Yes ... that's my plan ... played one mission so far :)

Funny you mentioning "sleep" ... I was tired early in the afternoon and actually took an hour and a half nap ... then about an hour after my nap the package arrived!!!

ISS Vanguard is more exploration. Rogue Angels is more strategy and tactics. Rogue Angels has a much better "enemies" system. Rogue Angels lets you develop your character(s) as you play through the campaign while ISS Vanguard basically only has an added cost Personnel File for each character. Rogue Angels lets you reuse your action cards (once they are off the cooldown track) while ISS Vanguard cards take much longer to be able to use again (often I could use a card only once in the game). I like Rogue Angels much more than ISS Vanguard. Actually, I quit playing ISS Vanguard when two things happened. First they did something that Sid Meier (of Civilization fame) said to never do ... As Sid put it in his Memoir book (page 113)... quote: People play games to feel good about themselves, and random destruction only leads to paranoia and helplessness. He then noted that this made the game designer feel powerful and clever... but that the game isn't supposed to be about the game developer! The game is supposed to be FUN. Quite a few people commented online that agreed with me that at about mid-point in the campaign there was massive random destruction. It was EXTREMELY frustrating to me and I felt like just tossing out the game. But I played a bit more... and then it seemed like there was a new game designer for the next mission(s) that made moving in the game VERY CONFUSING and DIFFICULT. I had to copy a few of the logbook pages and cut out various log entries and lay them on the floor and try to figure out what in the world I was supposed to do to simply move on to the next area on the game board! That was when I quit playing the game (never did get it out again). Rogue Angels thus far (ie, with the prototype missions) does not have that problem. Missions vary quite a bit, and some were easier than others, but there NEVER was massive random destruction to frustrate me. So ... the short answer to your question ... Rogue Angels is much more fun.

Yes ... but it was amazing for hundreds of people as they took part in this project ... God is amazing to have us do it!

Yes indeed ... and dozens and dozens of people had such AMAZING stories themselves - typically stories revolving around their time writing their pages!

Thank you ... God's word is amazing! Are you doing a similar thing on your own or with other people?

Alone. I have been doing it since 2019.

Thank you! Blessings to you as well!

Yeah :) Wait till you see PART TWO looking at this same mission with a new improved strategy and tactics (completely different after looking at it for another 40 minutes or so :)

Yes, I think it did affect how I play ... but might not be the case for everyone. I like matching up the buildings with the illustration of them - so that illustration needs to actually "match" :)

@LenLindsay That's a bummer. Hopefully they can send new ones?

Yes, some stickers were of the wrong color. Wasn't there at least two like that? I will add this to my KZbin video description.

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for watching! Glad it was useful :)

They are their own "games"... they utilize components from the Core game though.

Yep ... that's me. It's also me for Pet Gazette and Compute! magazine and the Handwritten Bible :)

@@LenLindsay did you change your email adresse them? I've been emailing you for two years know without getting a reply 😅 Cool video by the way 😁 like the style! I wrote you some time ago because I am writing a book where comal plays a huge rolle, and I would like to get my hands on some of your first publications and then I obviously have a lot of questions to 😅

@@RetroComputingwithMike I haven't done anything lately (even remotely lately) with COMAL.

@@LenLindsay i have! I'm writing a book about the history of it 😁

Thanks for watching all three parts!

The nice thing about Rogue Angels is that they give you two sets of stickers so that you can play through the game again with the same characters and still have a fresh set of stickers. Note that each hero (character) has their own set of stickers, so you can play the game at least four full times before using up the first set of stickers. Rogue Angels went way out of their way to try to make it very re-usable / re-playable!

Yes ... the game mechanisms for Rogue Angels are very good indeed!

I posted an article about the dice tray system here=> myissvanguard.com/2022/10/12/excellent-dice-tray-system/

Thank you!

Survivors for sure will not work with the core game. And Situations (hopefully) were devised specifically for this and not the core game. Wave 2 makes it more complicated to store your game when finished because you will need to separate all the cards and components out and back into their respective boxes! (could take as long as playing a mission:)

@@LenLindsay fortunately we have a game table and no cat and it will be the campaign game we play at our weekly session is much of the game will get to just hang out on that table for the next few months

Thank you Syko1985... both games are similar but extremely different at the same time! It really is cool that if you like this style of game you get get both of them and have two different experiences rather than one copying the other!

Glad to help with it ... the game is very interesting and this video is just a small part of it :)

Thank you ... it was a wonderful project with God in our midst the whole way!

Yeah ... I was fortunate that my order was in the first container to get to the USA!

Actually I no longer recommend the metal reinforcement rings. After some use they rip right through the pages. I still do like the plastic rings that you stick around the edge of the 3 ring holes

Here is where I got the reinforcement rings => www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EIXMRQO/

I will stay with the non-metal ones then. Thank you

I'm glad interesting things just appear for you :)

@@LenLindsay Haha. yes. Can I empoy your services to make my other crowdfunded games appear too? 😁

Yes, I think it turned out alright ... though I feel like I forgot to mention half of the things about each game :)

Yes... Language Wave 1 should be arriving around the world about now!

have to wait 1 years more (single shipment u_u)!@@LenLindsay

😂 and it really happened unscripted during my first unboxing video ... I seriously thought that I got my name on a card :)

Yeah... And soon to come a closer look at Deadly Frontier

Thanks for trying that for me ... I also found one way that might have worked but the first and last videos were too long

Absolutely "neat" ... I think I might do a detailed unboxing next to look closer at what's included (with minor spoilers)

Thanks ... parts 2 and 3 are now uploaded ... now I hope someone can tell me how to merge them together into just one video :)

All of the art from all of the volumes has been collected and put together into a book titled Handmade Art ... an article about it is here=> handwrittenbible.com/2022/06/30/lord-give-me-goosebumps/

Yes! Since you enjoyed it so much, I am sure that I will as well.
