I just got this game (mostly due to your rec) and holy cow...it was so much fun. I too like the stories it tells. Really gives you an idea of some of the fog of war and the decisions they needed to make. CAP but not too much...can I converge on the convoy? Searching the correct grid and...BAM! Bad weather and my scouts see nothing and the convoy slips away from a "sure" sinking. So much fun. Thanks for the review. Would love to take classes from you! Keep it up. -Dan

Thank you, sir. Much appreciated.

There was that one time when Cody got into a fight with Ariel in the Coral Sea. Silly Ariel brought a Dinglehopper to a sub hunt.

Want to play more solo games but get distracted when sit down to play. Most success with Tarawa 1942.

It’s a different way to play games for sure. You’ve got to keep yourself honest.

This definitely looks interesting. Watching the review I kept wondering whether it would work to find a couple of old copies of Battleship, cut the prongs off the the bottom of the carriers, and use them to represent the Yorktown, Lexington, etc. to give it a bit more pop. :)

Those models might be a bit too big for the squares, I'm afraid

Wife just showed up with this game, On To Moscow, and Guadalcanal. Have you done a review of the other two by chance?

I’ve done On To Moscow, but haven’t had a chance to do Guadalcanal yet.

Coral reminds me of how I personally cope with the mother in law.... .. ... ... .. because she makes me feel like an empty shell of a man and I sneak outside when in her presence and smoke a coral reefer.

Thanks for sharing. I've heard the same about the rulebook from other players. Is there an errata or some such for it?

Why is the movement using squares instead of hexes?

Not everything needs to be hexes. Instead of searching the four cardinal points, you'd be searching six directions - longer game.

i like board games that are board games….

Wow! Another great game reviewed by you and your channel that i will *not find* in our "Friendly Local Ga......No. You know what i just can't. The ol' "F.L.G.S." hasn't been a "F.L.G.S." for almost a "decade" on now an just no. i haven't bought a game there in "eight years!" It only exists for Euros, Wine tasting, an' givin' uppity folk a reason to use their favorite word: "Ameritrash." i don't like buying *everything* off Amazon, but i'm not supporting *that* kind of talk! What's happened to the "F.L.G.S." Cody? Now it's Amazon or the U..L.G.S. (Y'know where they sell all the WarHammer stuff and don't even *pretend* to be "Friendly." However, they are *damned* good at their jobs!) xD
