This is a REVISED video. This video corrected two mistakes pointed out to me by danieljdm9519. It is such quick and precise feedback which allowed me to make this version. Thanks, Daniel!
Wow - that was fast! And thanks again for filming this - I've been looking for a detailed overview of the game ever since learning about the system last month. This is a very clear look at how the game plays.
You are the best, Jose. Seriously. I noticed 2-3 kind of minor mistakes, which were pointed out below, but this was mostly a crystal clear demonstration of the game. This system is different than anything else I’ve played, so watching this really helped me with some of the rules where I was unsure. I think it’s an extremely interesting take on Napoleonic campaigns, and not difficult to learn once it’s explained. I’m just starting to scratch the surface of this one, but also definitely interested in future volumes of this system.
Thank you, Michael. After loading the revised version, I still noted a couple of mistakes. It’s a very innovative design, which is why it called my attention. Looking forward to more Napoleonic campaigns with it. Cheers!
Nice to see you again Joe! .. A very interesting game, on a campaign that is perhaps not top of everyone's "to play" list. Incidentally it wasn't lost on me the acronym of the game's title: BEE. Now where have I seen that before....?
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the rules, but shouldn't you be deducting the gray point totals when the Mamluk forces are eliminated and not the Ottoman? Also, the battle at the 48 minute mark, the Mamluks have a commander, so you should be rolling on the 3rd row down for a 15 instead of the 17? Also, the reroll at 39:40- shouldn't the glory come from Kleber and not Napoleon? Thanks!
You’re right: (1) I should have deducted Kleber’s glory at 39:45 and not Napoleon’s; (2) the Mamluk force at 49:00 had a commander and I should have used the Commander row with a loss threshold of 15; and (3) I deducted 8 Allied VPs for the Mamluk loss of Cairo, when it should have been only 4! Go figure: the Revised version needs a pretty hefty revision itself! Thanks for the corrections! Cheers!
@@cjazerjay Thanks, wish I caught these mistakes before. It’s part of the perils of playing, filming and narrating at the same time. Curiously, I have developed a way of playing and filming, followed by later adding the narration, which will be the format I will use in the upcoming video. Thanks, again. I really appreciate you going through the entire video. Cheers!
@@Harkwind Fortunately, the storm turned north before entering the Island. We only received heavy rains for a few hours. Thanks for your thoughts and best wishes. Cheers!

Thanks SJ for the quick repost!
You’re welcome!
Stuka Joe, so good to see you back broadcasting. Great demo.
Thanks, Pete! Clearing the backlog. Doing great. Hope you are fine! Cheers!

Thanks, Ray! It’s a campaign that doesn’t get too much attention, which is one of the reasons it interested me in the game. Cheers!
