Wait...the channel that makes the best battle reports for games I don't play is going to start making battle reports for games I will be playing? Sign me up!

[@colinlangford1294]

Didnt watch the video yet but imma take your word as bond and sub n like prior to watching lmao

[@VicodinElmo]

Looks like they’ve decided not to continue with them. They did one but haven’t seen anything since

[@dwarrenmsp]

@@VicodinElmo I can't say I blame them. My opinion on Shatterpoint has cooled considerably since I made that comment and played the game several times.

[@oakwolf5161]

Very nice synthesis of the rules, it really helps get the flow of the game, which a procedural "by the rule" overview typically doesn't.

[@Pazzo1292]

Great video, really informative and helpful for those interested in the starter set!

[@fireflyzer0177]

Really excited to see you guys covering Shatterpoint. Hope this becomes part of your rotation and you continue to pump out more Shatterpoint content.

[@Thoth_7]

I'm super stoked for Shatterpoint, and knowing that one of the best skirmish game channels is looking at doing content for it is very exciting!

[@eddieharr]

This video was AMAZING! So well done.

[@chriscatron1928]

This is the best how to play video on this game that I have come across. I hope you guys continue to add more demonstrations on how to play using different expansions packs.

[@GlassHalfDead]

Fire, lads. Fire.

[@todlambe]

Can't wait to see a full BR. Rules look interesting and we'll explained. Thanks for doing this!

[@Jezter804]

SO excited for this game. Was a pleasant surprise to see ya'll made a video on it!

[@mad1739]

This was a great mix between a how toplay and battle report. Not too lengthy as to be information overload but the visual representation of how the game is played was really helpful. Subbed! :)

[@razpenguin]

Rad. This looks much better than Kill Team. Thanks for the run-down.

[@halmartin7417]

Excellent how to. Thanks for the content. Shared to my community page.

[@skirmishmats]

Yesssss! You love to see it! Great vid guys, can’t wait to see more

[@sycho331]

Thanks for the video, saw enough to know this games not for me

[@Hinryu1984]

Thanks for the tutorial… Shatterpoint looks like a good game and the minis look awesome

[@j4bb3rw0ck]

I am so stoked for you guys to play full battles of Shatterpoint! Your videos are always awesome, I can't wait to see what you do with some SW skirmishes. :)

[@olekvonguttner216]

Love the rules breakdown! Hope to see more Shatterpoint!

[@FairieSword]

Great tutorial, I need to finish painting up the squads I have and try this out!

[@testingreadaboutit]

Pretty good vid. It may be valuable to "test" your videos on experienced boardgame people who have never played the game, just to smooth off the edges. Overall, I was impressed with the quality of the production, tho! Just a few times stuff seemed unintuitive, like you wounding a unit before telling us how wounding happens. Also, one person uses the word stamina to determine wounding and the other says durability. Pretty confusing for one of the most essential mechanics. That's one of the few things I'll have to look in the rulebook for tho, so overall: A WIN! Thanks!

[@daniellogue8365]

Best edited KT videos, can't wait for more Shatterpoint!

[@iansharmacook]

Great explanation with worked examples, very professional video, I have subscribed!

[@NerdsIAB]

Super excited to see more from this been my most hyped upcoming games in years.

[@davehughes917]

That was fantastic! Really hyped for Shatterpoint now!

Morty and birdperson are fantastic at learn to plays. Hope Rick does the next episode with summer

[@TheWillz02]

Great video! I'll be playing this game today!

[@DanaHowl]

YESSSSSSSSSSS LETS GOOOOOOO

[@theehlegast5981]

Great video, really nice step by step explanation.

[@troyreeves8775]

Great job guys!

[@thomasmchugh2151]

27:12 - Since Ahsoka had a strain token, would she have taken 3 damage when she activated her reactive ability here or is that not how strained works?

[@darthaelris2059]

First time subscriber here. Looking forward to starting this game. Just got the core set in yesterday. Cool Channel, curious which mountain you're next to? Mine's Pikes Peak.

[@chsovi7164]

I played this with my friends the other day and kalani is stupid OP

[@thediminutivesoldier]

This was very well done!

[@Dillpickle4U]

Nice, yall sold me on this game. 😅

[@TzarkahnYT]

Thanks for the video ❤

[@TravDadGamer]

good introduction to the game. Subscribed!

[@swancman]

Great video, but I did have to go back to figure out what the critical rolls did and it makes sense now.

[@CatCraine]

Very well done video tutorial. Maybe you can get Glass Half Dead on for a rematch, eh.

[@JJJJ58283]

Great tutorial!

[@eastoforion]

Very very cool!

[@kyleguy8985]

Let's go!

[@SarimRune]

8:30 - Why exactly did Bo Katan get to take her jump action without using one of her 2 actions? From MCP I think that this is because it's a "superpower" but what is this called in Shatterpoint?

[@DannyEastes]

If you pause and look at her card at 7:29, you can see she has an active ability called Jetpack, which lets her spend a force point to perform a jump. This doesn't count as a normal action so she can still move and shoot etc.

[@Chatterpoint777]

Isn’t the force spent to use the jump an action which is part of your two actions? How did you focus and attack ?

[@samt9387]

Great vid 👍

[@Newt211]

Wow, that looks like actual metal. I like it, what paint was used?

[@floppyori3262]

Can you guys cover legion

[@jasonprince8016]

What is the reddish paint you used for the stone? And any treatments?

[@8bitkefka]

can you mix and match galactic republic and seperatists like you can mix units in marcel crisis?

[@Desertninja173]

Thanks for the great video! But why do you all sound like calmed rick and morty 😂

[@tgfmg007]

What painting kit do you recommend to get started?

[@ohnocreates]

Lets go! legions when :0

[@britishshock]

Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger Badger, Mushroom mushrooms 🍄 😋 😍 👌 😜 🤪 🍄 😋 😍 👌 😜

[@KevinSpecialK]

Not sure if you mentioned, or of I didn't get far enough.. does it come painted ?

[@adriang6259]

Well this looks good. Is it better than Legion?

[@ThexSKUNK]

Do you have to paint the minis?

[@MKroni1]

I do have a question if it's not too much to ask but what is the difference between this game and Star Wars legion?

[@jameswhitbread574]

Legion is a smaller scale with bigger armies

[@egro9820]

one question, we know if this game will also be released in Italian, thanks

[@velimirmagas6476]

Hi! Do the figures come painted or do you need to paint them?

[@MountainsideTabletop]

They come unpainted on sprue (you have to build them)

[@michaelinOZ]

Wait. You can push/pull off buildings?

[@StarFleet_1701]

Can someone tell me the diference between Shatterpoing and Legion?

[@StormDunakin]

Badger, badger, badger

[@davidrodgers6141]

And now they updated cover they need to have the hunker token

[@dwaynemorash]

Why didnt asokas team get to move the syruggle token sunce they had control ?

[@MountainsideTabletop]

Good question! You don't get to move the struggle token in the first turn of the game. Otherwise, you move it every turn.

[@19EightySixINC]

I appreciate the video and you guys did a great job trying to explain the rules but does anyone else think this game looks complicated AF ? it's like games are getting harder and harder to understand. Games used to have 1/2 die and now you have to roll 14 die to see if you've caused damage and then you have to check the card to see what that means and then add might points that take off any courage added. its like WTF, so confusing

[@Uchidan]

"Never going to be in a situation, where you love your minis and you get one shot and can't do anything" Looking HARD at you Star Wars Legion....

[@Daygoth]

Can this game be played without a corset? I dont think mine will fit anymore 😂

[@xCriticalStrikex]

I paused at 7:28 in to write this. You didn't explain range 1 when deploying, it appears to be the short edge of a range tool(?). You don't explain how to make the activation deck (There is a shatterpoint card I assume). I feel like if these simple things are ommitted then what else could be? This video makes me feel like I must watch other videos after I am done here, and I likely will but from another channel. -edit, You mention range 1 at 12:00. -further edit. I stopped watching at 19:25 when you explained wounding because I felt like you had talked about wounds a lot and already done it with Ahsoka but the order of your explaination is really confusing to me. I don't really understand Mauls turn. I don't understand the options of a turn. I don't understand how to play. I have vague concepts but this wasn't comphrehensive enough for me. The video isn't bad but I think the order of the script and how much information you give when introducing mechanisms could be reworked.

[@MBfromNL]

What happened to this game? Did it flop or is it worth looking into?

[@Whopper0311]

Badger badger bager mushroom mushroom MUSHROOM!

[@villnoir]

The play mat looks like skin with moles

[@Opadei]

It would have been helpful, if you would have explained everything you do, so I wouldn't have to guess and spend several minutes why you did that. After all, the title says: "How to Play", not "Battle report". But otherwise it was a great video.

[@Moldrath]

I'm not seeing any reason to play this when Star Wars Legions is already on the market. Great review and instructions in the video though.

[@Stopbeingatooldevin]

Bro chill on the mf ads, jeez

[@paladinpariah325]

I love your channel, and you guys do insanely good content... ... which is why I hope you don't start covering this ridiculously bad game. The rules are so Byzantine they feel like you're doing your taxes while being hit in the head by an accountant. It's also obscenely overpriced. If Perry and Wargames Atlantic are priced at $1 per model, there's no way in hell these guys need to sell you miniatures, that aren't even compatible with their other game, for $20 a model. The more people highlight games like this, the worse gaming gets for the consumer. Also, Clone Wars which is almost 20 years old instead of the Mandalorian? What the hell were they thinking?

[@CatCraine]

I mean, at least Ahsoka and Bo-Katan appear in Mando 😅 But, I totally agree, Star Wars games tend to be way pricier than they need to be.

[@jeditimelords]

not to um actually you but it’s closer to $6-$10 per model. I’ve played the game and it’s pretty fun. It’s definitely going to be my background game. Also come on…. We can’t talk about rules that feel like doing taxes and overpriced minis when this channel has mostly been about GW. they are the kings of overpriced plastic.

[@paladinpariah325]

@@jeditimelords So I was basing that on a website that said the MSRP for the expansions was going to be $60 for four models. Tax and shipping would put that at almost $20 a model. It's actually $50 for four miniatures, which is still an obscene amount of money for what they're asking. GW can be just as bad, and they're about as anti-consumer as a company gets. But that doesn't make what Atomic Mass is doing any better. I honestly wish this channel would cover other games and other miniatures, but they do such a good job even a game as abysmally crafted as Kill Team ends up being really fun to watch them play. I don't even own Kill Team and will never play it again, but that's how good their videos are. Would kill for them to do a Five Parsecs from Home campaign or cover One Page Rules. Much better systems and a lot more fun to play.

[@Handedamagnum]

"I love your channel but you exclusively cover games that are both garbage and actively harming every consumer of the industry" is my fav KZbin comment take of the day 😂

[@robertchmielecki2580]

You have a point. I didn't notice too many (any) moments in this demo when players got to make interesting, non-obvious decisions or faced real conundrums with equally viable options. Maybe I underestimate this choice of damage tracks and taking full advantage of the effects they offer.
