Thanks man! Ive been waiting for this video for a very long time. In fact, I bought the base game and played 3 times. Bought the expansions and never played since. Can't wait for next game

[@GetReadyforGameNight]

Thanks for watching! And enjoy the game!

[@licotto]

The new mic some totally fine to me! Thank you SO MUCH for the tutorial!!!

[@GetReadyforGameNight]

Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for watching!

[@Bleiser3]

Thanks! I watched the main game video and your new microphone in this video is much better than in the video of the main game! Keep it up! :)

[@GetReadyforGameNight]

Megumin Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!

[@rationalfaith77]

Nice work! Appreciate the overview. Mic was perfect.

Great video. Keep making videos!

[@GetReadyforGameNight]

Thanks for the encouragement!

[@TEXNORRIS10]

Thanks... Much needed

[@GetReadyforGameNight]

You're very welcome!

[@bibleboardgames5199]

Thank you! It seems like once you know the basics of War of the Ring and want to include more of the source material, here is more!

[@GetReadyforGameNight]

Indeed

[@je_mere]

Long time bro tks for another great video, next serie could be mage knight but not main rules (cuz there's a few videos already) maybe some combat examples with resistances elemental attacks etc

[@GetReadyforGameNight]

Thanks for watching Je Mere! I've never played Mage Knight, and to the best of my knowledge, it's no longer in print. I'll keep my eye open though.

[@je_mere]

@@GetReadyforGameNight maybe right now but its one of those games always get a reprint, the ultimate edition with all expansions still on sale, but if u enjoy a complicated game as war of the ring i bet ull enjoy mage knight but again tks for take the time to make this awesome videos even if take some months between each of them

[@GetReadyforGameNight]

@@je_mere LOL! Months is right! I'd like to keep to a tighter schedule, but my family and work commitments prevent that. I'm pretty much limited to making a video whenever I have a week of vacation. I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching!

[@Magicman1625]

So the elimination for the Dead Men makes no sense to me. You can recruit them while in an adjacent region as Aragorn/Strider but they are eliminated if Aragorn/Strider isn't with them. So wouldn't that immediately eliminate them?

[@GetReadyforGameNight]

Once the dead men are activated, you immediately move Strider/Aragon to Erech to join them. Then if he's separated from them, they are eliminated.

[@mathiaslangford1948]

Love ur vids

[@GetReadyforGameNight]

Thank you very much. They were a labor of love. Nowadays, there are MUCH better people than I doing board game instructional videos. People like Paul Grogan at Gaming Rules! and Monique and Naveen at Before You Play are real pros.

[@shotadevdariani7170]

In case of mustering Dead men. Why don't mountains affect it when Aragorn's in Helm's Deep ?

[@tazzolin2012]

I still don't get how the "reshuffle all ent/eagle/dead men factions cards in the discard pile" works. What good does that do, if they stay in the discard?

[@mate16joo98]

Hello there! First of all, thanks for the great rule summary for this expansion, it really helps a lot! However, there is a tiny mistake in the video in connection with the shadow players “wild die” result. You may only use this icon to change the die to a “draw or play a faction card”, or “recruit a faction” result. So it is not possible to change this die to an “eye” symbol as you mentioned. Keep up the good work, and have a nice day!

[@GetReadyforGameNight]

Thanks for catching that. I do these videos without a script, and in one take, so I'm bound to make mistakes. I appreciate your feedback! Thanks for watching!

[@athanasiuscontramundum4127]

The new mic was great as was the video. A great synopsis for the rules.

[@GetReadyforGameNight]

Thank you.

You’re welcome! And Thanks for Watching!

[@licotto]

By the way, I'm not showing a Klingon caption channel -but maybe that means you didn't make any mistakes!! 😁

[@GetReadyforGameNight]

I have not uploaded any Klingon "corrections" yet. Waiting for you guys to find my goofs! :)

[@danielsepanyan1407]

I'm still confused on how call to battle cards work. Are they immediately in play when a faction is near or at a defending army? Or is it played like how regular combat works when choosing a card to engage in battle with.

[@GetReadyforGameNight]

They are played like regular combat cards. Sorry that wasn't clear.

[@ImperialGit]

If your faction(s) fulfill the 'call to battle' requirements, then at the start of a round of combat the faction's two 'call to battle' cards are added to your hand of event cards, and they can be played as combat cards just as you would any other event card. After a round of combat the call to battle cards that have been played are returned to your hand again, enabling you to repeat the same 'call to battle action' multiple times in a row if a fight lasts a couple of turns. When combat ends you put the call to battle cards aside, ready for use in a later battle.

[@sebastianravinale2592]

Hi, in 6:30 you say that whenever there's a combination of two symbols, in the faction dice, that you can do "either/or". According to my reference sheet you can do just ONE of those two options. So "either" shouldn't apply. Can you confirm? Thanks!

[@GetReadyforGameNight]

Your interpretation is correct. I do these videos without a script, so issues like that arise sometimes with my casual vocabulary

[@sebastianravinale2592]

@@GetReadyforGameNight Hi, thanks for the promt response. And don't worry, I know it happens, I just wanted to double-check since I got the spanish version and I had to make sure there wasn't a typo or anything on my end! Thanks again and great vids! Cheers!

[@andreasbossi3029]

Hi great video! But could you specify what the term « Entwood » means on the Ent faction card, please?

[@GetReadyforGameNight]

Ooh. Good question. I don't know off the top of my head. I'm at my job for the next 24 hours, then I'll need some sleep, but I will look that up when I can. Wanted to reply now to let you know that I've seen your question.

[@andreasbossi3029]

No rush m8, get some rest first :-)

[@andreasbossi3029]

Get Ready for Game Night! Oh yeah, and also: could you make an precise list of the regions the corsairs are allowed to go to, please? Can they not go to south Ithilien and North Ithilien for instance? Would be logical if they can travel to osgiliath...

[@Jbua]

Are faction pieces taken as casualties and if so can I choose who dies?

[@GetReadyforGameNight]

No. Faction figures are not Army units and are best kept separate from other units in the same space. They have no combat strength and are eliminated in different ways.

[@GetReadyforGameNight]

Thanks for watching! And thanks for the question!

[@tarikay93]

Factions add even more confusing rules to explain to newcomers, and they are considerably situational. You need to forget everything and build your playstyle around them, if you wanna really use them.

[@GetReadyforGameNight]

That's an interesting perspective... Do you enjoy using them?

[@tarikay93]

@@GetReadyforGameNight I do, when I build my playstyle around them as I mentioned :)

[@GetReadyforGameNight]

Vatian I do as well. I mostly play with the factions when I want to mix things up a bit. Never with new players. Thanks for watching!

[@tarikay93]

@@GetReadyforGameNight Thank you, for making great videos!

[@PMMagro]

I have never tried thme but feel the base game is quite enough for your first play 8as either side), Lords of Middle Earth seesm easier to add (they do just what one expects from the books).

[@snakestaffmagic4499]

Can factions be attacked instead of attacking normal units first?

[@GetReadyforGameNight]

No. Factions are not armies and cannot be directly attacked. Each faction has their own rules as to how they are eliminated. Very often, their bonus occurs after the controlling player elects to eliminate a faction figure.

[@ilya_suy]

Can you play this game with more than one expantion?

[@GetReadyforGameNight]

Yes! You can play with both expansions, but that does get a bit chaotic! Thanks for watching!

[@ilya_suy]

@@GetReadyforGameNight Thanks

[@GetReadyforGameNight]

@@ilya_suy No problem. Enjoy the game!

Im requesting hunt for the ring

[@GetReadyforGameNight]

I'm pseudo retired from making board game videos now. My day job is being an anesthesiologist, and COVID-19 completely wrecked my free time. And now I'm very much out of practice. I'll consider it though.

[@maverick7663]

You know you are a nerd when you spend ten minutes trying to figure out what those "Klingon" subtitles he is mentioning at the start are for

[@GetReadyforGameNight]

If you couldn’t figure it out, Klingon subtitles is a method by which KZbin allows creators to add text overtop of their videos AFTER they’ve been published. Thanks for the comment & thanks for watching!
