The Hunters

Silent Victory is pretty awesome. I have Silent War also but have yet to crack it to play.

Raiders of the Deep from Compass looks all kinds of awesome, though.

I keep thinking I want to get The Hunters, but with Silent Victory on my shelf...I think it's just a matter of taste. SV is supposed to be more polished than The Hunters, but The Hunters has a lot of appeal. So too does Compass Games' Raiders Of The Deep, which I really would like to try out.

I have both.

There isn't much difference between them other than the setting.  From my few playthroughs of each, I think Silent Victory is a bit more challenging as a whole.

If I only had SV, and knew how very similar they are, I'd use the money I was thinking of spending on The Hunters towards a different game system.  Once you've played one, you've pretty much played the whole series.

I've got Raiders of the Deep coming. Couldn't resist. :(

At least it's set during a different war.  O0

It's at a better price point than The Hunters, which I've seen from $100 on up. I would love to have it but man, it's too close to the source material. I admit too that playing as an Axis (err, Central Powers) entity would be interesting, so this will scratch that sorta itch I think.

$100 for The Hunters!?!  :o Maybe I need to sell my copy and get a copy of the 3rd printing that's coming out....

I was just thinking the same thing...

It's showing as unavailable now on Amazon...

...but I've seen it for upwards of $120 or so there.

That could just be third-party gougers though. Not sure if the wargamer market would bear that.

You could always try over in the Wargamer's Market group on Facebook. I rue the day I joined that group. So many awesome games get posted there every day. I made a few quick sales myself with some older titles I bought way back in the day.

No kidding. 

Hell, I'm fine with just having Silent Victory.
