This is awesome I am going to know how to play before I open the box! Well done. That end of month step must feel like two steps forward and two steps back. I l ike that his is an up hill battle.!
General Curtis LeMay...a couple of points. First, he held the rank of 4-star longer than any man in American military history, 14 years. Second, he was Barry Goldwater's 1964 Vice Presidential candidate..and when LeMay was asked why he wanted more ICBM's, he stated ... "I want to see the rubble dance." This almost certainly cost Goldwater the election in 1964 to LBJ.
Would not the OTS tactic be completely negated by the Lufftwaffe pilot having that trait as well as his commander?..As should the FG...Yet you gave the high escort a fast designation as well as+3 modifiers..shouldn’t both lose any modifiers ! Thanks
@@jedyman I expected the incendiary bomb to hit as well. I couldn't find specific mention in the rule book indicating that incendiaries are affected differently by AtG modifiers, so I would assume the total modifier would apply as usual. However, if it's the case that the AtG +2 that is shown on the target card only applies to "normal" bombs, then the total AtG would have only been a +1 and thus, a miss. Until I see an official rule stating otherwise, I'm going to treat incendiaries as any other bomb and apply all modifiers. If nothing else, it's one less rule to keep track of :)
I have watched all your B-17 videos. Really enjoy them and learnt a lot. Can’t wait for the next one. What video editing tools you use? The results are amazing and really helps to clarify what’s going on in a very easy and simple way.
Thank you, Pablo! I'm glad these videos are helping. I'm using Sony Movie Studio Platinum 13 which is an older version but does everything I need. Been using it for years. I use a licensed version of Bandicam for taking screenshots in Tabletop Simulator. Also, Photoshop CS (VERY old version, 2003) for transparencies and general touch up. More videos coming! ;)
This made my decision for me. I wants this game.
That's great! I think you'll really enjoy it. There's a lot to do, lots of campaigns. It's definitely my favorite Leader series game.

this is brilliant, thank you. Your skills as a teacher are outstanding.
Hey, thanks so much for the compliment, aluckyman! 😁
Your B17 videos are a great resource. You should charge by the hour LOL. Just got this game and I feel like I already know the rules about 80%

you are the best teacher!!! ;)
Thank you, Tosatti! You are most kind. :)
I did not know you could save unused bombs!

why the incendiary bomb does not hit the target ? 09:50
The bomb hits on a (modified) roll of 7 and I rolled a 4, so it was a miss.
@@pdex2165 on the incendiary bombs we do not count the +3 modifier is that correct?

The Incendiary ROLL was a "1", modified to "4". In the previous video, PD stated that he would only show the modified results to save time.
