My demonstration of Spruance Leader's game play is continued and concluded in Part 2. Finally, an opinion of the games strengths and weakness is given.
Thanks for your play through. I enjoy Spurance, even with its faults, like ordinance being returned to naval stores. The 1 stress for RAS is good, if you have been on watch then dragged out of your pit to resupply ship does effect your stress lvl. Yes, Dean did a good job sorting RB. & scenarios. Rec U try the sub exp. next.
Thanks Crasher. I’ll have to give the sub expansion a go. I’m also wondering what the next expansion regarding campaign play is going to do, and when it will come out. - Paul
Just to let you know. Dean and I are redoing the version 2 book to clarify some things, one of which will be that a Tomahawk or Harpoon in search mode, I it’s sees detects the enemy, there are no attack or defense modifiers for the missile. Therefore, you needed six for a single hit and nines for two hits.
Hi Tom. Man, that bearing launch tomahawk strike really saved my bacon in the play demo. I was lucky, in that all four Soviet ships lined up for the shot, and the die gods gave me a good smoochy kiss with the attack die rolls. I’ll keep a look out for a v2 update; hopefully there will be a reprint and DVG makes the new rules and scenarios cards available in a separate update pack. Thanks for your comment…, great game! - Paul
Crikey! HOW did you get your dice to roll like that for your Tomahawk spread? My dice normally demonstrate the exact reason why 'missiles' are called that, rather than 'hittiles'.
Yup, the dice definitely gave me a big smoochy kiss. Also consider how lucky it was to have all the ships line up like pins in a bowling alley. Makes up for the times when I can’t get a break! - P

For the four Tomahawk strike, should the Range modifier apply?
