Ben. 6+ years later. Thank you so much for this video! Very well done. I like the cadence at which you speak and the depth you explain each rule. Very, very, well done! +1 subscriber today. Thanks!

Thank you for this really great video. There are many war gamers in Korea who are interested in ASL, but they struggle because of the language barrier. Can I ask you one favor? Can I dub your video in Korean and post it on my channel? The source will be clearly identified and no profit will be made. If you allow it, Korean war gamers will be very happy.

Can Calvary blitz (like A&A) through unclaimed territory and claim 2 territories in one turn?

13:25 I think you have the effect of Air units in China wrong. The modifier for air units doesn’t add to the Offensive Baseline Value. It is instead added to the die roll.

what program/tool you use to animate all of this things?

first videos made me fall asleep, wishing never to see this game again. Then, they made me want to purchase it immediately, seeing that I ve seen worse and should make the effort of opening this tigh virgin’s legs before entering a world of wonders 😅

When you start playing with vehicles in ASL, the game stops being fun. You're accompanied by the constant feeling that you're definitely doing something wrong and it starts to be very annoying. Too many rules, full of small unreadable information on tokens that you cover up with a turret token. The game has too many verbal abbreviations. Thanks for the video. It helps, but it's still hard to grasp.

11:36 - attacker armor rating is higher in the defender armor shift. It should be lower.

10:32 odds ratio is wrong?

What would happen in the following situation? France’s moves: Burgundy supports Munich. Munich moves to Berlin. Russia’s moves: Bohemia supports Silesia to Munich. Prussia moves to Berlin. Does Munich have to retreat? Thanks,

Alguien sabe porque Devir le coloca borde blanco a las cartas de la mayoría de sus juegos?

Hey! Excellent video as always. We are a little confused. At 8:55 or so, there is a leader with a unit that is given a green check on the right flank, indicating that it was ordered. But the battle card shows two center sections only. Why is the leader/unit on the right flank checked?

Another perfect Job on rules explaining, thanks! If your playing global what size table do you need to comfortably put everything in its place and play?

such a well designed game, there is so much going on and there are so much options but it still manages to stay simple in a way

yeah this guide is the best on CZcams it's just so good

So does this game let you play out different strategy's for the war or is it scripted so you can only play out what happened historically or you lose?

Great tutorial series. I noticed one rules mistake at 16:55: ARVN has to redeploy troops from any Provinces that don't have COIN BASES (6.4.2), control is not relevant.

I like to try Germany vs. France without the intention of taking it, to allow Italy capturing France. Germany has nearly enough starting units to take UK or Leningrad even if UK or Leningrad puts more than 12-20 infantry on. Germany needs close to 16 transports for its starting units plus some navy defense. Germany should have enough starting ships and planes to take the waters; dont use any German planes in France. If Germany holds money round one, Germany will have enough money to build a large navy all at once. Germany has to keep their planes positioned to attack either Leningrad, UK, or perhaps participate in the sea. Dont be afraid to loose some planes in the land battle, its more important to actually land. First move, let Italy take France. Itll give Italy more money for the capture + steady income. That extra money that can be used to expand. It will make the difference. I think of Germany as capital hunter that is willing to destroy itself because Italy is defending the home by expanding and securing the south resources. In theory, Germany will have lost most of its starting pieces and first purchase trying to land on UK or Leningrad. After Germany's first major attack, it will seem that only Italy is on the board. Germany will have destroyed a lot of its starting units in the amphibious and Italy will keep everything secure until Germany can build using captured money. Germany into France battle round one: (I think the math is right for this example but in general this is how how I calculate) 8 units @ 1/6 = 1.33 expected hit 3 units @ 3/6 = 1.5 expected hit 2.8 expected hit total, I generally round down because I dont want to build luck here into the strategy France starts with 7 units @ 2/6 1 tank @ 3/6 1 fighter @ 4/6 Expected hit is 3.496 or I tend to round up to 4; I tend to build luck here into the strategy. >> Continued fighting Germany into France and the 3 tanks still do 1.5 expected hit. After loosing four units, there are Four @ 1/6 = .66 2.1 total. Round to 2 France would probably loose a AAA gun and have due to another loss, there are now Six @ 2/6 = 2 tank = .5 Fighter = .66 3.1 and it would be extremely lucky to get 4. >> Run this again. But really the idea is for Germany to weaken France enough that Italy can take it. ___ Let the German player focus clearing the waters and repositioning everything to purchase 12-16 transports and some defensive navy to land everything they start with into either UK or Leningrad.

ANOTHER GREAT JOB AS USUAL. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HARD WORK.

Setting up the game includes instructions not found on the setup sheet?! Blows my mind.

Is there a big difference between the original 1st edition and 2nd Editions?

Hey, I'm thinking of buying another A&A in addition to my Anniversary Version. I'm wavering between Europe 2nd and 1914, which game would you recommend? How are the playing times for both? Thanks for your reply.

i know i'm not the target audience for this video, as i have been playing arkham horror for a bit over a year, however this was an AMAZING video, and i wish i found it sooner because i ended up watching about 5 different videos before understanding enough of the rules to play, and then slowly understanding the rest while playing, but your video is just a thousand times clearer than any other, well done!

Can battleships and destroyers attack land units on adjacent land squares or are they always purely involved in naval combat

I think the United States Super fortresses rule is a little over powered.

EXTREMELY useful. Terrific!

Are you going to make a Harsh rules for the expansion? I am trying to get new people into the game and your rules explanations are quite in-depth

Intensive fire can only be used in same or adjacent hex (3.2.4 -intensive fire)

I love this channel, you are making my life so much easier. Thank you for your work :)

Mozambique is twice as neutral

Spells are NOT often one of the two actions a player can do during action phase. Only if the word Action: appears at the spell's description. Otherwise, spells can be cast any time, ie during action phase, monster phase or encounter phase.

Ben, I have never seen such clear and concise instruction both visually and orally. I'm taking your instruction in a slow and repeating fashion, truly a joy to experience and learn! Thanks! 😀

Wow, this is a fantastic video.

Excellent series, I'm getting back into ASL and this helps immensely. Thank you!👏

Aren’t there ENT tree and eagle miniature units?

So sad this game is insanely expensive. Usually around 300+ if you want a complete version. Samurai swords is up there too

Funny how artificial intelligence can anticipate the words before they come out of my mouth but they can’t understand the words that do come out of my mouth f---- artificial intelligence

Blackheads and round tops off with their heads up their head I said blackheads flat heads heads flat heads heads and round tops blackheads flat heads flat heads and round tops thank you AI artificially intelligent retard

Wish this was more complicated…not enough rules..

Many Thanks for this!

How is supposed to remember all these nuances and one off rules..brutal. Why did the LRB participate if the Hollandia hex was empty?

Love your videos, long may you continue!!!! Glad your doing empire of sun sun!!!!😊👍

Very useful! Thanks!

The level of minutiae in this game might make it unplayable….like Cataclysm

This is the punic war version of the game twilight struggle.

(Might have already been mentioned) The Rule Book does state there are 4 Neutral Territories that cannot be entered or flew over! Basically copmpletely unused! (We have gone as far as using the "Nuked Terrotory" Markers from RISK 2210AD, but you can use anything to cover up those as a reminder.)

5:30 Was this game released before or after Awakening the Bear 3rd edition? Because here there vehicle costs for different terrain are all the same and your video says that wheeled units can't enter woods, but the Awakening the Bear rules say that wheeled vehicles can enter light woods for a cost of +2 AP.

@17:50 you show To Hit Procedure item 6. Add any firer-based to hit DRMs= “+3 DRM” but show To Hit Calculation Firer DRMs as “+5”… are these things different? the “target-based” DRMs are also different (+4 vs +1)

@22:05 the PzIII N “stops”… so why does case 24 “vs motion or Moving Vehicle” DRM apply @24:48?

Once again, superb video packed full with fantastic info. This one will likely need to be watched multiple times by new/returning players as there are so many ways for infantry to attack an AFV.
