Harsh Rules: Learn to Play - Storms of Steel - Part 4

[@IosifStalin2]

When compared to other wargame teachers, this guy is easier, clearer, lucid-er and harsher.

Your videos are great! The CoH series is my favorite. I played these videos over and over again. I was ready to buy the game, but my wife help up the funding. After playing your videos over and over she cried, "Enough! Go ahead and buy the game!" Thank you my friend for the great instructional videos!

Love all these great rules explanation videos bud! Thank you! What I would really like to see are some playthroughs of the first few missions. Any plans for that?

I'm a bit of a war game novice but we played the 1st 2 scenarios of CoH AtB and I'm now learning this new stuff (group actions) for the upcoming scenarios. You said "make group rallies whenever possible" because it only costs 5 AP total, instead of 5 AP for individual units. I don't understand how that is necessarily beneficial. Yes, you're only spending 5 AP for the group. But if you activate both units individually, they BOTH get a certain number of AP individually, therefore they'd both be separately spending 5 AP out of their overall total. The only benefit I see is that you could burn 2 CAPs total for both units in a group rally, rather than burn 2 + 2 = 4 CAPs by not grouping. In addition, it seems to me that if both sides have the same number of units on the board, the more I do group actions, the better chance my opponent (who is not doing group actions) will eventually have a bunch of fresh units to keep on doing things in the conflict while my entire army is all spent. I must not be seeing things correctly. Can you clarify these points please?

11:22 to keep the unit CONCEALED I guess? Not revealed?

[@chameleonchameleon538]

Sorry but how can a unit be hidden if it is on the board. what i mean is player 2 i can see the units he places please explain this

Russian artillery is less accurate now in Storms of Steel (3rd edition). Does this apply now to Awakening the Bear ?

[@uweeickert8061]

It should be the same Roger. I believe that the 3rd Ed AtB rules also have the less accurate Soviet artillery.

[@rogerpaul8918]

@@uweeickert8061 Thanks for reply. 2 days later I was able to view 3rd edition Awakening the Bear rules & the less accurate Russian artillery drift is there. On another note, we are attempting to convert some 2 player missions into solo. Would you have any suggestions on lets say Storms of Steel mission 1,The Courier's Satchel (human being Soviets)...What could the German Counter actions & Mission orders be ?
