Black Seas - How to Play

[@Glowoid]

Yes! That's what I've been waiting for. Since I've got no time to play it's always god to see someone else do that. Another great job from you. Wish you all well.

[@AllMiniaturesGreatandSmall]

Thanks! appreciate it! We should have a battle report coming in the next few weeks.

[@BlackRazor54]

It would have to go up to 1861-65 to cover the ACW, I think you meant the AWI & FIW.

[@MegaParillo]

FIW was 1750's to 1763.

[@KolgartsMiniatures]

Awesome video! Black seas is such a fun game and the models are beautiful

[@DWilly116]

New player here, and I really appreciate your patient review of the rules, which are not really clear when you are reading them for the first time!

[@AllMiniaturesGreatandSmall]

I still have questions every time I play, so I'm glad i could help!

[@PaladinDragoon]

Picked up the boxed set after watching this.

[@AllMiniaturesGreatandSmall]

Are you listening, #Warlordgames ? :)

[@Tinytraveler]

My partner just got the Master and Commander starter box, thank you very much for this tutorial video. Loving your content!

[@ACL84Fla]

This looks like a really fun game. Looking forward to some battle reports!

[@matheusamorim6521]

Does this game have terrain? Do the collision rules apply to it too? Great video by the way!

[@AllMiniaturesGreatandSmall]

It does have rules for terrain and if i remember right it does damage.

[@hdavies0]

Great video thank you. Can you confirm who manufactures that battle map please. Thanks.

[@luisjosueblasavila2814]

I'm torn between this game and Oak and iron by firelock games. Do you have any thoughts to guide a curious viewer?

[@AllMiniaturesGreatandSmall]

I wish I could but I really don't know anything about Oak and Iron. I guess it could be what time period interests you the most. O&I covers 1650-1750 and Black Seas covers 1770-1830.

[@tswims92]

Great video and looks like a fun game that isn’t too complicated to learn quickly. A lot of pieces/markers to get used to though. Also not to nitpick, and it’s on the game designer but when you were explaining/demonstrating tacking, you actually jibed. You tack through the wind so the bow goes through irons and the windward side changes, but during a jibe the wind stays on the same side. It obviously doesn’t make much of a difference but I think it could be a good skill check to either tack, jibe, or stop and “anchor”.

[@AllMiniaturesGreatandSmall]

Thanks for the clarification on tack/jib. Some parts of the rulebook are a little vagueeand it could probably use an FAQ but so far I'm really enjoying it.

[@_Areknames_]

Great job in explaining and bringing concrete examples, could please link the other black Seas video you made in the description ? thank you and keep on!

[@AllMiniaturesGreatandSmall]

Hi I created a black seas playlist and we currently are editing our first Black Seas battle report which should be the next Batrep we release.

[@TheLoxapac]

Thank you very much, i'm currently traduicing the rules in french for my gaming association, and it helps with the few questions i had about the wording of the rules (about collisions and boarding for exemple. )

[@ManJackThe]

Nice video, very clear! Are you planning to do battle reports as well?

[@AllMiniaturesGreatandSmall]

you bet! We are scheduled to film one in two weeks.

[@NCordaro321]

I know you are a historical gamer but just out of curiosity have you heard about Kings Of War: Armada yet? If so are you interested in it? The rules are based on this game with a fantasy twist to it. The ships look absolutely beautiful with the sails cast in resin so no more gluing the sails on or messing with thread. The first 2 factions are humans and orcs to release in November and undead and dwarves to be released in January.

[@AllMiniaturesGreatandSmall]

I saw the release video, looks interesting. Don't think I will get into it though unless they send me a review copy. Some of the ships look cool, personally I thought the dwarves were looking a little underwhelming. I've don't so many fantasy base naval games and they just seem to all die off. Man-o War, the Spartan games one, (I cant even remember that one.), etc.

[@NCordaro321]

@@AllMiniaturesGreatandSmall I agree, the dwarves looked a little lackluster but I simply fell in love with those Orc ships.

[@tri-starwargaming]

Well done! Great work guys, keep it up

[@qwertyman459]

ive been looking for a pirates game this looks good. question do i have to paint anything or make things, because i hate that. i just want a fun game.

[@AllMiniaturesGreatandSmall]

Lots of assembly and painting is required for this game, sorry!

[@holysmoke8439]

Oak n iron

[@JohnnyMcNabb63]

Have you seen the new game called king of war armada.. it is based on black sails with some small changes. Preorder is now and comes out in November. It’s by Mantic games. It’s Black sail in a fantasy setting with plastic ships.

[@AllMiniaturesGreatandSmall]

I've seen it. I'm kinda torn though. Some ships look good, others eh, reminds me of Man-o-War and the Fantasy game that Spartan Games put out, name escapes me. On the other side I'm really enjoying Black Seas... so maybe?

[@eddieharr]

This game looks so fun. ordering now!

[@redemissarium]

this vs galley&galleon, which better?

[@AllMiniaturesGreatandSmall]

Never played that one so I can't tell you, however this game is fun, that's for sure.

[@redemissarium]

@@AllMiniaturesGreatandSmall this game is more detail, g&g kinda more simplistics . likes, instead of detail of gun number the data only show class/combat rating without detail whatsoever so all galleon rated 5, all galley rated 3 or something like that...which is probably make it more suitable for earlier pre ship of the line era since most ships back then are more mass produced-- ottoman at lepanto have 270+ galleons and those mostly have very similar specs..

[@giovannizotti8549]

Can two ships board at the same time the same enemy ship? I hope there is a painting guide inside the rulebook.

[@AllMiniaturesGreatandSmall]

Yes, I believe two ships can board at the same time. The guild is sparse but there. The rigging guide in the rulebook is very helpful though.

[@saml9772]

Please don’t get me wrong I’m not nit picking just helping . You didn’t explain initial broadside pluses and Musket fire at point blank. It’s always easy to see someone’s mistakes then it’s to see your own.

[@AllMiniaturesGreatandSmall]

Thanks! I appreciate any input!

[@jamesmunro8672]

Great video!

[@GI.Jared1984]

The sheer amount of double entendres😂

[@g1stylempdesign929]

That was a great breakdown of the essentials. I’m about to get my first two ships and the rule book in the mail this coming week. Very interested in seeing how they play the USS Constitution and the USS Essex

[@allsanfer]

Thank you

[@Edward-Plantagenet]

Nice video. Timely too seeing as I was considering this or Victory at Sea. This certainly seems to have a lot more to it and a lot more character, VaS looks a bit dull.

[@AllMiniaturesGreatandSmall]

VaS could be interesting but the built in basing is losing me.

[@Edward-Plantagenet]

@@AllMiniaturesGreatandSmall Yes, I watched a gameplay video, just looked like move the ships in an direction you want then roll dice until one sinks :(

[@getoffyoubassandletsfish8565]

I usually spend $30 when doing laundromat

[@rcspaintserviceandgaming]

ACW was in the 1860s

[@1977ajax]

'Fire as -she bears- they bear.' They = the guns. It's a mistake in the printed rules.

[@mdstmouse7]

closer to the wind makes no sense. wouldnt it be whoever has the best attitude?

[@spectra7gaming471]

Typhoon

[@lkocsis2473]

Thanks for the tutorial, now it's clear to me to this game is just a poor copy of Sails of glory.

[@spectra7gaming471]

Who thought of that grand theft auto 4 shit?

[@captainmalheur]

American Civil War 1861.....

[@docsavage8640]

I didn't realize the American Civil War occurred 30 years earlier than the history books claim.

[@sb0ng3]

First thing I thought

[@lucifig_prime]

The American Civil war with in the 1860's...

[@AllMiniaturesGreatandSmall]

Sorry, I'm also painting up ACW Ironclads at the same time so I get my wires crossed.

[@SeanPGorman]

What a disappointment. Ships sail faster across the wind, not down wind. That completely turns me off.

[@alexanderbrougham6405]

True for modern ships, but the square-rigged ships featured in this game would have had a hard time sailing at a beam reach. It isn't inaccurate for them to perform better running with the wind.
