    NT has been taking dust on my shelves for more than a year now... your video is giving me the courage to finally get it on the table.

    Fantastic explanation of a daunting but brilliant game. Its a shame that it is not more appreciated. Please do continue with theses clips, its so much easier to explain the game to new players in a concise manner.

    Amazing video!!!
    I want to add some rules that were not mentioned (I think...)
    Regarding tie-breaking (at 16:40): "If the result is zero and the defending pieces are blocking the defense approach, the defender wins." (EDIT: This is mentioned in the video description, sorry!)
    Regarding morale loss (at 22:30): "(only) The LOSING army in an attack (as either the
    attacker or defender) loses one morale point for each strength point it lost in that attack"

      I'm puzzled by the qualification: if there were no defending pieces blocking the approach then there wouldn't be an attack, just a retreat?

    This was fantastic. I wish you were in our game group! This was a big help remembering how to play. Well done.

    Great video. I suspect there's a brilliant game here, but dang, it's difficult to grok. Not so much what the actual rules are, but what are effective techniques for attacking and defending. I tried this a couple times with a friend, and I had no idea when it made sense to put someone on an approach, or to retreat, or to commit to battle, or anything. I would love to see a series of videos taking us through a sample game, where you narrate each move and explain what each player decided and why, and then actually resolved them. In other words, an extended example of play. Incidentally, "corps" is pronounced "core" as in "apple core". And Davout is "dah voo".

      board games - A pretty difficult one to learn... I hope this will help! Let me know what you think of the game when you get through a few!

      @@bgbbq98 I learned it years ago and tried to solo it but got bogged down in the details. It's so different from every other war game.
      Quick question, I assume retreating after an attack threat or the mandatory retreat after a defender loss requires the same process. This is -1 per infantry in reserve, calvary or infantry on a different approach, (artillery destroyed always, calvary in reserve no losses) if across a narrow approach and the same for wide approach except its -2? And then all defenders detach if necessary and move into adjacent friendly or neutral reserves?

    • @boardgames9950
      @boardgames9950 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hurm. Now that I look closely, I don't think there are retreat losses applied after a battle loss...you only apply the above process when retreating after an attack threat...

    • @bgbbq98
      @bgbbq98  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      board games - I evidently left this open to some confusion (listening again I can see why!). Units which were used to defend would not take losses (which in my example would have been the corps in the reserve), but the other units in the locale which have to retreat with them (those blocking the non-attack approach) would still have to suffer retreat losses. These are on top of the battle losses suffered by the units which had defended in the reserve.
      But, you’re right. The way I said it left it open to think that the units in reserve (defending units) and the units blocking the other approach both suffer retreat losses. Sorry for the confusion!

    • @boardgames9950
      @boardgames9950 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@bgbbq98 Ah. So in all cases, there are battle losses and then you resolve retreat losses if applicable. And the retreat loss rules also apply to any retreat, not just those after a battle...?

    Forgive the note, but "corps" is pronounced "core" or plural "cores," and "Davout" can be said "Davoo." I've heard Bagration pronounced "Bag ra tee on" and also "Bag ray shun." French and Russian names are troublesome to an English speaker :)

    Nicely done. I regretfully do not own this, but I have Guns of Gettysburg which seems similar.
    PS, Welcome back! Thought you two quit making videos for some time. Or that Fire In the Lake's rulebook swallowed you whole.

    • @bgbbq98
      @bgbbq98  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mathieu S.L - Haha it would have been pretty plausible that we got swallowed up by Fire in the Lake indeed! In this case it happened that we were on a family vacation and when we were back this one took quite some effort to put together. I also have a new audio recording device that I was getting setup/playing around with. Hopefully everyone will appreciate the much cleaner audio though!
      I do have a academic paper I will be attempting to progress to completion this month so there may be another brief intermission but then I hope to be a good regular again :) Stay tuned!

      This game has long been out of print. However, Histogames of Germany (Friedrich; Maria), appears to have acquired the rights from Simmons. It is being reprinted and due out in time for Essen Spiel 22 in October.

      Daniel Mckeon - This would be a long ways out unfortunately! I’ve been on a bit of a hiatus due to my board games having been packed away since June (we bought a new house). We are still in renos and expecting a Christmas baby so video creation has taken a back seat. But it will be on my list if I find I can get back to doing some gaming videos eventually. Thanks for watching and your interest!

    Your explanation of the rules was excellent....the rules themselves reawlly turned me off...wildly convoluted and gamey , not really seeming to mirror anyting actually having to do with linear warefare
