It is my sad duty to announce that Christopher Dean, NWS Store Owner/Operator, passed away this last evening: Dec 1, 2021. He was an associate of mine for 20+ years, but more importantly he was a good friend for whom I could always count on. He will be sorely missed by myself and those who knew him - Chris would always have a kind/funny thing to say to perk up someone who was down, and IMHO he truly cared about "his" customers, personally telephoning and speaking to many of them over the years about their store issues, and sometimes even just to see how they were doing.
If you purchase/recently purchased RTW2 you may PM me on these forums and I will activate your game for you, and will continue to do so as needed. I will state the following because it is something that Chris and I discussed after his wife Chininia passed away a few weeks ago: Wargames are our passion, and not just a 'job' for us. NWS is still an ongoing thing, and we will still continue to produce and market our games, including certain existing and future (such as the upcoming RTW2 Expansion) games.
The NWS Online Store is closed since apparently it is part of the estate probate process. After things get back to some sort of semblance to normal I will be putting NWS games (such as 'Steam and Iron', 'Rule the Waves' series, etc) that we have an active agreement with the developers with, up again for purchase on a new site and I will make an announcement when that happens.
Thank You and God Bless.

@williamiller So, how is the document regarding the expansion changes coming along? Can we expect a release before the DLC drop or it is intended to complement the game manual once the expansion releases? The 'Expansion Catalog' should be released within a day or two from now, actually

Two questions about the dlc are missile magazine’s going to be added like how we can set the number of ammunition for main battery? Second are carrier aircraft going to be capable of carrying missiles for strikes during the jet age? The short answer is 'yes' to both questions...however missile magazines have an absolute maximum capacity due to the far larger space requirements along with certain issues related to complexity of the systems.

I mean, HE does behave differently than AP, which was probably why it was able to get through the TT armor. Was still one hell of a lucky shot, hitting at maximum range on the right spot and getting the right event. I'm reminded of something Matt Parker (of Stand-up Maths fame) once said, over on YouTube: "It's like winning the lottery. It's amazing if it happens to you, but it's not amazing if it happens to someone." Enough shots have been fired in the game that this has almost certainly happened many times before. You were just the one who happened to notice. You (i.e. the RTW/RTW2 player base) have prob fired > 10000 times as many naval shells than were fired in all real-life naval conflicts since 1900, so there is going to be a much greater base of events for 'unlikely things' to show up. Now of course if you see this occur with any sort of regularity please report it, that may be a bug of some sort.

Maybe old ships could have their maximum speed reduced to show the damaging effects of time? For example, they could see their speed reduced 1 or 2 knots when the ship gets the (O) sign (after 10 years without a refit/rebuild). Or it could be done in stages, something like: 10 years without refit: -1 knot 15 years: -2 knots 20 years: -4 knots Older ships will show more 'aging' effects in the Expansion.

Sorry If I missed it, but I just now discover the title of the Expansion and notice the Ironclad part. Will we be able to build ships with sails and steam like "La Gloire" or the "HMS Warrior"? Thanks! At the present time we don't plan on including any sail power mechanism.

Hi, I bought the game on 11/08/2021 and sent my request for activation on 11/11/2021, so it has been three days since the activation was sent but have not received a response. Just really like the game and want to be able to play it again. Thanks PM me with your details and I will check for you, if nothing else I can activate the game for you myself. Thanks.

Also, the NWS Store, I don't see the link for the NWS Forums. Did I miss it? Hum, there should be one there...I will ping Chris Dean (NWS Store owner/operator) about that, thanks.

Thanks for the report - this appears to be an issue with part of the game engine drawing routines, we will see what we can do to resolve it. Thanks.

No solid date as of yet, all I can say is "not more than a few months" right now, sorry.

I've posted this for checking, I'm not sure offhand if that cost was changed at some point or not.
Thanks!
