I just got a copy of the core set, which wasn't easy to find. One of my favorite alt-history ideas. Thanks for the run-through, it gives great inspiration for new players
When I saw the opening frames my first thought was 'Airfix Moon Landing'. I wasn't surprised when you said it was 1970 setting as the suits looked that from era. BTW the new Airfix model has 16 astronauts for under £30
Need more space lasers a la Moonraker. Actually, no, marshmallow shotguns and the Rock Hammer of Soviet Justice will do just fine! Cracking fun, Jay is such a fun opponent.
Ash is responsible for me spending so much money on games. This is Not a Test, Last Days, Lunar, Scrappers, Zona Alfa, Gamma Wolves. Just to name a few. I love that he supports games and companies beyond 40k/GW but damn is it bad for my wallet.
Ash propably you have somewhere some moonscape craters from Games Workshop those would fit perfectly to create some moon scenery. As well some moonbase that would be perfect. Great game! We need more Jay in your games :)
And now a few words from Nasa sponsor Victor Kiam from Remington.... "Unlike the rough surface of the Moon, Remington keeps you smooth not matter if its work or play"...
i remember when i was sitting in the lounge and some ones rolling dice and i say what you doing and they say probability while rolling what they think is a d6 and i say that's a d3.
In space, no one can hear you scream "Noooooooooooooo!!!!" Side note: Out of everything in this game, an American astronaut totting a shotgun around on the moon is the most believable. It is so American it hurts.
I'm reading the Apollo Murders by Chris Hadfield right now and before the murder has even taken place I know who did it. It was Ash... With a god damn meat cleaver on the moon.
I think the game's website says about an hour of play per game. I would say that is probably about right too for a group who have played a couple times and have mastered the rules. With the small model count of a 3 vs. 3 on a 2 foot square (60mm x 60mm) board it should be easy to keep it quick.
“I want to see what blood splatter looks like in zero gravity, that’s the experiment we are conducting today”. LOL!
Great game guys, I'd like to believe that the Nooo! was shouted over an open mic leading to rumours the moon is haunted.
9:51 "They're just D3s, and we don't know it." 🤣🤣🤣
I like the Exertion/Recovery Mechanic in this game.
Jay: "So then I started blastin!"
"Your hubris is astounding." That made me lol
This makes me think of the For All Mankind series on Apple TV. Really excited by this game and the minis!
Three misses in a row...awesome...truly awesome! NASA may want to consider being sponsored by Benelli
Wonderful fun indeed.... nice to see Remington funding Nasa...

7 minutes in and the game sells itself.
Iron sky! I had forgotten that movie. Great game thanks
This game is so delightfully bonkers

Do you have a link by chance?
7:11 Jay is a living legend.
Haha! YES! I love all the minis, the game, the terrain. But all that can be bought but a great player is the most important. Jay is a legend!

It's so good to see Jay back on the channel. You guys are like the Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor of tabletop gaming.
Great episode! I’m never disappointed in Jays subtle tactics and epic dice rolling: )
Thanks you guys🎉✌️🇨🇦
This game is on my radar now! Awesome video with lots of laughs! Go Oleg!
All they need are sponsor logos on the minis like NASCAR drivers lol
Best part of this video - the fun being had!
YES! A campaign!
Lmao! Those first 3 shotgun shots. The hubris!
Lunar is such a delightfully bizarre idea.
Omg. 7:21 and I am dying. The whole bat rep is now worth it to see that.
Jay and ash’s videos made me buy the legends of the old west rule book, I have a sneaking suspicion that these videos will make me buy Lunar.

I'll definitely be getting this game
Ash you could use your crystals from grable cast as mining tokens. They look cool.
And now a few words from Nasa sponsor Victor Kiam from Remington.... "Unlike the rough surface of the Moon, Remington keeps you smooth not matter if its work or play"...
Cue Benny Hill chase music on turn 5.
The cosmonauts: "why is the American shooting up into space?"
" I'm escaping to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by capitalism... space!"
i remember when i was sitting in the lounge and some ones rolling dice and i say what you doing and they say probability while rolling what they think is a d6 and i say that's a d3.
You need to crush those dice.
I want more!!!! Haha
You know this is an alternate universe when a NASA team is sponsored by Remington (b/c they're bankrupt).
Love this game, pretty sure the moon isn't seismically active though...
Yo, this game is pretty awesome!
I roll like that :)
In space, no one can hear you scream "Noooooooooooooo!!!!"

Soviets had shotguns for when they crash lannded in the wilderness.
Triple Barreled shotguns!

Sam and I are reading it too!
Late to the party here, but just looking into the game now. Is the vid length indicative of typical gameplay time, ~30 minutes?
I think the game's website says about an hour of play per game.
I would say that is probably about right too for a group who have played a couple times and have mastered the rules. With the small model count of a 3 vs. 3 on a 2 foot square (60mm x 60mm) board it should be easy to keep it quick.
@@halflingshoard Thanks.
That's a bit long for such a low figure count. I'm hoping it could be streamlined down to 30-45 minutes.
You can tell there isn't a Canadian astronaut in the crew because you didn't model anyone carrying a guitar. Tempting, no?
Recall Jay and his shotgun, asap!
Come on Jay, you can win this for all of us! USA, USA!! Also, I'd trade those ltl rounds for fucking 00 buck my guy.
Belters!
How come you're not using the handy little clips to track health and ammo? Do they damage the cards?
If it wasn’t 80 bucks for the starter set I’d play this
Those rolls…oof
USSR! USSR! USSR!
