One of the best game play videos I have ever seen...loved that you went back and made the corrections...As wargamers, screwing up rules comes with the territory. Also, your explanations have helped me comprehend the game much better and I'm gonna break the game out and finally try and play it.
Thanks a lot for these videos! I received the boxed game for my Birthday, and those are providing tons of invaluable information and clarification,smoothing things out.
Thank you, Ro! And for the subscribe. Yes, this game is one of the best Leader games in my opinion. I do love the subject matter, though, so I may be biased. 🙂
On the first bombing run, you only hit once, causing to damage, yet you marked it as if you had 6 hits on it. In reality, you didn't even get enough hits to do even light damage to the target.
@@Suvorov928 Don't forget to add the Combined Bomber Operations event card! It automatically added 4 points of damage to the target before my two B-17s attacked. When my two B-17s bombed, the 92nd group hit the target with one bomb which caused 2 more points of damage for a total of 6. Six points is in the light damage range. :)
Great presentation. Stunning. Congratulations. Will order the game. Retiring in 4 months. So will have plenty of time to play the game. Thanks a lot. QUESTION: Does the bomber group card deck contain a RAF B-17 group?
les règles du jeu sont vraiment très bien expliquer bon boulot !! de France ;-) the rules of the game are very well explain good job !! ;-) from France ;-)
When you destroyed the airfield you moved the bandit marker 3 spaces. Can you explain why, please? I get my copy of this tomorrow. Very excited. You do a great job.
Hi, Wade! Rules-wise that move is not allowed because as soon as the target was bombed the move switches to the RAF. However, the RAF had no chance of intercepting the raid (even if they were able to the disadvantage would have been too great anyway) so I "skipped" the RAF step and went ahead and moved the German raid marker. In retrospect, I can see why this would cause confusion and I apologize for that. Thanks for the heads-up and feedback! It is much appreciated. Hope you are enjoying your copy of LB!
@@pdex2165 I think you might be confused on which game in commenting about? Not sure what LB might be. Nevertheless, I have my copy of B-17 Flying Fortress Leader now and found the answer. Take care and keep up the good work.
Normally, yes. But that's only if you don't attack the target the following week. Since I attacked the airfield the prior week there was no need for a repair roll. If I would have skipped attacking the target this week then I would have to roll for repair at the end of the week.
6.2.4: "You can rest a Bomber or Fighter Group (i.e. they are not flown on a mission that week). At the end of the week you reduce losses (Destroyed points) by 3.

8:14 I always wondered what Bill Mayer did during the war.
you would have to roll the dice to repair the target AF 02 because you have changed week.
I am wrong ? 13:08

Where in the rules does it say you get replacement points for resting a group?
6.2.4: "You can rest a Bomber or Fighter Group (i.e. they are not flown on a mission that week). At the end of the week you reduce losses (Destroyed
points) by 3.

I'm pretty sure the Spits can escort the whole Hex 13 mission.
