  • Ben Harsh teaches ho to play Star Wars Imperial Assault - Basic Rules. In a future, video he will teach the additional rules for Campaigns and Skirmishes.
    RULE CORRECTIONS
    Line of Sight
    - Line of Sight is drawn from the Attackers space corner to the corners of the targets space.
    Blast
    -The attacker can also be damaged by Blast if they's in the damage radius.
    Cleave
    -The next target also receives damage without defending. There is no New Attack.
    Reach
    - Weapons with the Reach ability must have a clear line of sight.
    When I say "Speed Points" I meant to say "Movement Points"

    For Line of Sight, (@37:00) Page 6 of the rules says you choose one corner of the attacking character and from that corner you need to "see" two corners of the defending character. Not from the center of the attacking character.

      @@harsh-rules line of sight is really impossible to determine, since what happens in everything is in a single line - are that two lines that can be drawn, or not... there is an online tool as the source of truth. IMHO, rules as written are unplayably bad for that. And that comes from me as a 25 years of experience TTRPG veteran.

    Fantastic video! The images, animation, and thorough explanations were all top notch! Although there were several "how to play" videos available when I searched, it was a no brainer to select Harsh Rules. :)
    Minor quibble. At 43:55 I'd like to point out that "die" is singular and "dice" is plural. So you have one green die or two green dice.

    Awesome tutorial! However one thing you could have added there was that during Dialas attack, he could have used the leftover surge to heal. Since She did not have any strain on hear, she can use the surge to recover 1 strain, which means she would recover 1 health.

    Another beyond impressive tutorial. How long does it take to make videos like this? There's a lot of work involved, I imagine.
    Some of these board gaming companies need to scoop you up and pay you to make videos like this for their games. Their worth to folks who learn visually is invaluable.

    • @harsh-rules
      @harsh-rules  6 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Each video can take a week or more to produce. The state of the rule book is a big decider. Also the game components must be scanned, diagrams designed and built, animations worked out, script writing and recording, etc. It IS fun though!

    • @noobaramascalemodeling7482
      @noobaramascalemodeling7482 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have another question! What software do you use for these tutorials? Regarding animation and everything? Adobe Premiere, After Effects or something else?

    • @harsh-rules
      @harsh-rules  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I use Microsoft Powerpoint. It's not sexy, but it does most of what I want. (The lack of a flip animation for things like game cards is pretty aggravating though!) I've been looking in to try out Adobe Premiere. The problem I run into is that Adobe products always seems sluggish to me. They're powerful programs, but sometimes I need to move very quickly and Adobe programs can just drag. I can get a lot MORE work done on simpler programs so it's hard to justify switching to something more cumbersome and system intensive. That's just my opinion. Some people wouldn't work with anything else. Nothing wrong with that. I just don't use enough of the higher end adobe functions to justify the loss of productivity on the simple stuff. Most likely it's a "Me" problem rather than an Adobe issue.

    • @noobaramascalemodeling7482
      @noobaramascalemodeling7482 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great comment! I understand your problem, but if you are capable of doing a presentation like that with only Powerpoint, then it is not a problem at all. I totally forgot about Powerpoint. Back when I was in high school we used to do these animated presentations all the time and it was simple too. It looked good and was not so time consuming. Thanks for your advice on that, will definitely look into PP again if I will make some tutorials on my channel.

  • @Guennikolode
    @Guennikolode 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    found 4 errors, can you confirm:
    1) You said that you can use one or another surge of your weapon. I think you can use both if you have enogh surges (at the end you make it correct)
    2) The first stormtrooper can move twice and reach the door
    3) line of sight: Starting positions for the "lines" is on any figures field's edge, not from the figure's or field's center....
    4) i think the blast ability would also cause damage to fenn in your example, or not?

    • @g0tth
      @g0tth 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      yes, fenn would blast himself, cause adjusted fields are diagonally aswell.
      and the trooper can move twice, but shoot once.
