Watch “GMT's The Hunters - First Patrol - Sinking a Cruiser,” a gameplay video for The Hunters: German U-Boats at War, 1939-43 from Dren608 on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Dren608 on YouTube:

The Hunters - German U-Boats at War, 1939-43 a Gregory M. Smith Design Published by GMT Games, LLC Vassal module 3.0a This will be a series of 1 or 2 patrols per video. I am using the Vassal Module to play but am recording as I play instead of stepping through the Logs commenting on Actions, Decision, and mind set. Hopefully I don't "mess up" the rules, I have been checking the Rule books as I play and thus it takes me a bit to make a video, as I keep trying to get the rules right. If you see Rules errors in my video please comment right away with issue. They will probably come out 1-2 per week depending on time I have available to record. 0:00 Introduction, Set-up (miss I am supposed to be Rank 2) 5:30 I don't realize I have many more torpedo load out available on this first patrol! 7:57 British Isles - The Patrol Log feels a bit clunky to record things 11:08 Capital Ship - CA Belfast (not understanding the Module mechanics but get it in the end) 29:42 I mess up a 5 on finding me is undetected! I reversed the results! 33:14 Random event 35:05 Large Freighter - didn't realize it was randomized in the stacks! 40:45 I could have shot in Sequence didn't have to commit all before firing one - misread rule 44:38 Doing Refit - sorta I find out time wise I mess up (long patrol and Extra Month for damage) 50:01 Review Patrol and Game in general, Find out some of my mistakes Please like, comment and subscribe to support more content from my channel.

About The Hunters: German U-Boats at War, 1939-43, from BoardGameGeek:

"Hostilities with England effective immediately." the time is: 1256 hours, 3 September 1939 The Hunters is a solitaire tactical level game placing you in command of a German U-boat during WWII. Your mission is to destroy as much Allied Shipping and as many Capital ships as possible while advancing your crew quality and increasing your commander rank culminating in special decoration ‒ all while remembering you have to make it home. The Hunters is purposely designed to deliver a brisk yet intensive gaming experience that forces many decisions upon you as you will take command among the major German U-boat models in service during WWII, and try to complete an entire tour. Those familiar with the classic Avalon Hill game title, B-17: Queen of the Skies, will come to enjoy the same type of gaming experience of the German U-boat War. All major U-boat models are accounted for with every level of detail including period of service, armaments, crew make-up, damage capacity, and more. Winner: 1 Player Guild Gaming Awards - Best Solitaire Game of 2013
