Have Friday jog forward, attempt a Dirty Knives against Brick then Attack him twice. He'll be at net -2 DEF so you'll get two extra dice on the Attack. He'll also be poisoned, which means in the maintenance phase he'll take [2] Condition Damage which gets through his Tough Hide.
Great video, I really like the professional production. Starting the video showing the measurements and then only showing the movement after the fact was a great choice. Makes me proud to be a supporter of Watch It Played, money well spent.
Hey guys, really I've got to say as a new player I love this whole series. Your the only youtubers I've seen so far that take the time to actually explain what is going on in the matches. Sure there are plenty of lets plays out there, but they go so fast a newbie like me is more or less just saying wtf is going on. So please could you guys maybe do like two more full matches like you have here, maybe with different teams if you can. Also the plays suggestions from the audience are great but I don't think anyone would be too upset if you took that out to save yourself some time. I'm pretty sure all the guys who play at my store learned from you guys, at least two of them recommended me this series right off the bat, so really we appreciate it.
Really great to hear you enjoyed the format of this play through! Removing the audience feedback wouldn't actually speed up the process. We keep our videos to this length because although they appear to be 15 minutes long, they actually take several hours to shoot and edit we need the break to work on other content :) As for repeat plays, because we have so many different games we hope to feature on the channel, we don't repeat games we've already featured (just so many games and so little time!) That said, I hope you stick around, and perhaps will find some other games on the channel that you'd enjoy as well. Have fun playing!
While the beat down on Brick is really enticing, he has a lot of health boxes. So the level of success that you might get from that in the long run might be up in the air a bit, but it's probably the safer option, especially because you can crowd out with the cat and you are tooled up. That being said, I'd be inclined to attempt to score a goal with Friday this turn. This would earn you an extra influence for the next turn and would pop the Brewer team (a fairly Brawler oriented team) of four points from the goal. THIS WOULD ONLY WORK IF THE MEASURING WOULD WORK OUT, but if it did Friday has enough influence to risk it. For this to work, she needs two momentum to shoot. So i'd start the turn by Shadow Like Dodging two inches forward, making sure to get a clear angle on Flint for a charge. Then spend 2/4 allocated influence to charge flint, you then roll 8 dice hoping for four results which would get you an ignored tackle and a momentous tackle (if you got 7 hits (3 wraps), you'd use the first or second wrap result for a momentous push because you can execute the wraps in any order. This would net you the two momentum you need). If you didn't get the push result (highly unlikely that you would), Flint should counterattack (which would have had to be announced when you charge). He should be able to tackle the ball off of you. If you lose the ball in the counter or if you didn't get the second momentum on the charge, use influence 3/4 to hit Flint to do the momentous tackle or push, depending on who has the ball, to be sure to have the ball and the second momentum needed to shoot. For your final influence, 4/4, and two momentum points you are hopefully within 8" of the goal and can attempt a shot on goal. If you come up short of making a shot on goal, you should be within pass range of tapper. So i'd instead use the two mp to shake tappers conditions off and then pass him the ball. I'd argue that this play, while riskier than attacking Brick, is more influential because it either results in four points or denying the masons a goal at the beginning of round 2. Not to mention the drama ;) Either way this video's editing is brilliant, and I am excited to see how this game pans out! Great job! P.S. If you do go in on Brick, I'd charge and try to get dirty knives to trigger off the play book with the wrap, which would hopefully up your influence efficiency.
The best move here is to have Scum activate first, using his Shadow Like to dodge 2" up the pitch in the direction of Brick or at least that general direction, and then spend his influence to sprint even more. Make sure to end no closer than 10 inches away from Mallet, that way if mallet did chose to advance towards Scum in the following activation, the Brewer can use Scum's Unpredictable Movement to doge out of Mallets melee. All in all though, regardless of what you do with Scum, with the exception of moving him into threat range of Mallet, the main reason to activate Scum first is to force the Mason player to essentially waste Mallets activation, thus leaving Friday to do what she pleases with no fear of reprisal, at least not until the next turn. As for Friday, it wouldn't hurt to have her go and get the ball from Harmony assuming she can make the distance of 11" (2" dodge, plus sprint, plus her 1" melee). One thing to note here is that if you positioned Scum correctly in the previous activation, now would be the time to use Friday's "Get Over Here" ability which may give you a nice Ganging Up with the cat. That would require 1 of her 4 influence, spend her 2nd to momentously tackle the ball away, spend the 3rd to possibly momentously push Harmony away, and then (again assuming the distance works) use one of these momentums to fire off Friday's Heroic setting you up to hopefully use your other momentum to shoot on goal if you're within 10" of the goal. All that said, those distances look questionable from the screen shot, so if all else fails just get in on Brick or Flint, or Mallet for that matter if the Mason player left him in danger, and unload. Again remembering to use "Get Over Here" to bring the cat in for the ganging up ability.
Great production (as usual :))! I noticed the difference in how Pep measures versus Rodney. Pep seems to measure the distance and then consistently add about half an inch. I don't know if that's as important as it is in games like Warmachine or 40k but you guys should agree on one method. Can't wait to see how the rest of the game goes!
+Rich Van Meter I did notice it, but it's mainly a question of trying to coordinate measuring from weird angles for the camera. Now that we're not going to be showing the measuring on screen, we can get up and move around to measure more precisely.
Charge brick. With Friday being tooled up it's plus one damage So not only would it be dirty knives for 2 damage, but you'd probably get some more damage. With only 4 dice and 2 armor on Brick it is harder than you think to land successes. Possibly send a dirty knives Flint's way, but stay away from Mallet. You're too far away from Spigot for the +1 Def if you charge or run to Flint and Harmony and Mallet will will put a pretty good hurting on Friday with 2 crowded out and probably a singled out on the first attack.
As a self-proclaimed arts and crafts master, I am very inclined to print out the entire game and give it shot, but I realised there's one crucial problem with that. I lack a victi-...I mean opponent to play the game with, so I guess I'll just be joining in on the audience of this game!
Better than UEFA and World Cup. Plus we get to do real damage EDIT: i thought of making a joke here a bit but i see how frickin good and hilarious your videos are. I love this. Best gameplay videos i’ve come across. I’m gonna buy this game thanks to you guys.
Wow. This is incredibly well done. Like Hats Off Games said, the doing away with the rulers after a few show measurements, but also the superimposed (is that the right term for this?) images, the use of focus... Thank you for such quality work. I really regret not being able to donate (I do not have a credit card, and the dollar to Argentine peso rate is abysmal), because I feel bad watching these for free. For what it's worth, I am subscribed and recommend this channel to all my gamer friends here in Buenos Aires. On another note, I'll have the nerve to make a suggestion: I think it could be cool to use those "superimposed" graphics more. A lot of times, for cards or tableaus, text isn't very clear and it's sometimes difficult to read abilites and such, especially on mobile. Anyway, thanks again and keep up the great and inspiring work!
Thanks for the kind words. The superimposed images are always quite a bit more work, but it helped that Steamforged had these cards already available digitally, so kudos to them for that. It helped! Not the sort of thing I can do with every series (we're still a small operation), but where we can, we will.
I got into Dread ball at the wrong time. couldn't find to many people to play either. this looks like a cool game, somewhat similar. if I could find the disposable income and the people to run with, I'd be tempted
i think is a great game but it is hard to find playthrughs of it. And lately i have been playing x-com 2 for the pc so i'm in the mood for some alien themed boardgames

Great video! Looking forward to seeing what the Community decides to do!
Another gameplay series! YES! I love these videos!
Thanks Nathan :)

It's almost as if you've played Brewer's before...

Your support makes this sort of thing possible, and inspires me to keep trying to improve in new ways. Thank you.

Great video! Can't wait to see more. Don't forget to add a momentum for every completed pass.
+Mac Thatcher For sure (we didn't miss any here, I don't believe - though that last pass I don't show it, I mention it).
The production on this video is great.
Thanks so much!

Great job- (especially with the awesome pop-up stats in the corner)! Where did you get the cool mat?
Thank you, we hoped the popups would be helpful! The mat is a Steamforged product.
Shadow Like Friday then charge Honour. Get your momentum and then kick your goal. 4-0 Brewers!

Either way, thanks for joining us for this play through Jordan!
I look forward to the continuation of this series.
i would love to see level 7: invasion get some vids on the channel. :)
Haven't played that one, but know of it.
i think is a great game but it is hard to find playthrughs of it. And lately i have been playing x-com 2 for the pc so i'm in the mood for some alien themed boardgames
You guys should do Resident Evil The Deck Building Game + Expansions
Not played that one, so no plans to currently.
