Here are a couple of small "Developer Comments: Minor fixes, what I really meant was ..." 1) At 5:37, I refer to the Anchor ports as 'minor ports', these should have been 'Minor Naval Bases' and the yellow filled ports are 'Major Naval Bases'. (These are just nomenclature errors, nothing major, but may be confusing because I had just before referred to the non-anchor ports as "Minor Ports" (which is their correct name). Note, that the PAC has graphics that show all of these. 2) At 30:18, I say “it costs '1 action point to come out of the port and then 1 action point' to move to Philippine Sea”... this should be 1 MOVEMENT point. 3) At 51:18, I say “we're going to add one carrier”, I meant 'one CA' or 'one cruiser' (which is what is shown in the video). 4) At 58:00, battle on Mindanao - I missed that the special rule for no Retreat only applies to Luzon. So, with the ground straits to Leyte-Samar and an M/M(R) result, the defending Philippine unit could have retreated to Leyte-Samar and stayed alive with a 1 Hit marker. This would have still resulted in the loss of Mindanao to Japan.
Compass doesn't provide an assessment of game difficulty the way GMT does, and there isn't a "weight" rating yet on BGG. How would you rate this game for complexity?

Thanks to both of you for this video. I'm really looking forward to this game arriving on my doorstep!
Thanks, Moe. This one is on my wish list.
An excellent choice!
🎉 this will be awesome! 😊
I agree!

Nice vassal mod ... where can I find it ? Thanks.
