NDNG BattleVault Episode 21 – US Bugle Review

By Mitch Reed

Recently I was invited to play Angola a great four player game from Multi-Man Publishing. The covers the conflict in Angola from July 1975 until the following April and features the four main factions that were involved in the conflict. I have always been interested in picking up with game due to the topic but after playing it I really came to see what a great game Angola is.

Now that conventions are making an appearance again it is time for those who were interested in to start collecting their ships and getting them to a nearby table. Over the last few months gaming admirals have been playing either online or when they get a chance versus a live opponent and many fans of the game have been tinkering with their lists and adjusting how they plan to play the game in the future. Since so few of us have had very much experience in live play, now is a perfect time for those who have yet played the game to get into it.

The Tails-men are back and are joined by Guy Rhueark and they go over all things Blood & Plunder and Oak & Iron. They also talk about the global campaign which ends soon. Come join us on our all things podcast.

One of most interesting box sets for Oak & Iron is the Blackbeard’s Revenge pack which features some unique historical ships for your collection. The box comes with two ships, the frigate Queen Anne’s Revenge and the sloop Revenge which were the ships of Blackbeard and Stede Bonnet respectively. Both of these ships are a must for a player who wants to play the pirate faction in the game since they are only available for that faction.

The gaming community is full of games that re-fight the American Civil War and new games are hitting the market all the time, American Civil War is just the latest game to enter the fray and I think it is worth a look for many reasons. Based out of Holland, Peter Van Dop, the man behind BelloLudi’s games has a fresh outlook on what gaming can do and how to grow the hobby which is meshed into the DNA of his games.
