“Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives …You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side in this country of ours. You, the mothers, who sent their sons from far away countries, wipe away your tears. Your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace. After having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.” 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
For those intending to play this game I recommend watching the Australian film “Gallipoli” if you haven’t already. The Gallipoli campaign helped to establish a national identity for Australia & New Zealand. Seven Victoria Crosses were awarded for actions at Lone Pine. The charge at the Neck, so tragic. Hope this game helps in educating those not familiar with the ANZAC legend. Apologise for my rant.
Thanks very much for sharing this! I'm getting the game to the table tonight and will see if I can find the movie for some weekend viewing. Great info. :)
Fantastic recommendation! It showed the Turks as more than straw men foes and of course the ANZACs were ordinary men doing heroic things and brought out the band of brothers out brilliantly.
I appreciate that you highlighted the 10th Btn SA while scanning through the counter sheets. Not sure if that was intentional, but it’s a noteworthy choice-on the first day at Gallipoli, the 10th achieved the deepest inland penetration of any ANZAC forces. Later on the Western Front, they earned the nickname ‘the terrible 10th,’ revered for the fear they instilled in the enemy and their unruliness towards British officers.
Oh, neat facts, thanks for sharing. I wish I could say it was intentional, but ... it was completely random. Thanks for sharing that, though, very interesting. :)
No, no problem, but TH-cam apparently deleted your earlier post. I see the notification for it in my email but it's gone now. TH-cam is kind of weird like that. It wasn't me that deleted it.
Sure thing. TH-cam's algorithms are weird sometimes. Pretty much every day it deletes something harmless. I can see the comments in my email inbox, but then when I look for them on the channel they are gone. *shrug*
Interesting approach - just one landing, instead of the whole campaign. I like it. The game looks interesting, and you know my weakness for Great war games. I have a feeling that this is going to be a very expensive game, however, so I'm thinking this won't be at the top of my wish list, but it certainly would be on my shelf if money were more available. As usual, your showing of a game has refocused my attention! Well done video, again as usual. Also: just out of curiosity, do you ever stream? Either here or on Twitch? I'd deffo make an effort to watch, if you did. (I'm sure it's easier said than done LOL)
It's actually not super expensive, and shipping is pretty reasonable. I've ordered from them before and things went well. I've considered streaming, but not strongly enough to actually do it. At some point I'll probably give it a shot. I'd like the content to be interesting, though, so not sure on what format or style I'd aim for.
I don't know, but Noble Knight might eventually have it. It might be cheaper when they get it. I've also seen their games sometimes on Amazon too, the prices might be different when it gets there as well. :)

So many lost lives here on both sides. Thanks for sharing.
Powerful words by a great statesman.
Great info. My grandfather fought at Gallipoli as a sapper (not the initial landings) so this has definitely piqued my interest.
Great to hear about your grandfather, I can see why that would increase the appeal! :)

What a stunning looking map! Love the variety of those action cards too!
It really is a sharp-looking game! :)

I like the component spread, trying something new. =)
Thanks! I like it better and the views/retention have been better with this format too. So it would seem that viewers are liking it better too.
You are bankrupting me. 😂😂😂
Haha! Sorry, but hopefully it's an enjoyable bankruptcy, at least it is for me anyway. :)
Yeah, he has a tendency to do such thing... 😂
Looks interesting!!
Getting it to the table now, signs are encouraging. :)
Did I do a no-no when I posted about Stuka Joe’s replay earlier? If so, I apologize.
No, no problem, but TH-cam apparently deleted your earlier post. I see the notification for it in my email but it's gone now. TH-cam is kind of weird like that. It wasn't me that deleted it.
Thank you. I appreciate the feedback.
Sure thing. TH-cam's algorithms are weird sometimes. Pretty much every day it deletes something harmless. I can see the comments in my email inbox, but then when I look for them on the channel they are gone. *shrug*
And there was a 3rd landing later on
Good to know, thank you!

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE OI OI OI ...........
Ha! Nice to see the Aussies and Kiwis get featured in a game, for sure. :)
🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
The Turkish forces were respected by the ANZAC troops as a brave & capable foe.
This game is too expensive, 79 USD+20 USD shipping! 😒Do you know if they will sell it in the U.S. at a cheaper rate?
I don't know, but Noble Knight might eventually have it. It might be cheaper when they get it. I've also seen their games sometimes on Amazon too, the prices might be different when it gets there as well. :)
@@ZillaBlitz Thanks for the reply and information. The game is actually 85.49 USD with 20 for delivery. :(
GMT Games will have some soon
