It is very tough for them; I hope you will see their victory in the future!

Ah, good catch! Indeed, this is basic COIN mechanic which escaped me in the heat of the battle :)

PS. For Robin Hood you can find some of my ideas here: th-cam.com/video/W3LEcFcExnQ/w-d-xo.html

To prawda, świetnie przeniesiona gra wojenna na komputer!

Thanks for feedback; any way to improve is good! And thank you for words of encouragement!

Thank you; asymmetry in this title really forces you to look at and play each side differently.

You will have great fun with it! Enjoy!

Hi! This is exactly the situation - the set not only sorts and stores the components; they trays can be used during the game to have all the pieces handy.

W Oath grałem dosyć mało, dużo więcej w inny produkt tej pary - ROOT. Te gry bardzo dużo zyskują po kilkukrotnym zagraniu, gdy zaczyna się rozpoznawać głębię i zamysł Twórcy.

Thanks; honestly, I had a problem with this card; however, what you say makes a perfect sense - the "Triggered Effect" has not yet happened, so it should patiently wait in France box.

Thank you Christopher! Many more materials will come - I have a blast with this game and honestly, can't wait to see the expansions!

SUper gra, która podoba mi się coraz bardziej!

@@mk20336 absolutnie tak, szczególnie na max 4os :)

@@kolosm100 I dokładnie tak tylko będę grał - max 4!

Good catch on Louisiana Campaign; I made it more difficult for me. The game is very interesting and each time tells a bit different story. The Emperor era is most wild and varied which makes for a very enjoyable play.

Hi, as for 1803 - do you refer to treaties from FCD era (like the one for Prussia)? That one is definitely removed. The Spanish one was removed due to Bayonne. As for 1805 and Russia, when looking in the rulebook at the "EMD Potential Campaigns Table" on page 17 I see in line 7 that if Russia / Austria / Prussia are all three Allied/Neutral/Conquered and Spain is Hostile, you play Napoleon in Spain (150). If there is no such card (as it is removed after victory), I do not believe you are forced to attack Russia. You need to attack Russia only if Prussia is Allied and Austria Allied/Neutral. They are both conquered so that does not fulfill that requirement.

​@mk20336 I'll get to Russia later, I'm not at home. You removed EMD treaties from the Potential Treaties. They were not in play, they never happened. They need to be in the Treaties box. Sorry for the the delay.

@@stuartauld3193 Any help in nailing down the rules is welcome!

Got it; glad we have many titles coming in our hobby so everybody can choose something. What would you your top 3?

@@mk20336Top 3 new titles or of all time?

No particular order but Arnak, CoB Special Edition, Praga Caput Regni, Underwater Cities, Terraforming Mars and Ares Expedition, The White Castle, Hadara, and (for fun with family and friends), Quacks of Quedlinburg. Stupor Mundi on BGA is a contender.

@@jpeterrich Thanks; I know several of those and indeed can confirm they are great. You intrigued me with Quacks of Quedlinburg (I am constantly looking for good games to play with my kids - 9 and 11 years old). Will check it.

This is always valid and sound decision! As for graphics - I believe this is similar to Root and couple of other games designed by Cole Wehrle, where Art was done by Kyle Ferrin.

Thanks; I concur with your sentiment - this is definitely great entry position. While Cuba Libre is probably the lightest from regular COIN, here we have a whole level lower complexity. As for trays - you spotted them well! - this is Cube4Me: cube4me.com/product/a-gest-of-robin-hood/. And I believe I removed the cardboard insert for this. More content to come!

Thanks, this is really great game; if you are interested in seeing the 3-player version, and my impressions, here it is: theboardgameschronicle.com/2024/08/26/history-of-the-ancient-seas-ii-dies-irae-first-impressions/

It was an exciting battle; first of many you will be able to see here :)

To fakt, bardzo dobrze chodzi na 1-4 graczy; przy większej ilości downtime robi się ciut za duży jak dla mnie.

To świetna gra; trzeba odrobinę przebrnąć przez instrukcję, ale potem jest niesamowite doświadczenie.

Yes, they are coming one by one. Thanks for watching!

Do not have the rulebook handy (traveling) but I will try to check once I am back

Yes it is. Kindle of advance

@@elcid894 thanks for checking.

Thanks for kind words! I love seeing the series evolving - and glad to hear you have a blast with it!

Very true; still, this is very rare in the series looking at number of installments we have.

Thanks! Those really help me to store and set-up games quickly!

@@mk20336 that's true, they really help!

You are starting a great journey with the fantastic title! Enjoy! PS. Would also be interested in your impressions and observations once you start playing.

@@mk20336 will. Off on hols tomorrow so will take rules to read. Previous pc and bpard games were too low level tracking pilots and every ton of supplies which is too much

@@mk20336 On hols tomorrow so will take some rules to read. This looks right level of detail for me as existing PC and board games are far too detailed. I dont want to deal with individual pilots and every ton of logistics

@@chrisgoddard1855 that is exactly what you can expect here. I believe level of detail is just right to depict the pacific warfare and not be too daunting.

I am glad you enjoy those videos! And of course you will get a lot of fun with this great title!

I believe you will appreciate the new mechanics which this game brings - it is well thought and I really like them. Enjoy that great game!

Hi! let me try to answer your question. The Base Game - from my perspective - is very solo friendly; I played it already three times solitaire; as you shall see, my next two materials will present that mode (soon to be published). As for the Advanced Game, which has a lot of hidden information (Spells / Blessings) that will definitely be less suitable for solo game. PS. As written above, I am also considering creation of solo scenarios in the "tower defense mode". More to come!

@@mk20336 Thanks a lot for your reply. It's a real shame such a work of beauty is not encompassing also an official solo mode. It would be instant purchase to me. It is reassuring that the basic game is solo friendly but on the other hand the full rules is where this game shines. I hope there is a way to play solo with full ruleset. It should really be the standard nowadays to include advanced bot/workflows for solo play in every single game.

There is already discussion about further expansion to the game (1-2 maps, new factions including Elves) so I hope there is a chance to get official solo rules too! Let us hope!

Hi! The Base Game is very much solo friendly and I played it already three times that way; my next two materials will show two Campaigns (introductory and first one) played exactly in that mode. As for the Advanced Game, which has a lot of hidden information (Spells / Blessings) that will definitely be less suitable. Please remember also that this is game from 2 to 6 players, so maybe you will have occasion to play in some set-up. PS. I am also contemplating creation of solo scenarios in the "tower defense mode". More to come!

​@@mk20336 uuhh the solo scenarios sounds awesome ❤️

@@Ready_to_play_by_marco Still need time to create them (have already pretty precise idea what I want to achieve) - still, they will come!

Czekam na prezentację pomysłu 😀​@@mk20336

That one is good in that dimension! I am going to present that dedicated solo mode - from both sides - soon!

What’s the best way to play Undaunted solo??

@@patgarret771 for me, it's with the Reinforcements Expansion, with its Solo Bot Cards

Reinforcements is great for the historical Undaunted (like Normandy). Callisto fortunately comes with its own set of rules and is solo ready from the start.

Fully agree! I am also glad Callisto comes with solo bots from the start. If the series continues, let us hope this will be a new standard!

That game was on my radar for a long time since its publication; I was very curious of mechanics, basic and advanced rules as well as the fantasy set-up. And I was not disappointed! More content to come!

@@mk20336 waiting for more then!

Thanks for kind words! I am trying to present wide spectrum of titles, not always only the historical ones. Still, that is a fantastic design which brings me so much fun recently!

Thanks; keeping fingers crossed for survival which.... as you will see will not be an easy thing to achieve!

@@mk20336 i just died today, because my Napoleon tried to lead his army into battle (always keep the Luck Token for this 🤣🤣🤣)

@@Ready_to_play_by_marco That one can be tough! A fantastic DRM modifier but Luck Token is crucial here!

Thank you! And glad you liked it!

Thank you David for another great game! It is astonishing how much new ideas., concept and content this installment brings. I have already played 3 scenarios with my boys and they love it!

Thank you! I believe only thing which I messed up in all my videos (and only 1-2 times) was art support for Cavalry & Detachments. Other than that - thankfully - no major issues :)

Let me check the content of my big box; need to dig it from storage first :)

Thanks, indeed, I was also very curious of the historical background. And top quality production is of course helping with getting into the subject!

What I am showing is without the sleeves, but the set (cube4me.com/product/paths-of-glory/) has both options - sleeved and not sleeved (and there is enough room to fit them in the box)

@@mk20336 thanks for the reply!

@@mk20336 with all due respect unless i did something wrong it currently does not show sleeved card boxes as an option for paths of glory on your website.

2-3 player that one will be better; however, recently I discovered even better title for 2-3 players. Check this article: theboardgameschronicle.com/2024/08/17/first-impressions-for-vijayanagara-from-gmt-games/

When I come back to this game - which happens about once a year - I am always flabbergasted how innovative it was already 30 years ago. And indeed, not having COIN on this interesting - maybe nobody wants to be compared to that classic so nobody dares?

Glad to be of help. Enjoy that great game!

Thanks; I find that particular set very helpful for Plantagenet game.

Indeed this is great game! And thank you so much for appreciating the material!

Thanks Mike for correction; and really appreciate your games!

Thanks for watching! That one was on my radar for a long time as I was very curious of solitaire title which allows you to replay the Napoleon life. More content to come - presenting how the game play!
