Always a great video! 4:16: what the advanced game offers is so different from the standard game that they're really 2 different games. In my experience, new players get frustrated thinking the standard game is part of a "programmed learning" process to help learn the advanced game and that's not the case. The standard game teaches managing ground forces. But the air and naval rules for the advanced game have no relation to the standard game (additionally, the alternate air rules from supplement 1 are a third set of air rules). In fact, standard game scenarios can't be played with the advanced game rules rules. The rules and detailed SOP card make learning the game manageable, playing it well is the challenge because there are so many integrated/moving parts, it's as much a simulation as it is a game.
I loved this unboxing. I have played NW Vietnam several times using all the optional rules. I own NW Korea but have never played. Interested in picking up NW Taiwan when the new edition comes out. I don't have much interest in Mideast modern wars BUT I got very excited watching this. It reminded me what a great system this is and there look to be a lot of new options and player aids. I went straight to my computer to order Iran!
Great unboxing, Justin. Big Board has some videos of the first scenario.

3:00 sadly, the dice are incorrect...a 0 is a zero
@@mitchellland Saw that on BGG after I filmed. Minor in the grand scheme, at least for me. I own so many d10s :)
It's a B-1B on the cover. Not a B2.
@@johnwallace6368 Yeah, thanks. I misspoke; brain and mouth not on the same page.
@@Justegarde Great video!
@@Justegarde I was pumped to see the Bone on the cover! I was a B-1 WSO for 10 years
