No high-tech video wizardry...just an inarticulate dope pushing virtual cardboard.

Celles Turn #1 Dec 23 '44 ( Night), First German action.
Thanks for the demo If a player knew they would likely only play GCACW solo, would you still recommend the series to them?
Watched your two GCACW tips and strategy vids - thanks for doing these demonstrations
Thanks for the playthrough and discussion Looking forward to seeing Last Gamble on the table
I like how you went ahead and activated the additional American unit without being totally clear on how the -1 combat modifier in a village worked Keep on forging ahead Happy gaming to you
My reading of the rules seems to say the battle chit would provide a + DRM so your roll of zero would change to a "+1" so the result on 3-1 would be no effect for both attacker and defender.
Commentary re 2nd Panzer attack/non-attack...very funny!
I think the combat tactical chit is a die roll modifier, not a column shift. I did play this game a while ago. I think, Revolution games.
These simulations, particularly at this level, are heavily abstracted. The excessive losses represent far more than just casualties and destroyed equipment-they encompass traffic jams, navigation errors, command breakdowns or losses, desertions, equipment failures, ammunition shortages, and countless other challenges (as demonstrated by the recent Russian Army’s struggles during its initial blitz in Ukraine). If you feel the Soviets are unfairly disadvantaged, you can adjust the untried ratings to a more favorable level. Similarly, to address concerns about chemical warfare, you could boost Warsaw Pact unit ratings for the remainder of the game on the turn chemical weapons are deployed-it’s all speculative anyway. Overall, Fulda Gap remains an exceptional and groundbreaking simulation on the subject.
Very cool. I have no Bulge games so I might buy this one.
Very nice series of videos. I enjoy this better than typical AAR reports. To me, the latter type tend to fail to provide a flavour of the actual gameplay.
Agreed!
Entertaining and informative video. Thx!
Nice John. I played this awhile back. Not bad for a light-weight Game.
At least the roads are easy to see!
If the Ukraine war tells us anything, the Soviets and their reluctant allies in the 70's would be hard-pressed to put together anything resembling a competent offensive. Never served in the armed forces, but from what I can tell your Soviet losses seem within reason. In the early stages of such a conflict the friction of war would affect both sides heavily.
Bringing the news that matters! Very cool.
Hey Bro, know what you mean. I have a cat too!! Pretty lucky so far, as he has not wiped out any of my games in play. I usually place a large section of cardboard over any game I have set up. Anyway I have heard that Celles is a good game. I do not own it. My fav bulge game is Bitter Woods DSE. Have a nice T day too!!
"Bad ass" is a great descriptor for the SS markers! Hmmm, a historical wargame having period accurate colors...the horror...
Why would anyone be against SS counters being black? I have never heard that one before but maybe I'm not hanging out in the same places online as you.
Ugh. I guess I’m going the way of the dodo. Really don’t like the larger counters. Not a fan of the current thick counters in the newer GMT games. Those thick laser cut ones really bug me for some reason. Another idiosyncrasy of mine is a hearty dislike of mixing large and small counters. Irks me to no end.
Interesting, should be fun to watch!
Is Piers Morgan going to return to supporting gun bans?
Simpletons complaining about black SS counters seem to have quieted down a lot in recent years.
I have no idea about anything you're talking about, but I enjoyed it!
Interesting. The larger counters, for like the Simonitch Games, I appreciate, but.... Arracourt (BCS) I gave away because I couldn't stand the larger counters for that system. I have no idea why either. lol.
I just looked at the 1/2 inch counters from Red Badge of Courage. Tiny. Wouldn't you rather have 9/16 inch counters for GBACW?
I appreciate that dislike for the large counters! I benefitted from Jeff’s disdain.
We need more vids from more people on this monster.
So it will all be vassal for awhile?
Good luck with the family stuff
Black SS is the best color!
First and last price drop...$225
Half, Did anyone purchase this yet?
Still available
@@half-assedgaming6193 would you let me know an email address to contact you?
I failed to mention that it is listed as Second Edition on the box cover
great system! first got a taste of this system with Lee vs Grant..great job of explaining what is going on tks!
one of my personal favorites as it was my first GMT game I ever bought
Thank you for making these full campaign play through videos, they have really helped me understand the game. I got SJW a few months ago your video series on that really helped me get into playing it faster. I Appreciate these immensely!
Great stuff! Gamer X movements are confusing but it is still fun to watch.
Thank you for doing these…but I think you may be a tad wacky for doing all that work!
I'm on disability right now. Got time.
Oh yeah, how’s the knee?
I forgot to mention that Jenkins did pass his F3 EM roll prior to attacking Knipe.
Still enjoying these updates…just for info that’s 2nd Panzer division not Das Reich.
You are correct sir
Help me out Mr V...at what time in the video?
WhyWhy does your counter has a white border and mine doesn’t? Great videos keep up the great work
Wow
Oh goodness, not looking good.
Im not sure why this was shown to me, but im here for it!
I forgot to mention that the SUB was given 2 fatigues and an exhaustion in the following VLOG. Doesn't alter the situation involving Farnsworth.
'promo sm' 😅
A few rules mistakes but the important thing in these videos is the narrative and seeing your reaction to the events…Keep it up.
I'll play you on Vassal
Which side do you want?
@@half-assedgaming6193 don't mind
@@half-assedgaming6193 Either. Im happy to play most times and I am ok with the rules
@@unachimba9 Live game or pbem?
@@half-assedgaming6193 just do a call should be fine
At 17:00 Now roll determined defence
The defender only "gains one column shift to the left on the CRT if all participating attacking units in the MAF have a negative TQ rating (-1 or -2)"
At 12:53 no halving rounds up.
