A brief look at "Empire of the Sun" - A World War II Pacific War Game

Very good intro overview Gilbert! Especially with the game back in print.

The counters are clipped perfectly!

The intro to this would be the War Plan Orange done in C3I #29 recently.

Hi, thanks for the review! I would like to see your futur impression on the gameplay as you play it more. It seems to me this may be a game that explains this theatre of the war better than the books on the topic can do. But only guessing... I don't have it.

Great video as always. I bought this game last year, but being in the middle of a Covid lockdown, never got the chance to play it yet. Restrictions have eased now though, so hopefully my wait to try this one's coming to an end. Just curious Gilbert, have you tried Atlantic Chase yet? I'd be interested in your thoughts on it.

Very good vid!! I have had FITS for a few years now, but never have played it. I think VITP is more my style, but no longer have it. You put out some very interesting vids.

4 months per turn?

thanks again. good show

[@johnsy4306]

You mentioned that the other game you would give "masterpiece" status is AH's Republic of Rome. Any thoughts on the Valley Games version?

Great game, and very detailed compared to VITP for example. Obviously EOTS is not for the faint-hearted. I'm sure it will have a loyal following, leastways for the serious gamer, but I must confess VITP is the game I would likely play of the two. One wonders how long a game of EOTS would last. Quite some time I suspect (imagine playing by mail...) Excellent video. Always enjoy them. Ray Evans. UK
