How To Play KILL TEAM 2! (Part 2)

[@buddytrevino8259]

Thanks for the great overview! I am new and learning little by little. We have been layering on rules each game we play and it has helped! This next game coming up we will use Strategic ploys and command points. Some of the things I have learned that might help others are: Shock Assault is a second fight action which means the charged opponent also gets to fight in that action both times.

Very calm and easy overview of the basic rules! I'll be playing this soon for the first time and while I've read things, this video really helped me wrap my head around it. I haven't played 40k in maybe 10 years! Wish me luck with my Sisters Sororitas, they finally have plastic models! Yay!

[@StrategicAdvantage]

Good luck with your nuns+guns!! Glad the video helped!

[@anderspollentvedt2294]

Me and my friend are trying to get into kill team, you guys are the only ones we’ve understood. Thank you for this amazing video, it helped us a lot

[@StrategicAdvantage]

Thanks! Glad it was helpful!!!

[@theanimaster]

For beginners: I think it should be mentioned the only way to get into the fight phase is if you charge, because you cannot get into engagement range of another operative with a move or dash. That’s what the charge action is for. I wish they empathize this more in the rules.

[@robertsymons360]

That was fantastic. I'm introducing a friend to the game, and that was a nice, simple, and non-intimidating walkthrough.

[@StrategicAdvantage]

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback!

[@perreyalsdam7994]

Great walk-through of the rules. Looking forward to the next one. I have a friend coming over for a game this weekend, and I will send him the link to Your videos.

[@StrategicAdvantage]

Great! Our Line of Sight video will be out by then so your friend will have one more video to watch 😬🤘🏻

Thanks for the guide. Trying to get my son interested in the game and it helps if I know how to play it ;-)

[@StrategicAdvantage]

Haha! Must learn before you can teach! Glad our guide is helpful! 🤘🏻

[@MD-wm1jg]

Really good explanation

[@StrategicAdvantage]

We’re glad it helped!

[@veekleek7535]

Brilliant guide, thanks a lot.

[@StrategicAdvantage]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@BB-pn2qv]

Love it, but I wish there was better use of graphics when showing these rule functions.

[@StrategicAdvantage]

Oh there will be, this series is effectively more than just a "two parter" as these two videos are more broad stroke overview videos, with more to come that get into a lot more detail with more diagrams and examples. Had we gone into that level of depth in this video it would have been over an hour long!!! Stay tuned for the detailed examples you're looking for in the coming weeks :)

I didn't realize deployment is defender wholly followed by attacker. Seems like a pretty big change from what kill team/40k players are used to. Does it seem to make a big impact to gameplay (eg. Are defenders at a significant disadvantage since attackers get to deploy with full information)?

[@StrategicAdvantage]

We've had a big think about this exact point. It seems this edition favors asymmetric boards for this very reason. In the rulebook they hint that you may want to consider asymmetric board setups but we think this is very relevant. As the defender you want your decision for drop zone to be relevant--its the only advantage you can leverage given the disadvantage you'll have in having to deploy all at once. In the end what it boils down to though is the defender will almost always deploy in cover with conceal orders so they cannot be shot and spend the first Turning Point moving into favorable positions and taking back points.

[@AF-kj2zl]

Sounds good!

[@StrategicAdvantage]

Thanks!

[@adrielgarcia1185]

so when assigning equipment, can you assign the same equipment to multiple models, paying the EP cost, for example if i wanted to give photon grenades to three pathfinder units, which cost 2 EP each totaling 6 EP, could i do this? cause that's what I got when you said that some equipment can only be used once. meaning that the others could be used multiple times?

[@StrategicAdvantage]

You got it! Unless indicated as such you can duplicate equipment across different operatives

[@timothysmith7364]

Thank you!

[@StrategicAdvantage]

You’re very welcome 👍🏻

[@rodento3220]

Does Bolter Discipline work for Overwatch?

[@StrategicAdvantage]

Overwatch is it’s own thing outside of activation, so it doesn’t interact with BD at all. You aren’t taking a “shoot” action, but the “overwatch” action.

[@bradp6452]

I think the weird zone between 1 and 2 inches for heavy terrain where you can be shot but cannot shoot is odd.

[@StrategicAdvantage]

Yes you are right. There is a small band where you gain none of the benefits so positioning is key! In our experience it hasn’t come up yet where they band is relevant as long as you’re aware of it and choose your moves deliberately

[@ZodiusXx]

8:22 just a heads up guys but you can move within engagement range, provided you don't finish within engagement range, of an enemy model that is currently engaged with another one of your models

[@StrategicAdvantage]

Yes excellent point, we neglected to include that! Good on you for picking up on that! Thanks 👍🏻

[@alexecon4330]

Nice effort. But I'm scratching my head about your statements on Line of Sight. You say the book explains it well (I disagree), and that it is "honestly quite simple once you wrap your head around it." Just note that if you have to wrap your head around it, it's ... not simple. And if it's so simple, why might it be a sticking point for a lot of players?

[@StrategicAdvantage]

That's fair. For what it's worth, we did learn it completely from the book and we present an entire separate video with explanations/examples to help others learn it. Our intent by the phrase "simple once you wrap your head around it" means that after you put in some work to understand the logic and the sequence, it's quite straightforward in application. I hope that explains our meaning!

[@mikeg9516]

Can you do the same action more than once

[@StrategicAdvantage]

No, unless there is a specific rule or ploy that explicitly says you can the only action you can repeat is “Pass”

[@maximem.ste-marie3578]

why change the words " 2 inches" for " circle", etc ? seems confusing

[@StrategicAdvantage]

Our best thought was to simplify rules writing…but it can be clunky at times. For what it’s worth after a couple games it just becomes second nature

[@mattmmb]

When do you roll for (Sv)?

[@StrategicAdvantage]

In response to a ranged attack only. In melee it’s opposed attacks with parries :)

[@stonehorn4641]

Great video. The only thing I would ask is a more in depth video on obscuring terrain, because the book is absolute shit at it (honestly, whoever wrote the rules should be fired, I've never read a book that confuses fairly simple rules with bad writing as much as this one. 1st Edition AD&D

[@StrategicAdvantage]

The rules are honestly a LOT better than the previous edition but are not without their rough spots for sure. We actually already released a video dedicated to line of sight (including obscuring) check out our channel page for our recent video releases!

[@richardokeeffe8375]

Agreed! I read health authority legislation in my day job and couldn’t work it out

[@paultrasband]

These rules really suck. I want to like kill team and want to get into it, but putting things in terms of circle and triangle etc. just makes it not worth the effort to learn.

[@StrategicAdvantage]

I wouldn't get too hung up on the measurement shapes/colors. It is a weird decision they went with largely to make their rules writing easier (maybe?), but easy enough to convert into inches and ignore if you choose to. The rest of the game is a massive step forward for skirmish size tabletop wargaming, and having played many systems out there we really prefer this new edition to anything else we've come across. I'd recommend giving an honest try and not let the shapes overshadow all the positive there is in this edition!

[@paultrasband]

@@StrategicAdvantage I appreciate the positive vibes. It DOES seem easy. Just awkwardly cumbersome. I can’t imagine saying “how many circles tall is that obstacle.”

[@StrategicAdvantage]

What we do before a game is measure the terrain and determine ahead of time. Then all I have dedicated to memory is “-4 to go up, -2 to go down” for climbing and dropping. It’s a habit I (Emmanuel) got into with pre-game terrain discussion and SW Legion, and it helps the flow of the game tremendously

[@theanimaster]

Also emphasize that if you can’t “see” an operative, you can’t shoot it - so you can’t shoot through solid walls. There has to be a break in the wall or a window. Though that seems obvious, there are plenty “as written” people who would love to exploit this.

[@StrategicAdvantage]

You’re absolutely right. We cover this exactly in the follow up video released last week dedicated to Line of Sight!

[@theanimaster]

On the topic of overwatch, the active engage token was shown - the graphic should really have indicated the already-activated (grey) engage token for clarity - as y’all mentioned here, you can only overwatch if all of your models have already been activated.

[@StrategicAdvantage]

Hah! Good pick up. We kept the orange just for consistency sake but you are correct technically should be grey as it’s after you have no more models to activate. The fact that you’re picking up this subtlety means you have a good grasp of the rules, good on ya!

[@theanimaster]

@@StrategicAdvantage cheers… I _thought_ I did… but when playing the game, a couple things crept up and I had to turn to channels like this for clarification. Many thanks to you for producing these videos because they DO help a ton!

[@StrategicAdvantage]

Thanks! Really happy to hear we helped!
