This is without doubt the clearest most informative tutorial I have seen for this game. I have picked up more from your work than multiple re reads of the rulebook... Tho that could just be me😂 looking forward to next installment 👍

Fields of Fire is a difficult game. You are helping me a lot, yours is the only Playthrough on KZbin that I can follow well. I understand well when you speak (I am Italian, I know English quite well), we perceive the passion you put and the fun you feel while you play it also transmitted to those who look, and doesn't happen often! You are really nice, keeping us to play with you! :D

At 16:40, after drawing the Reshuffle card, you seem to have continued and drawn another card without reshuffling first(!). Edit: I'm in error here. "If you encounter the reshuffle card, finish drawing the cards and then reshuffle all the cards, including the reshuffle card." [3rd edition 2.2.3]

Sure, I do normally continue current draw before reshuffle. Just my preference and too minor to worry about 😊

At 23:37, you read the word "Auto" from the "Leader on Card" column, which wasn't applicable for that card (which had only an HMG team and a squad). So the HMG team should have attempted to self-rally via a two-card draw (since Pinned units retain their original experience level, which is Line for the Germans in this scenario).

It does not at all stop the enjoyment. Honestly, I doubt the designers would be able to play this game "error free". It's that game were as you pointed out before - there's so many little fringe rules. But play, play, play and they eventually stick more often than not. As you said before - you always seem to be learning this game. But it is well worth the journey.

This was a great watch, very nice tight action pack despite the low count of actions you kept the momentum going. I particularly liked the priority sequence for enemy action, the map being dynamic and your assault team coming upon that patrol. Such a vivid action sequence story.

It’s easier housekeeping if you remove the pinned markers straight away when a miss is drawn. You then adjust the VOF at the end of combat using the current board state. Otherwise you might forget that the pinned was created the previous round and think it was added the current round. This makes it easier for larger engagements.

At 9:28, when you moved those two units forward into the village, don't forget that because there's a VOF on that card, you can attempt to infiltrate instead of moving, and if successful, you avoid getting the Exposed marker (which you should have put on them when you did a regular move, I know you know that).

@TheBlueTweezers
@TheBlueTweezers 3 жыл бұрын
Good Stuff. Couple of things: You could have had your units moving into the village infiltrate to avoid the exposed. When your unit found cover in the woods in column 2 and the village its only the unit itself that can use the cover and not the whole stack. The rest would have to be ordered to move into cover. Also when the HMG team got an activity check of rally, you didn't check if it actually rallied, you just took the marker off.
@soloboardgaming
@soloboardgaming 3 жыл бұрын
Always a great pleasure to see you here, thanks hugely for taking a look! Yes I did forget that moving into cover for those additional units required commands and I was so annoyed when I discovered it. The HMG Rally I mistakenly checked the 'Leader' column which was Auto, my bad. However, I'm hoping to keep up the main drive and excitement of the game for those who find it overly complex. Some of these things I will correct in the next video where it doesn't distract from the game. Grateful for your feedback, thank you 👍

@@blackmoreproductions3259 Hi Mark, great question. Yes, they are typically found on Woods terrain cards (for instance). It gives a further -1 to plunging fire. That is, mortar and artillery fire into the card. It shows the increased effect of plunging fire bursting in the trees and showering the area with tree shards. It does NOT affect any other type of fire from squad weapons (mg's and rifles for instance). I hope that helps. Meanwhile thank you very much for watching and for feeding back with a question, excellent! 😊👍

@@mx5007 There's no limit to the number of steps under a cover marker. However, the max steps on a single card is 16 steps. And having a ton of steps under a single cover marker can also be detrimental when taking fire. I hope that's answered your question ok :) Thanks for commenting! 👍

Hi! Thank you for the excellent playthrough. I have a question: at 13:33, you put the newly found cover marker on top of all the remaining units in the card. Shouldn't you put the cover marker only on the single unit who performed the action "Attempt to seek cover"? Thank you again from a new subscriber!

Hi there, thanks for your feedback and for your Sub which really appreciate! And yes sir, you're absolutely correct, it should have been on the single unit only! Thinking back, I may have made this error a couple of times in this series. I hope it doesn't put you off. I do tend to concentrate on the 'feel' of a game and sometimes I forget something. I depend on people like you to point things out for me so I (hopefully) remember in future :) Again, thanks for looking in and for your comments :)
