This guy is hard to watch due to the fact he knows nothing about his ships, but is in command of them. How does one command, and deploy the correct units when you do not know their capabilities??? Looks a lot like Jane's Fleet Command, but hopefully a lot better. I say this as I was not able to watch this guy fumble through the video trying to play.

Something I will look more into though.
