Your fans are worried. We haven't heard from you in two months...

Great Overview

In the original game, it was having a bad start, like yours, which lead to discovery of the fatal flaw, if you gradually withdraw the Germans behind river lines, when they got to the Warsaw and mountains line they could stack up to make it impossible for the Soviets to break the line, I think it was 12 or more Doubled, John and I struggled to address that, and future Editions did, initially we added Soviet Artillery units that acted like Stuka's, (43=1, 44=2 and 45=3) this sort of worked.

John Edwards invented this game, and published it with his company JEDCO Games, he's Australian. I knew him, and had many fun nights playing this game with him, great guy, the 70's was a very different time.

Could you help me figure out what would be worth buying? So far the cheapest I’ve found was the very base 1st edition from the official store. I can’t find really any other content and can’t find any info on an easier to obtain version of the 2nd edition. Should I just buy the basic box of 1st edition?

Do the optional rules include using the historical starting date in late June 1941? It's always seemed like a Heil Hitler gift to give the Germans a huge boost by starting the campaign in May. Does the game work with a June-July first turn or does the one turn early winter change the course of history?

You had until the end of the Jan/Feb turn, so you had this turn and the next, not worth paying out both turns?

Great video - thank you.

Tremendous video! I've been enjoying it immensely as a solo player and just ordered the Personnel Files as I want to have upper end Promotions. As Arkham Horror was my Gateway Game😅 nearly 15 years ago, I embrace the fiddliness

Well it is pre-Christmas 2024 and Worthington put a ton of games on sale (found out from Zila blitz). I grabbed the Seven Days Battle, Shiloh and Antietam for $25 each. was $75 each... looked yesterday at their site and not many left of each of these. Right now all they need to do is drop the price of Gettysburg from $120 to around 80-85 dollars and it's all mine.. Always hoping... Just dropped each games counters into Aegis 2x5 trays 10 compartments. They are basically half trays. I used 3 per game.. These are my 1st civil wargames since pea ridge back in the 70's... Will be laying these out on my war room pool table (still working on my buildout table, over the pool table), after I finish up France 1940. I really enjoy your videos on all the various games you do...

33:39 ...actually it was the Canadians who took Monte Casino later in the war ...just sayin 😮

I have to disagree with the statement that Space diamonds doesn’t have anything to teach the real game. In fact, Space diamonds is an excellent tutorial for movement which the Race for Glory doesn’t describe very well.

I actually just got this. Great looking expansion for LOD. Can't wait to dive into it.

Great video. Thank you

The three mountain hexes in the south between the carpathians and pripet swamps should be removed, treat them as clear. It would give the Germans a better chance at taking Kiev.

Nice review. I've been playing this on and off the past year when time allows it. I love it along with Dungeon Universalis. These two games have become must haves for me if I never keep anything else. Two similar games that I love for each of their own design and mechanics and joy they bring me. Gloomhaven I was excited for, bought it at a ridiculously low price I just couldn't say no to, and honestly, it just doesn't fill the niche that these two games do for me. I'm not saying its a bad game. But different strokes for different folks. It just sits on my shelf looking big and awesome. Again, nice review.

Another great video! Thanks! Great to hear your views on all aspects of the game (rules / game mechanics, components, time to play, etc ) AND to see a meaningful example of gameplay with clear explanation of what going on AND to get a thoughtful summary at the end of the video, including who the game might appeal to. Interesting also to hear about the early 1970s game of which this is an update and your comparison of the game system vs AH classics from that time period and earlier. 👍

Well done; very helpful!

Enjoyed this! Great for learning the basics

Will you be playing Rock of Chickamauga when it releases?

I like your approach to the leadership casualty...

outstanding! TY! Subscribed

As you foresaw Paul 😀 great to see the game getting more coverage with your channel 👏

Nice.

Hello! I was wondering on how to get in touch with you to talk about my upcoming second edition of Albuera?

The front box art has an umm.... unfortunate... depiction of a man...

Did you not go for the False Prophet expansion as well as the update pack?

So happy to see the updated version on your channel 😊

Enjoyed your video and found the upgraded graphics quality was great (once you tell UA-cam not to show it in 360p). I like the look of this game but wonder about replayability. It seems kinda small, like too zoomed in, in you know what I mean. I think I would prefer something with more units and maneuver. Not necessarily an entire battle (take too long) but something with greater scope than Into the Whirlpool.

Wow! Very nice review! Seriously considering this game! Thank you. 😊

Yikes

Did you see the third guy from the left on 3rd Arkansas?. Thats my great grand pappy!

Thanks Paul! Terrific overview of the game.

Great work!

Great video. Well done. I hope I can get my 68 year old head around the rules when my copy is delivered tomorrow. I have never been a fan of earlier GMT rule books as they have always made them text heavy. This does look quite interesting.....almost a dog fight management sim. Again, thank you for a great play through. Any advice on how I should start learning the rules? I would like to know how you learnt it.

This game is fascinating to me, Thanks for making this video!

great job

Whew I thought you quit! (Your one of my favs.)

Hey Paul! Hope all is well! Thanks so much for this terrific overview. I appreciate the kind comments. I don't know if I have the most number of different ACW series but I may have the record for the most games that cover some portion of Gettysburg! 😆 I really like Blue Panther's production quality and Alex Zatarain's artwork and I appreciate their hard work on this project. Thanks again and hope you enjoy it!

I am pleased with mine. I ordered the version with the canvas map. It will still need some plexi or clamps to lay flat but maybe over time it will stretch out. One of my counter sheets was heavily misaligned so the numbers were "lost" when punched. That was quickly replaced by the publisher when I sent them a photo (GREAT SERVICE!). One minor thing is the box size I received is slightly too small to fit a standard counter tray. I tried several brands. Not the end of the world. Baggies or half counter trays (or maybe trimmed trays--I haven't tried that) can work but just an observation. I do like that they made the box thick to fit all your stuff, 2 copies of the play aids, & easily legible cards!!

I received my copy about three weeks ago, i was truly intrigued by the concept. I have to say after dabbling with it a bit i can say with confidence that i cant wait fir the next game

Great playthrough. Thanks for the videos.

44:50 - For a Determined Defense, you only use one or the other of the TQ and Armor Rating modifiers, never both. Also, the Armor Rating Comparison is only available if the Lead Unit is a tank and it can only help the defender, never hurt them.

30:38 - You don't get the TQ shift for this attack because the Ranger Bn. isn't part of the MAF.

38:50 - The tank unit has to take the hit since it provided a shift.
