It’s that time once again, fellow naval gamers! Welcome to this month’s edition of the MBS Newsletter.
First off, make sure to check out Episode 7 of the MBS Podcast if you haven’t done so already! Greg and I are joined by Josh and Phil from the Firebase Delta podcast to discuss and review Firestorm Armada. There is also a couple of segments on the Battle Of Jutland for you historical types out there!
Speaking of the podcast, we are trying out something new: A Monthly Community Poll. The idea is that each month we will post a different question in the forums, and allow members to vote and comment. Then, during the following episode of the podcast, Greg and I will discuss the results and read any comments from the community. Check out this month’s poll here:
