I played JD Webster's Fighting Wings series before I learned Birds of Prey, and was surprised that I find BoP more intuitive and fun, given its reputation for complexity. Its worth trying if you get the chance.
I've played Fighting Wings a lot in the past, and bought this game when it first came out. Got to admit I struggled! However, I went to the BritBoP "convention " in early June 2024, and as a result of getting some face to face play it all just came together. Now we were playtesting a new style nomograph which I think made things easier, but I was getting moves plotted and executed at least as fast (if not faster) than I did with Fighting Wings. I really enjoyed it.
@@heneagedundas I was hoping to make it to BritBoP but sadly was unable to attend. Glad you got some good play in! I have the nomographs, but yet to properly learn how to use them.
Always interesting seeing this one in action. Looking forward to more.
Thanks!
Thank you, nice to see you play this again.
I have considered buying this game in the past, but I think the Speed of Heat has the level of complexity I am happy with. This may be a step too far.
