Warlord Games has been talking about what’s awesome about their Cruel Seas game which sees you hitting the water in World War II.
Comment To Win – Cruel Seas Starter Set
Come and delve in and find out what’s been happening with the game and consider exploring this for yourself.
Seen some of these on YouTube. Looks pretty good and easy to learn. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
need more tiny boats
Really been falling in love with nautical battle games lately. This looks really cool.
So many games from just Warlord themselves,my shiny syndrome mind doesn’t know where to go first.My wallet would hate me,but all of them are on the cards.
Watching this as I assemble and paint up a couple of Fairline MTBs. It’s a great game, very cinematic!
To be honest, when Warlord first announced this game I was a bit sceptical – torpedo boats? Naah, no way that can be interesting when you’ve got the famous battleship engagements. Now I’ve had some time to read into it however its growing on me by the day, especially with the Japanese stuff coming out (Pacific theatre sounds awesome, boats lurking about the mangroves! Special rules for crocodiles perhaps? If your boats sink you have to race in and save the survivors from the jaws of death) I’m properly sold on that starter set though now that I’ve seen it – come on BOW! Save a dude £50 by letting me win hahaha
I’m actually interested in this one. I’ve never played a naval game but I might just pick this one up.
Boaty Mcboatface can finally get torpedo tubes.
This might get me interested in naval warfare.
Looks like fun, would be great getting some big battleships and slogging it out. Now for their alien invasion expansion to recreate a rather daft but fun movie….
Looks good. I like the scale of this game think it makes it more personal
I’ve been playing a lot of world of warships recently so this idea really interests me.
Warlord is growing so fast and with so many great miniature games!
very tempted by this one
I think my Bolt Action group would love playing Cruel Seas
Cruel seas looks amazing ! I have some ships that they put into war games miniature magazine. But the black seas, that will truly get my money. That just sounds amazing ! Can’t wait.
Seeing as just how good blood red skies is this is definately one that may well be got in short order.
“splosh” and “bloom”.
Anyone have a preferred naval game? I’ve really been more fantasy guy but haven’t seen much in the ships range.
A niche topic.
But an awesome niche topic!
nice
Great to see this doing well, had a demo of it at my local store and it was a lot of fun.
This is about as close to historical as I’ll get. Good on you for making it fun
Release the Kraken…
My mate Dans just bought this, so playing next week
So a fleet of barges needed. I must wait for the Napoleon cruse to Elba, But wellington of the boot was an naval officer too.
ON the beautiful briney sea
sailing boats for me
to feed the the kraken on my
nice prize
Ww2 naval is cool but the forthcoming age of sail version… Hell yes!
Never really played sea battle games but would like to try.
Looks epic
Land, air and now sea covered. Ripe for some organised multi-table play.
this is so tempting as a navy man, ive been printing sinking ships and merchants for friends but havent had a game
Warlord keep knocking it out of the park with their games need a bigger bank balance
I want a naval game only to have an excuse to buy one of those gorgeous sea mats!!! XDDDD
Vary tempted by BRS but was already weighed down with purchases.
Black Seas! Looking forward to it.
Seems like a great game. Fits in nicely with bolt action for a patrol before d day landings.
Splosh!!!!!! ??? Bloooooommmm!!!!! ???. Me Me Me Me!!! Pick me Pick meeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!! Man. This game sounds rad!! Hook a brutha up with a starter box. Cheers from The Bay Area.
seas can be very cruel
Those plastics look stunning.
There can never be enough WW2 games, looks interesting.
my interest is piqued for black seas
looks like a fast easy game to play
Last year Warlord didn’t have much historical with them. This year loads. Very pleased.
After getting a couple of boats with the last issue of miniature wargames magazine this has really caught my eye
Its in the list of things i’d like to try but gotta admit, each time i see it… it creeps up the list!
games about boats always welcomed
Wow, this looks Good!
I’ve not owned a miniature game of warships but I could jump for this one, Black Seas Sounds Awesome too!!
Cruel seas could be interesting. I’m not 100% sure its the game for me but it would be great to try
looking forward to SPARE coming out
Tiny boats are the future.
Really thinking about getting this game.
Warlord always do great startersets. This looks like another great one.
I mean who doesn’t love boats?
Some of my friends are enjoying this game a lot. It seems a good little game.
I bought the starter set just a few weeks ago and I can honestly say it keeps all the promises. Tokens in abundance, 10 plastic ships, rule book and a huge paper mat and more. Great.
The metal kits i bought afterwards however are a bit tricky to assemble, because the parts are quite tiny. You got to be patient to get it right and the super-glue to work.
If I should happen to win this set, I donate it to OTT/BoW to give it away to some preferably young gamer/gameress with a very low hobby-budget.
Really enjoying this coverage, It’s making me want to make the effort to go to UKGE2020 (similar to what happened to me after your old coverage of Salute). All the traders and conference-goers you are speaking to look like they are having a great time.
Like the models!
that is a fun game
I do enjoy a bit of Hollywood gaming.
My game store just got some of this in, might have to try a game.
I’ve tried a sea based game but this sounds like it could be a lot of fun.
I hate to break it to you, but even since Archer came along “Sploosh” has come to mean something very different.
Cruel seas is a fantastic looking game, warlord are by far my favourite miniatures company with all the games they have out at the moment. Keep it up guys!
Some of my regular group have picked it up. Looks nice, but not all in on the setting to be honest.
I have the free models from Wargames Illustrated and this is definitely on my wish list.
the look fantastic.
Never thought I would be interested in naval wargaming.
splosh
Filling that Man’o’War void…
Yoho yoho I cant wait for black seas
Splosh bloom ,need to practice some more and also looking forward for the pirates and historical sail ships.
Cool theme for a game, would love to win a set
I’m glad this game seems to be doing well!
I love blood red skies and bolt action, this looks awesome as well.
This looks so cool
Saw this looked pretty good.
I don’t mind a quasi-historical ww2 game and the Black Seas sounds pretty interesting as well.
Can’t wait for Black Seas to come out, these guys have some amazing games on the way.
I would like to see Cruel Seas on table – interesting.
Very nice looking ship models!
Looks like a great game!
Here is opportunity to dive in to this game :).
Tiny boats look to cute to be dangerous!
look fun and accessible.
Love ship battle games
The idea behind those pontoons with 88’s on them is both pure evil and genius at the same time!
You can tell that Warlord is passionate about their games, they are always working on new games. At what point does a company neglect their other games. Personally, I’d love to hear an XLBS discussion about that. I’ve loved just about everything Warlord has done, but can they struggle under the weight of their own success?
Cruel seas is such a blast to play. So easy to pick up and plays really well. Can’t wait to see what other ships come out!
One more name I would love to try.
I’ve really been enjoying Cruel Seas. I hope to keep expanding my fleets.
Played a few naval games back in the 90s but they were always so complicated, with loads of bookkeeping. I like the fact that this has just stripped it back to a fairly simple, and more importantly fun, game.
So many historical war games look really interesting, there are so many popping up that I’d love to try. The usual problem applies of there not being time to keep up with everything.
(Here I am two days after the Expo, still watching On Tabletop’s videos to catch up on everything I missed at the show! 🙂 )
The game sounds great.
Bath time game – great!
I love how Warlord makes fun games. Keep ’em coming!
very interesting to see World War 2 naval warfare – I have play ground combat based games and air based combat games – so why not Naval!!
I need that 88!
This is a good looking game
i have a sea mat just nothing to play on it.this may do the trick
I already have some of their italians, really love this for some fast naval warfare
Great game, really nice models
Didn’t see their stand this year. Dang. Would have loved a go at this.
I feel sea sick
OK, Black Seas has piqued my interest…
Ghost ships and Kraken sound great
seas
How the heck did i miss this!!!
I level the fact that Cruel Seas looks at something different. Pretty rare to explore such an area in war gaming today.
just started playing cruel seas and i like it
