We play NotJay's Postcards from the Front Entry, Running Silent. A fast paced dice game with cold war subs! We also got to see the latest changes Erich made to Invisible -Unsichtbar. *** NOTE *** We played the countermeasures incorrectly. Each dice was not an automatic countermeasure. We needed to roll each countermeasure dice 4+ to have a successful countermeasure.
