Another great video, despite the connectivity gremlins. Having loved Land & Freedom, this is one of my most anticipated games on P500. It was an instant back for me, and I'm really surprised it hasn't reached the magic 500 yet, but hopefully it will get there soon.
@@HomoLudens1871 I had such high hopes for ToC (own both editions), but unfortunately the history is as flawed as the design/development. I also don't think shoehorning such a sprawling multi-faction conflict into the Paths of Glory system (even a modified version of it) was such a great idea, but that's me talking with the benefit of hindsight, probably must have sounded really cool back in 2005. I hope I live long enough to see a full scale treatment that does this conflict justice. In the meantime, I'm looking forward to this new game as I really like Land and Freedom.
Thanks for a very interesting video. I wonder what books on the Russian Civil War the designer found less than useful in terms of helping understand the history and constructing the game.
Another really excellent presentation.....I think this is the best gaming channel on the entire internet!
At least the entire internet!
Looking forward to this game! Thanks for this preview and for the book recommendations.
Any time!

Me too! But it's almost there so hopefully it will reach 500 soon.
Wow, this is right up my alley. I have only played Triumph of Chaos and Reds!, both of which I find rather problematic for different reasons.
I understand where you are coming from, I believe that this game, even if a lot simpler, actually is a more interesting take on the event.

I shall order it!
You should! I playtested it, it's pretty awesome.
I cannot wait to "liberate" this scoring system for a game of my own. It is simply brilliant.
Have you played wir sind das volk 2+2, the scoring system is very similar

That's a great question! We will have the opportunity to ask him when he comes back for a teach and play.
Great
Thanks!
