TDG: 1754: Conquest

[@stowcreek1999]

... One of the funniest moments in boardgaming reviews "that's why we're all speaking French and Indian today". ... I laughed out loud... Love ur reviews... Sorry we won't be seeing much of you anymore... Great luck in Tejas with your PhD!

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Thank you, sir! I'll stick around as long as possible!

Fantastic!

[@darrellharrod521]

Really enjoy your videos, looking forward to your next video. Keep up the good work.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Thank you. I intend to, for the next few months at least...

[@mmayhill1963]

Great review. I played a full game of this at Origins 2017, and loved it. First one of the series I tried, and looking forward to playing the sister games (especially 1775). Highly recommend this game.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Thanks!

I remember reading the Crucible of War back in college. Quite a good book. There is another good book on the difference in style of warfare that was a nice read too about that time period. Can't remember the name though its packed away in some closet.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Very good. Thanks!

My friend had the same feeling regarding 1775 vs. 1754 and preferred the colony control of 1775. To me, it's a non-issue because helps differentiate the two games in tone. Colony control works and feels right in 1775 because it reflects the realities of the AWI. Whereas the F&IW was a wide front between two countries with specific strategic avenues of advance. Colony control (in the vein of 1775) doesn't feel right for a F&IW game because that was not the goal-each side tried to control specific strategic objectives irrespective of the colonies themselves, which I think 1754 captures that feeling by weighting certain areas as objective areas.

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

hangarflying Good points. Thanks.

[@davedogge2280]

Does it have that ambush scene from The Last of The Mohicans ?

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Fort William Henry is in the game!

[@thomascoleman8307]

Is this worth getting if you already have another game in this series?

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

It depends on whether or not you want the variation. In my opinion, 1775: Rebellion is the best in the series, and it is the only one I currently have.

[@thomascoleman8307]

Sound thanks

[@douglaspearson1647]

Yes but did you really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really like it?

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Not as many "reallies" as 1775, but still a lot of them...

[@koomo801]

I never notice that, but I do hear a lot of "of course"s throughout his reviews. So, we may disagree, you and I, on what he may say too often, but we can agree that not everyone is a perfect public speaker like you and me.

[@rexross1461]

So if you bought all of these games in the series, would you play one after the other in order? Also is there any more in the series coming?

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

I don't think the order in which you play them really matters. They each offer something special and unique. They are currently doing a Kickstarter for Vikings 828- same system, but different era.

[@GGdeTOURS37]

Like you I prefered 1775 for the way it worked and it's too bad because as French I prefered 1754 for the thema!

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]

Guillaume Gleize Playing Imperial Struggle right now as the French. Viva la France!

[@GGdeTOURS37]

@@TheDiscriminatingGamer Just saw it now! Sorry! By the way: More we play both games more we change our minds and prefer 1754 now for many reasons but the main: Much less chance! Mostly regarding the end: You can't just jump around with your armies and take a far away region to win at the last moment (like in 1775) because in 1754 the VPs can be strongly defended much easily than a full colony! In Our Arrogant Opinion - But we keep on using 1775 to introduce new players to this serie because it's simpler (and still beautiful for this simplicity)! Regards - GG

[@TheDiscriminatingGamer]
