Spruance Leader - Base Game Playthrough Part 3
27The third part of a playthrough of the 'North Atlantic Skirmishes' campaign in "Spruance Leader" from Dan Verssen Games.
Following a disappointing result against a Soviet wolfpack of four submarines in our first mission, we draw our second target - and this one will involve navigating possible enemy task force encounters to reach.
Spruance Leader is the first foray for this venerable series into the naval realm and serves up some interesting "Cold War gone hot" gameplay. It has all the hallmarks of the Leader series with some special twists for its nautical theme.
NOTE: I mention at the end that there will be further entries in the base game playthrough but I have decided to move to the expansions which add a lot and will do a full campaign playthrough with expansions 2 & 3. Expansion 1: Submarines will get its own separate treatment.
