    It could be argued that not all new players want to buy a full starter set. Perhaps a cut down version will be produced as was done with Wings of Gory? In the meantime it is really good, in my view,...

    The inability to rejoin was indeed critical. A short game, but rather interesting.

    We don't often see a ship taken with little damage as we did in this game.

    Or some well timed good luck, which in some ways made up for a wind shift.

    Ifigenia Takes A Prize

    It's been a while since we have had a Sails of Glory game here, so it was well overdue when three of us gathered for a small frigate action. I took the opportunity to use the Spanish Ifigenia, a...
