    Default Coming aboard

    Hello all, I'm new to Sails of Glory, but not the age of fighting sail. Just discovered the game recently and just got my starter pack and found this site by looking for all things related to SoG. I am currently playing the alpha testing phase of Naval Action for PC, I highly recommend it, but I grew up on table top miniatures long before there were video games worth a crap and still nothing beats a fun tabletop session for me.

    I'd love to meet some SoG players in the Portland, Or area as it's either solo for me or convincing my girlfriend to a basic 1v1 haha.

    Really surprised at all the info and depth here, great site you got going.

    Welcome aboard, Mike.

    Check out our solo campaign and rules sometime: http://sailsofglory.org/forumdisplay...-Solo-Campaign

    We just started, so if you have any desire to join, let me know and I will help you develop a roster of captains.

    Best wishes encouraging your girlfriend. My wife enjoys the game, and she is not a war-gamer - a nice benefit of the easy and intuitive rule set.

    Thanks for the warm welcomes. I have just made myself some nice game boards with a little texture spray and matte ocean blue, well pleased with the results. Will be adding some white caps. I'm still running 1v1s and 2v1s against myself to get the rules memorized so the gameplay will be fluid when I get her to play. She's loved risk and stratego so far so hoping this one will be popular too.

    Welcome Mike, please post pictures of your gaming boards so we can all see, there are several other members who have been quite creative with playing surfaces.

    Another late reply - Welcome aboard. I've just joined the Decatur Armada in NA so I'll see you on the high seas on the screen if not the table top!
