So glad you pronounced Eugen correctly. I could not finish the review that continually said Prince Eugene.... You have a new follower.

This game is a HUGE pleasant surprise! It's roll'n'write maybe, but it's decisions all the way and a real wargame challenge! It's going to be a big Christmas hit so here's all the details you need! :)

Great review as always, Solo! Another option I'll add for those who don't want to write directly in the book is to use an iPad/tablet if you have one. You can take a pic with the camera and just mark that up.

@@Demy1970 Take a picture of the page. If you have a photo editing app (there are free ones), you can import it and just start marking it up as you would the physical version. Best with Apple Pencil but you can use your fingers too.

Just ordered the game - great review and play through. Looking forward to playing it. Going to use zip enclosure sheet protectors I picked up from Staples store. They open up on the long side of the sheet. I assume the pages are 8.5x11 inches? Also have dry erase markers.

Awesome overview! I saw this mentioned on a forum I visit and then remembered that your video was in my queue. Have you seen that there are a number of similar books available as well? ~ So what happens when your Bismarck was sunk? Is that game over and start again or do you just try the mission again? And if you sink the Hood is it out of the game in the next mission? I’m definitely thinking of picking this up, or one of the similar book games. Thanks for the great video!
@soloboardgaming
@soloboardgaming 3 жыл бұрын
Good question! Each game/mission is a full reset. All forces on each side start with all vessels. In this way, it is not a 'campaign'. I understand that other bookgames are out there and I'm sure they're worth exploring. This has been very successful so I think there's a big untapped market. I for one would love to learn more because it's such a fabulous format!

Which do you prefer bismarck solitaire or waterloo solitaire? I am a very casual solitaire gamer who prefers something "not too thinky" and around 30 mins max. Thanks!
@soloboardgaming
@soloboardgaming 2 жыл бұрын
Thank you for your comment! Difficult to choose, and it depends on your interest. Personally, prefer Bismarck a little more. But Waterloo plays just slightly quicker on average. But both games are approx 30 - 45 mins.

Hi thanks for taking a look! Yeh, that's what it's for and there are several copies of each difficulty level so you can do each one 3 times. And I use a 5B pencil which is very soft so easily erased if I ever do want to do that. Some people photocopy, others use an acetate so all options are there.

Clip on a clear sheet of mylar or small plastic sheet- buy a small picture frame with a plastic photo cover. China markers/grease pencil come right off the plastic.

And another one I'll order right away... you drive me poor! ;) But I find it a bit unfortunate that they use the rather horrid Amazon book printing (almost every single book printed by Amazon tends to wear out very soon, losing its plastic covering and generally feels very cheap). As the book itself isn't that cheap I would expect a better quality here. Anyway, still no reason not to order it. ;)
