So, I figured that the next best game to talk to you all about would be Spartan Games Uncharted Seas. This was their very first game released in 2008. A game of fantasy naval combat, much like the old Games-Workshop product Man-O-War. It is a game that introduced the Spartan Games rules that can be found in all of their main products: exploding dice, range bands, and MARs. However, while this game is just as good as the other two naval based games that Spartan Games created - Firestorm Armada and Dystopian Wars - it is in the same genre as those two games, which divides the target audience up greatly. This has resulted in the recent move of Uncharted Seas to direct order only. Stores will no longer be carrying Uncharted Seas products in stock.
However, the silver lining is that the company is probably in the process of creating a new rulebook, as they have stated that "with the release of spartan scenics, we have also begun beta testing Uncharted Seas"..... But enough talk! You want to see models!
The great thing about Uncharted Seas is that it is getting much cheaper to get into. He starter kits are much cheaper then their other games, and the rules are completely free online. $50 for the ,out expensive starter fleets on eBay, $25-$30 for cheaper boxes, or a "combat pack" with 2 fleets for between $60-80. All in all pretty reasonable if you ask me. So, heave too you salty dogs, and hoist the colors! It's battles on the high seas with another great game from Spartan Games!!
