Outstanding review... Just in Time for Christmas too! There is precious little to choose from in the submarine genre, and this looks ideal for a game involving the 'silent service'. Thanks again!
Thanks for making this video, you did a nice job making everything easy to read. This is one I've been wondering about, just added it to my Christmas list.
Thanks marco, I'm asking myself between buying FC Napoleon or this one, I just love FC Rommel and Hornet leader, so perhaps buying the 2 ? Argh, my wallet will suffer ! Love the dark setting and the cold weather jacket for feeling the theme :)
@marcowargame, what happen to your cards ? it seems a bit frayed on their edge.. btw how do you compare UBL component to HLCAO / PL ? i read some comments on BGG that UBL component is subpar compared to HLCAO
Cheers for the review - I've been really thinking about grabbing one of the leader games and this really appealed. May give it a try once Skyrim stops draining every free moment of my life ;)
@metal134: evading is too powerful an action in the rules as described; the designer made a correction that's available on BGG, and that makes the game much more challenging.
I looked for the designer correction in the 'file' section of U-boat Leader on BGG and did not find it. Is it in the new 'U-Boat Leader - Tactical Expansion Baseline v1.zip' file? Otherwise, in which file would it be? Many thanks for yet another great video!
This makes me want to re-install Silent Hunter 3 for some reason. Trouble is it's been so long. I had several mods to make it even more realistic, even more of a simulation, and I can't remember them. :(

Thanks, Marco.
Although, I don't usually think of Corsairs as strike aircraft.
Great review Marco. I bought Hornet Leader based on your review and am very satisfied with the game. I now have U-Boat Leader on my wish list as well.
I hope so! actually they DO have a title on that setting, it is Corsair Leader
Thanks Marco! Great work as always!

Have you had the opportunity to try Gato Leader by any chance? Does it push the series forward? Or is it more of the same?

Any chance DVG is going to release a WW2 version of the Hornet/Phantom Leader series?
hi,
it is not in the files but in one of the forum threads
What was the loophole in the rules that you mentioned?

@5350drolet i think dan verssen is already converting some of the air leader series to computer gaming format, phantom leader is this spring
that should be also great for a computer game

You can tell Marco must be at home with the little ones and wife in bed, sleeping.
Marco , Have you noticed that there is a real world out there to explore ?.
