Review: Commands & Colors: Tricorne from Compass Games - The Players' Aid

[@petem4122]

Was really glad to see you guys did a video on Tricorne! Love this game! We are now one step closer to the long awaited C&C ranking video! Battle Cry is the most simple & maybe quickest playing of them all...get it on the table & lets do this! Also, you guys have got to stop “hating” on Medieval. Promise you will play it again (with an open mind) prior to the ranking video. It honestly is one of my favorites. Thanks again guys keep up the good work.

Thanks guys... Our group really likes his "The Great War" and "Red Alert" games in this series so I'm considering this one. Sometimes a light war game is just what you want to have fun.

Hello thanks for the nice video review. I've always wanted to try commands and colors and this one looks very interesting. I may have to get this one. Thanks again wonderful review. 👍

Finally Tricorne! Honestly Ancients is my favorite iteration but I feel this is the best iteration out of the base box. Best supplemental deck; nation specific, the leaders matter, the retreat/rally checks are fantastic. It is slower-paced. I don’t love the dice reduction when moving. The French expansion is arguably among my least favorite of all the expansions across Commands and Colors. But on the whole it is very good.

Thanks for doing this. Love your reviews

Also a big fan of the combat cards because they add a ton of historical flavour for no real overhead. If you get the chance to play a Napoleonics game with the Marshal's expansion you will get combat cards in that game too. They are a must-have IMHO 👍

[@ThePlayersAid]

It's basically the only one I don't have... Guess I need to get on the horn.

Thank you guys. I have uploaded Tricorne Scenarios for TTS. I think it could be a good topic for one of your videos the digital side of our game. You know, TTS, VASSAL.

It is a great game as are all the c and c games. Great video.

Don't hate on the Patriot :P Keep up the great content!

To do your rating of the whole system you will have to try Red Alert: Space Fleet Warfare put out last year by psc. It has really nice space ship minis in it.

[@ThePlayersAid]

We already played and reviewed it (I think it's my #1)

[@Spearhead672]

I missed that review sorry, Red alert is also my favorite with Napoleonics a close second. The marshals expansion for CCN really makes those games a ton better.

[@charliestokes4520]

What I want to know is- which one of you guys applied the stickers to the units? They never tell you about that before you buy it

[@ThePlayersAid]

I do almost all the stickering.

[@polyfission2776]

If you eventually get the French expansion, do know that it comes with a new set of dice, much chunkier and embossed :)

[@Conflict_Boardgaming]

I didn't like this game in the system guys, nor did I care very much for the WWI one. But thanks for the vid!

Kind of disappointed in Alexanders selection of sweater and shirt.

[@briandenison2325]

Was this filmed before the China Flu?

[@NerdyDude186]

Brian Denison does it matter?

[@briandenison2325]

Not really, just curious

[@ThePlayersAid]

This was filmed back in late January, I just hadn't processed it.

[@trashl0rd]

The artist(s) for this game really dropped the ball. It's all so bland and uninspired. And that's saying something since the C&C games were never strong in that category, but this is bad.

You lost me in your review in less than 2 mins , pop a beer and discuss it more. ARe you doing a review or a comparison or opinion piece? I couldn't tell, stopped it at 1:57, wasted my time viewing.

[@oneanotherstudios]

You only gave the video less than 2 minutes? You must skip a lot of game review videos....
