Rules Breakdown: Empire of the Sun - Part 1

[@fcxxff]

Thank you very very much! At last! I was waiting for this for a long time, and it's happening: "this is Harsh Rules, I am Ben Harsh and today we gonna learn to play Empire of the Sun"! Hell yeah!

[@ryanlaune5599]

Can't wait for all the parts for this one.

[@alexracine9667]

Thank you so much for covering EotS! Really looking forward to the videos

[@alexd.3246]

I was hoping for this one! The visual style of these videos is awesome.

[@psul42]

This might be your most ambitious project yet. Were rooting for ya!

[@eddydelrio1303]

Wow! I can’t believe you’re following ASLSK with EotS!!!! Bravo! I’ll be watching this later and looking forward to every minute of it.

[@erickw8171]

My thoughts exactly! Ben is a brave soul indeed. This will prove invaluable for when I finally splurge and upgrade to the 2nd edition fully.

[@pascaltey]

Thanks you so much. I just started playing "South Pacific" to see if i will be able to handle EotS and right now you are posting these videos. Pefect timing and superb videos!

[@kaiax33]

Impressive! Taking on the complex games.....terrific work!

[@MrDsmalls]

This is great, can't wait for the rest of the parts! Small correction: On the intelligence roll, offensive units entering, exiting, or moving within enemy ZOI give a MINUS 2 to the roll (not +2). You're trying to roll low, equal to or less than EC or OC intelligence value on card.

“Lastly, Ben Harsh of Harsh Rules has just finished posting 6 episodes on how to play this game. They are the gold standard, so if you have not seen them here is a link to the first episode.” -Mark Herman, game designer, in reply on BGG on 2/22/2024

Thanks, Eddy!

[@rockhopper01]

Yep, I saw Mark’s post on BGG and it brought me here. Subbed!

[@stevenprickett6773]

Love your videos, long may you continue!!!! Glad your doing empire of sun sun!!!!😊👍

[@emarcelos75]

Excelent work. I hope you can do the same with WW2: Barbarossa to Berlin to GMT Games.

[@franciscocolmenares1114]

Great video! Small correction : On turns 5-12, Japan draws a card for every two resource hexes rounded up, not an additional card. The way the diagram conveys the information makes it seem that Japan draws 4 plus more cards per 2 resource hexes and that's not correct. It's just that Japan can't draw less than four no matter how many resources they hold. So in effect, if Japan controls 0-8 resource hexes they draw 4 cards, 9-10 draw 5 cards, 11-12 draw 6 cards, 13-14 draw 7 cards.

[@harsh-rules]

Thanks for the clarification!

[@Calmien]

Great series thank you. Just slight correction: No more than three friendly air and/or ground units (of any size) may be stacked in a hex. You can't have 3 air units and 3 ground units in the same hex.

[@dipdip7250]

I’ve always found myself drawn to EoTS but the rules were too daunting. Glad to see you chipping away at the beast!

[@WilliamBrothers]

Finally going to get this on the table now!

[@Ireton]

Waited for ages for you to do this one

[@frankhastings8817]

Fantastic series

[@mssmbe]

Dear Ben, another top quality video. Do you plan to also cover the Empire of the Sun Erasmus bot (CDSS)? It's a very interesting feature of this game.

[@harsh-rules]

Not sure yet. I've still got a long way to go on the 2 Player game.

[@NigelIncubatorJones]

Wow, this is a fantastic video.

[@miquelgarcia2273]
