Title: [MBS YouTube] Getting Started in Naval Gaming
Post by: Ruckdog on November 10, 2023, 09:27:36 am
Hi all! I just posted a video on the MBS YT channel about getting started in naval gaming. It took me a while to get it all done thanks to having tons of competing priorities, but I'm happy with how it came out. Interested to know what you think!

Good job on detailing all of the considerations before diving into naval games!

If there is a follow-up video, what about case studies in individual played games that you experienced or saw, specifically on your key cost decisions?  i.e. We began playing X after discussing X, Y, and Z... A vetoed Y due to the lack of "blank" and B preferred X over Z despite their being tied on "blank" but with X having greater support of "blank"?

That was a good intro.  Looking forward to follow up videos.

Interesting idea! I'll add that to my list of video ideas to consider. I don't know if I've really ever had that specific scenario happen to me personally. In general, I've either been in the position of being the advocate for a game that no one else was playing at the time, or else joining in with a group that was already playing a given game!

Talking through an example of how I came to play or collect a given game would be a fun discussion, though.
