I’ll add, I played this game at gencon ‘23. Having not played the original sleeping gods I found it a little underwhelming. Ending a gaming session of Distant Skies was just ‘whenever you’re done for the day pause and pick it back up next time.’ There was no clear end or achievement. It just felt anti-climactic.

Been playing mostly wargames since the 70’s. I still have many of my old Avalon Hill and Victory Games from those days. I don’t buy much games anymore, I don’t have the time to play them much so they would mostly collect dust. However Cruel Necessity is what brought me to you, I will be watching your play of this game with great interest.

I have played through the first five scenarios of Philippine Sea, which are training scenarios. Not sure if I want to do a video of it or not. There are plenty play through videos already out there. The problem I am having with it is the forgone conclusion. It was a devastating defeat for the Japanese and they knew it would be. There is no real fear of losing and after playing the training scenarios I suddenly had no real interest in playing the full game. 🤷🏼♂️
