I discourage NO ONE from playing online EVER!
It is BEST!
Especially during pandemic evil.
That said, I have learned through hard experience that some games just work better for our live stuff than others. The ancient S.P.I.'s (well, most of them), "Blucher", "C&C" in all its iterations, "Sharpe Practice", "Rebels and Patriots", "The Men Who Would Be Kings", and "Altar of Freedom" have done well due to their relative simplicity and straight-forward nature.
Complexity -- "Black Powder" manages to be far more complicated than it has any right to be -- rosters and a few other things just don't work as well. The best ship-to-ship game of all time is "Close Action", but, as a big event on TTS where rules are taught? Heavens, no.
That said, "Flying Colors", 3e is sitting at home waiting for me. And, yes, Brant, I will do an unboxing.
