Well it finally happened, I have died in a Tabletop CP game - 3rd times the charm they say. Glad to see you took my advice on having the operators tagged by the Mexican troops and having the radio be for calling in the reinforcements. Outside that a very good game and a very good scenario boys. Can’t wait for the next one.
Another great report and fantastic table! If I may play Captain Hindsight for a moment; I think the Good Guys should have set up a base of fire on the Church roof with a couple of LMG's and the RPG, but the mission was successful so no biggie. Something that I would personally like to see would be a Campaign using the rules in the v2 rule book, with Andre against Robert each acting as overall commanders for the opposing factions, and Travis as GM. I'm enjoying the narrative campaigns, but considering how the missions turn out i.e.: not according to plan, I think something a bit more 'dynamic' where casualties need to be seriously considered would make the missions much more tense.
Top quality production Travis. Can’t believe how far you’ve come since you started publishing your Games back at the start of Covid or just before. Keep up the great work.
Great battle and ditto regarding the board and scenery!! As always, looking forward to the next one. I was thinking about one thing: off the top of my head I'm not sure if this system has point scoring with regard to victory or if its more objective based - as in, if you complete the objective you win or if you complete the objective and score X points and then maybe there are other areas to score additional points etc. If so, it would be neat for the player who has the operators that are training the guys to maybe get 1pt (or something proportionally appropriate to the points scored by the other team, so its not just a windfall for the one player) a piece for each of the trainees that survive the mission - representing the fact that part of the responsibility of the trainers is to keep their charges alive as well. Also is more realistic in discouraging the player from using the trainees as canon fodder or bait -still want to employ them (so they get their combat experience, but at the same time the operators won't throw them head long against the enemy as well. Could even give another 1pt for each trainee that survived *and* engaged an enemy at some point - so that way you encourage using the guys but also balancing the risks you take with them, because if they engage the enemy and die then you don't score anything for that individual. (I realize this is probably way too involved for a scenario like this and/or it might not be applicable if the system doesn't use point scoring for victories period - but might be something you could try in the future in a scenario that is set up around this premise - with some other similar tiered means of scoring points fir the other team, or perhaps both sides are made up of operators and operators-in-training, and so the system would apply for both.) - Matt S P.S. if my economic situation changes/improves in the future I'll try to contribute. Right now I'm taking care of a parent full time and so I can't really do it at the moment - but regardless I've been really digging ya'lls content since i came across your channel earlier this year. I think I found you guys somehow, can't remember how exactly, by way of the Little Wars YT channel, which I've been following a bit longer.
Yeah you could introduce a point system Quite easily. It’s really only limited by your imagination. I thought about doing it for this game initially and even having points per building blown up but decided against it in the end. Glad you like the channel!
Great idea of the points system and the Mentor/trainee situation. Maybe after a couple of good games of getting those points you can promote the trainees to the next level. As has already been said..only limited by imagination😎👍
Great job guys! I want to play this game, but can't find the miniatures except from the UK. Do you know of anywhere in the US that sells them? I've found the rulebook but not the mini's.
You are changing your grenades form “to whom it may concern” to “residents of the following post codes might be a winner”. You need a tennis racket to hit the grenades back.

Outstanding game! Grenades being thrown about like Skittles🤣😎
Always love the Spectre games👍
Had fun watching this one. That intro though... Hollywood-esque!
That is an awesome looking table! Thanks love Spectre!
Love that you guys are liking Spectre and love the videos

Nice game! Maybe no shooting nor moving if throwing a grenade.
Great video! I think you've convinced me to get in to Spectre Operations. By the way where did you get the buildings with the terra-cotta roofs?
awesome! The Spanish style buildings are from Charlie Foxtrot models. Their Pantile range.
Where is this board game from?? Looks awesome !
It’s not a board game. It’s a tabletop miniatures game called Spectre Operations.
@@tabletopcp thanks
Do you use HotWheels for your cars?
No those are too small. Some of these are from a Walking Dead mini game scenery pack. Others are die cast toys.
