Thank you very very much! At last! I was waiting for this for a long time, and it's happening: "this is Harsh Rules, I am Ben Harsh and today we gonna learn to play Empire of the Sun"! Hell yeah!
Thanks you so much. I just started playing "South Pacific" to see if i will be able to handle EotS and right now you are posting these videos. Pefect timing and superb videos!

This is great, can't wait for the rest of the parts! Small correction: On the intelligence roll, offensive units entering, exiting, or moving within enemy ZOI give a MINUS 2 to the roll (not +2). You're trying to roll low, equal to or less than EC or OC intelligence value on card.
Great series thank you. Just slight correction: No more than three friendly air and/or ground units (of any size) may be stacked in a hex. You can't have 3 air units and 3 ground units in the same hex.
Great video! Small correction : On turns 5-12, Japan draws a card for every two resource hexes rounded up, not an additional card. The way the diagram conveys the information makes it seem that Japan draws 4 plus more cards per 2 resource hexes and that's not correct. It's just that Japan can't draw less than four no matter how many resources they hold. So in effect, if Japan controls 0-8 resource hexes they draw 4 cards, 9-10 draw 5 cards, 11-12 draw 6 cards, 13-14 draw 7 cards.

I was hoping for this one! The visual style of these videos is awesome.
Can't wait for all the parts for this one.
Thank you so much for covering EotS! Really looking forward to the videos

This might be your most ambitious project yet. Were rooting for ya!
Impressive! Taking on the complex games.....terrific work!
Wow! I can’t believe you’re following ASLSK with EotS!!!! Bravo! I’ll be watching this later and looking forward to every minute of it.
My thoughts exactly! Ben is a brave soul indeed.
This will prove invaluable for when I finally splurge and upgrade to the 2nd edition fully.

Waited for ages for you to do this one
Love your videos, long may you continue!!!! Glad your doing empire of sun sun!!!!😊👍
I’ve always found myself drawn to EoTS but the rules were too daunting. Glad to see you chipping away at the beast!
Finally going to get this on the table now!

Thanks for the clarification!
Excelent work. I hope you can do the same with WW2: Barbarossa to Berlin to GMT Games.
Fantastic series
Dear Ben, another top quality video. Do you plan to also cover the Empire of the Sun Erasmus bot (CDSS)? It's a very interesting feature of this game.
Not sure yet. I've still got a long way to go on the 2 Player game.
Wow, this is a fantastic video.
Brilliant...
Great video! Thanks
OMG Thank you for this!

God's work.
