Thx for the nice videos. A small observation: a game is lost by the phasing player if defcon reaches nuclear war, not necessarily the player who dropped the defcon level. Cheers!

Great work as always. Thank you for the clear and concise explanations, plus clear and illustrative visuals. Know it takes a lot of effort to put these together - very much appreciate the care and consideration.

Such a good set of tutorials. I'm about to play after not playing in several years. Thanks for bringing me back up to speed!

Excellent explanation. Your content is always of such high content. Just one small correction though: on the space race you stated that all players can earn the special abilities. Actually, it's only the first player to reach that step, and that effect is automatically cancelled as soon as the other player reaches that same step.

Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you, have owned the game for months knowing I’d love it but too intimated to understand how to play, you absolutely fixed this dilemma with your tutorial!

Great job Ben! Your explanations are clear and concise. Very much appreciated.

Brilliant work from start to finish. Love the animations you created, so organised and makes this complex slightly more simple

Brilliant, Ben. As a beginner this gives me a lot of confidence with the game. Slowing the speed helped a lot too.

Thanks for the well made videos, Ben! My copy of Twilight Struggle just came in and I’m excited to play!

Always love your high-quality clip!.. ..I've recently bought Twilight Struggle..and your channel's always been the first & foremost choice that I turn to when learning how to play a war game😃..

Thank you for these videos; they’re extremely well done and helpful.

Excellent 3-parter Ben. Been meaning to learn this game for ages. Many thanks!

Excellent videos to learn this excellent game. Thank you so much for all the effort. I play digital version of it and so many things are clear to me now.

You do such impressive work on these tutorials. THANKS !!!

Thanks for all 3 lessons. I just play the app version where everything is handled automatically. Your vids gave me the required understanding in attempting to understand and win the game after just randomly trying to play without strategy... Lol

Excellent job. The wife and I were able to see where we made rules mistakes in previous sessions of the game.

Your learning videos are very helpful. Thank you.

Exceptionally well done video just like in Pt 1 & 2!

Thank you for this series, very clear. As far as I can tell there is one error with your description of losing because of reaching Defcon 1. The rules say it is the phasing player who loses when it happens, not necessarily the player who triggered it, and the example given is of a non-phasing player triggering it to win during the phasing player's turn (8.1.3)

Just bought the game to play with my wife and watching the videos to learn. Thanks!

Thanks! I look forward to my first game!

THE standard for high production quality tutorials! Love your videos. I’m disappointed that you haven’t done a set on this game’s successor, 1989: Dawn of Freedom. Please consider doing one. Thanks!

These are so well made... thank you.

You're welcome! Thank you for watching.

seriously good tutorial, saved me, because the rulebook is a bit much

This series made me subscribe. Excellent work! That should be helpful for many new players for several years to come. It is the best Twilight Struggle tutorial I have watched. I have a question regarding the previous episode, for domination and control of a region, do you count all the countries total (battle ground and non-battle ground) and all the battle ground total? Or do you count the Non-battle ground countries total and the battle ground countries total?

@harsh-rules

For Domination you're comparing two totals with your opponent and must beat them at both. 1st each sides total of Non-Battleground countries. 2nd each sides total of battleground countries. If one player has more of each category in a region they've achieved Domination.

After checking the rules.... More battleground countries and more total countries (including battlegrounds again)

Harsh, I have a question. There is an early war card, but it is shown in player help cards as late war (name: Defectors). It isn't shown as a optional card also. I have a little mindfk in which deck I should place it. Help please

It's an early war card. The player help must have a typo. Here is a link to BGG below where they discuss it. boardgamegeek.com/thread/1625133/defectors-be-included-early-war-deck

Good video comrade ❤️ from vlad

I will start my first game this weekend, and i Have a very stupid question regarding action rounds. So for the early far, there's three turns ( right?) so 18 action rounds? each turn having 6. second question regarding the defcon status and military operations, lets say the defcon is 5, does it mean that each player need to attemps 5 coup or whhathever operations, or have a total of 5 ops point played? thanks

@JamesI88

If defcon is 5 then you need to conduct 5 ops points of military operations to not lose VPs. However, obviously if both players each conduct none, you just break even.

Yes, it's ops points played

I wish you would have been my teacher in mathematics, physics, chemistry ...(says a teacher and engineer)

During your Realignment explanation , at the 2nd modifier step "each controlled adjacent country" , you give USSR a point for controlling Afghanistan , which they dont . Is there something Im missin?

He gives USSR a point because Afghanistan is adjacent to the USSR itself (the thick black line pointing to USSR top left)

" Pakistan is adjacent to Afghanistan, and controlled by the USSR." Meaning, Pakistan is controlled by the USSR.

This game is rather complicated... 😅
