1565: Siege of Malta (Worthington) - AAR + Overview of Gameplay

Watch “1565: Siege of Malta (Worthington) - AAR + Overview of Gameplay,” a gameplay video for 1565: Siege of Malta from KilroyWasHere on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by KilroyWasHere on YouTube:

Here is an after action report (AAR) and "brief" overview of gameplay of 1565: Siege of Malta from Worthington Publishing’s Great Sieges series. Sorry for the longish report; but most of it provides an overview of gameplay and my initial thoughts on the game (and system). **Spoiler Alert** I like it. 1565: Siege of Malta Unboxing - https://youtu.be/6Pcn6BSoYh4 P.S. Would you believe this is the second attempt? My first take was shorter: but I thought it was too long and missed some points. This attempt "was to be" more succinct . . . boy, was I wrong; but still feel this one best covers what I wanted to say. At some point, I need to move away from my Hitchcock “one-take” approach (i.e., The Rope) and learn me some editing skills/technology. But I digress and unjustly divert attention away from the very solid solo experience found in 1565: Siege of Malta.

About 1565: Siege of Malta, from BoardGameGeek:

1565: Siege of Malta is a Tactical level board-wargame, the third in Worthington Publishings Great Sieges Wargame Series. These games are designed for easy setup, quick game play, and can be finished in under an hour. Game marker placement is shown on the game board. Command orders and cards are used to shorten the rules. Developed for solitaire play, this game requires you to make great decisions based on good strategy, keeping your wits about you when orders do not turn out well, and pressing on to victory. Game play is centered around using Field Commands to issue orders by the Turks or Knights of Malta commanders to defeat each other. Either side can be defeated by their morale falling too low. The game allows you to play either side against a solitaire opponent that has 3 levels of difficulty. Pick the side you want to be, Turks or Knights of Malta, and then shuffle the solitaire card deck for your opponent. The card mix used by the solitaire opponent differs from game to game so no two games play alike. Each commander (solitaire or player) can issue one order per game turn from their Commands available. Your order is carried out based on your strategy and current situation faced. Your choice can cause multiple actions and reactions with results that cause troop eliminations, morale reductions, and events to occur. HOW TO WIN THE GAME Any time one side's morale reaches zero during a turn, the other side wins the game. -description from publisher
