Excellent video, I appreciate that you stayed focused on the content, covered all the rules and showed what a possible invasion would have looked like. I'm learning the game so this really helps me. Extra kudos for the Hawaiian music at the end. My only question (that I need to find the answer for) is what happens if the US Fighter survives and then searches for the task force at 1 hex distance and finds them, would they get an attack? Guess I need to read the rule book more, it's a lot to absorb, but it's worth it! thanks again!

Great stuff. These are really helping me with learning the basics of the game. Will you be doing more videos?

Why did you only go through the air mission preliminary procedure for the second wave and not the first?

These are super helpful to catch all the tiny mistaked we made on our playthrough. Thanks for these!

That first strafing attack, don't you use the Anti-Ground strength not the Anti-Air (The 6 not the 7)?

The videos are great! Keep on posting, pleeease

Great video. Well done, nice presentation of the charts added to the video, especially with the mark ups, instead of shown in a camera shot.

Very good, hoping to see battle scenarios

Great stuff

Great stuff

I think it may have been instructive to do a second battle cycle w the fortress still intact

Small nits to pick: 1. In the second battle cycle, the US player can search up to two hexes out (scenario rule) so he could have searched with his LRA when the Japanese strike was incoming and may have spotted the strike 2 hexes away. The US, of course, could not have done anything about it but at least they had spotted the Japanese, they would not need to have spotted the Japanese as they entered Pearl to be alerted. 2. The -5 DRM is applied to all Japanese air strikes on the first cycle. It doesn't say that it applies only to naval targets

Skulle du kunna tänka dig göra såna här videos på svenska?

Excellent playthru videos. Thank you. Are you planning on doing any more of these?

Thanks for posting these videos, they are very helpful for those of us learning the rules. One question for you, why retreat into Rangoon? It seems that by retreating into Rangoon the Allied player is doing the hard work for the Japanese player by allowing him to pursue into the Victory hex. If instead he retreated into 5012 then is it correct this would prevent the Japanese player from getting into Rangoon during BC1?

In the Engagement rules, '2.3.1 Base Units Base units are immobile ground units that have a single step, size (small or large), an anti-air flak rating, and a launch capacity.' Do we have to fight the base as well? Does that add to the size of steps? If so, it would not matter, because it would equal three and you would have the same result.

Always after I play a scenario, I come here to see your videos. The clarificate so many rules! I hope you keep uploading new videos

If Imphal is a mountain hex, which it appears to be, the only way to enter it is through the Kohima space as indicated by P on the map: “Ground units are prohibited from entering Mountain hexes, except through a Transport Route hexside…”. Your previous videos have saved me a lot of work. This scenario I am still puzzling over. I think rule 23.1.2 is needed.

Best video of this scenario so far. Really good explained! And clarification: critical hits are only against naval units, not strafing air units. I was the same mistake too a couple of times. Also, after the air strike on the first cycle, a flak attack must be done by USA

Question… is each battle cycle a ‘mission’? Or are cycles considered part of the whole mission? At 16:28 you say you can only send in air units once per mission. I’m just trying to understand the architecture of a mission. Thanks! And great video!!!

Good clear explanation. Very clear camera as well. Constructive criticism, make sure your hand stays clear of the camera. Keep up the good work.

Nice video! However, (and I hope I am not really wrong...) at 10:20 the scenario is not lost yet. In fact, fortresses can be attacked in Naval Combat! (refer to rule 2.3.4 - second paragraph). That means you should have engaged the fortress in Naval Battle Cycle at the moment you reach the island with your task force. Your cruisers had their chances of finishing the fortress. Please, correct me if my assumption is not correct.

Excellent video! You helped me clarify a lot of questions. Please, keep up the good work. Do not hesitate to upload new scenarios and examples. You have a new subscriber

This helped me understand the rules. Thanks

Nice video. Note that critical hits only apply to naval units, not air units. Also you cannot attack air units as a group; single targets only.

Thanks for the video as I'm just learning the game. When you rolled for the bomber you rolled on the zero then four column (2 power against air/ground - 4 for the damage counter), but you didn't make the 2nd die roll of 0-4 to see if it hit. You stated that the American air unit should have survived, but it still could have been hit with a 2nd roll correct? I could very well be wrong, but I was just wondering.

Nice video, thanks

Excellent presentation! I would say a unique one! Extremely helpful for all of us working on the rules! Thanks a lot for the effort and the time devoted! Now here is a question or comment. In the first ground combat against the broken 1B you could (?) have chosen the TQ of the base which is 3. According to the rules ( 2.3.1j bases are immobile ground units which makes them combat units according to 2.2. If that holds true it changes radically the TQ differential and consequently the CRT column as well as the priority of the preceding air strike. Finally, after playing the scenario 3 times I realised the importance of TQ differential in ground combat as it regulates the column of losses and primarily of mandatory retreats. Now I believe that the Japanese air strikes should target the Rangoon 4 TQ unit hoping to break it and consequently halving its TQ. Unless it’s broken it’s very difficult for the Japanese to take the city due to the low TQ differential. Thank you again for major contribution in learning the game!

Thanks, I enjoyed it

Thanks for doing these. I have just started working through the scenarios with my local ftf opponent, looking forward to taking the training wheels off!

Thanks for the series of videos! Is it possible for you to make the chart available that shows Task Force composition requirements?

Ty for the quality work!

Excellent quality really hope you keep producing content…much appreciated!

Great video! I was struggling with understanding the rule on target identification (28.11C), as I don't think it ever explains that a "group" is determined by the attacker--you were selecting 3 ships, but you could have selected 5 or 1. This clarified that! Thank you!

Very good work!

There is an error in your 2nd Battle Cycle and the Japan Air Strike. Japan has 6 F-air units. Since none of those air units were aborted or eliminated, there will be 6 airstrikes vs the US BBs. Even though one of the Japan air units is used for Escort, that unit STILL gets to perform its airstrike.
