I think you put it on the reddit post, but I'll respond here too: Absolutely! I also prefer playing in person, but use TTS to experiment and try new things which there have been a lot of recently. I also do commentary over games I record at our local tournaments. You'll be able to tell from the thumbnails which are in person and which are TTS in this playlist: Time to: Game - Star Wars Shatterpoint: th-cam.com/play/PLu10eIZVs1tFWjR72ukq1zCaJqE4Ywi3j.html

Doh! Yeah. Beer. Thanks. :)

I believe Riley was on the newer side and was running all Empire. I played him in a round where he played Iden/Vader and had Del Meeko as the support with Vader. Looks like his plan was an Iden anchor with the four Empire squads available at the time (Thrawn having just come out)

Oooo, that will be helpful. Thank you!

I don't have my own discord, though I'm active on the official and unofficial Shatterpoint Discords as well as Zion's Finest Slack (discord.gg/atomicmassgamesofficial, discord.gg/8WgxuTAD, join.slack.com/t/zionsfinest/shared_invite/zt-2rt3pma1c-Jt60jU51Ha9vzG5oDOkunA). I haven't been looking for games on TTS mainly due to scheduling. I played this game in two separate sessions after my kids went to bed. People locally have been asking as well though, so I'll see what I can make work!

Might be a bit biased here, but yes!

@@dynamc8 what are some other games you love and some that you hate so I can gauge your opinion.

Before this, I was playing Star Wars Imperial Assault which was really my only other skirmish game before this. I looked at Legion, but I'm less interested in the big armies and really liked the small squads and lightsaber duel feel of Shatterpoint. A lot of my other game experience is board games and card games like Risk (Lord of the Rings edition), Settlers of Catan with expansions. I'm really not into deck building style games or stuff like munchkin

Thanks I really appreciate it! The likes and comments always help! 😉

Anytime.

Thanks! I was very happy he was willing to come on and hopefully we can do it again soon!

This game doesn't have Thrawn, so I'm assuming your referencing the Round 2 game. That double tactic into any activation late in the game is absolutely back breaking for sure. I also tried to give my injured Unit protection this past weekend forgetting that they need to be engaged. Luckily, my opponent (Mario's son) was familiar enough with Thrawn to point that out!

@@dynamc8 I must have. I couldn't sleep so watched it @ like 3 am so could mess sth up. ;)

For sure. I saw that online as well previously and I think this game is an example of how Plo's potential can really be deflated by the lack of trooper units and force available for his activation.

@@dynamc8 who would you use instead?

My first choice would be Obi-wan/Rex/ARF. However, keeping the rest of the squad the same Luminara would be a good pick

That's why Barris is good w/Plo, she can let him get more dice so that he can probably get that free active ability, and she's a Padawan. Or he could've just played Vader1 w/Plo. But Plo activation wasnt great for what he probably wanted to do, so it would've mattered to much but...

I'm glad to hear that!

True. Maybe next video I can cover that along with ways to avoid the revenge triggers

It seems that your math checks out. I think gameplay wise, an ingress point more centered on one objective is often going to be in range of a dash for someone shoved off the objective to pop back up. Also there is more flexibility regarding where to be placed in range of the objective using that ingress point. I see the point about it not being ideal to have the ingress point in range of technically two objectives, but I think that ingress point is easier to body block people from popping up in range after you've shoved them off. Something to keep an eye on though for sure!

Yes, I'm glad I didn't play on that table. Worst for me was the hangar that had strange bulky ingress points, but also only two ingress points. That's the one I played Diego on

Oh yeah, like the ladders were poorly placed on some parts too. Playing there was annoying. In my game on that table we had to make compromises for multiple things.

Can confirm socks with sandals.

Thanks! Too bad I bumped out such a nice guy in the process. Hope you and your son had a good time

Yeah, we're definitely in a Clapback Meta over here. Though the Empire team did make it to the final now playing against Kanan/Leia

Thank you! It's from IWarGame, which happens to be having a sale right now: iwargame.net/

Thanks for your feedback. I'm trying to keep an eye on the volume issues for my future videos. I gave my next video (coming today) an extra double up on the volume so I hope that is better for viewing

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind

Thanks! Are you listening with earphones or a speaker? The volume does seem to vary based on the device and/or audio output but within a reasonable range for me

@@dynamc8 It was play on my phone without headphones. It's how I listen to most TH-cam videos. The volume isn't inaudible, but if you start your own video with the volume all the way up, then switch to another the difference is shocking.

Okay. This is the second video recorded on my phone that has been like that, so I'll try to double check them in the future. Thanks again for letting me know!

Check page 21 of the Core rules. Once deployment is complete, players choose their active stances for Units with two sided stance cards. Then after that, the first struggle card is revealed

It looks like they misplayed force push as being range 2 instead of range 3

Thanks! Happy to have you and that the timing worked so well with AMGs reveal articles this week!

Only the center objective. The "corner" objectives are range 4 from the sides like Shifting Priorities, but range 5 from the deployment edge like Sabotage Showdown. With the middle side objectives range 2 from the sides of the map, it's going to make setting up terrain that works for all 3 missions a bit difficult

@@dynamc8 oh wow, I need to make many more markings on my mat then. Oh well. Thank you!

Fair enough. I have had other people online say that as well, so I designed one with the card sideways too

@dynamc8 interesting. I havent seen that but sounds solid

Here it is: dynamcdesigns.etsy.com/ca/listing/1663196900/star-wars-shatterpoint-minimalistic

Glad you enjoyed it!

35:12 why did you push him off. You measured rex. Rex can dash shoot them most likely finish them off and push the Mando off. If somehow he fails you still out body the point.

40:57 Only one recover. It's a reactive

45:24 so mother talzin dies nothing ok!😅 Lol

Yay you did it!!

Thanks for all the feedback! Definitely some misplays while trying out these lists that I haven't played much. I like to have Maul threaten to go take back points, but you're right that I should've considered giving Anakin the target. Wasn't sure about the Force budget on the republic side, so if I didn't have to use Rex's follow up, I thought I could save the Force. Good catch on Talzin's reactive. It's an easy ability to forget, so I was trying to remind myself to use it, but it seems like an innate ability if you're not paying attention

This video only has commentary for the audio, but I see now that I have to max out the volume to hear it clearly. It wasn't like that when I was editing, so I'll have to look into that. Thanks for letting me know!

All black?

Video was all black

Okay. Maybe I need to put a slight delay between the video going live and my posts that link to it

Thanks! It's pretty loud in the room with 6 other games going on, but I'll see if I can find a good balance for the audio in the next one

Thanks! Next up is commentary for the games from last weekend, but then I'll circle back for part 2!

Just when I thought we played a clean game for once!

That Squad is next on my list, so I have a full Droid Strike team. It's definitely the one I'm most worried about, but I may worry less about hiding the magnets since it's a Droid anyway.

This is why whenever Kyle asked in our game if I was happy after placing a figure, I thought, "For now, until you show me why I shouldn't have left them there" 🤦‍♂️ The double second chance round in this game made for quite the interesting exchange

Yep! Had to break out the Line of Sight tool on the web to confirm

Good to know for next local tournament as that map was rotated in this time!

+9_Bucks Glad to hear that! I have a lot of fun making these thumbnails.

Yeah for sure. This will finally be a first Spider-Man movie where we don't see him graduate 20 minutes in. I think they'll be spending multiple movies with him in high school.

TheCapedDrewsader Thanks! Yeah, I don't monetize my videos so at worst they put ads on it and take whatever they get from that. That automatically happens with anything from Warner Bros. Others don't always claim it.

Time To: Nerd dam I heard they can take ur whole video down just for a 3 second clip even if u don't monetize

+TheCapedDrewsader I watch channels that only do reaction videos and haven't heard of that happening. They probably can but realistically it's more videos/people talking about their movie so I think it's in their best interest to leave them up.

True I guess lol

They tend to hammer down on people who have over 100 subs, then you have official partnership with youtube. But if it's over 30 seconds they take the audio off the WHOLE video, annoying as hell, which is why channels like supercarlin brothers use like 3 sec clips and images, same as sourcefed nerd, they often dub over the audio themselves haha.

I'm glad you found this informative!

yep, hehehe

Awesome thanks! Yeah I'll check it out

Np and thanks! :D

Absolutely!
