After Action Report: Written by Hauptman Krieger Target for today was mid-distance railroad, goals being to interdict local redeployment by Polish forces to prevent a breakthrough. Gruppe performance overall was lackluster, dense clouds forced our planes to fly low to avoid missing target. This led most pilots to glide more than dive, leading most bombs to miss their mark. However, one pilot, Leutnant Schultz of Staffel 2 Kette 3 conducted himself with vigor, holding himself until near altitude before releasing, thus achieving success with his payload. His Kette Leader reported his success to me, I have since used his example to inspire the rest of the Gruppe to be more daring. If he continues to acquit himself admirably, I recommend he be given his own Kette so that they may learn from his example.

[@ZillaBlitz]

Oh, that's too awesome! Thanks for doing that. Pinning to the top. :)

[@LnLPub]

Nicely done, great AAR follow up.

[@Hedgehobbit]

If it's not too late to get back to the devs, I noticed that they misspelled "PULL-UP" on the Bomb Attack Sequence at 17:21. Also, they should be more consistent with their terminology. On that Bomb Attack card, not all of the sequences specify the die roll type (AA Fire and AA Damage do but Dive doesn't) and that card uses "D6" whereas the weather cards use "1D6". Not a big deal but makes the game seem a bit less polished.

[@ZillaBlitz]

Thanks! I generally only will undo something if it's a rules mistake that's easily fixable. Part of that is related to how much more time it would take if I re-recorded every mistake in judgement or rules. :) The other part is that I'm not super concerned about playing well/winning so much as learning as I play, if that makes sense. I feel like mistakes like that are learnable moments, for both myself and people watching, perhaps. :)

[@Zinmar]

I'm curious about the bomb load for the run. It shows on that card that no bombs are supposed to be on the wing. Not sure if there is something in the rules or text on the card that we don't know about to allow those bombs. Either way I enjoyed the play through and have had this game on pre-order for a bit. Hopefully they get it to the point they are happy with and release soon. After watching the video again I think I understand what is happening with the bomb load. The * symbol is on the 500kg bomb, so it can't be wing mounted. Makes perfect sense to me, could you imagine how that would turn out?

[@ZillaBlitz]

For the bomb thing, it's more that if you put the 500kg bomb under the fuselage, you can't put any other bombs on the wings because you're at the 500kg limit. :) But yeah, you can't put the 500kg bomb on the wing either. :)

[@joelcole161]

Sturzkampfgeschwader ("dive bombing squadron") has GOT to be on a master-class pronunciation test, somewhere - lol. The first syllable is pronounced "sHtu-ehts" (remember to pronounce leading S's as if they were "sh" if they proceed a hard consonant like "t", and go "soft on your German "r's"). The "a" in kampf is soft, "almost" like the vowel sound of the English word "straw". Both the "soft r" and the "soft a" apply in geschwader, as well. And remember to pronounce the "w" in geschwader as if it were your English "v". So phonetically, " sHtu-EHts kAWmpf ge schVawd EH", and the emphasis is on the next-to-last syllable. See? Super easy. (LOL)

[@ZillaBlitz]

Really love the pictures on the cards and the art on the card backs. Seems to flow easy. Hopefully they will add a landing event as well which can be made dependent on the state of the aircraft at the end of the mission. It would round up the mission.

[@ZillaBlitz]

That'd be a nice touch, actually, a landing event at the end. With as you mention a few die roll modifiers due to wounds/aircraft damage/weather.

[@cardboardgeek]

Loved the playthrough. This has just shot to the top of the Games I've seen Zilla play and now really want along with Bitter Harvest and Aces of Valor. I'm also intending to get Stuka Leader for a more squadron based experience but I love the Hunter series and the Ju87 is one of favourite birds of ww2. Please continue the campaign of Schultz, I definitely want to see more. I vote you call your plane Helga, there's a classic comedy called Allo Allo in the UK and the main German female character shares that name and I think it suits a Stuka.

[@Solkills]

Excellent gameplay as usual, this game is certainly one I would consider buying,is it going to available in the UK?. You lost me a bit with the different cards you were using to assess the values of the approach, combat,target etc,hopefully next mission it will come a little clearer. Also no enemy fighters certainly helps the Stuka....

[@ZillaBlitz]

I'm not sure on the UK, but I'd think that Lock 'N Load's games are available there somewhere, right? The next episode doesn't really explain the cards to great detail either, sorry about that. I think I assumed that it was easier to pick up than it likely is. Here's a quick tutorial: There are a number of different type of events in the game. Many of them are called CHECK events. When you come to a CHECK event, you have the option doing one or both of the following: - You can play a card from your hand of Action cards. When you do this, you can use either the AP value in the top right of the card as a +Die Roll Modifier (DRM) OR you can use the special action near the bottom of the card (not the text in yellow, the text above that). - You can also use a stamina to draw an Action Card from the top of the Action deck and add that AP value as a DRM. That help some?

[@richardbarker2928]

@@ZillaBlitz many thanks for the reply, I'll definitely check the availability of the game in the UK. Also I'll have to concentrate a bit harder when you play again. One of the best channels on KZbin in my humble opinion, 😀

[@SoloBattles]

Great video! Really shows how fun and exciting the game can be. I tend not to enjoy Solitaire games because the "challenge" is often simply tough die rolls. Luck not skill. A great way to mitigate this is to make most successes automatic IF you plan and play smart. This makes those occasional die rolls that could fail, very tense and exciting. This game does that! When I play Nemo's War, I call all die rolls (2d6) a 7, which makes most rolls automatic IF you get your mods right or select safer options. If a seven isn't good enough, then you have to roll. That gets very tense! So, you can always call an automatic seven, unless you need more, then you have to roll. Sure, bad luck happens, but this is a game, and to have all your time invested just to lose on a routine check is kind of anti-climactic. I got Real Life for that! 🤪

[@ZillaBlitz]

Oh, that's an interesting mechanic in Nemo. I have to get that game to the table soon. :) But yes, that's one thing that I think is clear from this game, that you want to stack the odds in your favor to make things like the pull up automatic. You won't last long if every pull up is a 1/6 chance of crashing. :)

[@SoloBattles]

@@ZillaBlitz My point exactly! If you're making numerous rolls per turn, any chance of failure is too much when failure any failure is catastrophic.

[@ZillaBlitz]

Well, to be fair, most of the attack rolls impact your chances of hitting the target, but you're balancing that with that final pull up. The pull up is the one catastrophic part. Although, the AA fire can create issues as well, especially if it hits your plane. :)

[@coyi51]

A lot going on in mission 1, but it looks comfortable to play. I would suspect a lot more difficult once you get to the eastern front. Looking forward to another play through.

Thanks, Devin, glad you liked it! This game is so much fun. :) And yes, we were so lucky on that initial AP hand. It made for plenty of good options in the attack run, but I was a touch nervous about that pull up there. A 1/6 chance of a crash doesn't seem like a viable long-life strategy in this game. :) Anyway, Mission 2 awaits! :)

[@Steelwhip2001]

@@ZillaBlitz well.. remember that if you fail the Pull-up roll it is then a roll on the Crash table which is a D12...I just happened to pull a 1 on that which is crash and instant death-all the other results are further checks to see what happens-emergency landing..a crash check to see if you die...make it back to base ok...so failing that Pull-up roll doesn't mean you are going to instantly die...but it will make your life interesting =)

[@nordicmaelstrom4714]

I have a question Zilla. What are Stuart tanks doing in Poland in 1939? How can you put bombs on the wings when it says no bombs on the wings? Game seems interesting but a lot of card drawing. I think id like this a bit better if it was a dice mechanic and you are rolling on charts.

[@ZillaBlitz]

The "Railroad" target is used for the whole game, so the card could come up in Russia, Crete, North Africa, etc., anywhere there is a railroad target. So I think the expectation is that it represents any old railroad, and the image doesn't matter except for flavor. The "*no bombs on the wings" has an asterisk before it, which means that it only applies if you selected the 500kg bomb for under the fuselage. It's easy to get when you play, but on the video it might look odd because the bomb counter covers up the "500kg*". :)

Yes, all things considered I think we'll take this for a first mission. 6 VP and a destroyed railroad is a great start. And yep, I think he'll learn from his mistakes. The diving runs are actually a fun little mini-puzzle, where you're trying to think about how to use the cards you have to get the best odds for success.

[@davet010]

Nice looking game Zilla, but can I ask why use cards for the D6 rolls etc? Is the spread of numbers in the deck you use not the same as that of a D6 ? Just seems a bit fiddly for no good reason otherwise.

[@SoloBattles]

It seems the cards fill multiple functions, one of which is to generate random numbers. This allows the deck to be cycled through and play differently each time. The same way as AH's Up Front game. I don't have the game, Zilla can confirm this for me.

[@ZillaBlitz]

Yes, the Flight Deck cards are used for the Approach and Return to Base segments, so you're using them for more than just die rolls. I'd expect that since there are 37 cards in the deck and one of them is a reshuffle card, that the distribution is equal. I'm not sure of the design decision, maybe to cut down on the need to roll? I suppose you could use a real die if you want. Not sure if there would be any other implications to gameplay... Well, I guess that you'd be less likely to get a reshuffle card and therefore once you pulled a particular event card it would be less likely to show up in the same mission.

[@SoloBattles]

@@ZillaBlitz The other advantage to cards over dice is that you tend to get a wider spread. While you can't keep rolling sixes, you also can't keep rolling ones. At least in general.

[@ZillaBlitz]

To be fair, I'm not sure I have a preference one way or the other. I'm fine with dice and fine with cards. I think. I've not really thought about it that much. I do think there needs to be thought given to recycling the deck in a way that doesn't make the deck predictable. I love By Stealth and Sea, but the recycling card doubles as a 12, the worst roll. So when you get late in the deck and that card hasn't come up, you can pretty much know that you're going to get wasted by that card at any moment. It's a small thing, but nice to avoid via design. I do like cards for recording video, though, because with dice I like to record the dice tower camera. It's faster for me to just slide a card in front of the camera, at least on the editing end of things.
