Hot dice, indeed! 🔥🎲 Bravo, sir!
Nice turn Ozark! You are the sub combat master!!
Well planned and executed turn sir. The dice were fickle things.
Man I want to get into this game but the price is steep for what you get, with no playing pieces. Wish they would make the rules and playing aids a free a PDF. The map and pieces a bundle that is worth well entry wise. Even map PDF would be cool and I can 3d print my own pieces.
The rulebook and errata/ notes are available for download on the website. I'm gonna fenangle my own game of sorts from what HBG published here and what I got at home.
Wow hot Dice!!! Nice turn!
NATO has the best CM & ASM technology in the world! Hot dice. Just glad you weren’t rolling for any strategic nuclear attacks this turn.
Love the submarine movement thru the polar icecap. A turn full of well conceived attacks. Well done sir.
@@CaptainG9318 thanks
This is wicked cool! Hello from a fellow Ozarkian!
@@coryallen2202 hail thee fellow well met.
Good turn. Well done sir.
Okay, I randomly stumbled upon this video and I’m just curious: today we have so many technical options and so many strategy war games on the computer or even some on consoles. Why do you actually prefer to spend obviously so much time and money to have a complete real room and a custom table and all those things only to play this game over just having it all setup on your desk and as soon as you switch it off, you still have a tidy desk and can jump back to work or whatever? It’s an honest question, I’m genuinely interested. The second question is, what game is that and where can I find more about it?
@@marco1941 the game is Global War 85, and it’s published by www.historicalboardgaming.com. To answer the first question, this is the gaming style I grew up with. As kids we played actual board games, some were too big for a kitchen table. So there is a good bit of nostalgia. I play computer games and enjoy them, but looking at the game laid out on my table feels more immersive. Rather than scrolling around a screen I look down on the battle map and move force counters around as real generals did for many years. It’s my hobby. Some guys collect stamps, art, memorabilia, cars… The armies and navies you see in the video are my collection. Many of us who play this game were of draft age in the 80s and can’t help wondering what it might have been like if the world had gone over the edge. For more information check out the HBG website. Also go to my channel page and look at the playlists. You’ll find links to other player’s videos as well. And feel free to ask more questions.
Go Swedes!
I like the use of the Arctic Circle well done!
Nice moves sir. Lots of 3D chess and strategic calculations in those moves.
Well done sir. That was both exciting and soul crushing to watch. 😂
@@CaptainG9318 happy to be of service.
Wow! Don’t mess with the Swedish army! Really fun turn! Well done all around
@@flak88 thank you
Well played Comrade.
Nice turn Mike! Clean! And in order even!
Hey! Former 11th ACR Soldier here. 1984-1986. F26, Fox Troop, 2/11 ACR, Bad Kissingen, then HHT Regt in Fulda, command group driver. The intel at the time had 3rd Guards army coming through the Rasdorf bowl on the border on its way to Fulda. Col. White and then Col. Driskill commanding.
@@jacobs180 welcome home. Thank you for standing watch across the Gap. And thanks for watching.
Likewise.
Great Intro and explanation of the YT War name. Quick but effective turn. Well done Comrade with both placement of new Rocket Arty and NATO finally acknowledging that the Black Sea is a Soviet Sea.
@@CaptainG9318 didn’t want to give your sailors the vapors by intimidating them. 🫡
Those French tanks what are they in Picardy and Paris
@@skymarshal6787 all NATO MBTs in my set are Leopard I
Love the history on Fulda Fap! Really interesting
Glorious custom money!
@@flak88 need to find the guy who thought of it and buy him a root beer float
Nice turn! Excellent tactical placement of Rocket Artillery & fleet movements.
@@admiralseabass8993 thank you, Admiral
Congratulations on completing a great solo game!
@@CaptainG9318 thank you
nice game Ozark, really enjoyed it
@@admiralseabass8993 thanks
Nice turn Ozark!
What size board are you using?
good stuff
Great example of how each game of GW85 is unique. Impressive job in managing the war for all 7 factions. Eager to see how this one ends.
Very interesting war. The nuclear escalations should really spike up the cost of war on both sides.
Loved this coverage. You really have a superb set-up. Thanks for the obvious effort involved in bringing this to us in the rest of the world.
@@peterixon8708 you’re welcome. I appreciate your kind words. Tell the world LOL.
@@ozarkoutpost I will endeavour to do so, starting tonight. I have dinner with some war game buddies. We all served together in the 1980's and 1990's (at one stage training to be the third echelon of replacements for mech forces in a possible fight in 1985 West Germany), but nowadays, of course, we're all retired. Broadcasts like yours are a real inspiration. Love your figure collection and their paint job.
@@peterixon8708 thank you. If your group has any questions feel free to ask.
@@ozarkoutpost 👍
How many flight stands would someone need if they played this game?
@@thomashopkins20 I have 80-100
Nice turn Ozark. Lots of fun.
Where are the references sheets for this game
@@yamanalshraideh5315 refernce sheets will be part of the game package, per HBG. The game description just needs a little clarification.
Great video Ozark. For those starting from scratch, this game does not have the Axis & Allies equivalent games that allow you to start from a strong position. But I’ll share that when I joined the GW85 playtest team, I was using GW2025 pieces & markers, Amerika pieces and GW36/39 and Axis & Allies pieces & markers. I built up my GW85 sets over time - took most of a year and I’m still using misc Infantry sculpts and base markers from other games. I still use GW2025 Infantry instead of terrorist markers and GW39 base markers in my GW85 game. So just starting, it might be necessary to use T34s for Soviet/Warsaw Pact armor or GW2025 attack helos instead of a Hind or Apache.. But it lets you play the game right away as you fill in your game with the sculpts you want. (And take advantage of the 3D sculpt sale to get pieces you want /need.) So great to see this game finally be released to the community.
Anyone know a rough estimate of the cost to acquire all the required pieces. This is basically my dream board game but I'm afraid the cost of entry is pretty prohibitive. Thinking of picking up the base game and maybe picking at the pieces over time.
@@AncientElectronics this game is 100% customizable. You can buy the game and use slips of paper for units if you want.
I calculated all the 3D pieces based on the recommended list, and they are over $1100 without roundels and tokens. That is if you go off the website alone, though.
@@thomashopkins20 ouch, well maybe I can piece somthing together in a decade or so LOL. Until then I guess I'll scavage pieces from old axis and allies boxes.
I have a 3D PLA printer. I plan to print out my own units; Triangle shapes for air; ovals for naval and rectangles for land units. I will use color to show different factions, and markers as needed.
@@DanielWeitz-f9b absolutely. Every game set is a matter of preference. If it works for you, enjoy it.
Excellent video and very helpful to those wanting to build their Global War 1985 games.
All I want for Christmas is a bundled one-click item to buy for GW85 roundels and tokens 🙏🙏🙏
@@btw6301 I hope your wish comes true, but won’t hold my breath.
The Chinese bomber was aborted, not destroyed
Go Team Red! Great timing getting AMD!
Fortuitous for sure
Nice! Love the board and miniatures.
Thank you
Good placement of those free Chinese Paramilitary units
Love to see Black Sea Fleet on move!
Big FEC invasion of China. Love it.
Tech Dice Gulag!
Nice turn, really heating up!
Central and Southeast Asia is going to get real interesting.
Might get a little warm on the Asian land mass
Love the combo of events & insurgency results
Iran - Iraq war is always a fun one. Interesting game event outcomes so far.
Looking forward to it!
Excellent! Looking forward to seeing what you do!
