How to play Man of War II: Chains of Command on Mac

Game summary
The sequel to Man of War adds improved 3D graphics, allowing you to walk around your ship in a first person perspective. Your task is to command the ship, dictating what your crew is doing - repair work, navigation, preparation for battle and preparation for boarding other ships have to be balanced. Different ranks change the way you play the campaigns.
Campaigns include The Wooden Walls of England (fight as the British in the Anglo-French wars in the Channel) or John Paul Jones (where you play the hero role, and lead the American Navy). There are also 20 smaller campaigns to play through. A few distinct multiplayer modes exist to to challenge your mates, and answer the age-old question "Who is the best captain?" A scenario editor completes the package.
First released: Apr 1999
Play Man of War II: Chains of Command on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Man of War II: Chains of Command on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
