Let's Play! - LUNAR by Black Site Studio

Set in the dystopian past of a 1970s where the Soviet Union won the space race and the cold war has gone hot on the surface of the Moon, Lunar is a kitchen-table skirmish for 2 or more players.
Jay takes the helm of NASA as I pilot the Soviet Cosmonauts in our first game!

I feel like this system could be adapted too a Deep Sea theme. The idea of battling over shipwrecks and materials in those deep sea dive suits.

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

Yes!!!

[@patrickordos425]

Awesome idea, Darren

[@asowle]

Indeed... and you can try this when "violent dark" hits retail... another space game, but with a monster as well... so that can be your "deepstar 6".... if you want to head under water

[@rickschwab3963]

Are there terraforming and building structures abilities ?

[@Dontcarewillneveruse]

made it through school of hard knocks, joined the air Force, flew dozens of missions both official and unofficial, did your duty and became one of the best. One of america´s finest. And the day you got the call you were going to space, you couldn´t have been prouder. it´s your last thought as you bleed out on the Moon, Shanked by some Ivan with a meat cleaver you´re sure still had borscht on it.

[@brotherhoodofsteel4751]

There should be a ghost faction in this game

[@DeliciousCornbread]

Jay is a man after my own heart... space shotgun.

[@euansmith3699]

"Space Shotgun" sounds like it should be a track by Hawkwind.

[@asowle]

Just wanted to say thanks for my fun watching you both last night... also they have "rovers" now as well... look forward to it again in 2 weeks time....

[@aaronbrown4275]

HERE WE GO! I've been waiting for this vid since you first said you were doing a Let's Play for Lunar.

[@darrenbolton603]

I read about this game and thought; space combat on the moon, not for me. After watching you two play and have so much fun, I’m in! This game is super neat and has fun game mechanics, everything I want in a game. Looking forward to see you two play more games!

[@animusvids]

Jay's one liners are awesome

[@SpannSr1970]

YES! I’m so excited to see this! Thanks Ash! Small miniature count games is for me!

[@Kevin.Mitchell]

Space shotgun - the best kind of shotgun. Unfortunately this one appeared to be firing marshmallows - Jay, you need to check these things are loaded before the game man! Excellent fun chaps, well played!

[@johnhaynes9442]

Fun fact. I used to work for the European space agency. So this appeals. Also 3 to 5 figures seems like a really sweet spot for skirmish.

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

That’s awesome! Grab some freelancers then so you can do ESA!

[@johnhaynes9442]

@@GuerrillaMiniatureGames that's the plan. Plus my partner loves hard sci fi so she might be up for it.

[@asowle]

If you still worked there... at the next meeting you be asking for "space shotguns"...!

[@Kickdoutofthehood]

Absolutely adored this! Can’t wait to finally get my set together now and play a bunch

[@euansmith3699]

"How not-stabbable you are." 😂😂😂 That worn tarmac mat works really well for a lunar surface. The Mr Burns'/Inflatable Party Sumo/Bouncy Castle style combat in this game is suitably lunar like. "You were the best of us!" "I'm still ALIVE!" 😂 I'm trying to work out if letting the astronaut die, rather than keeping him for ransom, would be a better idea. Also, sending him back, would maintain pressure on the NASA team's base resources. This would be narrative, rather than mechanical, I guess.

[@Wildboy789789]

I really LOVE the mechanics of this game

[@zombiedad]

Super fun. I am getting this. Thanks Ash.

[@joevespaziani]

I was pumped when you said you were playing Jay! That guy kills me - I feel like he could make candyland a good time : ) Great to see you Jay👏🎉

[@worlds-in-conflict]

Thanks!

[@bshean72]

Hoping some local shops stock it like they did with Don't Look Back

[@janl302]

The glitches really make it feel like its coming directly from the moon on a 70s radio antenna! But seems like a really fun game, will have to check if its availabe around here in Europe...

[@goblinry]

"Boys! I'm Gettin' complains that someone is getting drunk and high and playing space in the middle of the street" Can't wait till I get a break to watch this one.

[@squallgoku777]

Blacksite Studios is having an awesome run of releases with Don't Look Back and Violent Dark, and now Lunar.

[@AdamViklund]

A cool looking game, and a fun watch! I think the glitching in the video is caused by some "secret organization" trying to suppress video that's a bit too close to what "really" happened...

[@oldschoolfrp2326]

Some interesting mechanics to manipulate in play - exertion for more actions now vs future actions, some low grav bouncy physics, all in a 2x2’ space

[@BlackSiteStudios]

Woooo! Looks like you guys had a ton of fun! 🌚🌛🌚

[@HeWhistlesTunes]

The Concentration Tokens are the attributes to the Medic Character.

[@schoonerlabs4656]

Seems to be a nice set of thematic rules, not too heavy but not totally stripped down.

[@Gadgets2059]

Did anyone catch the Robocop reference? Looking forward to this.

[@johantoresson8125]

Great game and video as always! Regarding the comment that Nasa is sponsored by Remington or Smith & Wesson. NASA uses Lockheed Martin.

[@justindedrick4682]

Anyone else gonna build up some 32mm kerbals?

"Da comrade Korova. You go first for glorious motherland. We'll be right behind..."

[@cjanquart]

Neat game and concept. Next they need a "Moonraker" expansion...jet packs and lasers ::pew pew::

[@BlizzardofKnives]

Great banter XD .

[@joseramirezdecoronado6033]

I liked this battle report. Not sure if I like the game though. However, I really thought your opponent added a lot to this report, and really made it a lot of fun to watch!!

[@D3thklok81]

Been waiting for this one

[@kellydavis3108]

You probably know already but something seems up with your camera. Noticed it in a recent book review vid and saw it again in this.

[@tomwisniewski8988]

The game has some cool mechanics but it seems really hard to actually remove a model from the table. It's like a sumo suit fight. I'm guessing it gets more deadly with more models and equipment.

[@therandomheretek5403]

Yeah the fact that the shotgun doesn't seem capable of doing damage unless the cosmonaut happens to stand against a wall kinda rubs me the wrong way.

[@jeromyfisher297]

Freedom comes in buck shot

[@TheImmersedOfficial]

Love this so much and was sold the minute I saw the review - just wish the shipping was a little less brutal to Australia - when shipping is 130% of the base game cost alone, you know you'll have to watch this one from afar for a bit..

[@housecaldwell]

41:00 Nyet, nyet! The Russians wouldn't let the medic die. They'd capture him and force him to make a public confession on Soviet TV!

[@Flarecobra]

Why is it I start thinking of the movie "Moon Zero-Two" at the game description?

[@recentconvert42]

This looks awesome

[@Pandenhir]

Looks great! Damn the shipping costs to the EU, gonna get a box!

[@andrewboyko8304]

Do you have a video where you do an unboxing of the starter set? I’m curious how many extra arms/ bits you get.

[@limelizard1]

This reminds me of Moon Zero Two.

[@omnivision616]

I want to get this game so bad. I love Don't Look Back so know they make games I enjoy. But my friends are lame asses and only want to play GW games. Never want to expand their horizons.

[@brotherhoodofsteel4751]

Is there a whaler faction?

[@toferkrz946]

So this is Space Force the Miniature Game? Can I play Steve Carell?

You can

[@rwillis3054]

Anyone else get some corruption in the 21min area?

[@schoonerlabs4656]

Ya been noticing some flickering corruption in last few videos.

[@GuerrillaMiniatureGames]

I think it’s You Tube because the upload files are fine. For some reason when Google renders the em there’s some kind of frame static.

[@schoonerlabs4656]

@@GuerrillaMiniatureGames Just started noticing it in the last week or so. I think the Lunar rules review also had it. Weird.

[@justwentfullchuu2]

Hey would you say that's a good amount of terrain or you'd recommend more?

[@joevespaziani]

No golf club?

[@worlds-in-conflict]

That was my one complaint about the nearly limitless supply of arms each set of astronauts comes with.

[@Alefiend]

It looks reasonably fun, but I'm not sure I love the combat model. It seems like it should be deadlier, and weapon recoil should be much more of an issue for shooters. I mean, really - shotguns do blunt damage? Did they only send you up with beanbag rounds? And if you can knock your target X inches by shooting them, the shooter should also be at risk of getting knocked down or going flying (maybe less because they're braced). This is the environment that Gyrojet weapons would be perfect for.

These being Medics for Warhammer40k, is going to revolutionize and slow the pacing of the game and make it a more critical play. Warhammer 10 Edition. 2026

[@Velgar_Grim]

Also it's kinda bad when one side gets 2/3s of the actions the other side gets. Not even talking about the exertion. Round three Mericans didn't activate Medic. Russians started and Russians ended the turn. XD

[@livanbard]

I don't like it. The models aren't engaging to build and paint.
