Get the Salvo! v1.5 patch off WP (31mb)

Inspired in part by the great naval paintings of that era, Salvo has been designed from the keel up to provide an engrossing gameplay experience that allows armchair master and commanders to effortlessly face off against mighty armadas using a very intuitive interface. Players will be able to command fleets of close to sixty ships per side in a single battle with just a few clicks of the mouse, thanks to the unique 'Action Marker' system found in the game. With this system orders can be given to each individual ship in a scenario, or ships can be moved by squadron, allowing large scale engagements to be easily managed.

The Salvo 1.5 update provides added functionality and new features, including:

• Macromedia Crash Fixed
• Damage Adjustment
• Play Fixes
• Added PBEM Function
• Added HotSeat Function
