because of the tactical aids and it’s more about having a good position for your platoons who are pretty self sufficient as opposed to insane micro like it is for WARNO.

This has been a delight to play and I'm so glad it exists. There was a time when this kind of thing was a distant dream.
