  Went to the one company's website saw their rules for ancient Naval combat. Corvus. Looks very interesting. My biremes n triremes have been looking for some interesting rules

  Thank you for all your efforts and work involved in your videos, very enjoyable. May I ask how you "playtest" card driven games? I mostly game solo, and the trend to card driven games, whereby a lot of tension and enjoyment comes from not knowing what cards your opponent has/is going to play, is unsuitable for solitaire play. Anyway, great stuff. Cheers.

  @buckospiffle594 Thanks for your kind words, and glad you are enjoying the channel. Cdg are a tricky one and there is no perfect answer ....sometimes i play both sides and try not to think about the other hands, sometimes use a solo bot if available, bgg often has great stuff produced by other gamers. My other technique is to pick several cards i would potentially use and roll randomly to decide which one...i often play solo myself so appreciate this is not an easy fix :)

  Good review thanks. I’ve got one game, Cassino. Came very quickly, excellent production values and it looks like a an interesting system. BUT. I haven’t played any of the four games in the box. The problem is the rules. The translation isn’t good enough for me to be confident that I am playing the game correctly. Unlike Westerplatte it is a moderately complex system and I think it needs someone fluent in English, Polish AND a board gamer to translate the rules effectively. This is such a shame. This is a quality product, which seems excellent value for money, with a great range of titles and the company deserve a far bigger audience.

  Completely agree with your assessment of VV - really love how they cover a lot of topics "off a beaten path". Unfortunately, both ancient tactical game I've had a while back and more recent Wattignies 1793 I've tried were duds, with rules somehow not "clicking" for me. Plus the graphics is really nice but I much prefer same graphics for the same unit types. Not giving up on them yet, though, have a few more titles to try😁

  Very nice! I am a fan of the old Baccus Polish range as most of my Poles are these as well, I feel the scale of the cavalry is slightly better than in the new range. But I must admit that once one gets their hands on the new models, one really does miss the bendy lances and breaking off banners of the old hussars.

  I love it that you did not put those hideous labels on top of the bases. If necessary put them underneath. Otherwise what's the point. You may was well use counters. The beauty of 2mm or to some extent 6mm is that you can make the table look like an actual full scale batter. So lablels defeat the purpose. IMHO
