"Full moon, no British raid. Unfortunately"... said no WW2 era German ever ;)

Another great video. Don't the armor units get to fire their MG values as well? It seemed like you only fired the main gun.

Great AAR Joe!

this doesn't look remotely fun

Interesting concept, but since it’s Raicer that means an automatic pass for me. Fantastic box cover, btw.

Joe, you may get another commission on this one .... thanks, as always, another great overview. And, there's nothing wrong with your accent!!!!!! 😊 Nick Stasnopolis

Let's see how this goes. These sort of games can be engaging, but they face the threat of being repetitive. In my experience, Silent Victory minimized this threat by the sheer variety of Japanese target ships. I wonder how this one will turn out! :)

Still waiting to get this volume up in Canada and can't wait to play the Canadians.

I’m starting to dislike you 😊, you are going to make me spend money. I am an old Squad Leader, ASL player. In recent years I went into The Last Hundred Yards system. I am a huge fan of small unit level games set in WWII and this system seem like a lot of fun

19:00 moving one space using stealth movement to avoid taking opportunity fire doesn’t accomplish anything. It’s functionally the same as moving one space and ending your impulse, thereby starting the opponent’s impulse. Your movement is not interrupted only moving one space and its protection ends when your impulse ends.

I prefer play by play in all playthroughs. Helps me learn the game, be part of the action, and do same day quaterbacking. Appreciate your work

love vid love the play through

Any chance you’d be able to do Legion games Invasion Malta?

Joe is really beating this one to death - part 3!

Thanks again! Would like one more video with you spending earned points if available to show how that works.

I don’t think tie breaker goes to speciality, every wrestler has a speciality. I thing it goes to who scores last like with signature.

why did you not import historic rookies? I have always thought that's what put the real players in the game in the years they debuted. Is it something else?

Looks interesting. Technically, the NHL had white jerseys at home and dark jerseys on the road back then.

Great post. Love the playthrough. Great game & great channel. Thank you.

Difficult choice, but I vote for armoured or combined arms from FtE. Thanks again for the work you put in, cheers!

Good preview, thanks 🙂

Sure! I would like to see an AAR as well.

how do you compare OST to Band of Brothers from Worthington?

On to Part 3!!!

Agreed turn by turn AARs with the occasional interruption with how things work, like armor combat.

Another great video. I am good with seeing an AAR or seeing a scenario with armor.

Just so you know, s16-s23 are out of LOS or range of all the Italians in your setup. Given your setup, you could have snuck on to the hill from there with the commandos, gotten the high ground and would probably have singled out the scattered Italians (remember +2 DRM for leader plus height advantage is absolutely devastating statistically). Also, the first unit you entered was not in LOS (Italian group can’t see over the hill contour and when on hill you can only see over it if on a lip hex). Also, tactically, if you’re routinely get shot at with -1 or greater on the ICT, and esp with a +1 DRM added, you’re in a world of trouble

Grande video mi hai fatto capire le regole del gioco grazie

This looks like another fun game in the series. Thanks for the preview Joe!

Just played sickle cut, now trying the combined game, great game, good maps, lovely counters and good complexity for a seemingly simple game which it is not, hard to play well, in my first attempt the Germans got creamed, so I have lots to learn. Thanks for the video.

Think this is first video with gameplay for Vol 4. Thanks! One clarification - the final impulses by British Commando units at end of video: -1 DRM for firing after moving offset by +1 Commandos elite status? But should the Commandos have been able to move and “normal” fire 2x in the same turn (3 Limited Actions)? The unit would be deemed “Used” after move and first fire action ? Second fire action would be subject to intensive fire rule with -1 FP and -1 DRM?

Nice video. Thanks! PS I think towards the end of video (around 52:07), there is only one casualty point for the destroyed tank because the crew survived (two if both tank and crew eliminated)

Also, instead of not doing something on a turn , you can roll for cover at the cost of one impulse.

Nice video! Don’t forget commandos can stealth move.

Awesome video Joe. Would love to see a Canadian battle in the near future?

Great Video Joe. I will have to pull out my copy again.

I think there is some debate as to whether corkscrewing affects defensive fire of the bomber. Methinks the rules state it only affects attacking fire and not the gunner’s ability to hit the nightfighter, though some forum queries and comments question this… and I don’t remember the actual pros and cons put forward by the discussing parties.

Good to see that very enjoyable game videoed. Beware: when the moon is full the RAF may cancel the raid altogether. There is a 1D6 roll to make to determine that. The catch is this small element of rule isn’t stated in any player aid, as far as I can remember, but in the rules booklet only. Also, with the evolution of your pilot and his ability to fly more evolved planes you shall see there are inconsistencies and errors in the aircraft cards (like cannons with unlimited ammo or MGs with limited ammo). You should refer to the errata to amend this.

You played the first mission correctly but then began rolling 2 d6 for intercepts instead of a d10. Remember, too, that a natural 10 is an automatic interception. Also, the bomber crashed on the way home and didn't make it, but you have to see if someone spotted it going down before you get credit--roll a d6 and need 1-2. This rule is kind of buried in the example on page 11 of rules and hard to miss. And a pro-tip, always use SM to attack if you have it.

I believe you were INCORRECT when you did the setup for the Germans in Scenario 1: Take The High Ground The German setup: INFANTRY x 8 SdKfz 251 x 4 deploy in: D12, E12, F12, G12, H12, I12 OR H12 (Not the way as shown in your video where you deployed The Germans on D12 thru J12 hexes as a wide front.) We Just completed Scenario 1 ourselves and had the Germans enter G12. Due to stacking limits (2 units max) it seemed limiting and problematic at first that the Germans could only enter the map board on ONE of those listed hexes. Despite that, the Germans were still able to MOVE UP and eliminate three Soviet infantry units with the last Soviet infantry units Disrupted, Reduced and completely surrounded. I urge you to play this scenario again to see what your outcome would be. Even with the Soviets in High Ground and in the Forest, the Germans' Superior morale overwhelmed the Soviet units. Clearly not enough Soviet units to offset the German advantages IMHO.

I have an extra Stalingrad in shrink that I ordered by accident many moons ago. Was going to sell to Noble Knight. Let me know if you want to intercept it.

I heard that Flying Pig does not ship outside the USA, is that true?

Mine arrives next week! I love this system, and it is my go-to for WW2 squad play. Looking forward to your play through. Cheers!

I skipped buying this one, maybe after I play all the others I have purchased and not yet played

let's see Italian theater playthrough scenario

OST Month! OST Month! OST Month!...lol, just kidding but that would be cool! 😎 This is a rock solid game series with a first rate publisher. Shayne Logan's artwork is still my personal favorite out of all the amazing and fantastic artwork out there in the hobby.

Great Video Joe. I hope you do an OST month some day. There is a lot of game in those two boxes. Mine just arrived as well.

Hope you like it!

thanks for the video and posting the link to the missing sheet. Seems like a pretty big thing not to notice, I hope their QC guy never goes to work for an airline.

Any chance you’d be able to do invasion of Malta?
