Also, the one negative review I saw on Steam stated that naval warfare was one of the big reasons for it.
EDIT: I changed my review to "not recommend". It may seem to be countering the summary and my multiple praises, but the sea battle system broke it for me. It is so unrealistic, gamey and obsolete that it turns sea battles into individual skirmishes between ships, rather than grand battles as in the real world. As you can imagine, the attacker gets to choose what to do and he can use his heavy ships to destroy your light ships before you get to react - you have to wait for your turn, there is no automatic firing. This is something that Panzer General from the 90s did much better and this is inexcusable. I tried to love this game, but it's not nearly as good as I expected.

I'm liking War Plan from Matrix right now for strat level hex counter computer game. It plays well and the naval aspect actually works well.

Just pulled the trigger on FoG:E, SC: WWI, and War Plan. I'm so glad my birthday is in November and my Matrix anniversary coupon comes in the beginning of December.
