Spruance Leader - First Look
Ойындар
An overview of the components and thoughts on gameplay in the latest release from Dan Verssen Games' "Leader" series: Spruance Leader.
Spruance Leader is the first foray for this venerable series into the naval realm and serves up some interesting "Cold War gone hot" gameplay. It has all the hallmarks of the Leader series with some special twists for its nautical theme.
This video is the first in a series covering the game and its (currently) three expansion: Carriers, Submarines and Allies. This entry is a look at the base game's components and a general overview of how it works and how it ties into the Leader series.

Excellent first look. Much better than just an unboxing.

Thanks - I was hoping to hear that!
Nice overview. I hate box openings but I love this.

Thanks! I agree that the typical unboxing video doesn't offer a whole lot. One thing about them is that they're pretty easy to make which I think is part of the reason we get so many of them (and yes, I've done some of them too). But with this one I wanted to provide a little bit more than just seeing the components. Very happy to hear that people are enjoying this approach!
Your verdict then: is this game only worth it if you buy it with all the expansion? Besides that, i find the shrinking range box sizes a bit cramped.

I think base + carriers would be ideal for most. The base game is nice, and certainly playable, but the Carrier expansion is, imo, the best part of the game. The Subs are good too, but that's almost a separate game in itself. So it depends on whether you want to play with the submarines. Same for the Allies - it's nice, but if you're not interested in the other NATO forces, the base game + Carriers will be more than enough (it comes with some British ships & a Falklands scenario, as does the Carrier expansion).
I won’t waste my time and money on this stupid game. The game was designed as a money grab by requiring you to purchase extra expansion packs in order to play a complete game that includes naval aviation. The game itself plays on the arcade level, whereas Blue Water Navy and the older Victory Games “Fleet Series” gives you everything on a strategic level, with no expansion packs.
