Ladies & Gentlemen

My name is Marco, 45 years old and living in Kiel/Germany. After a long time & search, I have now sailed straight into the SOG harbour. I really like reading (Bolitho), play historical PC strategy games since the 80s (MatrixGames/HPS & Co.) but now I want to play it non virtual. I searched the web for naval boardgames, looked at many but I think SoG is what I really want, so I just bought the SoG starter kit and some more single ships. In the next days all the ordered stuff will reach my hands and I hope my wife doesn't get any notice of that. :)

I am already very excited to see what awaits me. I hope, of course, to find interested people here in my region.

Is there anything I have to pay attention to as a beginner?

Do I need other game elements or do you guys have buy recommendations for me?

Best wishes & keep healthy,
Mo
