Had the game over 24 hours and you're just now doing a preview? You're slipping.😂🤣😂🤣
I've got it preordered at my FLGS. Looking forward to getting ahold of it.
Hope it's more clarifications than errata! Disappointing that a map patch is required – if it's something relatively minor I think I will leave it off. The unit count seems relatively low which is interesting. Looking forward to the videos!
Looking forward to getting this game thanks for video 😊
I am impatiently awaiting my pre-order to arrive. I am looking forward to playing this solitaire.
Hey Moe…any idea how this compares to the Next War series?
Moe just wanted to say fantastic review as always! Just got mine in yesterday and got all of the @1,400 counters corners clipped and first scenario set up. We have all been waiting years for this to come out. Makes my old 86 version look like a beginner game in comparison. With all the enhancements gamers are in for a treat.
thanks for the vid. 4 pages of errata out of the box, huh? They should put that at the bottom of the box, haha! why am I not excited? There's gonna be more after release… not ideal, Moe. Maps are nice! I like the hidden movement for solitaire idea. Charts and tables booklet is very nice indeed. I hate shuffling through a zillion cards. Love the unit counters, admin are okay. Huge rule book, yow! Still, that explains the errata amount. Good job, I'll continue to keep and eye and bookmark it at my shop. cheers and thanks again!
I can understand people getting excited over this type of game. Not for me though, too much details for the type of game I like playing. Thank you for the preview.
Moe, Great over view of the game. Got my copy and the components are all high quality. I’m not least bit worried that the main rule book is 146 pages. In going through this, the fonts are large (which I very much appreciate) and its got full colored examples of play and allot of support info making it comprehensive. The concepts are nicely explained. Since briefly reading through, any questions I may have had thus far, I looked through the glossary and got them answered. As you said in the Vid, this is a deep game and being relatively new to this genre I really appreciate the comprehensiveness of the rules. I’ve experienced very complicated rules set Ex: ASL and honestly, this is nothing compared to that. To me what will really solidify the game play will be just playing through the first introductory scenario and the concepts will land home.
Did you see the rather unfair review of this game from Big Board Gaming? Without even really reading ANY of the rules he dissed the game pretty heavily due to the size of the rulebook. Did you play the original? Was this assessment fair? For example, I am hearing the word count is lower in the new game and may explain the higher page count.
Is Bruce planning on porting this system to the current era or will the 1980s be as "modern" as he will get?
This system is heading to WW2? Great! It really looks fantastic although, yeah, some trepidation about the complexity. I fear it would be a "buy, admire and shelve" game but very much looking forward to your playthroughs. Subbed. A really useful unboxing/preview vid, thank you. BTW I've just been to the Compass website and this is listed as Complexity: Medium. Seriously?!
Any progress on the playthrough vids Moe? 😁
Hi any update when you’ll be doing play examples?
