Seriously... "Moist Jungle is only 1 entrance to get in... and everyone is in the Moist Jungle..." best lines of any UA-cam video I have seen all year...
I've had this game for a really long time, and could never play it because there was something about the way the squad set up and point costs were explained in the rules that confused me.. I've got TBI from the military, and a bit of neurodivergence ontop of it too, so I just put aside stuff I can't get into and then forget about it. I just came across the box again while clearing out other stuff, and I decided to look up videos to see if I could get into it at all, playthroughs WITH rules explanations, explaining why stuff happens and what point costs are, etc, etc... The way it was all so clearly explained in this video was perfect, it was exactly what I needed to unlock playing this game for me. It's not like other playthroughs where people just play the game; I really needed the clear explanations for things, and you've given it to me! Thanks for the upload, you got another subscriber.
Hi - so glad you have joined the 'Dark Side'!! I love this game and I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun - don't bother with expansions yet as there is a lot of game in the the core box! (BTW if you need help with any aspect of the game, Jester and myself are here to help) 👍😉
I absolutely LOVE your color commentary, and how you clearly explain everything you're doing! Just got this game and your playthrough is immensely helpful as well as entertaining. Thank you and keep up the great work!
So glad you're doing this, jumped on it immediately and pausing half way (I'll be back). Not seen a Pacific playthrough before, those Hostiles! I've paused at Human Wave 😬😲!
Quite enjoyable. I like the color commentary, really adds to the immersion. I think you may be overlooking your sniper’s ability to avoid being targeted. Keep up the great work!
Well done sir. I will be ordering this game (except Warfighter Modern version). Your explanations, and commentary are entertaining and educational re: this game series. Thanks, and please upload more playthroughs. Subbed.
Wonderful Warfighter play through. Thanks for all the effort you put into this! It helped me understand the rules better. In particular, when you were reviewing the card details. Also, your narration is excellent - concise and to the point. Well done!
Woohoo! Great to see you playing this again. I played for a2-3 months when it first came out but not touch it since. It might just be time to dig it back out.
Great video Rough, love it! I may have missed this in the past but where did you get that card holder from? Not the slotted one (I have those) but the three-part doohickey
Awesome. Warfighter makes for great playthrough series. This is the only Warfighter variant I don't have. I already have the European theater variant which makes this one seem a little redundant. Maybe some day, but for now I'm pretty satisfied battling the Nazis. Plus there's Japan expansions out there if I get desperate for some Pacific action. Have you tried PMC yet? I'm just sinking my teeth into that one. Really fun. It's basically "Warfighter" the Campaign... and it adds a Corsair Leader style RPG progression for your soldiers.
Hi penoyer79 and thanks for the comment. I get what you're saying and that's the great thing about this series is that you can add expansions as and when you want. I'm afraid I don't have PMC (just ETO, PTO and Modern) but it's seems very popular along with Shadow War. :-)
Thanks for this video! I am curious though. Wiseman's first attack on the Human Wave (26:24) was a three. I know this wouldn't result in a kill, but wouldn't it result in a suppression, as he had beaten the cover of a one?
Good production quality on all of your videos. I got this game and need to get back on the table again. How would compare the Pacific (Japanese) version to the Europe (German version) of Warfighter? One more difficult than the other? Thanks Rough.
If you like Warfighter I reckon you would love Combat! Rough. Volume 2 just came out and is truly epic. It's taken a great game and turned it into one of the best solitaire wargames.
Hi Timothy, I would love to play Combat but the price is too much. Maybe if you contacted Compass Games to ask that you'd like to see me do a playthrough, they might send me a copy!! ;-)
@@RoughSwordsmanWargamer I can give it a crack Rough! It’s not cheap but I actually think that it is worth every penny and then some. There’s a huge amount of content to the game which is increased exponentially with volume 2 which as well as introducing a strong RPG element has true unlimited replayability. The system itself is terrific, playing it gives a feeling like being in that final battle in Saving Private Ryan, more so than any other wargame I’ve played. For the amount of game but also the incredible playing experience it delivers I would happily have paid double - it’s that good in my opinion. Destined to be a classic I think.
Hi great play through really helping with playing the game. Wondering if you could tell me what the red text means on player soldier cards. Do I have to put the negative skill cards with them from tge start. If you could help that would be great...👍
You should have kept drawing Hostiles at the start until you had 3+ points worth for location #2, along with Human Wave, as the other hostiles went back over location #1.
Hi The Last Motel and thanks for the comment. I don't think that's right - hostile cards are drawn for the location card until you equal or exceed the card's experience point total, regardless of where they are placed. (I've checked the most recent ruleset and can't find anything about that - let me know the rule section if I'm wrong so I can look it up.)
@@RoughSwordsmanWargamer Really? Ooops. Sorry. That's me confused then :) I've been playing as though the ones who get moves to another location upon being drawn, because of their card effects, don't count for that location. Been making it harder on myself lol
I have it and really like the game and the stories that unfold but to me it is too fiddly. Too long to set up and too much to remember. I'm probably just getting old and easily irritated by little things but finishing a game is really hard anymore! Good video though!
That's a shame - it's a great game! The set up and working out who and what to take is my favourite part but I get what you're saying. Hope you get back to it one day! :-)
Like the video very much. But I don't understand why the Hostile, HUMAN WAVE, was placed in the first location, SHORT PATROL, in the Mission card. Shouldn't they be placed in Location #2, MOIST JUNGLE? Was Hostile, HARASSING FORCE, played correctly? With a Range of 0, they will never be able to fire on the designated target if they are two locations away.(?)
Here I am again. lol This is for my knowledge, in no way am I trying to call you out at all. In fact, I think I am mistaken with this since I do not see anyone else commenting on it. But I am a bit confused. According to my calculation you have spent 64 Recourse Points on your squad, when Short Patrol only allows 45 points. According to the rule book, and my understanding of it, all Marines, all weapons (including grenades), all skills, and other equipment cost points. Am I right, or do you feel I am mistaken on this? I am currently trying to do Short Patrol as well and there is seems to be no way I can stay under the 45 RPs and have 4 squad members and all the gear that comes with it.
Hi, the total cost of the squad was 45 points. Player soldiers come with a couple of things but generally speaking you have to buy extra stuff (weapons, grenades etc). So my player soldier cost 12 + 3 for the carbine + 5 for the grenades and 1 for the the binoculars (stuff on that soldier's card itself you get for free) = 21 points. The 2 NPS cost a total of 8+9= 17 and come with everything on their cards for free (you can't add anything else). Lastly, the squad soldier cost 7 and doesn't normally come with anything, just his number of actions and range (you cannot buy anything for squad soldiers). Total of 21+17+7=45 points. Hope that helps 🙂

Human Wave should have been placed in the Moist Jungle location. “Target Closest” doesn’t mean the card is placed in a different location.
Thanks Stephen, I'll mention this in the next video. 👍
I was just debating exactly this point. Good catch
Seriously... "Moist Jungle is only 1 entrance to get in... and everyone is in the Moist Jungle..." best lines of any UA-cam video I have seen all year...
and said with a straight face... 😉
@@RoughSwordsmanWargamer yes you did...lol

Really glad you enjoyed the video (it's one of my favourite games!) and thank you for the sub! 👍😊
Just enjoyed the second half of video. Brilliant fun, and I like how different some of those Japanese Hostiles are!
Thanks SOLO - I think those Japanese hostiles are more difficult to deal with!
@@RoughSwordsmanWargamer Certainly looks that way!
Thanks, Rough. You and Jester are my co-enablers. Just ordered the core WW2 game. I enjoyed your play and look forward to enjoying my own. Cheers.

That first grenade roll was exactly like all my rolls in Warfighter 🙈
So glad you're doing this, jumped on it immediately and pausing half way (I'll be back). Not seen a Pacific playthrough before, those Hostiles! I've paused at Human Wave 😬😲!
Thanks SOLO and glad you made me get this back on the table!! :-)
Thanks for putting this up! I just bought a copy of Warfighter WWII Pacific and this has really helped me learn it!
Man, I LOVE your tutorials and the enthusiasm you put forth while playing. Thank you!!!!!!
Glad you like them - thank you! 👍
really like your videos, close look at the cards, makes me feel playing too
Thank you Jarcore! :-)
Great playthrough Rough! Clear explanations and entertaining commentary, lovely shots of the cards and overall action. More warfighter content please!
Thank you malorum! More to come :-)
Using tweezers is so smart! I'm going to use them the next time I play. Thanks for the video! Good game m8
You do a fantastic job explaining while you play and I really enjoy your accent!!
Thank you kindly Thomas!
Another awesome gameplay. I love these videos Rough! Warfighter is one of my favorite solo games.
Thanks Andrew - it's one of my faves too!
Quite enjoyable. I like the color commentary, really adds to the immersion.
I think you may be overlooking your sniper’s ability to avoid being targeted.
Keep up the great work!
Thank Cory, appreciate it. If you're talking about the Camouflage card, I think that only applies at the start of the hostile's turn. :-)
Well done sir. I will be ordering this game (except Warfighter Modern version). Your explanations, and commentary are entertaining and educational re: this game series.
Thanks, and please upload more playthroughs. Subbed.
Hi RipTide thanks for the sub, I'm sure you'll enjoy Warfighter! (I love DVG games so there will be more in the future, I'm sure). 😊

As always, watching your playthrough is a pleasure 😊
Good stuff my friend 👍. I subscribed.
Thanks eric and for the sub! :-)
Terrific set of videos. Well done.
Banzaaaaaaaaaaaai!
Like the game very much, added to my wishlist
Thx Rough
You'll love it Brun - its' great!! :-)

Good job Rough

Thank you 😊

Hi Mike, I could be wrong but I always feel that the Japanese hostiles are more of a challenge. :-)
Sir, what is that Dice Tower you have. I love that carpeted look
Hi, it's just a cheap self assembly one from ebay - I just covered it in thin self adhesive foam as it was too noisy!
@@RoughSwordsmanWargamer Very cool, thank you! Great video. Ordered my copy, should be here on Wednesday.
@@SandboxJ Hope you enjoy it!
Nice vid, thanks for posting. Where'd you get the card deck holders?
Hi sw, the deck holder is from Broken Token :-)

Hi, I'm afraid so! All skills (pos/neg) and any other items listed on the card are what the player soldier starts with.

@The Last Motel That's the beauty of solitaire games - no one's watching so no rules are wrong! 👍😊
Are you planning on doing an unboxing of the North Africa version of the game? There's no unboxings of Italian Royal Army that I would love to see.
Hi Shane. Unfortunately I won't be getting this version (unless DVG are kind enough to send a review copy).
I have it and really like the game and the stories that unfold but to me it is too fiddly. Too long to set up and too much to remember. I'm probably just getting old and easily irritated by little things but finishing a game is really hard anymore!
