The Far Seas (Vuca Simulations) | Solo Gameplay Part 2

In this second part of the solo gameplay series for The Far Seas by Vuca Simulations, Joe continues the naval action through the first turn's remaining Operations Befehls (OB). Watch as the German raiders, including the Emden and Königsberg, attempt to evade Allied patrols and strike at vital trade stations. Joe also provides a tactical walkthrough of the search and combat mechanics, concluding with a look at how the advanced Convoy rules can dramatically shift the victory point balance.
