The game Armada is another entry in a row of historic wargames by Dr. Peter Turcan. This time it is focusing on the battle between the English fleet and Spanish Armada invaders, which took place near Plymouth on July 31st, 1588. You may either play as Lord Howard or Medina-Sidonia. It is also possible to play a two-player game, or to take neither side (watching the computer playing both sides).
The gameplay involves observing the battlefield in 3D perspective and issuing orders up to 30 times using a pre-defined text format that includes names of commanders, places, and time of execution. You will receive reports from your subordinates on whether or not your orders have been carried out completely, while watching the battlefield yourself.
