Sails of Glory

[Landlubber]

Well, I haven't played it much myself, but I would say pretty high. There is a good selection of ships to choose from, and the plotted movement will tend to keep things fresh, I imagine.

Ruckdog, is this a game you get to play often?  Is there a decent player base for it?  I noticed the other day that my FLGS still carries a few of the starter boxes and expansions, but I've not seen it played.  I would spring for it, but with the recent news about Dystopian Legions and Planetfall (curse you Spartan Games), I don't think I'll be able to get into it anytime soon, if at all.

Sadly, I haven't been able to get many games in. I too see the minis for sale, but I have yet to see it played when I've been out to stores. Not regretting my purchase at all, becuase it is a great game with cool ships, but it does not seem to be hugely popular .

I'm setting it up at the mini wargames demo day I'm running today at my FLGS--we'll see if I can't get one or two walk-ins interested in playing.

I think that will be an easy sell! An age of sail game is very attention-grabbing, and the mechanics are easy enough to pick up that doing a quick demo will not be too hard. Good luck!

So, how did it go?

I got in another game of this with wargammer55 a few weeks back. We just played with the basic rules, but it was still a lot of fun. I have to say, getting used to the pre-plotted movement is proving to be a challenge for me!
