In the demo you have the option of both tactical and strategical battles. In PBW/PBEM games you only have the strategical option.
You send your turn with your ships orders - you wait - you receive the next turn - you watch the replay - you kick the wall in frustration asking yourself why you didn’t tell your ships to …. instead

Playing PBW takes commitment and time. A small 1 on 1 game like in the King of the Hill league can be done in a week with the right opponent (and maybe take 5 - 10 hours of actual playing time), a large 10+ player game can go on for a year or more.
