Title: Ultimate Admiral: Age of Sail

Anyone grabbed this one yet? For the life of me, on the game description I'm not seeing if it's turn based or a RTS.

This is basically Ultimate General at sea, so real-time pausable. I like the way Ultimate general looks, but it tends to be insufficiently groggy for me. I may well end up grabbing this though, because ships.

It's so good, just started the British campaign.  I know these games aren't as "simulator-ey" as something like say scourge of war, but the user interface is great and they're just way too fun. Have like 200+ hours on Ultimate General Civil War so I got this the moment it came out.
