Nevsky [How to play] (Levy and Campaign Series, GMT Games, 2019)

[@Justegarde]

So happy to see this on your channel! I’m actually working on a design in this series, and any exposure to wargamers only helps the series expand its audience.

[@WiseGuyHistory]

I love the rules for this and am keen to see more. What title are you working on?

[@Justegarde]

@@WiseGuyHistory It’s called Seljuk: Byzantium Besieged. Covers 11th Century Byzantium around the Battle of Manzikert. Seljuk Turks vs Eastern Romans.

[@WiseGuyHistory]

That sounds awesome! Whereabouts is it at, very keen to play more from this series!

[@Justegarde]

@@WiseGuyHistory Closing in on officially ready to announce. I’ve had the prototype at various conventions in the US this year for demos, including at GMT. The design and final map are basically complete, next step will be intensive balance playtesting at scale and building public awareness after Inferno ships.

You're really on fire at the moment. I have just been watching through your Skies Above Britain series only to then find you just posted this video on my favourite game series. Really great explanation by the way, I know the system well, but I still struggle to teach it.

[@WiseGuyHistory]

Yeah finally have some time to get to some games, and some great ones at that!

[@michaeloberly6129]

Such an interesting design. I found it hard to learn, mostly because of the new ideas, and my ignorance of the subject matter. Definitely watching this, thanks for doing it.

[@erikl1558]

Thanks for the great content. Really excited by this game and it’s design.

[@WiseGuyHistory]

Thanks Erik, yeah I was hugely surprised by this, it's an amazing game (and series).

Love this series, Almoravid is also incredible!

[@WiseGuyHistory]

I've been completely blinkered and only recently 'noticed' this series. Recently picked up Nevsky, and only just found out about Almoravid! I need to pick that up ASAP!

Love this game so much

out standing game and designer

Love this time period and geography. Would love to get an overall evaluation and impressions review of this game. I'm getting back into wargaming and avoiding titles that don't have robust underlying mechanics and one-shots. This "levy and campaign" system/series looks to have solid footing and legs.

Boring game…move…winter….move winter…repeat….zzzz
