Without a doubt, these tutorial videos on Nevsky are the most helpful, clear and concise I’ve seen on any boardgame. They are excellent teaching tools. While English is not the editor’s first language, he demonstrates first rate fluency and his French accent only enhances these videos. Highly recommended. for the quality and breadth of this production.

[@RenatoLaus]

Possibly one of the most exhaustive wargame tutorials I have seen online. Please do more of these in English! They are really helpful.

[@Another_opinion_]

The production value of this tutorial is amazing. Well done, really.

[@hairbrainedgames3127]

"Delicious French accent..." LOL. It truly is. What a fantastic resource for Nevsky learners. Well done!

[@cook658]

This three-video long series is true magic! Bravo!

[@williamarends7138]

Thank you for these videos. I am a 70 year old novice at playing games such as Nevsk, but your tutorial really helps me to understand the dynamics of the rules and scenarios that drive these game systems. I mentioned this on the Ardwulf's Lair live stream on February 28, 2022. Other people in the live stream has the same high opinion of your ability to teach game systems.

[@daviddetenbeck1225]

Possibly the best tutorial for a GMT game. Detailed with examples and didn't rush through at any point. thank you.

[@uwewalentin]

This is the best tutorial I have seen in years! I wanted to give up on ever learning Nevsky (horrible rules manual in my opinion) but this tutorial opened my eyes and my old mind and I finally feel access to the game. Thank you so much!!

[@brianlewandowski5427]

Excellent tutorial, really clear, very understandable. Huge thumbs up 👍 to you for doing this, wargames can be very dense and unapproachable, but this tutorial makes it much easier to understand. Playing my first game of Nevsky this weekend with the help of this video, thank you!

[@88Renji88]

It was so hard for me to read those rulebooks. Thank goodness you made a video.

[@litphaniusmcmelloy4275]

Thank you so much for doing these rules in English. Love from Belarus

[@KokoLeMakak]

Waow ! Not so far from Izborsk, Pskov and lake Peipus !

[@Nogoodusernamehere]

36 seconds of this amazing french accent with attitude and I subbed.

[@oliverludwig6148]

That's so useful, definitely one of the best game tutorials I have ever seen. I hope you'll cover some heavier games like: - The Burning Blue - PQ-17 Arctic Naval Warfare - 1805, Sea of Glory Those sit on my shelf for quite a while, because I don't really get the rules. Luckily I understand some French, so I can also learn Empire of the Sun with your tutorial.

[@ColeDano]

I've got the game, and played the first scenario a couple of times, but didn't see the 'big picture'.This tutorial really helped it all make sense, really excellent work!

[@ExtraSqueaky]

I really appreciate the amount of work you put into making these videos. One thumbs up is not enough to thank you for this!

[@vipulkothari9096]

Bravo! I have to applaud how incredibly well you have explained the rules in this series of videos. Everything is so clearly presented and the examples are perfect.

[@phillippaul614]

I was struggling to understand the game by reading the rules and then I heard about these videos. These are so well done and made learning the game much easier. Thank you for the time and effort you put into creating them!

[@thomaskaplan4898]

I'm on my fourth campaign game play through. I used your tutorial to learn the game. I love this game!

[@KrolPotato]

You play solo?

[@thomaskaplan4898]

I initially played solo, there are some systems out there to do the cards in a way that adds uncertainty

[@thomaskaplan4898]

I've been lucky enough to find some opponents now

[@hexbyhex]

I love this game and your video has, somehow, made me love it even more. This is teaching through stroy-telling at its best. Bravo et merci beaucoup.

[@mausileints]

Thank you so much for your effort! Fantastic idea dividing the video in sections and naming them! Very easy to find what you need. Also the pdf related to the game are very helpful! Please don't stop creating videos in English!

[@ju7409]

by far the best wargames tutorial out there

[@bordin74]

Thanks a lot! You are my most preferred english spoken with french accent youtuber! 😁💕

[@francescoguarascio8330]

Thank you for the video in English! Easy to understand even from Italians! Grazie!!!

[@Ludibundi]

Salue Jean Michel, you did a very very great job, thank you! Now I have to buy this game!

[@guebertp]

Formidable! Probably the best tutorial video I've ever seen.

[@MonkeyDelaney]

I am always delighted when I see a video on this channel concerning a game I’m looking at as I am confident I can get it played properly. I have had countless plays of HF4 with all the expansions largely thanks to this channel. Keep up the brilliant work!

[@mioan83]

Excellent excellent tutorial. The best there is. Subscribed and I hope you will keep doing them in english. Once again, impressive work. Much appreciated.

[@charliesmith5783]

Thank you for doing a rules video in English. I have seen your videos in the past and they looked really well done but due to my extremely poor french I was unable to watch them. Hope there are more English rules videos in the future.

[@forestbraylen2758]

I guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost my login password. I love any assistance you can give me.

[@devinreese2481]

@Forest Braylen instablaster :)

[@forestbraylen2758]

@Devin Reese I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@forestbraylen2758]

@Devin Reese It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my ass :D

[@devinreese2481]

@Forest Braylen glad I could help xD

[@briane8627]

I did indeed overcome the delicious French accent and it was totally worth it. This was a *great* tutorial! Well done!

[@ZillaBlitz]

I should have started learning the game here. Fantastic! I’ve watched the first 50 minutes and everything is coming together. Really appreciate all the effort and time that must go into this. :)

[@erikl1558]

What an amazing video and production. Thank you so much for this super interesting instructional video. Really increased my excitement to get Nevsky on the table.

[@laufetc]

Excellent video! Clearly explains everything, and without any wasted time, but still in a very interesting manner. Merci beaucoup!

[@simeonpeerutin2904]

One of the best rules and play through videos I’ve watched!

[@WatchItPlayed]

A brilliant job done here. Thanks for all your work!

[@emeralddream5965]

Very impressive! Watching it before trying to digest the rulebook. Being a Russian I'm indeed delighted by the choice of the topic by Volko Ruhnke. And on top of that, this French accent makes it look and feel more 'medieval' 🧙‍♂️

[@leshtricity]

c'est bon. this is a fantastic tutorial video. many thanks for making this game easier to learn for us.

[@simonkempes585]

Much appreciated you doing this English! This is great stuff

[@MrBbart2]

Fantastic series; really made learning the game a breeze. Thank you so much for doing this.

[@TheFencejummper]

This video is amazing! Thank you for taking the time to put this together!

[@istvanmarki4205]

The best tutorial that exist... Brilliant simply brilliant. I hope that you will also do Republic of Rome in English.

[@brunogabelli9996]

The best tutorial on a big game I've watched so far ! Bravo!

[@Flyingjos]

Best tutorial ever and bonus the French accent that makes it even better....

[@JM16714]

Great job. This is a game that is very hard to break into. This was a perfect intro focusing on the basic and key rules

[@Big_Dai]

This is a 2019 game!?? Anyway, BEAUTIFUL video. I love this channel and all the content I can actually understand.

[@elqord.1118]

I was very close to turning this off because of the accent but then…found it oddly charming :D absolutely amazing teach

[@neilbiggin]

This is a beautiful play through, thank you!!

[@Uleidiarmad]

Great work with this tutorial!, thank you very much. My best wishes to carry on

[@nunogonzalez4037]

Outstanding presentation and playthrough! Very well done.

[@docteurslump5517]

Thank you for this video John-Michael BigGame 😁👍

[@volkoruhnke26]

BRAVO. Fantastic work!!!

[@KokoLeMakak]

Fantastic game !!!

[@dinob6587]

Exceptional review. Thank you. And I love the accent.

[@maykelrc6851]

Absolutely fantastically explained! You are amazing :)

[@exeval506]

your video makes me want to buy the game. superb!

[@tryingtobebored477]

Love your videos - always very helpful.

[@pudgedooley]

Fantastic... Thanks so much for doing this. If you ever want to consider revisiting Here I Stand in English--I'd be first in line!

[@markusvmosby9102]

Brilliant teaching videos! Thank you very much!

[@pintarfacil8064]

Amazing tutorial video. Thank you so much 🙌

[@cysquatchable]

Thank you for this. Good job!

[@CptEggman]

Excellent work!

[@marticabre286]

Amazing video!

[@draft13]

This is amazing.

[@bwort007]

Fantastic video, ty!

[@pm71241]

It's a very interesting combat system

[@LectureFilms]

Thank you so much for this.

[@sgtrackar7025]

Super accent :) Du coup j'arrive à comprendre les règles même en Anglais. "But you are French ?" ;)

[@bullno1]

Very good explanation. I see that you even have a series for Empire of the Sun. Maybe one day I'll acquire and dive into that monster too. Can you do one for Enemy Actions: Ardennes?

[@carlm.9773]

Enfin super!!!!

[@claudiocinieri5468]

You should work for most of the production game PROJECTS, and set for them rules books and video they may insert in the box as digital link, how to play etc. AMAZING!!!

[@BoardGamesBooksAndWhat]

This is outstanding! You have the best rule videos! Can you do one for inferno!

[@111roadrage]

Top stuff mate

[@raynightshade8317]

Would love to see more English guide form you

[@theoven344]

Ouuuuééé chouette, je viens juste de me l'offrir celui-là. Je pense avoir compris les règles, mais une chtite vidéo de JMG ne fera pas de mal. Une petite pensée émue pour ceux de mes camarades qui aiment beaucoup les gros jeux à la GMT ou Sierra madre, et qui viennent ici pour combler leur manque de compétences en anglais... râté pour ce coup-ci :/

[@KokoLeMakak]

Ça ça vient. Je bosse sur la VF. Patience ;)

[@theoven344]

@@KokoLeMakak Alleluia !!! Je sens que ça va m'économiser de longues séances d'explication de règles !

[@darrenbelcher6121]

really excellent videos that make a comprehensive but difficult to understand rule book make much more sense - thank you! one very quick question - did you deliberately not draw capability cards for the first levy to keep things simple?

[@KokoLeMakak]

yes. I don't talk about Art of War card until video #2

[@SamGGClayton]

Thank you so much, very helpful. Can you please do a series on Almoravid as well?

[@TheAttila05]

u are a hero

[@viktorkm]

Wow! Amazing rules video!!! Maybe you can do a video for Up Front next?

[@KokoLeMakak]

I don't own Up Front... I play ASL instead ;) and there are already a lot of very good videos on it. Generally speaking, I'd like to spend time on old (forgotten) games : gunslinger, Magic realm, car wars, ...

[@viktorkm]

Ah okej. So o chance for Combat Commander either then? Thanks for veryo good videos! Your Oath video is superb!

[@BxN88]

Merci!

[@gergotothmihaly2307]

Fantastic playthrough, very informative! Thank you. Any chance you could re-do your older videos in English, please? It would be very useful for non-French speakers. (I myself am particularly interested in Republic of Rome.)

[@lunasivile4342]

Une VF de ces magnifiques vidéos règles est elle prévue ? Ce serait formidable !

[@agungwaspodo1420]

Please make another video for Almoravid

[@stefcn44]

Bonjour JMG et merci encore pour cette vidéo. Sais tu si les regles vf sont disponibles qq part...je ne vois rien sur bgg

[@KokoLeMakak]

je ne connais pas de version française mais je vais rapidement sortir une version en français de mes trois vidéos.

[@Erich-Battleready-]

Do you have to feed troops for every move or jus in the end of the command card? Example: Let's say I want to move three times with my command card...do I pay 3 provender? Thank you!

[@KokoLeMakak]

Just once at the end of the command card, whatever the number of moves & fights.

[@Erich-Battleready-]

@@KokoLeMakak Thank you for the quick reply! 🙌🏻🙌🏻Loving your channel

[@phoebus7732]

Pourquoi la règle en anglais? Il y a déjà beaucoup de vidéos en anglais beaucoup plus qu’en français.

[@KokoLeMakak]

Rassurez-vous, je vais bientôt sortir une version française de cette série de 3 vidéos sur Nevsky ! Et... détrompez-vous, il n'y a pas de bonne vidéo de règles sur Nevsky en anglais et c'est pour ça que j'ai fait ce travail.
