I've been on a 18th century warfare kick lately. Muskets, cannons, age of sail warships broadsiding each other, the works.

Recently bought a computer game (Empire: Total War) that plays right into this month's obsession.

My question, is if anyone has seen an RPG along those lines? I'm thinking something I can play online, like a text/table top game.

I found this odd-war game called skirmisher. Not quite what I was looking for, but still interesting. But it doesn't seem to be operational. I started a battalion and nothing is happening. (www.skirmisher.net).

I'm still looking but it's a big internet. Any advice?

I can not see that side, but i keep to look for it.

Total War series has been out for a while the some the first games in the series were Shogun: Total War and Medieval: Total War before it was picked up by a different developer. The late 90's had Age of Empires which was based on the concept of increasing technology based on era by researching the next era once enough resources were accumulated they should be available in the bargain rack now. Similar games were Rise of Nations and Empire At War.

If you are looking for a table top game that should sate your interest in naval warfare, check out "Enemy in Sight". You can probably find some folks playing it on boardgamegeeks.com

Well I think you can play the game but at the same time you have to check all the things with the telephone line because the speed of the game and the performance is depends on the network line.
