Quotes (from this video)
- Statecraft from Doit Games. Link is down below if you want to go check out the Kickstarter.
- The Kaiser's High Seas Fleet, The Great War at Sea, 1914 to 1918 by Compass Games.
- So, it's really taking War at Sea, reimagining it, modernizing it, and then bringing it to World War I. So, fascinating, clever design idea from Compass Games.
- Congratulations to our winner there. We're not done quite with giveaways yet because we're going to give away a $50 store gift certificate from the Noble Knight sponsorship.
- So, I'm curious how many of you out there that play board war games and watch these videos uh do miniatures combat as well.

Quotes (from this video)
- This reminds me of Coin Light. And the game that comes to my mind is Root. And not that this is the same thing or a spin-off, but it's got a Root type feel.
- I've read through the rules looks very accessible and pretty easy to jump into.
- Production values on this one are really high.
- I really appreciate I think Fal has a nice touch on accessibility, depth of gameplay, quality of components, just really putting things together in a nice package that builds some very interesting things with good gameplay and a lot of accessibility.
- 42% tactical, 30% operational, 29% strategic.
- My favorite game of all time is Combat Commander, which is a tactical level game.
- I'm split between the different scales. Given the time I'd play them all, I love the idea of grand tactical, but don't have the space they generally acquire.
- Wow, it's taking a while here. Oh, we've got Arvin Runstein5707.
- New to these games. So, still learning, but strategic seems like my jam.

Quotes (from this video)
- I don't know that I'll ever play the game again without this expansion. It's essential.
- I love Wingspan and Fins Span. I think they're both great games. But, to me, they don't hold a candle to Wormspan. I just love Wormspan so much.
- This is a game that or an expansion, rather, to last time I checked, my second favorite game of all time.
- I'm not necessarily rating it on how I like the base game overall. I'm rating these things on how much I like the expansions and how much they bring to the base game. That's my criteria.
- It is so much fun and it is it's scary, too.
- This expansion was so amazing because it doesn't just give you kind of one new way to play the game. It gives you three new game modules.
- It's just so so tense.
