Gato Leader ReviewThru Part 1

[@markewald6995]

I just ordered this game, so finding this video is pure serendipity. I've watched Zilla Blitz's play thru series of Shermam Leader, so I'm at least acquainted with the game engine. Can't wait to jump into the action!

Hope the videos help and welcome to the channel

[@ChristopherWalrath]

Thanks, Gimp. I have Hunters/Ed and was looking at this definitely on the radar. Thanks, man.

[@stevebarham-nokes8781]

Thanks Gimpy, have this game but wanted a good playthru video before launching into it.

[@StukaJoe]

Very nice video, Gimpy. Love the 60fps and the close-ups. Everything can be seen clearly. Cheers.

[@thegimpygamer]

Wonder where I got the idea to do more close ups? 😉

[@StukaJoe]

Hmmm. I have no idea .... who would ever do such thing? Salud!

[@vincec5260]

Excellent intro! :) Thanks :)

Just got the game yesterday so I'm late to the party. Great two-part video, it's helping me work through the rule book and first campaign. You mention the larger tactical board....it would seem it's available only in the Miniatures expansion pack, or did I miss something and it's available elsewhere. I am just not interested in the extra $$$ for the miniatures. Thanks.

[@ericbrooks1562]

this or silent victory/the hunters(ed)? One you like best?

[@thegimpygamer]

Silent victory

[@viperdave5260]

maybe for security they were on there but don't know. I just remember in one of the war movies the SP's for the brink were marines.

[@robertbout9924]

The only marines on subs I know is dropping off raiders.

[@NoEnemiesHere]

Thanks, Gimpy!

[@thegimpygamer]

Yea buddy! Mrs Gimpy just did a unboxing for Cataclysm as well. Just have to edit it.

[@krellee1]

Another great vid Gimpy so much so I opened my copy to start a campaign. Do you have B17 Leader if so will you be doing a vid of that?

[@thegimpygamer]

krellee1 No I'm sorry I don't have that one

[@stevew9916]

At Ease, Gimpy. No Marines on subs.

[@farpointgamingdirect]

The Marine Corps has a long history of employing submarines to support amphibious operations. Marines of 2d Raider Battalion, under Evans Carlson, embarked aboard the USS Argonaut in August 1942 to raid the Japanese-held island of Makin. The largest pre-nuclear age submarine built by the United States was able to billet over 100 marines due to conversions carried out at the Mare Island shipyard in the spring of 1942. The Argonaut avoided Japanese A2/AD capabilities in the form of the world’s most combat ready and proficient navy, and successfully delivered the marines deep into Japanese controlled waters without detection. The Navy and Marines continued this tradition until 9/11, but got out of the practice due to several consecutive land-locked wars. They are looking into a large scale return to this capability after successful "Bold Alligator" training exercises. Submarines can execute ship-to-objective maneuver (STOM), ship-to-shore movement (STSM), and over-the-horizon (OTH) operations, and be employed as critical platforms to enable success in an A2/AD (Anti-Access/ Area Denial) environment.

Yep. Gay-toe.

[@tookiem7618]

In no way do the numbers of U.S. subs compare to the number of U-Boats that saw action. 🙄
