Thanks for the great show.

Thank you for the videos. It has helped me learn IAF Leader!

Great show today. I am just a little sad that, as a Canadian, I was not in any of the "shipping areas." Not your fault ... I am sure that I am not the only one in this situation.

Its the best wargaming show on youtube. talking wargames, talking history, books and best selling games. talking gamedesigners and upcoming games. talking all the different games that are out there. And the chat is awesome! thanks guys!

Great show again, thanks for all the effort, love what you bring to the hobby

Great video!

I don't like how units can be "in" a hedge. This makes no sense whatsoever. This is supposed to be WWII combat, not Watership Down.

35 years ago… That’s history. Thanks for this review ❤

Can’t chat or comment on jester’s channel, so will do so here…. One might consider signing up to help with remote multi-player play testing. Get to experience other players in a “relationship” predefined as temporary. If you feel compatible, might pursue other plays of other games outside of play testing - but if you aren’t interested, could simply allow the “relationship” to naturally end at the end of the play test’s play through. Low risk but solid attempt at reaching outside one’s bubble - while helping development of a game design.

Thanks for the preview. I'm still waiting for my copy of this game. And yes, the vhs boxes are standard for this series.

Thank you for sharing Rough. Good stuff!

I bet you the printer of that game had an excess amount of VHS tape boxes and wanted to use them. I think Mantic games does that as well or did that in the past. Nice little cassette opening Rough!

The Sherman Tank Card has a misprint on one page

Good morning from San Diego. Thankfully no fires here. yet.

Interesting game. And will You play this game on the channel?

Oh my, Nate, you've costed me £23 for the new book. Another one to be added to my collection, not that many games on the early Byzantine army...

Thanks for the show and the discussion gents, really looking forward to participate in the show this Saturday😁 Regarding how do I meet people to play with, that's a difficult subject for an introvert 😁I have 2 gaming evenings most weeks, one formed from my lifelong friends (we play a mix of euros/ameritrash games) and one wargaming. I got to know my wargaming buddy via BGG - we got to know each other by trading some games, then figured we may give it a try and it stuck since. Suppose it's persistence, I'm not that easy to get rid of🤣

Great show again.

What do you think is a good entry point for an Normandy Game (Solo) ?

Thanks for the video! : )

Great playthrough guys. Need more of these. :)

I will have to look for this game @ Blue Panther. I did not know LnL had this. Interesting fact, as a new Air Navigation Officer with the Royal Canadian Air Force in the 90', I landed on Wake Island and spent the night. This is actually where I got my call sign. One of my claims to fame. Now that I am about to retire, this has brought back good memories. Thanks for the play.

Love your play throughs!

Where is IdJester's email address for non-Facebook users to join the challenge? I didn't see anything on his channel, but I'm probably looking in the wrong spot.

My general gaming goal is to play my history games on the day the event happened [could be when it started, when it ended, some major thing happened]. Purpose is to connect these events to the game. Starting today, Tuesday, January 7, with Prelude to Rebellion. Also going to try to play games more times, other than just once and done.

I'm taking a different approach to "pre-designate any 10 games", even if you played them before - only put 10 new to me games on the list. If I get to complete the challenge it's fine, if I don't at least I make a bit of an impact in my shelf of opportunity playing new titles///

Excellent show as always, don't worry Jester, we all like clear rules 😁 I'm figuring out my list, we'll see what can I play before we start the challenge for the new year.

Great show !

While I never get a chance to watch the show live, I really enjoy listening to you guys - usually while I'm driving or riding my bike. I miss a bit without the video, but it still works pretty well. Keep up the great work. Fun stuff!

Classic show guys... Well done!

I'm getting to the point where I'll have to start a "one in - one out" policy with games. I have five coming in the next two months just from GMT alone.

My list. Tokyo express, Comancheria, Carrier Battle:Philippine Sea, Combat! Campaign, Golen Age of Piracy, Fields of Fire, Enemy Action Ardennes (solo bot), Imperium Classics, Mage Knight, and A Feast for Odin

Just posted my 12 games for this year’s challenge.

i love rounded counters

I have to get it.

One of my favorite game systems from one of my favorite game designers. That was fun. Thanks for putting it up.

Hi thanks for the content, I wanted to verify with you, is LOS blocked by the obstacle hex border or by the art printed of the obstacle in the hex? Thank you, Carlos,

Question. 2nd Officer If you upgrade him does he add to TDC numbers placed or only if he becomes active Captain?

Question. Did we check for Observation from the convoy ships to locate a UBoat after being attacked when they visual increases due to flares etc ? Escort Request Marker

Hi. Do you know what is the tickness of your plexiglass and its weight?. Thanks

Thanks for the show!

All good fun.

Just leaving a comment for the algorithm. Happy holidays!

Great show!

Rough, we Australians were with you from Day 1, together with our Canadian mates.

Great chat! Sorry that I could not be there, I was skiing... 🙂 About the Blocks of the Battle Commander game: you indeed show the Shaken and Disrupted status by flipping the Blocks, BUT the game also offers optional wooden markers to show these (and other formations) without having to do any flips if you prefer it that way. Note that the maps are mounted and double-sided.

Happy New Year ! May 2025 be filled with hours of enjoyment with our games

Hello everyone, thank you for watching. If you like what I do, please support the channel by subscribing, 'pushing the bell' and liking the video - it helps a lot! 🙂

This was a great chat. I'm one of those people that was a euro/ameritrash gamer who came into wargaming in the past few years and the barrier to entry was very high. The rulebooks assume you have been wargaming for years and it took perseverance to break through. And it has to be said, sadly, I also faced gatekeepers quite a few times, "grognards" who were not welcoming, but discouraging, and think you aren't a "true" wargamer unless you've been doing it since the 70s. A lot of the slow progress of wargaming (what we can learn from Euros, or how games have evolved the past 25 years) comes down to many people being afraid of change because "that's how we've always done it". And to balance out my comment, I've also met some wonderful, helpful and friendly wargamers too.
