@oriskany, I think I’d describe “deep end” as an understatement, and I’m still playing the starter kits. I have got the first module and full rules, but man! that manual is daunting. My only consolation is that my opponent/teacher is ranked 8th in the UK and played ASL since release, so makes it a little easier. Sadly he’s moved away now so games aren’t easy to come by and there are no other local players or any willing to try.

Hence why I’ve backed Storming the Gap, it looks so much easier to learn and will have a solo system included (if it reaches the stretch goal), and the wife is willing try. Will be printing the starter kit for it this weekend, so hopefully I’ll get to test it. The wife took delivery of U-Boot today so I’m sure I’ll probably be prowling the north Atlantic instead though.

Preach/Rant away all you like, as you have real life experience I’m sure many would agree that your opinion carries some weight that shouldn’t be casually dismissed. It always helps to get a more educated perspective after all.
