Warfighter Modern Shadow War Playthrough

[@VasilisFouk]

This looks good. If I wanted to get nitpicky I'd say the shadow war system has one too many die rolls for my taste. I can see certain sessions getting a bit too clunky when several hostiles are on the board. You roll for stealth movement, you roll to see who pauses, you roll for soldier stealth movement, you roll for attacks. When you have 1-3 Hostiles on the board this should be easy to track but when Hostiles are 4 or more then maybe it gets a bit too fiddly. On another note, I think I spotted two mistakes in the video. First, the Squad soldier used his Night Vision goggles twice in the same Soldier turn. They can only be used once as far as I know. Second, 22:30 mark, the Passing Soldier pauses but since he is in a Checkpoint he should have immediately ran for the alarm. In any case, mistakes don't really matter, this was just a demo to showcase how the system works. I like the ideas behind the stealth system, even though they seem a bit fiddly, but if you ask me for a bottom line I'd like to have a Private Military Contractor core game with a Shadow War expansion instead of the other way around.... :) Thank you for the video!

i've got to second the "too many dice" sentiment. The amount of additional fiddly, compared to WF Modern, kills it for me, and the extra rolls for every little thing (specifically: movement and enemy awareness) drives a nail in that coffin.

Can we expect a gameplay video for the PMC standalone game? Can't wait till it arrives! Based on this (and the other shadowwar) video I decided to up kickstarter to order ShadowWar as well btw, so good marketing!

You made awsome games Dan keep on your good job

[@danieldwyer]

Question. In the video around the 10 minute mark you say that movement generates 2 points of noise unless you make a shadow roll, but the rule book say you generate one point of noise and no noise at alll with a Shadow roll. Which is it? 11:30 Aren't night googles a once per turn use item? 22:30 Passing soldier should be going to the alarm, per the "checkpoint" location instructions. 24:55 If the weapon used to get rid of the one guard was a "supressed" weapon, the 2nd guard should have been suppressed. 25:20 You can't move Douglas in, it costs 2XPs to move a soldier into the checkpoint location. Personally, I wouldn't have played the checkpoint. I would have spent a few actions to discard and draw to find a more safe location to play. The checkpoint should be avoided if at all possible.

I'm looking forward to getting into this after the holidays!

Nice stuff - But I definitely see some good criticism from Vasilis F. But a demo is where mistakes are allowed to be made. A fine tuning here and there, leads to a great product!

Dan... great VLOG! I am a Warfighter devotee, and a completionist. I've already loaded up on Warfighter WWII, both Europe and Pacific, and Warfighter Modern... both amazing games! I also went all in for this expansion on KS. The new mechanisms look sensational and I'm looking forward to indulging in what the final product looks like. *** Just a curious question...you said that all the Warfighter games can overlap... when will you come out with Warfighter Fantasy? Have you given any thought to a WWI component for Warfighter? I think it would really work well in this system. OK... another fantastic game in an ocean of DVG games.... looking forward to it.

Can be cool Dan if u provide (if possible) the template for the cards, so we can make more cards and customiser our game

[@DanVerssenGames]

The reason we can't is because that would be giving away our game. We do offer customized soldier cards in the Kickstarter however.

[@NoEnemiesHere]

Thanks, Dan.

We also need the French in Mali

You should delete this video and update it with a new one. Many rules are different now and I don`t know if it is me playing right/wrong or you.

[@Liopot68]

seconded!

[@travisjansen7413]

what rules are different? Help a new player who is looking at some info on how to play the game...

[@Liopot68]

@@travisjansen7413 go on BGG and download the player's aid. You cannot play this game with the official rulebook or any of the videos online.

[@tjans1979]

Interesting. I'll check it out. Why do you say you can't play it with videos or the rulebook?

[@Liopot68]

@@tjans1979 all videos are made with old rules - a lot of things changed. The rulebook is useless - it's a mish mash of all the rules for all the games in the series. It is extremely unpractical. To be honest, I was about to give up when i found the pdf I told you about.
