EP02 : Liberty Or Death - COIN Series

NOTES:
06:55 TRADE SA: The Indians can take 1 resource for free; only when more than 1 do the British have to sacrifice their own resources.
11:30 MUSTER: You can only build support if there are 1 or more Tories in the space; there isn't, so I can't muster support here.

This is my first COIN series game and have already played 4 player. So glad you decided on doing a walkthrough for solo play, as it's a bit daunting and your review is giving me the confidence to tackle it.

Another amazing Juggling act Ricky - Super-tough COIN game explained simply... Huzzah!

[@BoxofDelights]

cheers!

One tip Ricky. The special actions can take place during the command actions. For the first Indian turn, after they placed the first 2 war parties, they could trade with the British for resources, then use those to gather more on the same turn. It's been a while since I played, but pretty sure that's correct.

[@BoxofDelights]

+scalz311 that's right - you should have see me move to the special action, Persuasion, then go back to the Comnand on the Indian turn ;)

Just remember this, if you have been playing the game for six months and you’re not having a good time, ask yourself if there’s something else you should be doing.

For the Trade SA, you would need to choose to transfer > 1 resource from British. If you choose none, Indians get 1 by default. Great work so far!

[@BoxofDelights]

+Mark von Minden Good shout ! That saves me a resource :) Thank you !

[@kublaikhan5633]

Ricky, I bought this game and I am having big trouble grasping the basics. What game in the coin series would you suggest for beginners to the system ?. Thank you.

[@BoxofDelights]

I think Cuba Libre is a great starting point.

[@kublaikhan5633]

GianPaolo DiCocco , It does look beautiful.

[@kublaikhan5633]

Have you played Empire of the Sun or the U.S Civil War ? Both perhaps equally or more complex than Liberty or Death but using totally different systems.

[@Hobiecat181]

On your muster command to be able to reward royalty you needed to place Tores with your regulars.

[@BoxofDelights]

Yes, you must have tories to raise support with Muster - good spot! Thanks Mike ! I'll fix next time :)

[@Hobiecat181]

+Ricky Royal your doing great so far.

[@JimLederer]

Playing as Rebels against bots right now :-) I've survived 1775-1777 so far...

[@gonzalosantacruz5491]

Ricky, great video. Just one question for curiosity. Where did you get that dice tray? looks good. :-)

[@BoxofDelights]

+gonzalo santacruz thanks ! www.ebay.co.uk/usr/customdicebox

[@gonzalosantacruz5491]

+Ricky Royal Thank you very much Ricky!!

[@kublaikhan5633]

However I have played complex games before and there are great benefits once the basics have been mastered.

[@kublaikhan5633]

Thank You Ricky, it’s just that I am having difficulty with the rules and I am forgetting to enjoy the game. It’s becoming more like hard work than fun

[@BoxofDelights]

Games are definitely meant to be fun! Not all games are for everyone so don't worry :)
