Stronghold Battle Report: Part 2

[@albertvanschoor2966]

Great video! Lovely game! I noticed in the video that if the orc player used his ballista to kill the veteran (losing a troll in the process) he would've been able to replace the lost troll with the "call a troll" order at that wall section! The score would've been 13 to 7 killing the defending spearman and archer and winning the game! Love how this game can always come down to the last turn or one final ditch effort to breach the wall! Well done gentlemen!

Oh no - don't tell Will that! I'd have to retract my victory dance. :) Thanks Albert, glad you enjoyed it.

Not entirely, you would still need to have a troll present at a wall section in order to use the ‘call a troll’ order. Liked the video and loved the game pieces from Cult of Game!!

Loved the video. We just got it for Christmas and probably missed a rule or two in our play today, but one rule we didn't miss that would have helped the defender quite a bit was that every time a siege machine fires a miss that card is discarded!! Not put back in the fire deck! Thanks again, though!!!!

Check out the rules summary on my website, you should find it very useful!

[@EsotericOrderGamers]

I discuss them at the end of the video and there's a link in the show notes.

A Fantastic play through, thank you. I just brought Stronghold and am so looking forward to playing it

[@HaYl011]

Got this from my BGG secret santa and can't wait to get a game in which is planned this week. Great video!

[@bassboyjon]

Great vids. Thanks. Very funny and entertaining. You both clearly had a good time, but it seems like Will's efforts were quite futile and he was quite frustrated with that?

[@EsotericOrderGamers]

It's purely because of the type of game this is and the fact we were playing it for the first time. Stronghold rewards repeated play and gets better as you get to know it. Since Will didn't know it very well, he didn't set up as much of a long-term strategy, which would have given him a better chance at winning. Oh, and Will always gets pouty when he's losing. :)

Great and funny :D runtrough, this game unfortunatly i won't be buying because of playing time alone. I mostly play vs my wife or daughter and for just a 2 player game i think i can't pursway them to play the game.
