I just bought a single player table top game "U-Boat Leader" that I'm going to review when I get my office cleaned up.

That game looks awesome Nikimcbee!

Let me know how it is when you do play it, please.

I got SILENT WAR, the Pacific predecessor of STEEL WOLVES.

I would have to give it a mixed review. It has it's good points, but falls short in some ways.

I was wondering about GATO LEADER. Does anyone know much about that one?

I just pre-ordered "The Hunters: German U-Boats at War, 1939-43"

Seems like a really cool game after reading through the demo AARs.

You can get it online here from the US. They ship internationally. http://yhst-12000246778232.stores.ya...12000246778232

Bumping the topic, as this is a really good board game. Recently the owners of the game published all necessary materials to make the game yourself:

http://www.consimpress.com/downloads/the-hunters/

Eventually you still will want to buy one as the quality will be superior, but it's good to use it as a demo. They also published ZunTzu and Vassal modules for the game, if you want to try it without printing.

This board game actually help me to understand the basic U-boat tactics and made me install SH3

For those who have U boat Leader, I can highly recommend this (free) expansion: http://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/79...ical-expansion

It adds much more depth to the game....in fact it is actually U Boat Leader 2.0
