(1/4) Solo Playthrough: Lanzerath Ridge from DVG - The Players' Aid

[@billyriley492]

Funny story - it was seeing this on pre-order in a local online store that made me check it out, which led me to your video on Pavlov's House - which I bought - and now I am getting to see the game I was looking for in action - and will undoubtedly purchase at some stage. Good informative video Thank you

Thanks for the video Grant. I enjoyed watching you work through the turn. It's obvious you enjoy the game. I got my copy but it may be next weekend before I can set it up for a go. I'll watch the rest of this series first but this one was a big help and will kickstart my own playthrough.

Nice run through Grant. Really like this new approach of unboxing and then playing the game. A very interesting fist part, will look forward to watching the next streams

A good start to the game and some excellent explanations on rules and tactics. Thank you.

Waiting on mine from a retailer, which will complete my collection for now (excited to hear more about #5). Appreciate you posting this play-through so quickly! You both continue to impress. Cheers!

When you do the Adjust Fire at around 19:00 I think you missed the +1's for the 2nd and 3rd attacks. It's the one action in the rules I had to re-read a few times as I didn't understand at first why you would gamble on using multiple pieces of ammo.

@@colinwright27 You are correct.

I was just reading about this in Citizen Soldiers by Stephen Ambrose.

Damn that map looks awesome in the real!

[@colinwright27]

Just got my copy an hour ago. Hoping to give it a go this weekend as really enjoy the other games in the series.

Managed a game this morning but lost at the end of the 1st round when an Attacker ended up in a Defender space and I had no way of removing it. Does seem a little more complex than the previous games. Definitely agree with the comment about the size of the counters - they are far too small.

[@glayher]

Thanks for this video. I played through the first wave and then had to reset because of the exhausted rule. I was not playing it correctly.

[@Alejus-z8y]

In what part of the game is the intelligence track used? I look for it in the manual but I can't find it? What use is it given?

[@ThePlayersAid]

@@Alejus-z8y The Intelligence track goes from 0-4 and the player will have to commit to moving certain intelligence units to the appropriate areas to take a Radio-Intelligence Action to place Radio Tokens. These tokens can later be discarded to attempt an Intelligence Roll to move this track up one space. These successful attempts at intelligence represent Victory Points at the end of the game but have no other game effect.

[@Alejus-z8y]

@@ThePlayersAid Perfect! Thanks for the prompt response, I really appreciate it.

Last defense phase. Did black triangle 1 defenders have LOS to the MG-42?

[@grantkleinhenz6789]

I probably made a mistake there. I think I did this a couple of times so I apologize. I get distracted by the talking, discussion, videoing, etc and sometimes make these type of mistakes.

[@cardboardconflicts]

Oh you have something at the end, always fire at MG42’s even if long odds you reset afterwards. That’s what I try doing most of the time.
