วีดีโอ

I empathise with the pressure of a potential game over especially late into the campaign. I didn't want to intentionally cheat either in my cycle 1 playthrough. It is harsh and intended to be in its design. You are expected to fail in your first attempt. From the experience of replaying and getting the win, what i got was satisfaction, demolishing the big bad, having the foresight of not taking certain paths/steps The win is contrasted over the struggle and i can look back at the journey and feel fulfilled. Alternatively, yu could create save states after each major story if the time investment is too much to replay. Im halfway through my first cycle 2 playthrough and boy is it challenging

Curious if you had ever touched gambler’s chest to compare this to ATO

Having a "game over" in such a long, heavy tabletop game is an absolute deal breaker for me.

Final expansion should be more about sieges, and like special cardboard mini maps for all fortresses to play those sieges with interesting Mechanic's

Love seeing this game getting some attention! I did notice one thing. @19:40 adversary symbol does trigger movement for each symbol revealed. I think the confusion is when two are revealed it triggers it to spawn if you have dealt with it previously (rulebook pg16). there is another exception to the spawn rule outside of the exploration cards in which only one symbol will cause it to spawn if printed on anything other then an exploration card except when in a fight with the adversary itself though you may have to double check that last part. Hope you have fun! For sure some frustrating stuff can happen but I hope you get to see the high highs too! Have fun and enjoy!

Looks great and you seem into it so far. How are you enjoying the story so far? It comes across and interesting and very robust in all the marketing materials. Does it live up to your expectations?

These vids have me excited! Cant wait for deliveries in Canada!😊

is this the fantastic first edition or the spectacular second?

Hi, could you do a reboxing video? I don't understand where things are suposed to go and there is no video about it.

Playing Cycle 1: “the game is still evolving” Players in C2: “the game is still evolving” C3:”hmm, the game is still evolving” Opening expansion C4: “the game is still evolving!!!” This the nature of this game, no cycle is the same and progress during a cycle changes it as well. The only question is - will you be so invested to reach further, will you be able to see the core of the game and appreciate it. I keep fingers crossed for you, as the game is worth hundreds of other games.

I used to play the early version of TR. Some issues with it but OK. First thing I noted is A WaW is that the aircraft ranges are incompatible with history. Air ops were several times conducted at much longer ranges in the Pacific. This breaks the game for me. That and the library of forms.

I just noticed that your pursuer question on BGG has already been handled ;)

Correction: Barely two turns later I was proven wrong about the map being generic!

Great video. I love maps too. Can't tolerate a wargame with an ugly, inaccurate or disfunctional map. Of your list, my favorites, LaBataille de Dresde, Fontenoy, Wacht am Rhein are my to three. Maybe Dresde is probably my fav beause its the only CoA game that has a major city with superb art. Fontenoy is just beautiful and with the counters is evocative of the era. I like Wacht am Rhein more than any other Bulge game map. It look like military maps I used to use, and it contains so much information. I was also taken by Napoleon's Triump. I haven't looked at that in a long time, but the look with the pieces looks so much like you expect a Napoleonic battle to look from the air or on a period map of the battle. I will have to look at getting that, sadly long out of print. Thanks.

I came here courtesy of an Uwe blog post. Now I've discovered a great channel that will provide hours, days, weeks... of interest!

Ah blast from the past :D

Looks like an Allied autovictory to me. All 4 Caen hexes, 3 units on the Eastern map edge, and all beaches open. Great video series. Well done!

Great video. I only know La Bat and really enjoy the complexity. First with ML and now with Regs30. Seeing your video I will surely give BAR a try. Many thanks.

1:09:10 - Weren't those both 3-step units? They should have been reduced to cadres.

Keep in mind that you have access to all unlocked Mnemos abilities! If you reach level 2 you still have access to the level 1 ability!

What great vibes the game is giving off. Sadly, it sounds like it may not get into the hands of US players until early November. Will have to keep watching your vids until then!

28:27 - Silhouetted units alone do not receive DCBs, so it was actually 18-5 here. Silhouetted units alone can conduct a Determined Defense though, so they did not have to retreat.

20:56 - No reinforcements for the Allies on storm turns. Also, even if they had been allowed, you cannot bring 2 infantry regiments in at the same beach - 4 RP max per beach.

1:07:10 - You should replace a Wehrmacht unit with a Wehrmacht cadre (light gray side).

1:03:20 - Mechanized units cannot enter a flooded hex unless following the path of a road.

Nice, thank you for updating!

Thanks for your videos on ATO I’ve been enjoying them a lot and looking forward to starting my own campaign of it. Your model’s painting looks great wished I was a painter myself and could do justice to my own miniatures. Looking forward to more of your video updates. 👍🤗

I pretty much haven't played anything but wargames for a few years now - but I have to say that this looks so interesting 👍

You progress the game through the main story, so better to have a steady flow of progress tokens to the main, maybe divided like 60:40 on main vs IO. You will always have a time to put tokens on IO and even if not it will not hamper your campaign, and you may find yourself in dire straits if your only “progress” there is on IO and Doom card…

* Correction: I don't think I can 'dual wield' my boat maces, I think I can only use one weapon when attacking.

53:30 - You need to roll on the Jabos table for German attacks in clear weather, which could result in column shifts to the left.

31:35 - You can't use both Werfers and artillery to boost a Determined Defense.

1:27:55 - Mechanized units cannot advance into a flooded hex unless following the path of a road, and non-mechanized units must stop in the flooded hex unless following the path of a road.

You missed several opportunities for the Gemans to cancel the second hex of their retreat because they retreated into a town or bocage. This could have kept the Allies from capturing Montebourg at 58:00 for example.

Thank you for the presentation and example of play! Nice job on the minis and great trays!

54:55 - You say that the silhouetted unit cannot be the lead unit for a Determined Defense, but that is not true. The only units prohibited from this are HQ units, Werfer units, and Disrupted units.

It's pushback 1, knockback 3 (5). The Hekaton does not move while resolving knockback. It swats the titan away :)

what a cool board

39:06 - Because you had an armor shift, the attacker's loss has to be taken on the tank unit. Same for the next attack. The loss has to be an a unit that provides a shift (either armor or TQ).

1:50:58 - It looks like the three strongpoints and the Ost unit near Sword beach are OOS.

Nice! I hope you enjoy it so keep us up to date when you play and what you think :-) are you going to play solo or with others? I am waiting for my boxes to come I got split shipping but in Europe so ships are taking longer.

Speed Paints . . . I'm listening.

Where does one find 3-D print files like these? Are they publicly posted?

Pretty impressive!!! Way out of my league but I am curious how it plays.

Looks like a lot to take on. I hope you post some of your gameplay here. I have to say, though, that these huge boxes of stuff give me the cold sweats anymore. I shudder at just the thought of putting that all away when finished playing.

Hey, did you get the Last Tome Binder? Would be nice to see a video of it! Waiting for mine

Looks amazing. Looking forward for more content on this.

If you can still get them I would recommend the deluxe map tiles they are so much better than the default ones in the box, also the binder for the cards looks like it will be a great addition as well but just waiting for the Europe delivery of that shortly. I am near the end of Cycle 1 so nowhere near ready for 4 or 5 but will start again when the upgrade pack arrives. A Great game and certainly knowing KDM already was a big help learning the rules.
