World at War 85 Blood & Fury Gameplay 1
You mention a few times that "they're making updates" to the rules in the forums & website etc: It should be pointed out these are ALL FAN-MADE & the effort of the community - there are NO OFFICIAL updates, corrections, clarifications etc yet... It's a bit of a wild-west at the moment when it comes to the rules. Personally I feel the game is unfinished and majorly rushed & under-tested.
how can i distiguese skirmisers from armies?
@@KOKALASNIKOS the icon on the cards. Skirmishers have a bow type icon in the corner. Be careful though since there are typical archer units that have a different bow symbol as well
How is it better than AH Squad Leader? Isn’t this the litmus test? Is it worth the investment? I mean I can get trump memes…trump watches, ecards, shoes, prayers with the almighty before his inauguration, meeting St. Peter, auto magic karma…we have choices. Oh, I can get a KV 1…
@@RussellThornton-f9z haven't played squad leader so I can't really compare.
@ What about Lock N Load tactical? Have you played the tabletop or computer version of that? Thanks!
@RussellThornton-f9z i have done something like 80 videos on LNLT. I did a whole bootcamp series
@@thegimpygamer So is Stalingrad better than LnLT? How does it compare?
@RussellThornton-f9z ive only got minor experience with OST. Ive played much more of their other series that I mentioned The Long Road and also the 65' series. Flying Pig has a good track record with tactical games so this should be quite good. Especially considering the repeated demands for a reprint. As for comparisons all tactical games play similarly with their own unique flavor. That comes down to personal preference. None are bad by any means though so its not like there is a wrong choice.
Thanks, Nate.
Anything Stalingrad gets my attention, a fascinating battle.
I’m really preferring the way GimpyGamer leaves in the mistakes - we all make them - and mistakes are a great learning vehicle (see what I did there? LOL). Seriously, leave the mistakes in with your text annotations etc. My copy of this game should be arriving in the meail today! (2 years after this video was uploaded - the video still has great value!)
Man, they got the flow of the Danube completely wrong, they sort of hit where it enters the black see but they have the river flowing through the Carpathian mountains.
Another awesome play-through! Did you ever play the follow-on defensive mission to this one?
@Gilgamesh347 yea there is a part 3 to the series. When you get the game make sure you get the newest rules. There have been updates since I filmed this so some things have changed. Thanks for subbing!
@Gilgamesh347 ua-cam.com/video/MEG4t6RVsrQ/v-deo.htmlsi=YwtgOhLuR0QEUCrX
Great play-through. Natural teacher. I pick this up tomorrow…thanks!! Subscribed.
Cool looking game man. I'm trying to get into wargaming with my girlfriend, have you made a beginners guide for how to navigate through the wargaming world? Theres an overwhelming amount of options. Something like top 4 games for beginners, then these are the top 4 intermediate games to move on to, or something like that? Right now, I'm thinking we'll start with memoir 44 but I'm not sure if thats a good place to start and where to go next
@@malachor5ve yep I've made more than one video on the topic. Heres a playlist of my top picks. ua-cam.com/play/PLutJ1yyPcWcldI1xPa5rim3FY6-HgQu7g.html&si=yJS23BMBCeLk8QEx
@thegimpygamer Awesome thanks for the resource man
Hey man, what would you recommend for someone on a budget: a handful of really well curated board games, or take that money and spend it on steam sales and xbox/playstation store sales? Basically which hobby gives the best bang for buck?
@@malachor5ve good question. I'll tell you what I do since I am definitely on a budget. Four young children doesn't leave a large gaming budget. For starters I gave up completely on consoles. Just too expensive and their games don't tend to go on sales like PC does. I've never even played a PS5/Xbox X. All my digital gaming is done on PC. I take advantage of the free games each week on Epic. I've bought 1 game on the Epic store, but have a library of about 100 on there. All from their free game giveaways. For Steam I only buy a game if it's on sale. I'll also wait for a big sale if possible. Rather than get it at 20% off I'll wait a few months until it's 50%. Warno for example I wanted for a while, but I waited until I could get the whole bundle at 50% off. Rarely will I ever buy a new game. As for the board games you would probably want to look at ones with high replay value. I want the games to give me at least the option of 1hr per 1$ spent. Those roll & writes like American Tank Ace are very good for that. Plus tactical games that have a lot of scenarios like Assault Sicily 43, LNLT, or Conflict of Heroes.
@thegimpygamer Thanks man good tips
I was really looking forward to this game coming out, but I watched a playthrough and honestly it was kindof boring :/ For the price of this boardgame I could buy almost every total war game on a steam sale, and they're much more than what this boardgame is
@@malachor5ve I think some games just don't translate well to the tabletop. Sometimes, like here, too much is lost. I don't think this is a bad game. Its fairly comparable to other games of its genre, but it doesn't have the same punch as the digital version. On the bright side it did make me want to start up a new game as the Vampire Counts. Its time now to slaughter the world of the living!!

RTS games went down a similar path, in the 90s and early 2000s they were a main pillar of pc gaming. For many similar reasons as wargaming (More complex than other games on average, very competitive and combative, etc) they have not necessarily fallen off, but they are a much smaller total percentage of video gaming on the whole now days
It’s your game play it like you want,amen brother 😊
The objective is to”The Plains of Abraham” FYI
Hammer of the Scots! Next
@@josephhaack5711 actually Alliances is next😉
Nice video. I've played and enjoyed a number of Columbia (and other) block games over the years but never this one, maybe it's time to give it a try.
Charlestown on the map should be Georgetown
Thank you for recording this! It was a fascinating discussion. Tried to contribute where i could.
Warno is a great game. It is amazing to grab an A10 and absolutely annihilate everything on the map.
Just ordered this. Thanks!
@@Conflict_Boardgaming it's a great game.....just make sure you have the updated rules😉
I went to Quebec city a few years back... quite interesting. Old town is full of history. You can stay a long weekend in the city, plus a day or two in the surroundings.😊
Good review. Might have to give this game a go. Seems like you can pick up an old copy for around $25.
The new edition will be in kickstarter soon.
Classic game, and man this looks great. Great review, my friend!
My copy of that game should arrive the next few days. I already have been exited about it, but after watching these three playthrough videos I am absolutly blown away. A video series Very well done and informative! One thing I noticed was that the rulebook is incredible well done, too. Whenever your playthrough left a question open in a specific situation I was able to find the answer within seconds, even I used the german edition. Looks like the was nothing lost in translation. 😊
@The_enraged_Crusader yea I agree. This is a well done system all the way around.
А что лучше взять? Красные или ни шагу назад?
Hi thanks for the content, I wanted to verify with you, is LOS blocked by the obstacle hex border or by the art printed of the obstacle in the hex? Thank you, Carlos,
Do you mean the hexside? If the LOS is drawn along a blocking hex? Is that what you are asking?
@@thegimpygamer yes the LOS is drawn threw a blocking hex but the LOS does not touch the obstacle that is printed in that hex, I saw on a video someone say that LOS is based on the Art printed on the hex, not sure about this rule.
@carlosancinez9116 it's been a while, but I believe it counts as blocking. I'm not positive though so I would check their updated rules to be sure. compassgamesbucket.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/downloads/Combat-2nd-Printing-Rules-print-ready-v4a+(1).pdf
@@thegimpygamer I found this on bgg, §11.0 ¶4 [append]: LOS must actually cross the graphic of Cover Terrain to count as blocked. that tells me its the Art on the hex and not the hex its self. thanks agina =D
Any comments or reviews on the expansion packs?
@mikel1978 The expansions just adds more missions/stuff to a already good game. Things like new operators, flamethrowers, and guard dogs. Think of the expansions like DLC for the Commandos game. You don't have to have them, but they do add more to the game. One of them (Jager) even adds the ability for a player to take control of the Germans. There are 3 in total, Hot Dogs, Heavy Metal, and Jager. The Last one is the least needed for me since I am not playing this multiplayer.
Thanks for this Nate. I have the original version but haven't pulled the trigger on this one yet. I don't MP that one either as it plays so well solo and the A.I. is fairly capable.
@uwebech5825 so far the AI has been pretty good. Ill have to spend some more time with it to say for sure though. Regardless anything with nukes is good to go in my book😁
Latest update on deliveries to Asia / Pacific countries. Some of the orders for Australia have left by boat on Boxing Day! ETA for arrival in Australia is mid-January. I know some people claim that LnL simply have bad luck, but I am trying to reconcile their announcement back in November that Asia / Pacific customers would receive their orders in a "few weeks" with sending the games by sea freight with an ETA a few months later than indicated by their November announcement. On the positive side the game does appear to be their usual very high standards of presentation.
Thanks Nate! And Merry Christmas!!
@@keithtracton6858 Happy to do it. Stay tuned cause I finally have the biggest one started. Just figuring out deployment is taking some thought. Merry Christmas!
Since there are usually less than a dozen cards i usually roll a dice to determine which card to pick. That way i don't bend the cards up. Great example of game play. Already have Storming the gap and the expansion and looking forward to getting my copy of this newest addition to a great game system. Well done video! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
@@frankwaugh1894 Merry Christmas!
Hi there. Merry Christmas. Do you know if this game will be widely available sometime in the future?
@hwypup1978 they are shipping now so sales should happen once they finish that. Small operation so I would expect at least a month or so
the threat is upped by 1 when it's "day" on dictator phase
I really like that you pre-count the pieces needed for the mission. Concerning game and scenario design it might be some thing that would be good if it was actually printed in the mission outline.
You have some cool videos. Looking forward to diving in.
Good list Nate, thanks for sharing.
Amazing! This reminds me of imperial glory campaign 2005.
I'm more of a scifi guy than fantasy, and have been looking at core space for a while... This looks cool, but just makes me want to buy core space more!!!
@@CategorySolo Yea CS will probably always be at the top of my gaming lists
Have you played wolfpack yet great game
@@darrenf9965 not yet
Do those round plastic token holders come with the game? It looks like you have a bunch unwrapped in your vid?
@@thomboerman7554 no. Those are coin holders that coin collectors use. You can get them cheap off of Amazon. If I remember right those are 25mm
Looks like I will need to view your Core Space videos <smiley face>.
I was thinking the same thing. LOL
Haven't visited in a while. Good episode Gimp.
Nate, thank you for placing "The Fate of All" in your favourites list! BTW, It's "Achaemenid Empire"....not exactly easy to remember :D
@fabriziovianello1191 easy call to make. One of the better games of that era I have played. Few others incorporate logistics into their gameplay which would have been as needed then as they are now.
You’ve gotta get some heat in your room. You look like you’re freezing to death. One thing to note I’ve never board gamed with anyone who uses tweezers to play with. Do you use them all the time and if so why?
For picking up/putting counters down easier and also without disturbing stacks of counters.
@crackerbarrel6965 there is a bay window in my office that causes it to get colder than the rest of the house. Doesn't matter as I wear the beanie in all my videos, and during winter I live in hoodies.
i wonder if a matte or satin varnish might work on the coin capsules to reduce the shine, though not sure how it would impact the clarity
@@actualwafflesenjoyer would take the shine off for sure, but my guess is it would make it foggy. I can always try one as a test
Nice vid, do you play all these games solitaire? Greetz from the Netherlands!
@@brundebrauc2208 yep. There are individual videos of all of them being played on my channel
Thank as always, Nate!!! So glad you like Blood and Fury, and looking forward to everyone getting it soon as you mentioned!!
Ha! I think Roy (see his comment) bought the last copy of Rogue Regiment!! Looks like the company just did a kickstarter for a second printing. Any chance you can get any information about the possibility of a late pledge? I want to get the all in pledge but can’t find anywhere…. Any info is appreciated - given your review I’m sure others will be looking as well!
@HappyGamer74 i sent them a email to ask. When I hear back I'll put up a update video letting people know.
They will open up the pledge manager early next year and you will be able to late pledge.
Love the enthusiasm, man! Thanks for this
