    Thanks for the video. I just ordered the book and boxed components. Once the components are punched, will the book fit in the box with everything?

    Yes it will! I used a thin counter tray and it with the maps and book fit-a bit tight but good. A full size counter tray would be too thick.

    The site I ordered thin counter trays from was: Cube4me. This is in Poland so it took a few weeks to get, but, they are perfect for Historic Wings games.

    Interesting to see the balancing of risk with 6th Sense - best for dodging threats from MiGs, but also good for event rolls - so that's a cool choice, risk the bad events or save the 6th sense for jet fighters? You use them a lot in event rolls.

    Lately, my missions have gotten more challenging, and I've had to use some for maneuvers. Trying to build up my pilots for the tougher ones to come.

    A first-class mission play-through video! This is a great how-to video on the game! In short, MiGs and missiles aren't your only challenges in this game. To answer his question -- the VP values listed at each Waypoint apply exactly as written, even if you are overflying the location twice during the operation. You will see if you look at the Missions that the VP values vary sometimes from the first pass overhead in one direction and the second pass in the other direction. There is always value to found in PR and SIGINT capture, even if the passes are only an hour apart. In other words, you did it right.

    For reference, this game can be played just in a notebook, writing out the results or, if you wish, you can make your own counters and maps -- or you can buy the boxed set. The "MAG-23 system" is very flexible. A follow-up wargame book, an expansion game, is being prepared -- MAG-14 Guadalcanal -- which will be in a boxed set only; it continues the story with the Marine Air Group that replaced MAG-23 in October 1942. I hope to have that published by the end of the Summer.

    Caleb, I haven't done a vid on the two-player version. This game essentially, uses the same combat charts that you are already familiar with in the Hunters. The U-boat player would patrol the Atlantic (only) from French bases starting in Feb 42. He is in a type VIIC boat. The Allied player then plays the game normally with any encounters of U-boat or wolfpack involving the player. There is also a 2-player game (Allied-German) where the German player controls all the U-boats encountered. He secretly records the approach sectors and then engages using his own range and attack decisions. Finally, there is a 2-player Allied-Allied game.

    Holy crap...you're just zipping through the charts and rolls and it took you 35+ minutes. I was having a helmet fire trying to follow along (I had to pause and rewind several times). Add to that a Wikipedia detour to figure out why a Town Class Destroyer gives you a minus 1 on the B-4 Attack Chart. Does that particular historical scenario start where you encountered the single U-boat or will the player have progress through each transit point? Thanks for making these videos.

    hey sorry, I tend to be fast when I know the game well. Plus, I'm very new at creating these vids. You start from the home port, I just wanted to show the first encounter-to try and reduce time of vid. You roll normally but there are NO wolf pack encounters-treat those for no encounter.

    @@chrisschall5834 No worries, I genuinely enjoyed both of your AS videos. I was simply curious if Greg had built specific historical scenarios that start somewhere other than a port. If you encounter more than one Wolfpack on a crossing, it could be a challenge to keep track of each U-boat attack and merchant ship's fate. Not suggesting it won't be fun, but definitely be a challenge requiring me to use a legal pad or homemade score sheet. I do that with NFA since I'm not well versed with Vassal. Looking at the Tactical Display, I notice there are black arrows coming from each green Escort Box. Escort Box C has arrows pointing at Approach C and up toward Approach A, but Escort Box D only has an arrow pointing to Approach D. Is there a limitation on an escort in a given Escort Box (say H and I ) from prosecuting a search/contact/attack another side (opposite or adjacent side) of a convoy? I've watched both videos and noticed you often take an escort to help on an adjacent side but wonder if there are less than obvious requirements (such as must be in the most forward Escort Box) to lend assistance. And are there situations where the escorts are attacked by U-boats?

    @@robeyprice320, you can engage with any escort anywhere--up to you. You get penalized for the escort moving however. Also, there is a slight chance on the combat tables that the U-boats target an escort.
