Left Hand Reviews - 34 - RAF: The Battle Of Britain 1940

[@vstar7196]

This game is getting me through self-quarantine. Thank-you Decision Games for printing; thanks John Butterfield for the amazing solo game system.

[@Suvorov928]

You deserve a big hand(no pun intended) for this review/How to Play. Great job sir! I watch a lot of play throughs of different games and you do a tremendous job of discussing the rules, without going into tangents or off subject. Subscribed and will watch more of your videos.

Think one counter is a squadron size. Not a single plane.

[@terrybailey55]

Thanks for a great review. Really helped in getting through my first rounds of the game.

[@MeltdownHale]

Thank you soooooooooooo much for this video! The game was a bit overwhelming until I found your video, it all makes sense now.

[@jimsmith7445]

Dude... Thanks for the video... you did a great job in terms of explaining the game. That being said... this game makes AH's "B-17, Queen of the Skies" look way easy.

I have played D-day, but traded away my copy a while back. Need to pick up another now that they are reprinting.

[@Skidd333]

Man, this was an excellent overview! May be your best review to date. I have this game and now am going to give this game a try. I was intimidated by it, but your video helped me with understanding the game much more than trying to do it alone. Do you have plans on doing D-Day on Omaha Beach?

[@Joaquim.Oliveira]

This game looks great , I will get it because of your video , great job !!!!

[@MrSeemsLegit]

Fantastic review!

[@tonymarshall9662]

Great review mate cheers

[@SingleHandedWarfare]

Just purchased DDaOB... Would LOVE a play through of it before I crack the box open :)

[@clawlan]

Of course, but the counter itself says "Me 109" because this game is from the Allies' perspective and the Allied forces often referred to the Messerschmitt Bf 109 as the "Me 109".

[@vstar7196]

clawlan Those who win in war, get to write the history - as they see it.

[@Deltium5683]

thanks for the review, and just bought the game. What other 10/10 solo war games do you recommend? I prefer medium to heavy games, thanks !

[@clawlan]

I really like John H. Butterfield's designs, particularly D-Day at Omaha Beach

[@PMMagro]

This seems hard to find. Worth trying though, I'd love a solitare game with both sides when they have very different goals. Good review with helpfull tips. You should get some online store to sponsor you, where I live the local reviweer is well nice but amateur on wargames compared to you.

[@clawlan]

DG is reprinting it (i think it is out now, or very soon) so it should be easier to find soon. I used to have a sponsor but they went out of business :( I'll have to try to find a new one.

[@mujo2008]

tnx for video!!

[@ReptileOverlord]

You didn't talk about the German solo or 2-player games. How do they hold up?

[@clawlan]

no, i traded it away in anticipation of the reprint :)

[@raylee9883]

Why is the map upside down?

[@adlertag262]

Good review, but your German needs some help: Luftwaffe is pronounced "looft-wauhf-uh" not "looft-wauhf" Luftflotte is pronounched "looft-flauht-uh" not "looft-float" When will you be posting an RAF: Eagle episode?

[@stephenlyons604]

Luftflotte 2 and 3 were air fleets of the Luftwaffe, used in the Battle of Britain.

[@clawlan]

Hm, not sure how saying the name is a fail...

[@Skidd333]

That surprises me. You're a wargamer. Did you grow bored with it?
