This was quite the enjoyable episode. I wasn't even aware they had made an X-COM board game, so this was a pleasant surprise. Also I quite appreciate how Beej is dressed, even if he wasn't playing the central officer role.
I love how this captured the spirit of Xcom so susinctly: World is a fuck, everything's unfair, light up the skies and just keep throwing bodies at the aliens until our tech catches up.
This game got a major need for good techs to get out and usable early on, otherwise you are gonna loose. You literally need salvage and tech-improvements to survive. Just like in the game.
11:04 that just kills me, i love that kinda banter x''D "I don't think your taking this alien invasion, seriously." Hey! Hey, we are the *BEST* the world could manage. We're fucked!
1:05:46 (missed a ufo in orbit?) Seems suuuuuper easy to do w/ the time restriction. 1:06:44 ayyy chat gotcha :). 2:52:46 I used to hate potato salad, until my wife's recipe turned me around on it. There is good potato salad out there, I promise ^^;.
As much as Ian is wearing a scientist outfit in the video, I would presume yes. Cam is the Commander of the game, so I think he would have at least thought of wearing it beforehand.
Yeah, except Ben is Bradford, Ian is Shen/Vahlen, Beej is "the Commander," and Cam is a... Squad Lead? I miss the old days where cam would play 12 hours of Xcom as the Cammander.
I see, I started with enemy unknown since the original games were before my time in gaming. You still have to appreciate that they try to follow the game in the aesthetic sense at least.
This made me so happy, I sent you guys the game because I could just see how well it would go. Glad I was right!

Video just sold me on the game. This looks stressful in the most fantastic kind of way.
Imagine what an XCOM Legacy board game would be like...
Probably a mountain of corpses. XCOM legacy would be a bad idea given it's innate difficulty.
I always liked the fact that the tutorial in the PC game permakills 3 out of 4 members of your squad. Makes for the perfect welcome.
You go from XCOM EU to XCOM 2 within the span of several weekends.
SHUT UP..............and take my money😍
LOTS OF MODELS AND STICKERS
Would love to see that happen

Just waiting on the shot which has a 95% chance to hit... to miss.

Game 2 starts at 1:53:13
This was a tense tutorial.
Long live the Cammander!

3:06:00 Wow that was an epic research round. Running that lab like a *boss* ! Great skills of a scientist. :)
2:52:00 That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage!
I have that exact same wormwood dice box. Mine is part of the dice tower set.
this had me literally clapping when stuff went well for the team
Why did they keep getting troops when ufos were piling up and they didn’t have enough?

Cam is wearing a shirt like bradford - was that intentional ?

+DrendarMorevo - Same. The sub-list for having a soldier in the game was the best. ^^
I see, I started with enemy unknown since the original games were before my time in gaming. You still have to appreciate that they try to follow the game in the aesthetic sense at least.
Your final score in the first game was -54.
Your final score in the second game was 87.
If you think this game is hard, you havent' seen its expansion played. ;-)
