EotS Basics: Playing the Allies - Part 1

We look here at playing the Allies in the campaign. Part 1 focuses on a brief overview and the early war - that is turns 2 and 3 before the Allies have to start worrying about Progress of the War.

Hi John. Thanks for these great EotS Basics videos. I've just started playing EotS and these videos are a great help to get a grasp of this rather complex game.

Such insightful analysis!

[@johnsteidl293]

It's definitely a game that tends to encourage analysis!

Outstanding video

Great video. However, your discussion of Arcadia failed to mention the benefit of not losing as much due to attrition if ABDA is on the board.

which channel has the best newbie learning videos for this game

[@johnsteidl293]

BGG is usually the best place to see the range of what's out there. Mark Herman has several on his youtube channel, and there is a fairly recent set in spanish, which is great to see. Other than that, I'm afraid you're pretty much stuck with these.

Where can you get a digital copy? Can I play like this the way you are showing it in the video. It'd be great to play online with friends.

Jusuf - If you have never tried Vassal, you're in for a pleasant surprise. You will need to download the Vassal engine, as well as the module for EotS. There are hundreds of other wargame modules available as well. You can either send files back and forth, or play in real time via the Vassal server. To play in real time, you'll want something like Skype for voice. Almost as good as being face to face!
