I saved up money for chores to buy this game. And when I got it, I'd play it with my dad. Such a fun experience!

finally found a buddy into m44 and starting playing through the scenarios. Very fun game, we both cheered on the last roll

Artillery doesn't ever get the volumes of text that infantry, armour and air power gets, but it has time and again proved the be the decisive component in battle. "A battery of field artillery is worth a thousand muskets. William Tecumseh Sherman"

It certainly is more approachable than something like Axis & Allies. Just got this one for Christmas 2020, can't wait to get someone to sit down and play it with me. Nice vid, thanks for the quick run down.

10:37 - The card says that tanks must stop, but can attack when moving into barbed wire. It is clear from the card that tanks can not keep moving after hitting barbed wire that turn.

I've never looked at buying a board game for a long time, but this looks both amazing, simple and unlike Risk and Monopoly, not to long!

I’ve watched this video a couple of times to recap and that candle bit makes me laugh out loud every time!

One rule that you forgot: since the scenarios are asymmetrical (and some are deliberately unbalanced for historical accuracy), it's recommended to play a scenario twice, with players swapping sides, and then using the total scores to determine the overall winner.

Something I was made painfully aware of after playing on boardgamearena, barely squeezing out a win on one side and then seeing my opponent crush me after the swap like that was supposed to be easy haha

I remember my first time playing memoirs 44. I remember playing as the Germans while my friends played the Allies during the Omaha landings. First turn I managed to snipe their tank divisions with artillery, crippling their right flank. It was hilarious seeing the abject shock and horror in their faces when they realized they had lost a full force of tanks before the battle truly started.

Candles create ambiance, duh.

I just got this game, thanks for the video. It almost seems like it's too easy, like I'm missing something. Good to know about the inability to retreat results in death rule.

Thanks to this, I'm really excited to get my copy in the mail! Can't wait to play it

So is there no way you can just Photoshop Praul in? Like a sort of Anakin's ghost. I miss his whimsy. His stinking, stinking whimsy.

I just bought the game after watching this video. Thanks! Great content

So why was the candle there in the first place? Just asking...

Retreat because of Flags can be countered by support in the original version, has that changed in newer printings?

Just bought the game can't wait to play

I love cool dice too; I love when you did that ha

So, you win based on how many dead soldiers you keep as trophies...?

Where can I find that particular set you’re using

Reminds me a lot of panzer general online. Funny how the german artillery looks like pak guns.

If you like Memoir '44 please try Commands & Colors Napoleonic's or Ancients. Same system just different historical periods.

Great video. I bought Memoir 44 with several expansions over a year ago and have yet to open them. I have been waiting for an opportunity to play with someone, but to no avail. I'm about to play solo. It looks like it would still be fun.

Can this game be played solo?

Hopefully they reprint it. I want the equipment pack and backpack.

Sooooo movement of units is ordered by command cards ?

Thanks! Now I can play with my son!

this game is beautiful painted.

Awesome game!

Still great

Why didn't you move the candle instead of continuing to awkwardly avoid hitting it?

He needed the flanking candle card. Sometimes, that's how the battle goes.

how does damage against artilerry work? both infantry and tank dice work against them?

Only the grenade works.

Quick question. If I only have one infantry unit do I still get to roll the same amount of dice as if I have all of them?

This game looks great, but I'm glad that I saw Battlelore 2ed first. That game is like the next evolutional step of these rules.

I have a huuuuuge question. You see, usually my brother and I fuss about terrain rules. Recently, we argued if it was possible for ANY unit inside a terrain hex to attack outside (for example, an infantry unit using a town as cover while actually attacking outside). It started off because of town rules, since tanks are limited by two when attacking from the INSIDE and OUT of the town, making my brother think that tanks are the only units who could attack inside the town. In summary, can all units ALONGSIDE tanks attack from within a town towards the outside? or are tanks the ONLY unit who can attack inside a town?

Infantry attack from inside towns with no penalty - unless they try to shoot into another town or forest or whatever (which gives -1 die). Tanks get a penalty for shooting inside of OR into forests and towns. (-2 dice) Artillery never get reductions.

WHY is this candle even here ? Bystander: Hold my beer while I take Stalingrad.... LMAO

You are the most entertaining person that does boardgame reviews..keep up the good work !

Oh Quinns. Many dice, one die. I'm never sure when you're joking though.

When you play Memoir'44 with your girlfriends father and now just by looking on the boared which moves you have done to win on both sides. I love this game

But can I play with 4 people with the base set?

You can with teams of 2

Nobody mentioned that shuffling the deck well goes first and is pretty hard. After that you can setup, by first placing single unit per hex.

Just got the "Eastern front" expansion. So when the Russians fight the Finnish, you use German units, right?

Who do tanks get more of a penalty when firing into forests?

\hello mister. you are talking bout a nonscenario at eight fiftyfifvve seconds. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\ because thats not possible to get in a real game in that position/ due to the range. capiche? vern nice video anyway. exciting game. cant wait to buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1! "D

Played it today and loved it! Sword beach or something. This video doesn't do the game any justice.

Set speed to 1.5 - You are welcome

Um... Just played. Game was over too quickly. Defensive dice would slow it down. Too much fun to be over so soon.
