THE TURN | Order 66 Defectors, Ep. 1 | One-Hour Skirmish Wargames

In this video we play our first game of One-Hour Skirmish Wargames in our series "Order 66 Defectors". The order has come from Palpatine, and a Jedi is gunned down in cold blood. But there is a handful of Clone Troopers that refuse the order. The consequence of this, however, might just be the defectors' own undoing...

There are a few rules errors that slipped their way into this game! Sorry! 😅 I will try hard to see that they don’t show up in the next battle! 😊👍🔥

[@flynitlo]

I love these rules. Fast, clean and fun!

[@GrayArmyGaming]

@@flynitlo I agree! I have really been enjoying the system! 😊👍

[@bladerdj3503]

A cool video, what a story. The game was very understandable to follow!

[@GrayArmyGaming]

@@bladerdj3503 Awesome! Thanks so much! Here is the next video in the series, if you are interested: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJitgJRmh6lgiq8. I am working on Episode 3 now, which is going to involve vehicles and vehicle combat! 😮😬 It should be fun!! 👍

Yes: the loser in CC is removed - it can be either the attacker or defender. Hierarchy of cards: S-H-D-C for tied draws. I'd play with a few more figures on each side, and start farther apart...they have guns for a reason!

[@GrayArmyGaming]

Thanks for the tips! I will definitely incorporate them into the next game!

[@mikeelliott2736]

In the case of a tie, the suit of the card determines the winner: Spades beats Hearts beats Diamonds beats Clubs (as in ridge). See p4.

[@GrayArmyGaming]

Thanks for the correction! I will be sure to remember that in the next game! 😊👍

[@matthewnowachek2229]

A question came up about when you shuffle the decks. (I have been playing that the decks are shuffled after a Joker is drawn and before the start of the new turn, but this is not correct.) Here is John Lambshead's own explanation: "You shuffle the cards after the deck has been used up so one starts again with a newly randomised deck." So, the turn ends with a draw of a Joker, but the deck is only shuffled once the last card is drawn.

[@MrTorbern75]

hehehe very entertaining

[@GrayArmyGaming]

@@MrTorbern75 The next episode is on its way soon! 😊👍

Just got this game and am looking to try it out as well. Great battle report, looking forward to more. Here a couple rules issues I saw. When the cards are tied, you look at the suit, the order being spades beating hearts beating diamonds beating clubs. You only draw a second card if both cards share the same suit. Would not have mattered with the 5's, but the second time @4:12 the defector would have hit. The close combat, the loser is removed from the game. Also, I don't think you keep checking for initiative. You simply go back and forth with activation cards until a Joker is pulled. Then do end of turn stuff and redo initiative.

[@GrayArmyGaming]

Awesome! Thanks for the rules corrections! 😊👍

[@terrainaholic]

I had to wait to see this with the wife:)!!! What a unique combat system!!!! Great Battle report!!!!!!

[@GrayArmyGaming]

Thanks so much! The next game will be coming soon! 😊👍

[@TimboToys]

Really excited to see this and looking forward to more!

[@GrayArmyGaming]

Awesome! The next episode is in the works!! 😊👍

[@TimboToys]

I’ve played a couple of games with my legion models and really like how quick the game moves.

[@GrayArmyGaming]

@@TimboToys Totally! It is a nicely designed system!! 😊👍

[@thomaswilliams5005]

Love the contents. Keep it up

[@GrayArmyGaming]

Thanks so much! It means a ton to have your support! The content is DEFINITELY going to continue!! I have so many fun ideas in the lineup! 🥳

[@martinbowman1993]

This card method is a very interesting method for resolving this conflict.

[@GrayArmyGaming]

Indeed! I look forward to trying it out again in future battles! 😊👍

[@Solospelunking]

Great video and interesting system.

[@GrayArmyGaming]

It is a lot of fun! I can’t wait to run the next game!! 😊👍

[@artistpoet5253]

That was a lot of fun to watch and listen too. I'll have to check out these rules. I've been looking for something quick and versatile for my RPGs.

[@GrayArmyGaming]

Thanks! Fascinating idea to roll this system over into RPGs! 😊👍

[@mikeelliott2736]

You only draw for Initiative after the end of a turn (when a Joker is drawn).To be fair, a lot of players seem to get this rule wrong.

[@GrayArmyGaming]

Thanks!

[@Nintendoggy]

Good soldiers follow orders.

[@GrayArmyGaming]

@@Nintendoggy 😂 These were VERY BAD soldiers!!

[@mikeelliott2736]

I think you are only supposed to shuffle a deck when the deck is exhausted. Though I cannot find a specific reference to this in the rule book. Not that it actually matters that much.

[@GrayArmyGaming]

Interesting! I will need to check that out in the rules! Thanks! 😊

[@GreekSoloRPG]

Heavy losses for the defectors. I have not read the one hour skirmish ruleset but the activation points system is really interesting.

[@GrayArmyGaming]

It is a really quick and snappy system. Great for a fast game when you only have an hour. It would work awesome for a tournament where you need to play many games in a weekend!

[@tablesaltgames]

Your content is all I have of Star Wars since the mouse ruined it 🤦🏾‍♂️😂

[@GrayArmyGaming]

Oh no!! I will HAVE to keep the Star Wars content coming then, for your sake! 😊👍

[@elijahf7578]

Will the Defectors face the Imperial Stormtroopers next in a rebellion attempt!?

[@GrayArmyGaming]

Something like that is DEFINITELY in the lineup. Next game might be an attempt to commandeer a vehicle or a ship! We will see!! 🤩👍🔥

[@OliverLaskoski]

Where did you get these miniatures? Thanks!

[@GrayArmyGaming]

Hi! These are the minis from the Star Wars Miniatures game from Wizards of the Coast that were produced in the early 2000s. I have been playing many games with them. Here are some examples: m.kzbin.info/aero/PLZ0KSu-qTqVGxf0Lx7vX7qeUa0u-6IQjK

[@elijahf7578]

I see a lot of them for sale on eBay, if that helps!

[@mikeelliott2736]

If an attacker is defeated in close combat he should be immediately removed as a casualty. I know I've written a number of rules clarifications here on the comments, but in practice these nuances don't make that much of a difference. I think the game should be played fast and furious just as you've done here!

[@GrayArmyGaming]

Thanks! Keep the comments coming! I hope to have an error free game in the next battle! Much appreciated!! 😊👍

[@peterwood8729]

If you are in a situation where you can draw more than one card, and the first card gives you what you need, do you need to draw the remaining cards?

[@GrayArmyGaming]

@@peterwood8729 Great question! I would say, yes, because there is still a chance that you might draw a joker. The game is even more dynamic when you are moving through more cards!
