That fly had no chance....I picked this game up to bring on board a beginner hex and counter player and I've pulled back a bit after trying it solo. The management of the activation cards is really important and even though the rules are easy there is a depth that may not work well as an intro game. I really like this game, the cards make it a much better game than a simple counter pusher.

The Players Aid duo killing a mosquito that falls to its doom onto a player aid is officially my favorite Players Aid moment of all time.🤣

Disclaimer: No flies were harmed in the making of this video. 🤭 This game is influenced by "A Victory Lost," one of the designers' favourite games.

An excellent game from VUCA, one of the best releases of 2022!

Great stream , as always great interaction between you both. Note to all insects - do not interrupt the stream ... death will be upon you :-)

I really like VUCA products, and now I'm motivated to play this one soon.

I enjoyed this game a lot. It is one of my top 3 wargames of 2022 :)

I have this impression from watching your channel for a while now that Grant really doesn’t like to lose.

​@@grantkleinhenz6789 I think it's a good thing. It makes you and your enemy a better player, you push each other and learn from defeat. I would rather play against an enemy who tries his best and defeats me, than win against somebody who doesn't care. Of course we should all strive to be humble in victory and defeat (although I must admit I have a problem with the latter when my usual opponent rubs his triumph in my face :P ).

VUCA Simulations have a distributor in the US.

I have to ask... For a newbie. This or Salerno 43 as a first hex and counter?

Rostov '41 (it's on preorder from MMP). Might also look at 1944 Battle of the Bulge from Worthington. Salerno and Donnerschlag are totally doable, but they'd also make excellent "second" hex and counter games, as they're a step up in either complexity or strategic planning.

@@ThePlayersAid Excellent! I will check those out! Thanks

Was about to buy this but it has 9 pages of errata and clarifications. Too much

I know that this is not designed for solitaire, but do you think it would not be fun to play solitaire, playing both sides as best possible?

Like.. I guess? But it'd be mighty difficult to get the same or even a similar experience.

So are you guys getting 1914: Nach Paris for the next Guns of August? 😂

We do have it on the shelf...

Strange that no one mentioned about massive amount of errors in this game.. Starting positions are wrong, table of combat is wrong, even cards. I bought as my first such wargame because it seems not to be over-complicated but taking into account also fighting with errors & errata i would say thanks.. ;/

It is a real pity as there is good low complexity game hiding under the errors with great components. Really needs a new rulebook and fixes for cards and sadly the meaty QRS sheets.

Slate player aides, I see. Nice!
