Shrapnel Games has announced that Salvo! has now left the
port of Shrapnel Warehouse, North Carolina and is sailing full speed ahead into
consumers hands.

Salvo!, which retails for $39.95 is available for both Windows and Mac operating systems. Salvo! ships in a DVD-style box (no DVD-ROM
needed for play though) and includes a full printed manual (as is always the case
with Shrapnel Games). There is a demo
available at www.shrapnelgames.com/Sprue/Salvo/6.htm, which includes a full
campaign from the retail game to play!

Salvo! is a "tactical" naval combat game covering
the Age of Sail era, from the 17th century until the 19th century. All manner of engagements are represented,
from duels involving just a few vessels to large scale clashes that would make
Nelson proud. Salvo!, while designed
for maximum playability, includes a great deal of features that help make it a
true-to-life naval experience.
Commanders will deal with shallow water, land masses, variable wind,
boarding actions, and more. Plenty of
chrome makes an appearance too, such as shore batteries and fire ships.

Featuring a wide range of combatants from the
major seafaring powers of the time (including pirates), and branching campaigns
for great replayability, Salvo! is a game that will keep the fight alive on
your monitor. Speaking of fighting,
thanks to Salvo!'s highly intuitive "Action Marker" and squadron
control system gamers never have to fight the game itself to play, even when
dealing with armadas of ships. With
beautifully rendered 3D graphics that instantly communicate the state of the
battle to you Salvo! is one of the easiest wargames to pick up and play.

Salvo! can be purchased in the StrategyPage Game Store.
