How to Play Marvel: Crisis Protocol

[@hwa523ca]

I bought this game recently! The miniatures were a pain to assemble, but I can't wait to play!

[@patricklynch1839]

UGH you have to assemble them?!

@@tearable20s95 I've been playing the game more, and I have assembled more miniatures since, and I've gotten much better at it.

I’m new to this game and this tutorial, the best so far great explanation of the rules 👍🏽

[@benkiger7992]

Agreed. I need to watch it like 5 times to retain it all.

[@bengamingames5002]

Great video, thank you

[@seanmoulson1013]

Great tutorial. Quick and to the point. Thank you. Also the fact that their voice reminds me of Jeff Goldblum and that made me even more happy.

Now that you said that, I can't unhear it! lol!

Somebody hire him for Atomic Robot Games videos, narrated by the Collector!

[@DarkAutumnScribe]

Just picked up the base game for my son and (mostly) me! I appreciate this tutorial very much! Keeping my finger crossed for the Howard the Duck, and Peter Porker models!

[@gamooky]

I’ve watched your legion stuff a lot and wanted to get into this game I looked all over the internet and this is the only guide that’s actually helped me thank you

[@sxcdudeson]

Hey Crabbok, just purchased the game and you literally knocked it out of the park! You explained everything and I think you've just got a new subscriber! Some questions would be what paints did you use for you characters and where did you go about getting the terrain? Thanks!!!

[@Sammo212]

Hey, dude. The terrain actually comes with the core box. I don't know what paints he used but you can quickly get them looking good and table ready with the Citadel contrast paints.

[@maulandpaulstudios]

@@Sammo212 he means the stuff he adds

[@jboltz85]

Just bought this after watching this video! You sold it

[@patrickmuller7334]

Just a few corrections to the throw section: 1. Thrown characters are measured from their own base, thrown terrain from the throwing character 2. Strange choice to use Spiderman as throw target, then not use the rerolls he gets against throws 3. You might want to add that the thrown character always takes that one damage, no defensive roll involved Otherwise great video, thanks a lot!

[@JMM_123]

This was very helpful! One of the better ones for sure. Especially since you took the time to go through the basics.❤

[@brianmosbey754]

I'd love to see several examples of LOS and cover rules. I don't think that is covered very well in the Learn to Play book. It's a touch different than most games.

About to play my first game in a long time introducing someone. Perfect video for a refresher. Thanks!

[@jackrogers5712]

Excellent explanation, thanks! You did a better job than anyone else I've seen on KZbin,

[@erichludwig2095]

Looks like a lot of fun. I like the idea of destructible terrain

[@jeremyjohnson9053]

Forgot Crabbok even existed after X-wing... then I was getting into MCP and there he was my helpful friend.

[@mattbarber3939]

Tim, you're our super hero game guru pal! Keep on keepin on dude!

Seems cool but I already have a plastic crack addiction and a gray mountain to work through. Maybe one day.

[@ThanatoselNyx]

I can definitely see the similarities with Warmachine and Hordes.

LOVE the shirt Crabbok!!! Which Hero/Villain/Character is your current favorite?

[@Crabbok]

Probably Hulk right now!

[@imperialadvisoraremheshvau3788]

Nice save on the paint for your minis by the way! Good job.

[@Apollo_Vanron]

I thought this would be more like Mutants and Masterminds, but I am pleasantly surprised. Very interesting.

[@ryanwidmer4831]

Picked up my core set already and already have them built, waiting to play my first game.

[@baconator285]

Just got my core set! This video will be sooo helpful!!!

[@MichaelStewartArt]

You should do voice overs for Dr. Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch)

[@Tbos92]

Thanks for the rundown, the minis are looking great too!

[@bradleygilmore]

This video was incredibly helpfu. Thanks so much!

[@jasonsiegel3869]

That video was great.. made the game easy to understand. Thanks.. can't wait for more.

[@bub7771]

I'm late to the game and your video. Where did you get the large buildings? I can't seem to find them on crisis protocol store. Thanks

[@patrickwalters6819]

Double check but I believe "push" is a type of movement not a direction in this game. some pushes give a direction "away" "toward" but if no then the push can be in any direction. Core rule says treat pushes exactly like throws but with out collision damage. Over all great just on video flow and lay out

[@Galloglaoch]

So...the X-Men comming to that game finally sparked my interest towards it, even if I've seen it before on your channel. However there is no real community for the game around me and I was wondering do you think the game can be fun if played as a mission either co-op versus game master or team versus team with multiple player. Perhaps every player taking control of 1 or 2 characters(depending on number of players and threat level)? Are the characters fun to play on their own or the game gets the fun from forming a team and playing with it? Because I definately can have friends over and us play a few missions with either a game master controlling the bad guys or let's say threat ends up as 4v4 so 2 people controlling 2 characters per team(so a 2v2 match) or if threat is low enough everyone controling 1 character etc. But since theese minis are super expensive I guess I can do something similar with HeroClix. So yeah do you think such a way of playing can be fun or the game is not well suited for it(like you can't really play Warhammer with people controlling singular units of an army)? This question is for everyone reading, not just Crabbok as the video is a year old, I'm hoping someone(anyone) see it and offers some insight on that.

[@Mallow]

Fantastic tutorial video, great explanation and examples

[@mayurikurotsuchi1527]

I just so happened to be planning on creating a tabletop game that is marvel based. Cane across this video while researching the competition. Hope one day ill see it reviewed here. Great video.

[@ChrisEvans66]

How do attacks work if someone is on a size 4 building against someone on the ground?

[@durley1915]

You paint really fast. I takes me usually a few hours just to paint one mini.

[@salvation7362]

I wanted to get this even just for the minis... but finding someone to play with at my age isn't easy. Hell trying to get together with friends a few times a year for a couple of hours for dinner is hard enough!

[@evanlindsey1100]

There's a solo mode. The rules are on the atomic mass website.

[@PureBrawler]

this kind of reminds me of warcaster neo-mecha, which is good because I love that game

[@roland6776]

I'm sold. I'm getting this game. What's a good starting point after the core characters?

[@JohnnyLeyenda]

After the core game you'd probably want to get some characters with Mystic attacks. Or with new affiliations to spread your choice and tactics. I have all the characters released so far, and my main advice is: Get the characters you like. Honestly, it's the best way to play (at the very least in terms of fun). However, if you want some strong choices, MODOK, Thor, Shuri, and Corvus Glaive are very strong currently. I'd skip the terrain packs (they are very expensive and you can get die cast vehicles, MDF buildings or even papercraft ones for much cheaper), that lets you get more characters but you still want a nice table with varied terrain. Another tip, you can see in the back of the boxes the characters that have "Crisis cards", these are the objective cards so you can get these if you want more variety regarding missions. All in all, the best way to get into the game is the core and get some games in, from there you can see maybe what you're lacking in team compositions or what you would like.

[@abender7303]

Thank you. The game just arrived yesterday.

[@MrZanreth1]

Nice look at the gameplay. Thanks! Can't wait to play this game.

Brilliant video mate. Soooo helpful!

How long doe damage from a battle last? Entire game? Or just through the battle? I might have missed it.

Plz tell can we play this game solo?

Is it weird that the top of the base of the figure has the Super Smash Bros logo?

[@corbingandy8231]

Super helpful. Thanks for the overview!

[@daniellopez189]

I wonder if the rules change for the hulk if I paint him grey instead of green 🤔

[@zeth609]

Nice video and great explanation.

[@williammayo1385]

Thanks for the demo. Thinking about trying this out.

[@imperialadvisoraremheshvau3788]

This game is MUCH easier to get into than Legion as far as casual gaming and price to jump into, (and arguably a little easier) but Legion has a more RABID fan base and options for extended repeat playability.

Gread Explanation Video!

[@CrankyOldGamer]

Really helpful video, thank you!

[@Fireblaster-hi8ju]

Does the Wall crawler ability count as an action or is it just a superpower?

[@doclemur9521]

I'm thinking it's a passive ability. Thats just kinda how they move.

[@BigBenzilla]

Question... if damage is taken to the point where a character is dazed, but not dead... do they still get power for being hit? Do they lose all built up power?

[@Crabbok]

Only for the amount of damage that it took to daze them. They keep that power and come back angry next turn!

[@BigBenzilla]

@@Crabbok sweet, and thanks for the quick reply! I do have 2 other questions if you have a min... What benifit is high ground on buildings if it leaves you visible and exposed? Also Stagger, stun and bleed. You can shake off stagger, what about stun or bleed?

[@starmada105]

First! Finally! (Never been first before) thank you crabbok!

[@LalienX]

So I can have Iron Man and Thanos on the same team? Yes!

[@RicoZaid_]

Is there an AI solo play system? If not when are you writing it?! 😊

[@Crabbok]

Oh boy - This one might be awhile

[@Spiran_SphereHunter]

There is an ultimate encounter available for free at www.atomicmassgames.com/rules , It is official, Can be played with the contents of a single core boxset and has the option for the enemy raid boss to be controlled via ai ruleset so can be played solo

[@jonathanmora8208]

EPIC!!!

[@maximem.ste-marie3578]

how in hell Hulk has "short" movement.. wtf

[@owenbevt3]

I'm guessing Hulk has more power than Back widow? in which case he may be able to move almost as fast if that's what he's focusing on? may things I don't understand yet though.

[@BigBenzilla]

He has a bounding superpower that let's him trade power for movements, also his base is huge, a small move is actually closer to a medium.

[@mandomerlie1997]

Do you recommend this game over Star Wars Legion?

[@danieltaylor-moseley3590]

both pretty similar games wouldnt say ones better than the other

[@Vincento1994]

Different styles. This is X-Wing where Legion is Armada. This is more about the individual and a quick(er) skirmish style fight. Where Legion is more of a full scale war/battle. Both have there pros. I personally have both and would play either for different reasons. Think it comes down to are you more a marvel fan than a Star Wars fan.

[@Amr-ep3vl]

The contrast paints used for the hulk model is a pity for such a beautiful mini :(

[@maximem.ste-marie3578]

how in hell Black Widow has "long'" movement.. wtf

[@NerdLantern]

OK let’s ask the obvious question nobody’s asking why is this game better than heroclix why should I buy this game over heroclix.

[@owenbevt3]

You just made me look that up and then spend £15 on it on ebay ;-p

[@rongarzon7295]

what the fakey fake heroclix is this
