Wow, unlucky at the end there Dan - that was a 1.4% shot I think! However, you did get very bogged down with those PIIIs. I can understand your caution with the PIVs but once they were gone you should probably have got up close and started dealing with the infantry - they were your objective after all! You were hitting the PIIIs easily but as you were to the front it was harder to penetrate. You only need a turn and a couple of moves to get to its rear side which makes penetration pretty easy. Maybe needed to risk your commander a bit more, especially once you lost the driver? Anyway, great video and can’t wait for Mission 4!

haha yes!! But that is fun, you never know what happends. Did you spot any rule misstakes? Yepp I think I was just so scared to get flanked by them so I wanted to play it "safe", but you really got to get a move on, not to get zerged.. Kind of "push your luck" there. Thank you Mike!

[@mikelambosolitairebookgames]

@@WW2SolitaireBoardGameChannel Didn't notice any rule mistakes. And yes, obviously the more you let them shoot at you, the more likely they will get that 'magic' shot!

This was a crazy ending! Quite unexpected! I wish there was a bit more player input. That way you can pop smoke and maneuver and fire the way you need to while the enemy uses the charts as their AI? It's probably not a fix it all solution of course! I still do love the fact that this is a super portable gaming book and looks incredibly fun to play! Just a wise piece of advice for next time, roll better for YOUR tank and WORSE for them!! Who knew you were going to run into the famous Panzer Ace Maximilian SchutzWell? Crazy! 😆 🤣 😂 I Crack myself up.

Oh yeah this is one of the very best portable wargames!! I think I will do special episode for portable games!! :) haha, thanks for the "good" advice man xD

[@wbridgeusmc]

@@WW2SolitaireBoardGameChannel Oh yeah, definitely do a portable game video. I’ll definitely be taking notes!! 😄

I have a rules question. When an enemy tank starts in a field hex you use the "field" column, that I get. I noticed as the tank moved forward it changed to a road hex. At that point, do you continue to use the field column, because that's the column it started with, or should you switch to the road column for the determination of the next die? At any rate, I'm loving this game. It will be my next purchase.

[@WW2SolitaireBoardGameChannel]

Hi! You only use orders from STARTING hex, it does not matter if you or the enemy moves to another hex! Cheers

[@deltingley7597]

Thank you!

When you were in front of that Panzer you kept saying you should flank him but didn't even roll for move. At least roll to see if you get what you need, and stay put if you don't. I believe you sat there for at least 3 turns, most likely you would've gotten the dice you needed one of those turns.

[@WW2SolitaireBoardGameChannel]

I just never figured I would need to, felt like it was a done deal! But my dice played me.

Well that did not go well. 😫I was going to point out that you forgot the PzKw III twice but then you realized it and played 'catch up'. If you had moved it earlier it may have played out differently. Must have been PzKw III L with the long 50mm - don't take them lightly ... You must have been tired from your American Tank Ace marathon. 🥱Maybe slow down a bit to make sure you don't miss any phases. 🤔Good luck with Mission 4. A Tiger and PzKw IV will be a challenge, especially with all that mud. 🤞

[@WW2SolitaireBoardGameChannel]

That has to been an über ace!! Or my Sherman just sucked xD Ah some fog of war, it's bound to happen. I think that if people recorded their sessions and watched afterwards, the wast majority would be very surprised on the amounts of error commited! You just don't notice them when not recording. Even Mike did some errors in his videos, and he is playing his own game!! :D Oh yes, it will be a challange, and I have learned not to mess with Tigers... We'll see how it goes! Cheers Peter!

Can snipers fire through buildings?, just started this one.

[@WW2SolitaireBoardGameChannel]

I'm pretty sure buildings block line of sight for anyone

[@waynedaly100]

lol very bad luck on you rolls, great vid.

[@WW2SolitaireBoardGameChannel]

Thank you kindly Sir. I enjoy dice rolling and the as aspect of it. You could be really lucky or you could have a bad time! Luckily this is just a game.. But in reality it's not as enjoyable. I am for ever greatful to the men who fought for my freedom.
