Storm Eagle Studios has released a trial version of Distant Guns, their strategic naval warfare simulation. Set during the 1904-1905 war between Russia and Japan, the focus is on destroyers firing on each other over vast distances (hence the title), with the laudably authentic gameplay portraying just how long such battles could take. Both single and multiplay modes are included.

The 279 MB trial is limited to thirty launches over a period of thirty days, but these limitations can be removed by purchasing a full license. The trial can be downloaded from 3D Gamers - however a name and valid e-mail address is required for activation.
