At 20:44, don’t think the Panzer Lehr unit can cross the bridge out of Clervaux because of the bridge interdiction rule? Crossing the bridge would cost 3 for moving into American zone of control and another 3 as armored unit for crossing the river. Because of the interdiction rule, believe the bridge is treated as if not there and therefore the Clervaux hex and the hex on the other side of the bridge coming out of Clervaux are deemed to not be connected by the road for the purpose of calculating movement points. The designer’s FAQ at BoardGameGeek has several questions and answers on the bridge interdiction rule, fyi. I definitely found this rule confusing at first until read various BoardGameGeek forum posts on the topic and the FAQ

When you place the German LMG team, since it is firing through another contact marker in the open ground card, you remove contact marker 'A' therein.

how are you solo playing? simply keeping one card and discarding other every turn and then just not looking? I guess the only thing this could mess up are cards you can use to react to opponents card?

The game seems wonderful (in many ways more intriguing than Commands & Colors: Ancients), but the complexity of the cavalry rules gives me pause.
@soloboardgaming2 ай бұрын
The cavalry rules are not easy and somewhat awkward to apply. But I concede that cavalry were not hugely effective during this period. Theyre there to harry and harrass rather than provide a gamechanging hit

Well done. Informative and entertaining. One small niggle. I believe the second time Moraitis used a grenade while he was on the Houses square, you rolled a two on the Cover dice and claimed it failed because you needed a 3 or better. However, you did not take into account the penetration value of the grenade. So, your two successfully defeated the enemies cover. And, you scored numerous kills as opposed to suppression. Turned out not to be a big deal but it did cost you one extra turn. Thanks for taking time to put out this video series.

Playing Napoleon is great! I feel like either side could win especially the games of hardest difficulty. But playing Wellington was disappointing, I just kept winning with little effort. So I made it more challenging for Wellington to win by modifying the BOT rules for the French. I added to French BOT roll of one: If Prussian have 2 units on game board move one French Reserve unit to reinforce I Corps. Then the given "4 Prussion" option and the "otherwise" option. I added to French BOT roll of four - at the end: BUT, If there is only one Guard unit left after the attack move the last Guard unit to reinforce I Corps. I also add to the French BOT rolls of five or six that after the Cavalry attack: if 3 Cavalry units still remain move one to reinforce it's adjacent Corps. (Dragoons could dismount and use their muskets :). Lastly I changed the BOT 6 roll on the "Tactical Events" to remove 2 Allied Infantry units rather than just the one. Finally it was fun and quite challenging playing Wellington too! Enjoy from Virginia!

The huge mistake was the Rooney appointment of course, and we never recovered from it. But we are now where we deserve to be. We can part ways with some dead wood and spend on the positions we need. And hopefully Tony Mowbray will be back from sick leave and can lead us through a really exciting season and back into the Championship! Well......thats the plan anyway 😂

Also @ 49:32 shouldn't the husband promotion be free?? As per the housewife's card ability? Maybe the courtship still needs to be rolled? I am not 100% sure there, but I do not think he needed the disk, he should be promoted for free if courtship were to be successful, as I understand it.
