I cannot get past the rulebook of Warfighter, the one for Modern Special Forces Combat. The rule book is the reason I do not play Warfighter.

Good unboxing.

Great review. Thanks!

haven't bought a coin game since Pendragon which is my benchmark for them tbh but this one looks promising

You guys cost me a fortune. Just pre ordered it. £55 seemed reasonable though.

Thanks for the unboxing, really made my day. Look forward to seeing you two review the game. It is the heaviest COIN I have yet tackled. Mainly been playing solitaire either multi-handed or with the Curiosity bot (and also the Skycrane app).

Santa got me this for Christmas! Will get it to the table as soon as my son and I finish our current game of Dune Imperium.

You guys are great !

Is this from the guy that does “Three Minute Reviews”? COIN games are a bear to run solo! I have begrudgingly admitted defeat. I mean, I can do it but it just saps all of the fun out of the solo experience. COIN titles are really better with all slots at the table filled… imho. Playthrough of this planned?

Sick ill buy this game then have everything i need to put together 40k minis lol.

Enliven a few miles away from Cahhokia, IL, have my whole life, lol

Just a small FYI guys in case you hadn't already realised, Grant's audio is quite muffled in this one. Mic placement perhaps?

Alexander, I have some info I wanted share with on on Pursuit of glory. How can I contact you in a semi-private forum/email? Good show as usual

These two do make me laugh! Superb channel, but can't help chuckling at their obvious thrill and delight when going into the box of the gigantic 'ASSAULT' game at about 1:49. Fellow with specs caressing the ring-bound edges of one of the manuals, then an obvious frisson as the lid of the box slowly dropped into place! The chap on the RHS scrabbling to get at the dice, only to be thwarted by the packaging - he took it well! Honestly thought at any second their excitement would be too much for them and one would faint whilst the other started tearing at the packaging with gnashing-teeth to get at the goodies inside! Every time I watch their superb videos I enjoy every second of it as not a single mannerism of their characters is contrived, but subtle and real. I always learn so much from their videos and find their genuine enthusiasm very contagious! Thank chaps for another delightful and helpful video!

There you go again, gentlemen.... review more games that you know I will be unable to resist buying...War Story Occupied France (game play similar to Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective with added tactical elements) and a Sci Fi Horror multiplayer...The Thing. Infection At Outpost 3. Another New Year's resolution down the drain...no more buying new games until I play at least a third of my still unopened games sitting on my selves...they deserve some love too! Oh well, life is short, and games are many. I find that where I live, in coastal Oregon, unfortunately there are no nearby board gaming groups to play my multiplayer games. So, I have to travel to either GMT's warehouse events or coordinate with my Fresno/Southern California GMT gaming buddies and travel to Fresno for our annual Squirrelage event at the Crazy Squirrel Game Store. Way too few occasions and opportunities and so far, far away as I have gotten older, and travel is more lengthy and physically difficult. I have occasionally done the Discord thing with my GMT gaming friends but it is not the same as hanging out together and sharing our adventures in person. I totally agree with you gentlemen; I go to our events to exclusively play multiplayer games. I am the one who usually introduces my friends to non-GMT multiplayer games when we gather together: Fief, Clash of Cultures, SHCD, Pax Pamir, Mare Nostrum, Brotherhood of Unity, Western Legends, Corrupt Bargain and Dead of Winter. Some our immediate hits with them, others they will pass on until the following year when they have reached popularity and others like Corrupt Bargain unfortunately get passed on repeatedly year after year. Since our original GMT group of Squirrels is six but has expanded to ten to twelve at the Crazy Squirrel, in those three days rarely are any of us able to select more than one or two games to introduce for play. Again, thanks for the wonderful game gift suggestions...my best friend right now is happily enjoying the copy of crowdfunded Purple Haze I got for him based on your original preview review years ago. Game on gentlemen...you crazy guys bringing joy and enlightenment in a far crazier world.

My Xmas present from my darling wife. Looking forward to giving it a whirl 👍

Looks very similar to Columbia's Rommel in the Desert, the best wargame in this theatre.

A must have for any Australian or New Zealand Wargames. Added to my list of must have games.

Nice review gents! Good job of explaining the rules and the parts that you liked and didn’t. On balance, it sounds well thought out, playable, and fun. Timely too- I’m getting ready to put it on the table soon.

Gallipoli is a little-gamed subject. I applaud this game.

I had a pretty good War Fighter WWII collection that I traded for a couple of the COIN series games. REGRET :-(

😂 thanks folks , but think I'm sticking with Courtney f Allen's, Storm over Arnhem m8 , good game, nice ideas/mechanics,,,,, ps , hope trump has his bay of pigs down in the Panama, u yanks really ain't making friends right now ,😢🌲🕯️🌒🥂🌲🕊️🐦

I believe that card combat mechanic started with We the People (GMT version changed it to a die roll) and Hannibal.

I think interception should be far more rare but also far more deadly for the bomber. Many aircrew finished their tours without even seeing a NF but of course many of the 55,000 KIA only saw one.

Wish I had seen your comments before buying the fantasy version and all its associated expansion decks. I hope DVG does a massive rules errata or something to recover that Warfighter version.

I went all in, but to be honest, I felt most of the equipment/skills etc. were useless. The budget in points is so tight you can't really customize your characters that much equipment wise. I really, really wanted to love this game, but in the end I just thought it lacked depth. I will do another try and might end up selling it. I'm sure if you love Warfighter games, you will enjoy it, maybe I prefer games that offers more player agency.

I think this system works best with playing the basic game and then adding some chrome here or there. Kind of eliminates the fiddliness of the game. You get after it quickly and get to playing. Love that!

I totally agree with you on the really tight fitting boxes, it's really easy to catch the corners of the board. That's my only complaint, great production quality generally.

What a great video. I’m not used to seeing wargamers disagree as civilly (ha!) as this. Awesome perspective from both of you.

You had me at no stickers!

Your lucky you have a community pot to play two player My 15 yr old loses interest and my wife is a Pacifist

I still haven’t unboxed mine lol

It is the same of Columbia games?

Thanks for your job!

I watched your review and immediately purchased this game and now it's arrived in time for Christmas 😀 Can't wait to play it, this is my 1st Warfighter game. Thanks guys, keep up the good work and have a Merry Christmas 🎅

My father and I played this!

I think DVG knocked it out of the park with this one for all of the reasons you mentioned. They absolutely nailed the art work and overall theme. It’s become my second favorite game in the Warfighter series behind only Shadow War, which is ironic considering that game often favors avoiding a fight and this one requires going out of your way to find a fight.

I went "all in" for this Kickstarter, and I've been nothing but happy I did! Love It!

That's a lotta flowcharts. 😥

Is the game on the website, the new edition?

Nice to see someone taking about Lock 'N Load Tactical, one of my favourite systems. Crunchy, but smooth, and the alternating activations make it great for solo, even if you don't use the solo system. I came to it from ASLSK - which I do love. I can't play solo though with all the hidden info in the later scenarios, but PBEM it is awesome. It is very mechanical, but once you grok the rules the story of the battles shines through - but it is a very dense game to get to that level of rules knowledge!

Need to grab this....Ben's "The Mission" is a favorite of mine, and a nice occasional change of pace.

Warfighter Vietnam or Purple Haze?

'We didn't do anything overtly illegal' - me, flashes onto the moment in Platoon where Tom Berenger is telling Dale Dye that he can come up with a dozen witnesses to corroborate his story... The mind boggles on what your playthrough was like: 'The Horror'...

I got 3 grand assaults off with Grant in the Champion Hill scenario!

This is an excellent addition to the Warfighter series!! Until I get some of the expansions, I am using some of the weapons and Soldiers from my Modern set to create a Special Forces unit, 😂. Thanks for taking a look at this and reviewing it. I was eagerly waiting for this review. Have a Merry Christmas!

“Hey Jude” is not a Mission and “Born to be Wild” is not an Objective in my base game. Which expansion(s) have you added? [#3 by the looks of things]. Love the naming of the missions and objectives. It’s a pity they ran out of song titles to use. “Born to be Wild” is both a Mission title and an Objective title! You stated early in the video the “The rulebook is perfect”? Hmmm? Why then is there no index (there was in the Warfighter Universal Rulebook)? The explanation of the card details is a backward step compared with the Warfighter Universal Rulebook. This rulebook is not written with the new player to the system in mind. Check out the last paragraph on p.9 for example - that will mean absolutely nothing to a new player? The rulebook was not proofread was it? The rulebook still refers to non existent ammo jam counters. The introduction paragraph 3 should have been rewritten to reflect the format of rulebook actually produced. Having said that, having purchased Warfighter WWII a couple of years ago, attempted to learn the rules and returned it to the box in favour of another game with better written rules, I still like the system and the fact that it sits below Fields of Fire, Combat! and Point Blank in terms of complexity making it easier to get to the table. I ended up purchasing it and all expansions convinced that this iteration of the game is the one for me (plus it scratches the Vietnam itch, along with Purple Haze). I can see that for guys like the two of you who are already familiar with the system, this game is easy for you to get into, but for someone new to the system, the rule book makes the experience unnecessary hard work. Until you are familiar with the text and phrasing on the cards you are frequently left blindly flicking backwards and forwards through the rulebook, the keywords sheets and BGG forum entries trying to figure out how the game works and what phrases mean. It reminds me of Crisis 1914, a great game spoilt by a rulebook that appeared to be written by someone who already knows the game inside out and has not fully considered how someone new to the game or system would look at the rulebook. As an aside, the only criticism I have seen of this game is that there are only 3 US player soldiers and that the same hostiles keep reappearing. This is easily overcome if you factor in that you would get more of both if you purchase an extra couple of expansions #1 or #2 for more US and #4 for more hostiles when you purchase the base game. I appreciate the effort that the person responsible put into improving the rulebook over the previous versions but it feels like there were either time or budgetary constraints that prevented the author on producing the perfect set of rules for this game. Thanks for your explanation of the game; really helps the learning process. Once I get to grips with Vietnam, will I also feel more like returning to Warfighter WWII? Would you still go back to Pacific, Mediterranean etc or does this version replace the early games for you?

Hello guys, thank you for your videos ❤. Do you have any suggestions for war board games that girls can enjoy? Thank you 😊❤

This is definitely my next purchase in the Warfighter series. All of the differences between this and WWII Warfighter look really cool.

I tried a Warfighter game, but I wasn't impressed or entertained. I ended up selling it.
