Wow, I'm impressed. I'm usually really not a fan of these sorts of wargames, but this one actually got me intrigued. Probably not enough to get it, but enough that I want to try it out. Funnily enough, it actually reminds me more of Watergate than a traditional wargame.
Very excited you decided to do a playthrough of this one Jon, thanks! Small slip of the tongue at 1:15 where you say the year as 1863 rather than 1683 : )
was really invested in this one & wondering if you played it out to the end? Need to know which side won!? Either way, more war game coverage please! :) :)
Around 28:00 you talk about recalling discarded troops, but say we don't have any yet. Surely the Ottomans are down 3 so far? Edit: Ah there's a difference between those and ones that need refreshing.
Hmm… Interesting war-like game. Unfortunately, to me, it seems like the actions would be so scripted. For example, Player A attacks Player B’s fortificaions and removes them; in response, Player B puts up more fortifications; (even if it is only one more); then Player A attacks the fortifications again, etc. You can see this sort of play around 35:35-37:02 in this video.
It's lower efficiency to make fortifications than remove them. Need two actions to remake 2. Only need one mine to blow it up and the structural forts die forever

Jon is the best, that is all. Need to learn a game? Hope he covers it.
100%
Indeed :)
Rodney also very good.
Watergate is our favorite 2 player game, so this looks like a good step up.
Great play through. Well explained. Ordered the game because of your play through.
Love the two player only videos! Keep ‘‘em coming!
This game looks great. The asymmetry serves it well as a head to head 2-player game. Another one that you’ve added to my acquisition list. 😅❤️
Wonderful effort here, Jon.
Love it! Thanks for covering this Jon! I hope you cover more games like this in the future.
Really interested in this one. Thanks For great video as always!

Dang, I was trying so hard not to do that! Glad you enjoyed this :)
So good tutorial. Thank you
For sure gonna get this game after watching your play through.
But I'm courious about that dice tray. It looks amazing. Link please!!!
The dice tray is amazing, and it was a gift from the person who made it. Unfortunately, they don't sell them.
@@JonGetsGames That's a shame

I didn't, sorry about that. I suspect it wasn't going to pan out well for the Habsburgs though :P
13:18 - I hate it when I get hit right in the troop deck.
🤣

During the first battle does your fortification not impact the other player forcing them to pull back troops from the front lines?
Unfortunately, it's been too long since I played this game to remember the rules enough to answer your question. Sorry about that!
I cannot get this video to work on my iPhone. ("An error occurred. Please try again later...") No idea why. I have retried it at different times.
Very strange, hopefully that sorts itself out for you.
Hope the rulebook wasn't too difficult to parse ;)
Nope, it was straightforward and I had no issues with it :)
@@JonGetsGames So glad to hear :)
