Nice painted mini's, matt and gaming room! I wonder about some rules though; but the rules are dense. I believe the draugr overlord needed to take an endurance test due to being an adversary champion when taken down by Galmar, that the draugr that activated by Harkin actually had to target the weaker vampire due to it being closer distance than to harkin(not sure about priority on the draugr card), that the dawnguard wear heavy armor and thus can only sprint 7. Also thought there was a penalty on the puzzle when you roll a critical miss, but again not sure. And the draugr got a free attack when isron fled, but he also had to activate after that attack, possibly charging isron again. Also Im prettu sure the harkin did not have to choose between the bleed and punishing unless it had the same symbol. Still a good battle, makes me want to bring this game to the table tonight. Would be fun to see all the dice rolls though. Amazing to see the stormcloak actually tied with the dawnguard, while that dawnguard isron was so powerful!

Hey! Thanks for watching! Also, love all these rules checks. I don’t believe adversary masters take endurance tests when downed since they aren’t considered party champions. Just masters, but I’m going to double check! Also the draugr was equal distance to both since it was engaged with both so it just goes after the model with more wounds based off the draugr response matrix card. I don’t know about puzzles and crit misses! That’s true when checking treasure chests, but I want to check up on puzzles. Also never picked up that the dawnguard don’t sprint 9! That’s great to remember. And you can only ever choose one symbol during an attack. Even if you have different symbols. Again, I love that you checked all these rules! Super helpful to help me remember. Also, the ability to customize the heroes this much makes the game so fascinating. Like Tyler poured so many points in to Isran that it made him virtually invincible, but it gave him less board control with less models on the map. Really fun trade off. So stormcloaks can really play with numbers since they are generally cheaper than other factions.

Also, the goal is to have cameras for all dice rolls in the future…I agree it would be fun to see all of them. Especially with these fun custom dice…

@gcygnet8817 3 ай бұрын

I actually didnt know about the symbols so thats great to know. I've checked; a critical miss on a puzzle is resolve a trap card. From my understanding the dawnguard had heavy armor, so the bonus to defense is countered by a bad movement. Apparently the dawnguard have both light and heavy armored units now i checked the cards, so not sure if the dawnguard soldiers were either light or heavy. Thanks for the reply and clarification, that makes me also learn the rules. Again, looking forward to your next play!

Love the content! Maybe something that could maybe help with videos like thos for both watchers and imo the PLAYERS on a live stream like this would be some sort of colored rings (a color per faction) around the bases of the minis, this would make it easier for people to see who is who on the board when playing and also when watching (top down view being popular) these rings could have numbers behind them so that the players can know which model is theirs at a glance also. These rings with or without the numbers could fairly easily be made in a 3D programor CAD and printed out. A much less intrusive option would maybe tacking a colored piece of construction paper to the bottom of the bases cut out into circles shapes. This would mean base to base contact would be maintained and you could try different thicknesses of the "ring" (not a ring it's a circle but the base is in the middle) Idk just something imo to think about! Keep it up, love your guys stuff!

@Betterthanskooma 3 ай бұрын

Hey this is a really good idea! I’m definitely going to test this out. Yeah figuring out board readability is tough in these live sessions. Definitely a ways to go to get these streams where I want them. Audio is also the next big thing I’m working on improving. But thanks for the suggestion! And thanks for watching.

Thank you so much for this video. I recently just bought Call To Arms Core Rule box and the miniatures upgrade set. Do I need to get chapter 1 cards and the appropriate mini box for it to start chapter 1? Or if I have the miniature upgrade set box and the core box, is that enough to get started and learn the game?

@Betterthanskooma 9 ай бұрын

The core rule box and some minis are enough to start! But I would recommend picking up chapter one cards if you are interested. It comes with lots of items and the stat cards for more minis so you can choose what you want to get next.

Quick correction! You don’t need to remove the hidden token when performing a sneak ranged attack. If the ranged sneak attack hits, you take a sneak test to see if you can keep your token, but only if you hit. No need to test if you miss.

Super useful tutorial, thanks for clarifying, you're top class at this. I'm imagining that since you can't boost and keep your sneak token, you can't boost a melee sneak attack to get two yellow dice?

You actually can! The token can be removed and then you get to boost the attack.

Hi, detecting a model needs an intelligence attribute test, but is that an action? If not how many times can we try attribute tests in out turn?

@Betterthanskooma Жыл бұрын

Hey! It is not an action, so you will target a model like normal and if it is hidden you have to pass an intelligence test to attack it, but if you fail you can just choose someone else for that action. And you can do this as many times as you want for each hidden model around you, but only once per model. Does that make sense?

@hasandurukan440 Жыл бұрын

@@Betterthanskooma so we can use attribute test only one time for each hidden model on our turn. Understand sir! Thank you :) Will you make a video about curating the cards before the game begins? It would be helpful for players who try to start call to arms. I dont understand curating quest cards, and i think i may have misunderstand curating the event cards also :)

@Betterthanskooma Жыл бұрын

Well each of your models can choose to detect an enemy when they are targeting that enemy model as an action like performing a ranged attack or trying to engage them. So you could have multiple models try to detect the same enemy in a round. Hope that makes sense! Also, in my how to play video there is a section on curating the deck! So check that out!
