I've bought this 2 weeks ago, but had no time to read the rules yet. Perfect timing for a how to play 🙂 Thx Rodney
Time to crack it out!
One of my favorite 2 player games. Thanks so much for the rules explanation Rodney!
You're very welcome!
Happy the reprint includes the expansion. More Paolo Mori games are always a good thing.
Agreed!
Simply brilliant! Your videos are so succinct and clear with no wasted words. Thank you!
Very kind of you to say, so glad you're enjoying!
That box spin was so clean.
Thank you kindly!
I’ve never heard of this game. Looks great! Great video!
Thanks Henri, this was a fun find for me a couple years ago at Essen - really nice to see it getting reprinted again!
just a great video ! ! Thank you !
You're very welcome Jon - glad you enjoyed!
Love the design and art!
Me too!
just got my copy of the game today, thanks for guiding me thru it
You're very welcome, have a great time playing!
Great video! As always
Thank you kindly!
So clear and concise. Thanks Rodney!
It's about to hit the table and then Caesar right after it!
I hope you have a great time playing!
That's pretty cool for such a large concept.
Thanks for checking it out Tim.
I'm so glad he said "fewer" instead of "less", when it was appropriate.
I do my best!
@@WatchItPlayed I am honored to receive a reply from the one and only Rodney Smith.
Kudos on the video. I love this game and with the solo variant.
Glad you've been enjoying this one!
@@WatchItPlayed I do, was waiting for you to teach this. I think I may have played some of it incorrectly. This helped clear things for me, thank you and more to see from you folks.
Hope a playthrough would show up soon.
Excellent job.
Thank you Mike!
Great tutorial as always, Rodney. I played this for the first time last night with a friend, and now having watched your video, I see we got a couple of minor things wrong. I still would have thrashed him anyway. :)
Glad the video helped!
Me and my friend bought one copy each, and we play online. I pimped the bags by attaching them the Army seals of the relevant Power.
Boy, I love this game.
I love playing the physical copies of games online. Been doing that quite a bit lately. How do you deal with the shared research tokens?
good video! i got earlier today. just played through about half a solo game before i realized i was scoring wrong (i wasn't taking in to account who was winning on the "battle track" and just giving points to whoever closed the campaign). figured i'd find a video to watch to make sure i wasn't missing anything else. much easier to absorb rules (even ones i felt i "knew") SEEING it happen instead of just reading.
i also had no idea those cardboard blind things to hide tokens had info on the inside. playing solo they aren't used so i never paid any attention to them. that'll cut down on flipping through the book as i learn what all the symbols are/do.
So glad the video was helpful!
Matching shirt as always...I love it.
Nice catch :)
Eloquent as always sir. Thanks much
Very glad you enjoyed!
Great Teach for a great game. Thanks Rodney and Watch it Played. Hope this one gets a BGG bit set one day.
So glad you enjoyed - an upgrade set for this would be great!
@@WatchItPlayed bought this game after watching this.
Man this one looks like it would be perfect for a GeekUp Bit set. Fingers crossed we’ll get that one day. Thanks as always Rodney! 😊
Good idea!
0:12 did you just happen to catch that right side up? Lol, nicely done
Every time. He does it every. Single. Time. 😵💫
-Chaz
A really solid game
Agreed!
Thanks.
You're very welcome!
Cool, Blitzkrieg. I have this game but its the first printing.
Very similar, this just has the expansion built in (and a new box shape).
Hey Rodney! Picked this game up a while ago and while I really dig the game, the rules manual was subpar.
Thanks a ton for this clear and concise explanation of the rules! Appreciate your work as always:)
I did want a clarification, though, and would appreciate your help. The bonus VPs (1,2) on the war victory point track are only obtained in conjunction with a closed campaign or theater of operations, yes? You do not get those bonuses as soon as your marker happens to land on or pass that point. Am I correct?
Hi Harsha, you'll find this all covered in detail here: th-cam.com/video/jc3N8_eAVA0/w-d-xo.html
I hope that helps!
Love this game, and glad that you have gotten to show it some love. Has this finally gotten a North American distributor?
We had North American distribution before, it's just always sold out quickly! We have a new print run just being loaded onto a boat, doubling our previous order size!
@@markcooke776 When that boat arrives, where can one get hold of a copy?
@@danshtr Depends where in the world you are! I would imagine most stores will have it as we are going through standard distribution channels.
@@markcooke776 California. I'll call my local store. Thanks!
Thought he was talking about the old Avalon Hill game Blitzkrieg from 1965
Hi Rodney! Can you please make a video on how to play the following games:
Game of Thrones - The Board Game (2nd Edition)
Game of Thrones - The Card Game (2nd Edition)
Arkham Horror Living Card Game
Arctic Scavengers & Recon
Adventure Island
Ankh'or
Ankh: Gods of Egypt
Anno 1800
They are available from other channels, but I like your videos the best! I am waiting to buy these games, but want to wait for your videos first!
Thanks for the interest! I talk a bit about that here: th-cam.com/video/EdtDuvIUa6A/w-d-xo.html&t=342
Hi Rodney, got a question for you. In the example you show at 10:04, we ran into exact same situation and we were wondering whether the battle scoring or placing another tile comes first, this can make a huge difference since the second tile placed may change the position of battle marker to the other side. I couldn't find answers from rulebook or BGG threads. I know it's been a while since you cover the rules for this game, so many many thanks in advance! Have learnt over a hundred games watching your videos😊
Hey there, since you resolve the effects of a piece after it's placed, I believe you would resolve the closed row first, before adding the other token. I'll double check with the publisher, but if you don't hear anything back it means this was correct (or I didn't get an answer).
@@WatchItPlayed thank you so much! we are ready getting back to the table:)
@@boardgameman Double checked with the publisher, and they confirmed the above.
@@WatchItPlayed Thanks!
Did they make thicker tokens and better board for this version? My board is warping like hell.
Hard for me to answer, I never had a problem with mine.
When I buy this game I am gonna go
to poland
does the original game have the solo rules?
Yes, it does, it just doesn't have the expansion included.
Just to ask too, can the game also end once all the theaters on the board are close (in other words, when all spaces on the board are covered up)? In that case, who would be the winner?
For example, if you were the one who put a token on the last available space on the entire board, would you check for points first, and if neither person reached 25 points, then would you win automatically since there no more open spaces on the board, since you opponent can placed anything on the board anymore?
@@WatchItPlayed So to summarize, you would do these steps
1. Closed out the theater.
2. Score the points for closing it.
3. Check for 25 victory points on either side.
4. If no one wins by points, then whoever closed out the board wins.
Also to ask, if gray closed out the board, scored 25 points, and green didn't but can't put a piece on the board (due to board being fulled or no pieces left), would grey win in that case?
Yes, you're correct, whomever can't place their token would lose.
@@markcooke776 You can trust Mark on the rules Daniel (he works with the company).
I know you wrote this quite some time ago, but a better answer is that if all spaces on the board are closed, a minimum of 56 points would have been awarded to the players. The game cannot be ended by one player not being able to place a token, because the end-game would trigger by points before that no matter what.
I wonder how many takes it took to catch that box with the correct orientation, or is this some kind of video voo-doo?
Are you suggesting I don't get it on the first attempt every time??!?!?!?!?! *gasp*
Can the scientist be placed on an open battle space if the campaign/theater is closed?
If the theatre is closed, all the empty spaces are considered closed.
@@WatchItPlayedThanks for the reply, Rodney. If that's the case, what about the theaters for the Nippon expansion? I assume you can go to campaigns that haven't been unlocked yet, right?
@@worm1618 I didn't cover that expansion, but my assumption would be that if a theatre is locked, than that means it's spaces aren't open.
I can play Blitzkrieg! On guitar. \m/
Blitzkrieg Bop!
Are the gametrayz ever NOT sold out?
They sold out again?
@@WatchItPlayed Haha yeah. I guess I have the worst luck in that regard. Every time I look, either at the BGG store or at the Game Trayz site itself, it always says everything is sold out.
