You convinced me Gimpy. Two years after this broadcast I finally picked up this game. As an Ozzie am going to base it in Western Australia. With the COVID crisis probably will be waiting many months Fitbit to arrive.
@@nonada1191 Sucked me in. Six missions in, taking a few more risks, getting the rules digested. Sinking a ship with POW’s is too real. I know this happened to a ship carrying Australians. Still, the war goes on.
One more thing, it's easy to miss in the book. All patrols in a Narwhal or the Argonaut automatically include a Transport special mission when assigned a patrol, regardless of what the patrol assignment actually says.
Ok I missed both the refit and transport rule. Is the thing about transports in the errata or did I just miss it in the rules? Thanks for letting me know because I was planning on doing another patrol this evening
I never played Silent Victory, buy played the hunters. I agree with you, the maps change a lot the player vision, probably the immersion goes up. The correct publisher name is Consim Press :) Great Vid.
Those poor Japanese civilians. Collateral damage in your quest for tonnage ;-) Great vids mate. This looks like an awesome solitaire game. Great story creator.
Hate you for playing it safe !!! Lmao nah. Loved this video and I agree 100%, we need more kids playing with those kind of games that make you imagine, create the storyline inside your head, thats why I play so many Sport tabletop games and wargames.
I want my kids to be able to use their imaginations instead of having everything fed to them like TV/video games do now a days. I do need to get this back to the table for another turn. My last one was horrible.
Do you play any tabletop sport game ? This game and the Hunters are very well liked but I have Gato Leader from DVG. I might try to trade for this, I gotta see how Gato plays, still waiting to get to the table. By the way, thx for your service !
Love this game. I really enjoy playing this one on Vassal with the Silent Victory Companion App. You can basically play with no footprint at all. When I travel, I usually find myself playing a few patrols.
Just in case you haven't found it... there is errata for the rulebook out there on the web. A very important one is the refit error in the rulebook. it takes 2 months standard refit time, not 1. I played a few years (in game) worth of patrols before I knew this, so I had quite a few too many patrols!
6.0 Sequence of Play General Rule (correction, last sentence) Each patrol takes two months to complete (exception, Patrol Abort, 10.12), while the number of months required to complete refit can vary by circumstance (Submarine damage and/or crew injury). So patrols not refits take 2 months. Just clarifying 👍🏻

How do you like it? I'm hooked.

TheGimpyGamer the transport missions detail is near the back

It is a awesome game. I was skeptical at first but it really grows on you. I find myself thinking about my next patrol sometimes throughout the day.
@@thegimpygamer I feel the same way after missions in Target For Today and Target For Tonight.

You're welcome. No I don't do sports games. I have never been a big sports nut. Military stuff has always been of more interest to me.

Wait is ot the creator that is wrong?
Good coment
Its six or less do you even know wich is wich in more or less?
Good coment
I know how to spell which and comment 😉
No, 8 or less was correct. The - 1 was a die roll modifier, and when you need a 7 or less to hit, that DM translates to rolling an 8 or less.
