My AAR from this game in the Jours de Glorie series. I did have an issue with the recoding after turn 1, so had to miss that inclusion alas - but as it was the first turn the rest of the AAR should still make sense.

When do you plan on this being ready for sale, Matt? Max Hastings book on this mission comes out next month.
Good luck with the project!
Can't wait for this!
Thank you David!
Best wishes on this project. As I'm sure you known Colonel Frost (of Market Garden fame) wrote about this operation in his memoir and spoke of it as being a close-run thing. Another game--from Vae Victis--takes on this event as well, and as interesting as it was, seemed to me to be rather predictable after a couple of turns. One core issue is how much a game depends on decisions and how much on dice rolls. Too often, solitaire games emphasize the latter. Again, hope all goes well with this effort. Thank you for the video, as well as your other work on this most interesting channel.
Looks great!
thank you!
You GOT to get the mounted map!!! 😊
I need to get my copy of CCNap back on the table, its been years!
You should! I had forgotten how good it is.
@MattWhiteWargames I fell back into the world of miniature wargaming last year and my boardgames are getting less love. That said, this game is the reason i've avoided buying any napoleonic minis - I already have the lot so why start getting more!
Xcellent Matt ... Thankyou !!!
thank you!
I have begun to read through the rules to this amazing-looking game but come up against something a ‘brick wall’, which I really hope you can help with. I have been playing wargames for about fifty years now, so maybe I am missing something obvious because I’m knocking on a bit, but I cannot find in any of the scenario information how many ‘Army Fatigue Points’ you start with. The reduction of them is clear, but as I say from what number? It seems that the shorter scenarios don’t use them, as it says to ignore rules regarding Army Fatigue, but what about the main battle? I apologise if I am being dim, but if you can help, I shall be in your debt!
yes - I can help with that. Version 1.2, page 9 - 220 AFP to the Russian and 210 AFP to the French as part of the setup
Thanks for that. My page 9 has none of that at all! How do you get the updated rules? I have tried but can’t seem to access them.
It looks like my rule are version 1.
@@richardwimpenny4342 yes - there is a 1.2 for the scenario book and a 1.4 for the rulebook. I do have a video that details all the changes and I would highly recommend you get them (I think directly from the publisher). If you get stuck message me or via BGG and I can help you. Best, Matt
That’s brilliant, Matt, many thanks. Is the game playable with what I’ve got do you think? I’m working away from home and no printer, etc, but able to set a small game up.
I don’t think it’s as bad as some are making out. But it is definitely frustrating that basic errors/omissions are made in the rules.
Same here. Nothing really dramatic. Compared to GMT where I only buy 2nd editions the little mistakes are peanuts.
I have just managed to get a copy from Second Chance Games in Britain, but thanks anyway. It arrived today, but I am working away from home and won’t be able to ‘dive’ into the box till late on Saturday night! 😢
This is excellent and much needed, particularly given the frustration surrounding the game. Thank you for a comprehensive, even-handed and generous assessment of the state of play (as it were) concerning the rules.
thank you
Hopefully a developer and proofreader are employed for the next games in the series. I have a lot of hesitance in supporting on the future after feeling really burned by backing this one and getting a boxed beta experience.
Looking at the rule book I see a list of proofreaders, play tester and a developper. The game is great as is the support of the publisher. I appreciate the effort of living rules and listening to gamers to add some more detail.
Wow, very thorough.
thank you Todd
Thank you Matt for this great effort. Just in case I didn't mention it: We will print the rules manual, charts & tables with the print of Quatre Bras 1815 / Wartenburg 1813 and will offer them for free. The changes have been the result of many great feedbacks by players who asked for a little bit more detail. And Andrew James made an incredible work by checking all syntax and made some good suggestions on how to better organize some paragraphes.
Please please please change 'cavarly' to cavalry on the player aid ! Cheers
I just purchased Memoir '44 for the first time, with the four main expansion packs and the Breakthrough Kit. The Winter Wars pack suggests that the Winter/Desert Map be purchased first. However, the Breakthrough Kit also comes with four terrain maps including a Winter/ Desert map. Is there a difference in content or scenarios by purchasing the Winter/ Desert Board by itself versus the Breakthrough Kit which already includes the map? Check it Out! Answer are appreciated. Ciao!!!
Where can we get this game?
STICKERS!! I made the mistake years ago of ordering this base game along with Austrian and Russian armies all at once. LOL I was about to nibble on a shotgun by the time I was done with that. Its a great game though and worth it in the end. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Matt, enjoyed. I have not referenced by copy, but ‘looking’ at it, it feels a Prussian win to me … in that the French failed to destroy the Prussian army in the field, which is what I think the battle is all about. Looking forward to getting the new Eylau / Friedland games out.
What rules do you use for that scale?
Games that take an hour for others, take five hours for me and my friends lol. I think my playgroup has problems with just winging it. We want to make good decisions which makes our games longer. If we can finish a Band of Brothers game in three hours, it's fast for us lol.
This makes me think of Avalon Hill's Tactics II game I had growing up.
Love that game
Love the lively and insightful narrative Matt. Really adds to the AAR.
Thank you - that's very kind
Nice! I love these types of approachable games. Sure, they don’t have the fidelity of more complex games, but they can be just as tense and satisfying to play.
totally agree - I play many games with several map, monster games and these smaller, lower complexity games offer a different, but equally compelling gaming experience
I love this series - nice job Matt!
thank you Hermann!
Well done… thank you!
thank you - I very much enjoyed the game
The Turn marker in your game looks like you ended on Turn 7, yet the Turn Track goes to 20?!?!?! Is this game that lopsided? Thank you for posting this.
I have often finished the game in less than 20 turns
The Best wargame on this scale and topic at this time I guess, thanks for the reviews. I'm excited to test it quickly 😁
Thank you Eric, that is very kind of you to say. We have living rules 1.4 ready. We added some nice details like offensive use of French Horse Artillery.
great report
Loved 1776. Always thought there should be leader counters however
A paper gaming mat? I guess that won't last very long
Auerstaedt next. I'd like to see how this system fairs against an extraordinary battle like this.
Auerstaedt is on the top of my list. Very nice challenge to design that game where a formidable French force stays victorious outnumbered 1:2.5.
Didyou clip the chit corners yourself or were they of such fine quality? Do they provide the dice? Not game-related: Why do you say 'one dice'? Is it not 'one die, two dice'? Or if 'one dice', should it not be 'two dices'? I am french-speaking, learning;, sorry if rude.) Edit.- at 10:44 you say 'the second die'.
I am curious at how you store the game (keep the ziplock? design a box? join a document organizer?) and specifically the counters (all loose in the ziplock? smaller zip? several zips? united in a separator tray with other games? create a carton or origami 'matchbox'?). Thanks for the info and the enthusiasm.
👍👍
In this scenario the French (except the MG group) set up south of hex line U.
Great video! Love the 4x game system. Looking forward to getting the upcoming reprint and playing for 80th anniversary.
Tx for the feedback and analyze I just got mine yesterday and before reading the rules in English I appreciate the overview you gave. Cheers
Nice collection. But as you said, you need to embrace the Stug Life. I've now got a stug III and two StuH 42s for my fallschirmjager-sturmgeschütz force
An impressive collection and striking work, thank you for allowing others to see it. Is it correct to assume that the camouflage is designed for Western Front action, specifically in France and engagements in that region from 1944-1945? I'm unfamiliar with Bolt Action.
Gorgeous minis Matt!
The production values are exceptionally high, and one hopes that the company itself will be able to make a go of it and thrive in a tough industry. Thank you for the video.
Very entertaining!
I backed this one as well, but still waiting for it to arrive. Part of what intrigued me is that it covers the campaigns in Egypt, which doesn't seem well represented in wargaming. I hope you make a follow-up video after you've played it.
I saw this demonstrated at Salute 2023. The mechanics looked like a very interesting way of recreating a historic campaign with plenty of opportunity for things to go differently. I've just got my copy and agree with you about the high quality of the game components. May get it on the table today - a bit of clearing away first!
Awaiting for it, and also for the next modules in the series about Maida and Capri. Very original visual style and choice of campaigns... it looks like a very promising series with a different take on Napoleonic wargaming.
And thank you for the video, of course!
Thanks Matt, really looking forward to further vids on this game as I'm still on the fence with this one. On one hand really keen to support a UK product and try out the system, on the other I'm not really that much into the subject.
Thanks Matt for an excellent comprehensive unboxing, you've really done a great job!
And the game looks excellent!
massive Thankyou Matt ... your reviews are thoroughly superb --- especially Waterloo 1815 - Thankyou again ... please keep your reviews, Gamers need this always !!!
Interesting, thanks! This trio of games intrigue me.
