Star Wars Rebellion #1 - Let Battle Commence

[@Hellwinter]

"My Lord, during the construction of the Death Star we discovered a fatal flaw. A vulnerability that would allow a single torpedo to destroy the whole construct. The Engineers have come up with a revolutionary solution to this issue and have started the construction of a second Death Star. They assured me, no single torpedo would be able to destroy both of them."

I’m like 66

[@benrodir2]

So Ben has played so many videogames he now needs an electronic IV to survive in the real world now? Lol

[@just_an_account_3]

Exactly what I thought ahaha

[@aBendorff]

That is also why he is calling drawing random cards an AI.

[@SoundsOfTheWildYT]

At a fundamental level, a random selection from a group of predetermined actions is AI

[@Reshig]

laughed so hard, thanks mate

[@alex31721able]

It is amazing how much Lewis simutaniously knows about star wars and doesn't know

[@splurgabonnnephlhogg3000]

BrO'Neill He know the first half of a lot of facts

[@coreylemon]

He has approximate knowledge of many things.

[@vegancam]

Lewis's know-ledge of Star Wars is fucking cancer.

[@samuelanderson7992]

Ooh edgy kid calling something cancer.

[@avidwriter2882]

There are many many more important things that fucking SW knowledge. In fact 99% of everything else is more important than your SHIT movies

[@TheMightyEpicspencer]

STAR WARS, BABY!

[@coreylemon]

Loved the 10 minute intro where you discussed lore rather than diving straight in. Some of us arent as well versed in the importance of some of the worlds, so the crash course refresher is appreciated.

[@-lijosu-]

Misread as "trash course"

[@rowlandlabossiere6363]

Eh, y'know, with some of Lewis' Star Wars facts, could kinda be a trash course

[@NailsToe]

Man, Ben's Star Wars knowledge is so amazing, I could listen to Ben talk Star Wars all day, baby

[@elliotkouame3849]

He was mispronouncing "Rieekan ".

[@krisvenema]

I think this play through is why I finally purchased, after so many years. Lewis’ questions kept things from just being inside jokes for those that don’t as much about the small details. And the role playing was hilarious. “And they were in Star Wars?” made me laugh so hard.

[@Geek-x]

I can just imagine Vader tweeting ‘IM ON TATOOINE LOOKING FOR THE REBELS!’ and the rebels just reply ‘Wrong Planet Shitlord!’

[@MerlinCGBroadway]

What is the internal temperature of a taun taun? Luke warm.

[@HOMSDValentman]

ETSMalanic you sir make are amazing

[@holy_crusaderoftheholyland4713]

XD

[@nobodynowhere21]

27:55 The mission fails. From the Rules Reference: "If the player attempting the mission obtains more successes than his opponent, the mission succeeds; proceed to step 6. Otherwise, the mission fails, and the ability on the card is not performed." In other words, since the number of successes are equal, the player attempting the mission did not obtain "more" successes than his opponent (the AI), and the mission is failed. But of course they were correct to add the additional 2 dice d/t the presence of Rebel units, it just wasn't enough this time.

[@kuldeep4932]

+Games Night At 28:04 you actually don't win on a tie on an attempt that is opposed. You only win if you have more successes than the opposition! Mon Calamari should have stayed neutral there! :)

[@SquallKaulder]

Dunno if Ben's lost weight but he's looking good!

[@bumfree]

Maggotflesh3 he has groomed his beard

[@gimli3370]

it's because he's wearing the Warhammer shirt

[@Geshiko-GuP]

burn

[@hikingworm1028]

10:00 The Alliance obtained their ships through a few cool ways. Some were leftover ships from the Clone Wars era, some were stolen, and some were salvaged. Others were sent to them by Rebel sympathizing worlds. My favorite story would have to be when Alderaan sent three hammerhead corvettes to the Rebel Alliance through a staged invasion. In order to avoid openly supporting the Rebellion, the ships were sent on a mission and the rebels "took over" in a false boarding party so that they could simply take control and leave.

[@aarondaines6067]

In Britain, an Empire it was called Supremacy, and in America, an independent Colony, it's called Rebellion. Well played Lucas Films advertising department, well played.

[@tomasmayo1141]

I have played this why some of my friends who love Star Wars and we all loved it. For some reason it has massive replayability and we have a great laugh every time we play! Great to see you playing games you enjoy

[@statedsquire7746]

Tomas Mayo And I'm one of those friends :) (and I can only agree with what Tom said - great to see you playing games you both enjoy)

[@theodorebrook-ashmore5893]

I imagine that the mon calamari secret meeting went like "The emperor is a bit of dick, join us. He's standing right behind me isnt he?'"

[@ShadowGirl-]

Damn hollywood bull... it was Kyle Katarn who stole the death star plans. As a mercenary, he regularly worked for the Rebel Alliance, where he was secretly dispatched by Mon Mothma on missions deemed too dangerous or sensitive for actual Rebel operatives. His first game Dark Forces begins shortly before the events of the film A New Hope, with Katarn single-handedly infiltrating an Imperial facility on the planet Danuta to retrieve the plans for the first Death Star. The plans would eventually be forwarded to Princess Leia, leading to the destruction of the Death Star.

[@kuldeep4932]

+Games Night And again at 35:00 guys, that Infiltration actually failed even with using R2 to make one of the imperial dies blank, because you guys tied on the successes at 1, and the rule book states "If the player attempting the mission rolls more successes than his opponent, the mission succeeds and he performs the "if successful" ability on the card. If he rolls equal to or fewer successes than his opponent, the mission fails and he does not perform the ability on the card"

[@MvD-T]

If Lewis understands the game after this co-op playthrough, it would be fun to see them actually go up against each other if they were to play the videogame version on Lewis and Ben Save the World.

[@drewder1789]

I’m 3 years late on this and I’ve never watched this channel, but this is a really well made video

[@Lone_GamerUK]

Yep error and 28m a tie score meant the mission failed. rules state they have to win role if contested. Unless solo AI rules change that. Loved the video's and chat, would like to see more of this game from them.

[@elliotkouame3849]

Love this game. I like that you're teaching people about SW, too.

[@Snxcc_]

I would put the base on tatooine cause vader would never go there. He hates sand

[@Nothing-1w3]

It's course rough and irritating

[@lavenderwalrus9875]

good point but that is in fact the exact planet than in this video vader did decide to go check 37:20 so if you were in charge of the rebels I am afraid it would have been a rather quick game :P

[@ddmalarkey]

Holy crap I can't believe this was three years ago. Time for a re-watch!

[@ThatChemistOld]

You guys should definitely make a shirt that says "Roll for the Empire!"

[@ItsDeadlock]

15:06 actually start playing.

[@Hamatabo]

"its not a fist mission its an eye mission, so he's got two eyes and we've got... two eyes" - lewis 2017

[@adammullarkey4996]

30:30 "Death Stars! Get yer Death Stars here! Buy one get one free!"

[@foreng3095]

It would be interesting to see them play Empire at War Campaign Versus

[@johnyshadow]

This absolutely needs to happen. I love that game, especially the space battles.

[@raVenwomBat]

When attempting a mission, if the result a tie, the mission fails.

[@rossemslie9200]

Please play this again!

[@JediOfDantooine]

As I said in the xwing tournament video, more more more of this!!!

[@OnboardG1]

I love the classic EU novel covers used for the cards.

[@BalthorYT]

This is fucking getting me hooked! I don't know how you guys do it, but you always manage! Can't wait for more

[@AlecazamAlecazam]

Imagine putting your open palm vertically on Lewis' face and slowly squeezing his eyebrows down to his mouth. That's how Ben looks.

[@jackstanford7038]

*warning I'm about to nerd out about Star Wars* The Death star was constructed above Geonisis, after its construction was completed, it fired at Geonosis, killing every Geonosian exempt for the queen who created a small army of warriors. But Darth Vader was sent by Palatine to kill her and her minions. Dantooine is from the Old Republic game, I'm not sure exactly what happens there but I do know that Darth Revan visited the planet several times throughout the game.

[@Trikzilla]

The expansion came out today. HYYYYYYPPPPEEEEE!!!!!

[@wofgal1993]

Squiddy rights!! My word, what a wonderful video! Notes for Lewis, Ben and the Yogscast are now at my Yogs Posts Tumblr

[@Zanakon]

30:27 - Lewis channeling the emperor.

[@MaliciousMallard]

29:58 "Building a Sex Star". BEST. EMPIRE. EVER.

[@k1ny066]

Please more of this!

[@deutschamerikaner]

When he said “Karelia is like Detroit” I thought he meant it was glassed like Mandalor

[@DiamondzFinder_]

"If you haven't seen Star Wars, this probably already makes no sense"...... If you haven't seen Star Wars, HOW?!?!?!?!

[@nolategame6367]

Tommy Dancer I still haven’t. Wel.... I did, and I slept. (More exactly, I got so fucking bored that I forgot about them)

[@jackreid6412]

Loving the effort you guys are doing for this :)

[@holydoge320]

Ben and Lewis look like brothers

[@chickenmontoya8113]

Can you guys pllleeeassseee play A Game of Thrones: Board Game Second Edition? It's so good, you can play 3-6 players and the political back door deals and betrayals are sooo real. And I think it would be hilarious with you two, and Sjin, Duncan, Trott and Tom

[@Jake007123]

I played the card game a little before and I remember to be incredibly good and funny.

[@Geshiko-GuP]

NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN

[@ethansainsbury9194]

It would be amazing to see some empire at war (it's pretty much a spicier version of the 1998 rebellion) and it's actually a perfect time to start. They finally removed the shitty gamespy integration and now its fully steam supported including steam workshop. Some juicy thrawnage would pop my cherry quick-smart

[@ultrashadowz7396]

Update looks out his window and just looks at the under construction Death Star

[@super_7710]

I've only watched the new one, rogue one and the new episode 1 but I know a lot of the story and all this makes sense since I played Battlefront 2 (the good one).

[@nathanddave2]

Please can you make more of these types of videos. They are very enjoyable to watch.

[@bagussantosoST]

Shiet, ben looks good with those moustache... Looking good #boik

[@daklr2501]

there are so many death stars that this can be called spaceballs

[@jonlocke7112]

I can't stop gushing about this game. Seriously, if you are thinking of picking it up, do it. Bite the bullet. Easily my favorite 2-player game ever made.

[@HeliusSlayer]

I'm 27 and still haven't seen Star Wars but I watched this video all the way through.

[@michaelv.3458]

'Corellia is like Detroit' LOL

[@baconofthedarkside]

> 9 minutes in > tells us to watch star wars if we havent already

[@360H3ADSHOT]

You guys should replay this with the rogue one expansion

[@funngames6847]

Really enjoying your game reviews. Keep up the good work 👍😃

[@dinisnascimento4929]

BOARD GAMES ARE BACK THANK YOU GUYS

[@RoamingAdhocrat]

So here's a thing. The Rebels had no idea how or if the Death Star could be destroyed until they analysed the plans. The solution might not've been Y-Wings/X-Wings doing a Dambusters but a corvette full of explosives doing an Operation Chariot or teams of marines doing a Dieppe. Or coming to terms with the Death Star's invulnerability and deciding to make their own low(er)-tech planet-destroying equivalent (hyperspace ramming, anybody?) to force a stalemate. I like the idea that no-one really knew that X-Wings were any good for more than sweeping up TIE fighters and carrying out small surgical strikes until suddenly one demonstrated it even could blow up a Death Star and immediately the big capital ships were kinda obsolete. Like battleships after Pearl Harbor / Midway.

[@pspublic13]

Lol what...hyperspace ramming was a BS move in the Last Jedi. Just think about it. If this was actually a possible thing, a single X-Wing with a R2 pilot could knock out the Death Star superlaser for months at a time if not longer. Just hyperspace right into the laser emitter. Your rebel fleet stuck between Endor and the Death Star 2 and the entire Imperial fleet? Just hyperspace a X-Wing into each Star Destroyer bridge. For good measure, hyperspace a rebel transport into the Endor shield generator. Probably overkill for both. Destroy the Death Star. Game Over. TLJ just made the rest of Star Wars utterly stupid. No fucking internal consistency at all.

[@kieranitefm1129]

Mygeeto was part of the Muun's planets, if I remember correctly.

[@GamersBar]

I'm not personally into these games at all but sort of love watching the yogs play them , and yeah shooting it top down like this is fine , sort of like you'r pov. have a few gin's next time

[@tedwebster3435]

this is a really cool game i hope they play more than once

[@stevenmansell5595]

Loved this !!

[@salt_factory7566]

17:20 do you have any ash mains to help with the siege? Wait, that's not the right siege.

[@rynfarron]

Naboo is also the Emporer's homeworld. Ole' Sheev.

[@jonathanbrown9249]

I believe, (though I may be wrong) that alderaan bought correllian corvettes for their use and then supplied them to the rebels

[@justsomewombat]

Shit the bed, Ben would totally rock the Kyle Katarn look!

[@angelicahanley2484]

4:06 no they were there the empire just allready defeated them there it was the previous rebel base

[@Modguy99]

Please Star Wars Armada next.

[@lba_e_ross2152]

More! and get the Rise of the Empire Expansion!!!

[@dopedfurry2010]

Ben's r2d2 is so good!

[@kalskirata42]

also, doing a full, real game could be made really interesting, and it'd look good, if both players each had their own copy, and all revealed units were to be moved on both boards, similar to the first version of Battleship, where each of the two players has their own combat "terminal".

[@adamwadsworth7877]

Is it just me or is Ben slowly morphing into Lewis

[@seymour47]

It does seem that way.

[@aarondk62]

Adam Wadsworth he's a younger and slight chubbier version right now

[@StoneyD23]

If y’all were to play the Rebellion mega game where you play Armada for Space battles and Legion for ground battles I think it’d make a great series!

[@lliamdavis6950]

SO MUCH HYPE!!!!!

[@Slaitaar]

FYI a draw on mission dice off means that the defender wins, not the Rebels.

[@pxpc2902]

Can you guys do a Star Wars destiny tournament I loved you vids on it

[@lukefrederiks5906]

We want more Ameebo!!! :D

[@SharpEdgeSoda]

Holy shit someone else that LIKED Rebellion on the PC! I thought I was the only one! It's just a Star Wars Email Checking Simulator and it's wonderful! It dug DEEP into all the EU characters at the time. Some would say TOO DEEP.

[@scotchwhisky6094]

It reminds me of star wars empire at war galactic conquest.

[@coombesyplays5242]

So this is basically a board game version of Star Wars: Empire at War

[@ColonelCactus89]

The CGI on Tarkin was amazing what are you talking about? Only scary thing about it was how far tech has come these days.

[@LaconicBeats]

Shouldn't it have failed if they both rolled 5 doesn't the defense win if it's a draw?

[@Zantesuken11]

Yes. A tie means a win for the opposing faction. Credit to the AI, using the Emperor to block a build on Mon Cal / Utapau at the start is usually the best Imperial move.

[@francobatista687]

In the game, is your hand composed of both objective cards and mission cards? And if so do you discard objective cards in addition to mission cards to have a max of 10 cards?

[@SirGoldalot]

The intro gives me a axis and allies meets OG triology feel, cool, I guess

[@CntrazZombie4]

Half an hour or Turn one... It's a WORLD RECORD!

[@lliamdavis6950]

They should have had Tom be the Empire. He would be perfect!

[@matthewsmith983]

*deathstar blows up* Tom "Ohh Noo"

[@yourboyscully6106]

the death star was built on genosis the it was moved to scariff

[@TheEricBooth]

Do you have a link to the solo rules/flowchart?: Thank you.

[@stes202]

You can download the Solo variant from BGG boardgamegeek.com/filepage/142973/rebellion-solo-variant

[@TheEricBooth]

Thank you.

[@Cpt1Nero]

What spreadsheet are they using?

[@MarkusTheUnnamed]

YAASSSS OMG I FUCKING LOVE THIS BOARD GAME

[@SirSquiddlydoodle]

Glory to the Empire!

[@krzysztofbalamut7622]

Where did you find the solo mission? If possible please send link. Thanks

[@Quincy_Morris]

When there's a tie the mission fails.

[@rawbe176]

Ben and Tom vs Lewis and Pflax

[@random7009877]

This game is pretty cool!

[@Admiral_Mortain]

this game seems like a board game version of the video game Star Wars: Empire at War

[@xeltanni8999]

... waitaminute! This is Diplomacy!

[@rcmini1000]

Yknow what's fun? Listening to star wars background sounds faintly play whilst these guys play.
