Hey everyone! Thank you so much for the lovely comments :) I thought I'd drop on to answer a few questions asked. - We are absolutely tweaking the grenades and the wounds of units to make them not quite a powerful - This wasn't "easy mode" exactly - but it does represent a quite early mission with limited Vril weapons, basic Nazi troops, a simple map and a straightforward objective. This will certainly not always be the case. - The variety of enemies in the Core Game alone with vastly outstretch what we have here once we're done on the Kickstarter :D - Yes, Warren really did stress me out more than the Nazis! :P Thanks again - MG Az
Will this game be available for retail purchase after the conclusion of the Kickstarter campaign? If you are not planning to sell this game after Kickstarter, will you perhaps run a "re-print" campaign or perhaps an expansion campaign? I am unable to back the current campaign, but I would really really like to support ReichBusters and Mythic Games.
Hey@@samuelkimball4101. The reception has been really good to Reichbusters: Projekt Vril so a retail version is something we'd love to do but there's a lot to work out for this. Failing retailed, a KS reprint could definitely be an option. The Pledge Manager will be open throughout January and in February for late pledges also.
Let’s plays with Warren are so damn good, he adds so much to the atmosphere, i would really love to play with him and i think he can pull to the fun level just about any game...even agricola :)))
Loved this video! So much fun, smiling all the way through it! Will defo check this out on Kickstarter and will pick up if it’s affordable! Thanks guys!
Looks like a solid game, beautiful contents, great theme. I do hope that sessions like these do come into a FAQ section for the game. This will give us official rulings on situations such as move from an interrupt and standing up, and if you don't have an item to drop does it create noise. These are the sort of things that can make a rulset that much tighter upon release. Good luck guys!
laughed my ass off on the train onto London, great looking game and over excited grown ups, what a great watch...... Even if i am late to the show, well done guys
This is now one if my favorite board game playthrough videos ever and I hope beyond hopes this game comes back to Kickstarter soon!! Great video guys!!
Only thing that I immediately see that could be negative is the post-alarm bit that could probably really get bogged down. Loved the noise mechanic in the stealth phase, and worked really well, however post-alarm it seems to add so much more dice juggling and upkeep to an already upkeep-heavy phase (move every nazi, between every player turn). If noise somehow could work some other way post-alarm, or if it could be somehow simplified post-alarm so stuff moves quicker when people shoot/throw grenades that'd be even better. imo :P
I love that the heroes feel powerful in this game. Spend a bunch of cards and clear a room of nazi soldiers. Of course it comes at the cost of cards spent which you have to replenish by spending actions. Love it. After the alarms sound it becomes a completely different game. It feels hopeless for the heroes because the enemies move after each hero activation and each failed noise roll adds even more enemies on the board. The only thing I didn't like was that grenades (BOOM attacks) are so powerful in this game. Especially the first one you used that cleared the entire central room. It just feels like a very cheap way to take out one of the bosses of the game. Instead of auto-killing everything, I think I would prefer to roll a 5 dice attack against each enemy and raise the alarm level by 1 instead of 2. Although, seeing how the enemies activate after each hero activation, I can see them overwhelming the heroes very fast so perhaps it is what's needed in this game to give the heroes a chance to win it. Overall, the game is so entertaining to watch, I can only imagine how it feels to play it. It feels very cinematic in how powerful the heroes are at times, but it seems fairly balanced - judging from this play through. I find fascinating that Mythic Games manages to make dice rolling fun in all their games. Playing the campaign instead of single scenarios is the only way I'm going to play it. Having your actions affect future scenarios is too much fun to pass. I can't wait for the KS. Mythic Games, you've done it again.
I was going to write up a big emotive comment expressing how much I enjoyed this game and what I thought. But your post pretty much did that for me. +1
This looks great. I'm looking forward to seeing the final game. I'm really happy with the French character. I am fascinated by the french Resistance and it's so good to see them get some representation in a game.
Kickstarter has come too soon for me. Too close to Christmas and the wife has talked me into a trip to Paris. SOOOOO SAD! Was really looking forward to this.
Not sure if this is game breaking but I think it might be a better idea to have the item token be generic double sided token that requires you to draw from a randomized “item card deck”. That way when an enemy drops a random item we could pull it from a bag without having to worry if it is face down or not. Having a random pile of token just laying on the table is a little cumbersome.
Just tried to play this with my group without watching this video. The rule book was very confusing and we played entirely wrong. We definitely could have used a learn to play like this.
That moment in which you like to roll dice... but don’t have the luck to wing it hahahahahaha XD I want this game! Me wants it! :D I’m going straight to the kickstarter
Will players paint their own figures or will the set come pre painted? If they are already painted might I suggest painting the bases of the enemies with an Iron Cross so it's quick to recognize enemy components at a glance?
@@OnTableTop Thank you for the response, loving the look of the game and how quickly things can become a cock-up cascade yet still feel playable and fun
Game looks interesting, and Leo is such a nice guy and always a delight when on the show! He could sell me a double copy of monopoly, and I really hate monopoly!
It doesn't seem very cooperative if players are pressured to deal with situations on their own before the enemy AI activates, like when Leo takes down all 5 enemies around the 37:00 mark. Really wish movement was carried out together in tandem. Also with the Nazi scientists, it would be great if players have to first clear the room of any Nazi soldiers before tackling the scientists. This would help create the feeling that the Nazi soldiers are putting up some form of defence to help buy the scientists time to escape. Not sure if there are enemy patrol events but it would be a pretty cool addition to have guards appear and leave again in certain places on the map
a game with "AGAIN" copied concepts from zombicide, Arkham horror and mansions of madness. I don't know if those three board games were not invented, what the heck kickstarter game makers would copy from? glad I didn't back this.
I think the second hour will change your mind. :) And considering that this is the intro scenario, I wouldn't say it feels too easy. My only worry is about the grenades being too strong. You can always make it harder by giving to heroes less tokens when you start the scenario, i.e. only 1 attack + 1 defense, or just 1 Wild. And I'm sure there will be other ways to tweak difficulty.
@@cartoon80s90s hmm, not really. When the alarm hit, and enemies started to spawn everywhere with a load of new cool looking ones, I thought right this where the challenging part begins. But it didn't, it got slightly more difficult, but they were cleaning out full rooms with ease. Tbh its not worrying me too much as it seems they could ramp the difficulty up pretty easily if they wanted and I still really enjoyed the play through. Looking forward to the KS.
@@Syko1985 l think it's because they were relatively lucky. They got their objective in the first token they flipped so they did not spend time going after the other 2. They were also lucky with their defense rolls. If 1-2 heroes go down when the rest are out of cards, I think things will be very different. Finally, playing a campaign means you have more options to consider, like going for more clues that might help you in future scenarios, and that can complicate things. I think the grenades may be too strong, but I'm certain they are still working on the balance. A house rule could be that instead of clearing the entire room, a grenade kills all enemies in a single section of the room and you roll attacks for each enemy in adjacent sections.

MythicGames how long after the kickstarter will we see this game in the shops?
@@shadowqueen1701 Hey ShadowCat, I'm afraid that's not something we can give exact details on.
MythicGames that's cool the Sergeant player so funny and the rest so logical awesome playing.

This is amazing. My favourite let’s play video by far and I’m less than half way through.
"I have found, a grenade ..." ... the sheer joy and smile on Warren. LOL
Zombicide meets Wolfenstein, meets Metal Gear Solid.
Not gonna lie, I'm watching this with a huge grin on my face
This is the best playthrough video i've ever seen for a boardgame on youtube :)
You should see the one for Legends of Sleepy Hollow .. also very good!
I love that Warren was trying to sabotage the mission with his grenades and pineapple
Let’s plays with Warren are so damn good, he adds so much to the atmosphere, i would really love to play with him and i think he can pull to the fun level just about any game...even agricola :)))
Loved this video! So much fun, smiling all the way through it! Will defo check this out on Kickstarter and will pick up if it’s affordable! Thanks guys!
As a fan of FFG Tannheuser game (sadly discontinued and forgotten) and a short-lived fan of Dust (whatever the heck happened to that franchise >

So much love for this Let's Play. I backed for Leo's laugh alone.
That part where Warren makes all the noise rolls. I imagine Sarge just kicking open the door, with a good ole Texas hey y'all
I'm in on this one, I can see myself and friends playing this late into the night, full of banter and drama + cold beer :)

Agreed, moving so many Nazi's every player turn... seems alot but the game did look fun
So much historical facts in this game.
Justin's American accent made my day.
I was not going to support... this but this play through... looked really super fun

I just Backed this game...love Mythic Games and their design choices...makes for fun exciting games
this video made me back the kickstarter project xD
looking forward to it!

Just backed this game following this play through, great looking game and sclups guys!
Love the game. Already pledged! Out of curiosity, where did you get that dice tray from? I want one!!
Kickstarter has come too soon for me. Too close to Christmas and the wife has talked me into a trip to Paris. SOOOOO SAD! Was really looking forward to this.
Man I just want that Nayzee Robot to paint.
I'm loving this... reminds me of the PC game "commandos" by eidos... with zombies. My wallet is hating me right now...

Does this gameplay represent the "refined" noise mechanics? I know there was talk about editing the way that works due to lots of feedback.

No! Don't let Sarge open any door! Just Hell No!
Man, this is the fifth time I am watching this video. This so much fun :)
Really fun playthrough. Im all in!
Great game play thanks as always

They are unpainted.
@@OnTableTop Thank you for the response, loving the look of the game and how quickly things can become a cock-up cascade yet still feel playable and fun
Summer 2020...still paintin' the minis :D
Allies super commando versus space-diabolic-wunderwaffe nazis game numer 49272639327394. It's so damn innovative...
Loving the look of this game, awesome.
YESSSS!!!!
The role of Warren played by Brian Blessed.
Game looks interesting, and Leo is such a nice guy and always a delight when on the show! He could sell me a double copy of monopoly, and I really hate monopoly!
Tannhauser 2.0, love it.

Also do we think suppressing fire should affect zombies? If zombies always activate it would make them a bit more intimidating
Nicely done!
This game reminds me a lot of V-Commandos.
Defusing sarge proved to be as much a challenge as the actual nazi spawns lmfao
that was great. lots of laughs.
Vote 4 Claymores! ^^
That was awesome!!!

Looks like a wonderful game, but the only criticism so far after a hour in, is it seems a little too easy.
It's probably the first mission. Usually pretty easy in any game.
Big red flag for me.

Was this easy mode?
I died at 1:07:37 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yet another play as the "heroic" allied forces against the "evil" nazis....Would be more intresting to play the other side for a change.
Wehraboo
That's precisely why I backed U-Boot. Makes a change to not always be the Allies.
warren looks so bored 37 mins in hahahahaha.
He just wants to see some grenade action. :)
