    Great video and I know it can be tuff to cover everything. I would like to comment on terrain. Shooting is based on line of sight. A lot of your shooting has a wall in between units. If a unit is within 1 inch of the wall I could see them shooting over it at a unit in the "open". But when your units are so far from the wall (1 inch or more) why don't you apply cover to the "to hit" roll?

    Could have been explained more clearly though appreciate the time and effort it took to post the video. Should have explained that the recipient gets to call "down" when responding to being shot at providing they had not moved this turn to achieve a -ve modifier to be hit (remembering to remove the command dice from the bag for that unit), also saying lets assume we rolled a " " simply added to confusion rather than a simple walk through. When damaging on a non six roll it was not explicitely explained that the defender gets to select which model should be removed which would have made more sense when going on to explain what happens when the kill roll is a an actual 6 followed by a further 6 permiting the firer to target a specific figure. Not a major issue but as this was a tutorial it could have been clearer. Note I am not an expert but then I am not posting a tutorial. Hope this helps.

    At 12:16 in your HE discussion, you say the unit should receive a pin. But in this case, doesn’t’ the unit take D3 pins, as shown in the HE table that you showed a few moments before?
    Also, you then mention that a morale check can occur if the unit is reduced enough … my question is, does that morale check happen before or after the pin[s] are added? (Maybe the pin[s] should have been added after the “hit” occurred?)
