Action Stations! (video game)
Action Stations! is a 1990 video game published by Conflict Analytics. Gameplay. "Action Stations!" is a game in which the surface officer's art of war at sea is simulated. Each player gave orders to his ships for the next 3 minutes of game time. The orders were then executed simultaneously by the computer. The graphics were primitive but game play was detailed with provisions for salvo chasing, spotting of the fall of shot by aircraft, flares dropping by aircraft and the use of smoke for cover. There were many scenarios from a small one with  the German Graf Spee against 3 Allied cruisers to large scenarios like the battles around Ironbottom Sound. Each ship had detailed armour specifications and comprehensive data about the types of guns each had with rates of fire and penetration being taken into account. Legacy. "Action Stations! Scenario Utility Disk" was also released. Reception. Lt. H. E. Dille reviewed the game for "Computer Gaming World", and stated that "a superlative first effort. The play value is superb and completion of all the scenarios included with the game could take players up to a year of standard play to master." Bob Proctor  reviewed the "Action Stations! Scenario Utility Disk" for "Computer Gaming World", and stated that "No matter how much one enjoys the basic "Action Stations!" program, this new module offers something to extend every wargamer's enjoyment of the product."
