Welcome! I'm Poultergeist Board Games or Scott. I would like to bring another voice to wargaming and regular gaming too. On this channel I will be mostly dealing with solitaire wargames; however, I will dabble a bit into other games especially sports games. On this channel I will do unboxings, reviews, play throughs and what will be my favorite, interviews with other gamers, game designers and artists in the industry. So climb aboard and let's have some fun.
I can be contacted either in comments or email: poultergeistboardgames@gmail.com

10 Questions With Bob Phaneuf of Fortress Games
Excellent review as always!
As an old (!) B-17 Queen of the Skies player I saw this and immediately knew it would be interesting and I was not disappointed. Great video and great mission !
Thanks! Overflight can be very intense at times. QOTS was my first game I bought when I entered wargames 2 years ago.
Thanks for reviewing Cat Magic the Game!
Thanks for giving me the chance to review it. Great game!
I played it once few weeks ago and I really really liked it. I was able to reach the 100G points mainly because I was able to set the peace in Europe (after playing this card the game ends, but I was happy with that). One more turn and I would be defeated, that is for sure since I ran out of my generals during the last campaign. It was a very very tough game and I enjoyed it from the start to the end. The only negative I found is the "potential campaign table", which is not a final version and I got stuck there. I had to find the updated version on the GMT web, printed out and used is as a replacement of the one which is in game.
you need tweezers so you can point with them instead of covering up the 'hexes' with your hand. Other than that, awesome and I now have to buy this. I've been waiting for someone to do a video on this.
Thanks for the feedback, I will do that from now on.
This is without a doubt, the best introductory video on this game! Well done!
Wow, thanks!
1. You did not escape from the destroyers because you need to roll a 6 to escape (you rolled a 4) since your speed has been reduced to one. 2. You have to deduct 75 VP because speed was down to one.
I was a 1980s tanker. Drones make me feel sooo obsolete, like if I was a Civil War soldier fighting Rommel. (or might as well be a chariot driver.) I guess the phrase "keyboard warrior" will pretty much describe most soldiers in years to come.
@@davidfinch7407 My dad was a tanker in Vietnam and I was born at Ft Knox.
@@davidfinch7407 Many of the drone soldiers are in some crazy situations. They don't sit in a military base at a computer but need to go close to the front. They are considered extremely high value targets by the Russians and many die young. I have a few friends who do this, and I know the ordeals and horrible things they have been through. I feel like the phrase "keyboard warrior" to describe them is derogatory. I don't think that was what you meant, but I just felt like sharing my experience with these guys. Cheers!
03:12 haha that's cool, especially since this is a photo of me fighting in Ukraine. Fun fact: Joseph is my dog, and he is from Moldova (The neighbouring country to Ukraine).
When you're back, let's get together and play it live together for your channel!
Hate that sound!!!! I survived an FPV drone with an AT-charge a few weeks back. You really can't hear those bastards when a battle is raging. Slava Ukraini!
@@WW2SolitaireBoardGameChannel Glad you’re okay. That sound is today’s equivalent of the Stuka. Take care over there.
I love the variety and new discovery of games I never knew existed. That’s what makes this channel so cool. Keep up the good work Scott.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
Why can’t we find the full box sets on Amazon and only the books?
You need to get the boxed set at Blue Panther. Here is the link. www.bluepantherllc.com/products/overflight
Can’t find this game on ama on, can I get a link please?
Here is the Compass Games link, it’s cheaper than Amazon. www.compassgames.com/?s=Storm+of+steel&post_type=product&title=1&excerpt=1&content=1&categories=1&attributes=1&tags=1&sku=1&orderby=title-ASC&ixwps=1
You are the Chanel I was trying to find because I am also myself mostly a solo wargame player due to difficulty to find partners to play. Going to buy a lot of games you recommended. This overflight looks dope for real hardcore wargame lovers. Ty. Just one tip, roll the dice where the camera can catch it for us too see them, gets more exiting😊
Thanks for the tip. It’s a great game. A new one is coming out called Game of Drones about drone warfare in Ukraine.
@@PoultergeistBoardGames oh nice, give us a shout when it comes out.
@daxion9416 I will be doing a play through of this pretty soon during play testing.
Ha what a cool concept. She’s got it all covered here…and of course the knobs go to 11, “For that extra push off the cliff.” Man, you can make a game out of any situation. Thanks Scott
Watch dice tower, alert counter, so cool! This game is suspenseful! Looks like a blast
Love that Cuba Libré game and Manila. Also, that canvas map is a great idea. Thanks Scott.
The rulebook is bad for this game. For a turn, it says 4 hexes without contact ends the turn. But then E) Progress says to flip to the PM or AM next day. You could never get to 4 hexes by the rules as written. I think what they intended was that you end a turn when you move 4 hexes or you have combat. Also there are differences from the board and rules. Like the Torpedo damage for the British is in the rules, but not on the board. Poorly produced game. If you can figure it out, it's not a bad light game. But the rules are disappointing at best.
Great video. I've ordered the game which should arrive soon I hope. From reading the rules it seems you hurt the Bismarck's chances for mission success. At 21:12 you rolled a 1 and were able to move 2 hexes. Since there was no contact you should roll again on the movement table until you've moved 4 hexes in total or there is contact. Also when the convoy is attacked near Bergen or Brest (air zone) add a +3 DRM on Main Gun attacks in favor of Bismarck & Prinz Eugen.
@jbx30001 thanks!
Interesting. What are the two maps on your thumbnail from?
I just grabbed those off the Internet as I didn’t want to give away any of my favorites.
Square grid is a non starter for me. Looks pretty cool otherwise, though. I feel like many of these game designs take one step back for every two steps they take. There are some really interesting design choices made here, though.
A hex grid would make LOS very awkward and difficult to work with.
Thanks for the demo!
Thanks for sharing, from one mapboard fan to another! The canvas map is interesting and the burning banners board is fantastic!
Had my volume up a bit listening to music.then came to your video..lol apparently the volume was higher in youtube. got punched in the face by CELEBRATION. lol Happy anniversary!
Ha ha, that’s funny.
Happy anniversary!
Enjoyed a lot! Keep up the great work, SP!
@@bobphaneuf5850 thanks Bob!
Congrats on 1 Year! Hope to see many more from you 👍
Thanks!
Nice vid Scott. Glad to see "Storm of Steel Stuka" in there! "Halls of Hegra" looks really good.
Keep up the great work with those designs and I’m always happy to feature your titles on my channel.
Thanks for all your help mate :) Great video :)
This is an excellent video that adds to the atmosphere of the battle. It’s fun to see someone else play the game and see it through their eyes. Interestingly, I made exactly the same mistake when I was deploying troops. We’ll ask Vincent to make it clearer.
Thanks for the feedback!! :)
Thanks for the playthrough video, Scott! To anyone who gives the game a try, I'm planning to use the core mechanics in another game so I'd love your feedback either here or in the BGG WIP thread.
Do you play burning banners solo? That game looks good but it's a 2+ player game
@@roto6500 yes I play both sides.
Played this game a few times and like the game mechanics. Now I want to play it again after seeing this.
Yeah, it was different and fun.
Take my money.
Thanks for the video Scott! And the artillery can hit on any turn, it's just that on turn 3 they specifically target the church.
Packed with insights, nice interview. I guess my question was perhaps more about what Vince looks for when choosing an artist, what he thinks is important when choosing an artist. But hope to see more interviews with him, I feel you guys just unpacked the top now
Sorry I misinterpreted your question.
@@PoultergeistBoardGames No worries :)
how long does a game take?
It all depends on how long you last. It can be from a few minutes to a few hours.
Just a heads up the “A” admin token doesn’t reset for the first year, but ever year after it does though. Gives you some A to play with in the second year.
Thanks for that.
Need to play this one on my list
The game looks gorgeous, but I’m still undecided on purchasing it. I have so many unplayed games, it’s hard to justify a purchase unless I think I’m going to love it or learn a lot.
That’s true Ted.
Random guy chiming in ... I understand the having too many games; I have spent the past 2 years rebooting my collection, and have sold off just under 500 games since Oct 2022 ... with plenty more to go! .... being much more judicious going forward. I do have a copy of this one, just sleeved it and getting my toes in. If you are curious about Napoleon, but not yet a Napoleon expert, I'd say this is perfect, esp if paired with excellent histories / biographies of Napoleon. I have his memoirs (they can be found online, public domain!), and hope this game can serve as a vehicle for deeper study. I used to know near nothing about the ACW, was allergic to it, ACW gaming turned me into an ACW nerd; Nappy gaming may do the same!
@jpotter2086 Wow! 500 games sold, damn that’s a huge collection just in sold games. I haven’t really dipped my toes into ACW because the amount of counters and setup intimidate me. The games seem too complex for me.
@@PoultergeistBoardGames My family is cursed with collecting bugs. Some of us are "serial" collectors ... maybe most of us. Books, movies, games are my things... music and books are my brothers ... dad was into coins and cards and trains .... yeesh. Wargames can be a lot. Look into digital options? If interested in ACW, there's an oldie from 1998 that I STILL play, even tho I learned how to "game" it 20yrs ago. Robert E. Lee: Civil War Generals II, available on GoG I think ...
@jpotter2086 thanks!
Thank you, Scott. This looks like an interesting game...and good part of history too.
Overflight! is my favourite game of 2024 by a mile. Hadn't had much time to play board games, this year, but almost every time it was this one.
Yes, it is a great game and I need to get it back out and continue my career.
very interesting interview. Gives me more energy to finish my game book.
Good, write a little bit each day.
Thanks for the kind words. Good luck finishing your book, there is a supportive community out there who will be interested to see it when it is finished.
Thanks for this overview, I've had my eye on this one! Love the theme; it's a bit expensive to Canada though.. I'll keep considering it, but your video was helpful!
I love the fact that your young friend's pictures proved to be the trigger for the book.
She is a talented lass, so they definitely helped with the motivation to finish my 1st ever book for her to see her creatures come to life!
Was great fun to do this, just sorry I waffled on and didn't finish answering final question!
No, you were great. Thanks so much for taking the time.
you do a lot of mistakes during play like in movement (max 4 hexes you forgot) or torpedo attack against eny you do damage location instead number of damage for eny
Fantastic mate!!Really enjoyed talking to you! Thanks for reaching out and arranging everything :) Hope to chat again soon about Merville :)
Yes, It was great talking to you. Let me know when you want to talk about Merville.
@@PoultergeistBoardGames Will do mate :) :)
Nice to hear MR. Cooper talk about this game designs. Thank you!
Thanks mate :) Very much appreciated :)
Excelent list
Great to get a mention. Working on Guadalcanal as a play tester has been a real joy and I must have played the game about fifty times. Even so I still manage to find new ways to tweak the difficulty levels and event cards to create new challenges. This is a game that you can replay again and again.
Thank you very, very much Shane :) Your commitment to Guadalcanal is very much appreciated :) For anyone reading, Shane has done an enormous amount of work on the rulebook as well as play testing (and the companion book) and has worked really hard to make everything understandable to not only VD veterans, but players completely new to States of Siege and Solitaire wargames :)
