Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Board Game Solo Campaign 1 "Castle" Act 1 "Homecoming"

I begin my solo playthrough of the Castle Campaign.
I may make a few mistakes, but I will get better each time I play. I believe in one battle, I may cast a spell twice in the same round. . . Oops.

Thanks Derek for the video. Just backed the next set of expansions. Great game.

@MontePlaysGames you are welcome. I am excited for next year, I also am a bit greedy, and I hope they announce more. I do know they are going to do a miniatures skirmish game as well.

good video, hope you continue the campaign.😄 A suggestion for future episodes, maybe a top down camera view of the battle field to get a better feel of the state of the battle

[@derekvash]

I will continue, I really want to learn this game well. I will try and do the battles better as well.

No way cards can move diagonally. Cardinal directions means up,down,left,right

[@derekvash]

I looked at the rulebook before doing that. It only uses cardinal direction for determining adjacentcy. On the section for movement, it just states, "may as many spaces up to their movement total." It seems weird, but I will be reviewing before my next game because if you can move diagonally, then it feels like there is no space on the battlefield that any unit can't just reach in one turn.

You prompted me to hunt down an answer from the designers. You were correct, and I will address this at the start of my next video. It was stated, "I confirm you can only move top, down, right, or left. And only spaces on these axes are considered adjacent - so with ground and flying, you can only attack units on top, down, right, or left. At least if we talk about a standard battle board without battlefield extension." So, it sounds like I will need to check the battlefield expansion as it may change combat. Thanks for helping me keep honest. it's too easy to take shortcuts in solo play!
