  Let's see how this goes. These sort of games can be engaging, but they face the threat of being repetitive. In my experience, Silent Victory minimized this threat by the sheer variety of Japanese target ships. I wonder how this one will turn out! :)

•

  Yes, some of them can certainly be repetitious. This one's not too bad in that regard - there are tons of different aircraft with varying equipment & capabilities to fly and there are six or so different enemy bombers and nightfighters with which to contend.

  19:00 moving one space using stealth movement to avoid taking opportunity fire doesn’t accomplish anything. It’s functionally the same as moving one space and ending your impulse, thereby starting the opponent’s impulse. Your movement is not interrupted only moving one space and its protection ends when your impulse ends.

  how do you compare OST to Band of Brothers from Worthington?

• 
  @HexedAndCountered7 күн бұрын

  That's a tough question from a qualitative standpoint as I greatly enjoy both. I would say that the morale system in BoB is pretty interesting where being suppressed means your squad might - or might not - respond to orders. That's a nice touch. OST on the other hand is a very clean system, not a lot of rules overhead (BoB's not that bad in that regard either but is more complex) and OST's Shaken/Broken mechanic with Gut Check rolls is different, but also good. They named it correctly as it is easy to pick up and play, has a nice throwback feel and with its impulse points, gut checks, etc. provides plenty of agonizing for the player when they don't get what they want/need. Not a definitive answer, but I have all of the current releases of both systems, so obviously I like them both. I also backed the latest BoB offering (I think there's three days left - it's called Stalin's Favorites, which you may already know).

  I own both series, have played all volumes and both are my favorites. OST is like original squad leader if it was still around but updated/fine tuned. Easy to learn, plays fast and bloody with amazing graphics, beautiful mounted maps and high quality components. BOB is also easy to learn, plays fast but focuses more on maneuver & flanking (The 4 F's ) to achieve results. Much less bloody as in real life but more realistic tactics. Smaller paper maps. Can't go wrong with either.

  Just so you know, s16-s23 are out of LOS or range of all the Italians in your setup. Given your setup, you could have snuck on to the hill from there with the commandos, gotten the high ground and would probably have singled out the scattered Italians (remember +2 DRM for leader plus height advantage is absolutely devastating statistically). Also, the first unit you entered was not in LOS (Italian group can’t see over the hill contour and when on hill you can only see over it if on a lip hex). Also, tactically, if you’re routinely get shot at with -1 or greater on the ICT, and esp with a +1 DRM added, you’re in a world of trouble

  Think this is first video with gameplay for Vol 4. Thanks! One clarification - the final impulses by British Commando units at end of video: -1 DRM for firing after moving offset by +1 Commandos elite status? But should the Commandos have been able to move and “normal” fire 2x in the same turn (3 Limited Actions)? The unit would be deemed “Used” after move and first fire action ? Second fire action would be subject to intensive fire rule with -1 FP and -1 DRM?

  I don’t yet have vol 4 and latest OST rules. Thought slight chance the Commandos perhaps had been given some kind of super power… By the way, I really appreciate all the effort you put into your OST videos (and your channel in general). Very helpful to see a game “in action” while learning rules, figuring out strategy and tactics, etc. I find trying to get all the rules right in a game is hard enough when i’m just playing the game with rule book in hand for frequent reference; I imagine it must be an exponentially greater challenge when you also have to focus on all the production aspects of making a video- and know that people like me are no doubt going to find a thing here and there that not quite aligned with the rules… :-). Anyway, thanks for all the content you put out there. Definitely of great value to people with interest in the topics covered.

  I think there is some debate as to whether corkscrewing affects defensive fire of the bomber.

  Good to see that very enjoyable game videoed. Beware: when the moon is full the RAF may cancel the raid altogether. There is a 1D6 roll to make to determine that. The catch is this small element of rule isn’t stated in any player aid, as far as I can remember, but in the rules booklet only. Also, with the evolution of your pilot and his ability to fly more evolved planes you shall see there are inconsistencies and errors in the aircraft cards (like cannons with unlimited ammo or MGs with limited ammo). You should refer to the errata to amend this.

  You played the first mission correctly but then began rolling 2 d6 for intercepts instead of a d10. Remember, too, that a natural 10 is an automatic interception. Also, the bomber crashed on the way home and didn't make it, but you have to see if someone spotted it going down before you get credit--roll a d6 and need 1-2. This rule is kind of buried in the example on page 11 of rules and hard to miss. And a pro-tip, always use SM to attack if you have it.

  I believe you were INCORRECT when you did the setup for the Germans in Scenario 1: Take The High Ground The German setup: INFANTRY x 8 SdKfz 251 x 4 deploy in: D12, E12, F12, G12, H12, I12 OR H12 (Not the way as shown in your video where you deployed The Germans on D12 thru J12 hexes as a wide front.) We Just completed Scenario 1 ourselves and had the Germans enter G12. Due to stacking limits (2 units max) it seemed limiting and problematic at first that the Germans could only enter the map board on ONE of those listed hexes. Despite that, the Germans were still able to MOVE UP and eliminate three Soviet infantry units with the last Soviet infantry units Disrupted, Reduced and completely surrounded. I urge you to play this scenario again to see what your outcome would be. Even with the Soviets in High Ground and in the Forest, the Germans' Superior morale overwhelmed the Soviet units. Clearly not enough Soviet units to offset the German advantages IMHO.
