GMT’s A World at War part 1

RIP to my laptop 2017-2023.
Sadly the War in the East is off for the time being. But this gives us the opportunity to explore a new game: GMT’s A World at War. I’m completely new to the game, and filming IRL stuff so you’ll have forgive the low quality!
I’ll figure out a better format as soon as I figure out the game!

This game is fantastic to play! Naval battles in the Pacific are real nail biters! You really feel the agony of admirals trying to decide if they should continue a carrier battle with undiscovered combat groups prowling about. I encourage you to keep playing the game.

Good luck the manual is so intimidating that this is still on the shelf.

You have set yourself quite a task. I think the diplomacy/Intel will be the hardest to play solitaire. I have only played 3R and A3R, so I am very interested in this. Good luck.

Not even going to think about trying to play this game. FAR to complicated. You have my respect for trying....

[@thegrogshed]

You’re a crazy man for trying this game but I enjoyed the video. 😀

Best strategic board game and works !

Your end review got to watch these. I’ve never had this level of game on my radar…tell me more.

[@kennethkloby2726]

looking forward to this

And I just realized that I wasn’t a subbed…corrected, now subbed .

I thought the book you have there was the classical Watson's "Secrets or Modern chess strategy". It's the same book format.

It was mostly a junk blocker for the video, but I was working on the Scandinavian and London System so I needed something that I could read when I didn’t feel like looking at my phone. Ironically they’re the only two I ever win with, so I guess it was worth it

​@@seanblambert do you usually play on the internet or just OTB?

[@seanblambert]

@@RudelTaktik0 Oh I only usually play against the computer on Lichess. I ranked in at 400ELO in 5+0 when I decided to start playing in May which was a bit of a wake-up call. Since then I decided to actually learn to play.

[@edmundcowan9131]

I would love to have this game.

[@davidblanton5407]

Get the game, watch the instructions, and find someone who will play with you. You will get the basics rather quickly and folks will play with you over the internet! It's fun!
