How Did This Actually Get To Production? Axis & Allies: North Africa

[@LozHumphries]

Good video, and I totally agree with all of the points - especially the bit about the rulebook.

[@BoardGameHackers]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@christopherwilson2606]

I had this game on the table for over three weeks, constantly looking through the rule book, before I figured it out. Fun game after you figure things out.

[@BoardGameHackers]

yes, I feel you there!

[@HelderP83]

You have great storytelling and video productio in your videos, great work! thank you for your content. Cheers

[@BoardGameHackers]

Thank you very much! happy rolling!

[@BadBame962]

Pretty good review on this game's product quality. Bringing up many of the clearly fixable, smaller issues can definitely help make things just that easier and appealing for future products if this video gets enough attention. One issue I have is that the video feels a little… overstimulating. There are far too many switches in music and sudden sounds in just a few seconds to really focus on the points of the video. Other than that, good review!

[@BoardGameHackers]

Thank you for the feedback. I've been trying to nail down the pace and tone. can you give me a timestamps of the most overstimulating parts so I can see what you're seeing and make changes for the next vid? cheers!

[@Matt_Hyra]

Thanks for the updated video!

[@BoardGameHackers]

I appreciate you taking the time to help make these videos better. I must say I very much enjoy your work. Hats off Matt.

First vid of yours I've seen. As a boardgamer I really appreciate your review covering the gameplay as well as picking apart and discussing game design theory. Especially being super into A&A and seeing the hype over this at GenCon and not having played this yet. Eagerly about to look through your catalog for a game I have played and hear your analysis of it. The one "Video Blunder" IMHO is the tone in the delivery of your analysis. A feel of "I'm an authority" No doubt most of your points are fair and valid, they were just said in such an over confidently self assured way it sounded self righteous. Still loved the vid though!

[@BoardGameHackers]

I appreciate the feedback. can you say more about 'self righteous'? can you give me a few timestamps from the video of when I do it the most so I can see what you are seeing. Cheers!

[@gowensbach2998]

Many house rules would no doubt be needed to correct some of the not fun bits.

[@dembones9275]

this kinda reminds me of campaign of north africa

[@drshades1]

Dear Pwns, Will you please review War Room? I'm considering getting it, but I would like to get your opinion first. Thanks!

[@BoardGameHackers]

War Room, nice. That is a BIG game and it's pretty low on my video list. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

[@CBs_Bill_from_Montana]

I wish Renegade Games would hire you to help with everything A&A. People that love it like us would do it for free. You got a BBR map in your living room? Come to BBR in Atlanta and play with us. I can get you an invite if you’d like.

[@BoardGameHackers]

Good eye, Lt. Dan BBR map with some color tweaks. Getting to test the new A&A games would be pretty epic. When does everyone meet in Atlanta?

[@CBs_Bill_from_Montana]

@@BoardGameHackers Lt. Dan personally gave me a BBR 5 map in Atlanta. It’s incredible. He actually lives close to Atlanta and he might be able to come play. BBR originated in Atlanta and the tourneys are held in late September. However, I’m friends with Sired Blood and we’re doing a play test in January or February 2025. I don’t expect to win since I’m playing against the designer but it’s really fun!

[@nathwhit3980]

Ouch, was there even any playtesting!?

[@BoardGameHackers]

For the gameplay, I would say it's been play tested very well. But sometimes it's hard to see the forest through the trees!

[@flow3730]

Can you please put more special effcts into you video? My 10sec attention span is ruined by tiktok.

[@BoardGameHackers]

hahah, message received.

[@CBs_Bill_from_Montana]

lol

[@robertmoffitt1336]

Lol! 😄

[@marcomvi4116]

15:40 wtf do you expect people to say "ok ill move this scout car in 69w 107n"?

[@marcomvi4116]

also in italy you wont put anything but airplanes so you dont need a different stacking limits

[@BoardGameHackers]

haha, great point!

[@BoardGameHackers]

You're correct that nobody would keep anything but airplanes on Italy. Italy is the territory where units go when you can't yet deploy them to a convoy. cheers!

[@miguelvalladares1986]

I like Italy, so I will support failing endeavors. But in all seriousness, wen I saw the map I ask why Balcans, Palestina and Irak were let out as playable spaces. Them I saw the unit asymmetry, and detected some questionable numbers. But this topic can be fix, changing some properties of the units. I will Buy 2 copies if I can, A. I vote for the theater and B I like Italy 😅.

[@BoardGameHackers]

gotta love Italy! Yes, creating your own unit sheets could be fun!

[@darrenhardy9005]

Thanks for the review. Definitely won’t be buying this one.

[@BoardGameHackers]

fair enough. but I feel you might be missing out! cheers

[@titanuranus3095]

WTH is up with the Palestinian-Transjordanian border?
