I want to say that one little change could change a lot in gameplay, supply did it. If you playing Caroline Island, first thing you do - you gather all fleet at one point and try to destroy the enemy, I did the same here playing USA and see that I am going to loose support points on next turn, it's okay if I succeed but if I loose some ships it'll be the problem ... this changes how you planing your opretaions .... finally with small fleet and very expensive big ship you thinking how much you can affort attack or blockade, this is much interesting than just simple struggle.

Also modern ships fights much more intense, even you have only 2 cruisers (not even battleships) but one of them can destroy 2-4 gunboats or frigates, take a lot of damage and with fire and water in hull safely flee the fight.

You should try it! Of course only if you already been playing Ironclads or ready to read manual to understand simple but unique naval strategy rules.
