Fire & Stone: Siege of Vienna 1683 - Learn While Playing!

[@Skycroft1000]

Wow, I'm impressed. I'm usually really not a fan of these sorts of wargames, but this one actually got me intrigued. Probably not enough to get it, but enough that I want to try it out. Funnily enough, it actually reminds me more of Watergate than a traditional wargame.

Jon is the best, that is all. Need to learn a game? Hope he covers it.

[@Islacrusez]

100%

[@spaztekwarrior]

Indeed :) Rodney also very good.

[@ThinkYourHealth]

Great play through. Well explained. Ordered the game because of your play through.

[@shatnershairpiece]

Watergate is our favorite 2 player game, so this looks like a good step up.

[@spr5x4]

Love the two player only videos! Keep ‘‘em coming!

[@Islacrusez]

This game looks great. The asymmetry serves it well as a head to head 2-player game. Another one that you’ve added to my acquisition list. 😅❤️

[@jejoma122]

Wonderful effort here, Jon.

[@beorik]

Very excited you decided to do a playthrough of this one Jon, thanks! Small slip of the tongue at 1:15 where you say the year as 1863 rather than 1683 : )

[@GettingGames]

Dang, I was trying so hard not to do that! Glad you enjoyed this :)

[@ianlight5158]

Love it! Thanks for covering this Jon! I hope you cover more games like this in the future.

[@andrzejdorywalski565]

Really interested in this one. Thanks For great video as always!

[@heyenogss1059]

So good tutorial. Thank you

[@peterbakandersen2352]

For sure gonna get this game after watching your play through. But I'm courious about that dice tray. It looks amazing. Link please!!!

[@GettingGames]

The dice tray is amazing, and it was a gift from the person who made it. Unfortunately, they don't sell them.

[@peterbakandersen2352]

@@GettingGames That's a shame

[@andrewwalsh531]

was really invested in this one & wondering if you played it out to the end? Need to know which side won!? Either way, more war game coverage please! :) :)

[@GettingGames]

I didn't, sorry about that. I suspect it wasn't going to pan out well for the Habsburgs though :P

[@Ogrecrusher]

Around 28:00 you talk about recalling discarded troops, but say we don't have any yet. Surely the Ottomans are down 3 so far? Edit: Ah there's a difference between those and ones that need refreshing.

[@Zacht1980]

13:18 - I hate it when I get hit right in the troop deck.

[@GettingGames]

🤣

[@JJ_TheGreat]

Hmm… Interesting war-like game. Unfortunately, to me, it seems like the actions would be so scripted. For example, Player A attacks Player B’s fortificaions and removes them; in response, Player B puts up more fortifications; (even if it is only one more); then Player A attacks the fortifications again, etc. You can see this sort of play around 35:35-37:02 in this video.

[@BestCheckedIn]

It's lower efficiency to make fortifications than remove them. Need two actions to remake 2. Only need one mine to blow it up and the structural forts die forever

[@redantec]

During the first battle does your fortification not impact the other player forcing them to pull back troops from the front lines?

[@GettingGames]

Unfortunately, it's been too long since I played this game to remember the rules enough to answer your question. Sorry about that!

[@timoseppa9124]

I cannot get this video to work on my iPhone. ("An error occurred. Please try again later...") No idea why. I have retried it at different times.

[@GettingGames]

Very strange, hopefully that sorts itself out for you.

[@RulebooksForYou]

Hope the rulebook wasn't too difficult to parse ;)

[@GettingGames]

Nope, it was straightforward and I had no issues with it :)

[@RulebooksForYou]

@@GettingGames So glad to hear :)
