News and Rumors / Re: Spruance Leader from DVG

« on: July 15, 2021, 03:46:29 pm »

I was very tempted to back this game, but I already have several of the leader games that I don't manage to get played enough. 

The theme is interesting and I would scratch the cold war itch.  Maybe after it is released and I see a few reviews, I'll decide that it will get more of my attention than the others that I've got.

Space Naval Games / Re: Space Game 2-Player Sets, and the Lack Thereof

I don't see much of anything other than the Star Wars brand games from Fantasy Flight being played around me.

I'm not sure why, but I think the gaming hotness has shifted away from space fleet games for the moment.  I won't be surprised if they come back at some point.

I don't see it as a problem, just a temporary blip.  I can continue to play the various games I already have.

Space Naval Games / Re: Anyone remember Star Trek: Fleet Captains

I hadn't played my copy for many years prior to this weekend, so was glad to get a chance to play it.

I've found the Dominion expansion for a reasonable price, but the Romulan expansion seems to be a bit more in demand and has a much higher price tag.  I think I might get the Dominion expansion and see how it plays and wait to see if I can find a deal at some point on the Romulan expansion.

Space Naval Games / Anyone remember Star Trek: Fleet Captains

« on: June 30, 2021, 02:12:48 pm »

I pulled out an older game from my collection to play this past weekend.

Star Trek: Fleet Captains really gives a nice feel to the show with a variety of missions from combat, influence, and science.  It has it's faults, but we had a good time.

For those that have played it, what do you think of the expansions.  I only have the base game, but am very tempted to get the Romulan and Dominion expansions.

Roll Call / Hello from Land Locked Nebraska

« on: June 09, 2021, 11:51:27 am »

Hello everyone.

My name is Sean and I found the forum after getting introduced to the podcast through a link to the Victory at Sea review.  I've been listening to old episodes and am enjoying it so far.

I've played various games over the years (Dystopian Wars, Full Thrust, Victory at Sea, Star Trek: A Call to Arms, among others) and enjoy the hobby side as much as actually playing games.

I look forward to seeing all the goodies here on the forum.
