    Default Hey all.

    After many months of adding SoG to my cart and then removing it before checking out I finally took the plunge.

    Snagged the starter set and

    Hms Queen Charlotte
    Hms Sybille
    Hms Swan

    Imperial
    Carmagnole
    Alligator

    Argonauta
    Sirena

    USS Constitution
    USS Thorn

    Then I grabbed the game mat, extra counters, extra ship mats, coasts and shoals, coastal batteries, and some generic black bags for the counters.

    Not really sure where to go next as far as ships I should get.

    As for other games I usually play, xwing, Armada, Imperial assaul, War at Sea, and a random smattering of board games tends to make up the bulk of our gaming time.

    Looking forward to getting to know you all.

    Welcome aboard, J.

    If you have any desire, we started two solo campaigns this month: nation vs. nation, and privateer. You can create crews for either or both. If you would like to know more, let us know. We have solo rules that you might find beneficial if you ever need a ready opponent. Here's a good place to start: http://sailsofglory.org/forumdisplay...-Solo-Campaign

    Welcome J,

    As a new player myself one important factor is to make sure you have someone to play SoG with. If not I would get a copy of the solo play systems.

    One ship for your consideration is HMS Victory.

    Welcome J.

    Ship-wise I would suggest you play some games and see what size of ships you like.
