Warfighter WWII Expansion #69: LRDG Unboxing
I think I know what my next Warfighter purchase will be. Wait... I'm going to need the Germans and the Italians... mmm.
So many decisions, so little time.
I really like the sound of these new features, while I won't be getting Vietnam myself as I already own more then Warfighter WW2 content, still really intresthing to see the ways to add in new mechanics into what has now become a 10 year old series. And unlike Fantasy which recieved some big critic on its rules this one seems very solid.
Thanks!
YES! You GET it! War games ARE a narrative medium! Great video! Can’t wait to see more and more expressions of these ideas and those that come from them!
Thanks!
My copy is scheduled to arrive on Friday and I'm really looking forward to getting this one on the table. I think the new game mechanics introduced for WF Vietnam are rather interesting, some nice tweaks to the system.
I do like how Battle Fatigue is handled in a simple manner. No extensive rules, just loading up your hand with useless cards.
Seems like a starter kit rather than a game that can stand on its own. Doesn't seem there's enough soldier cards to run either US squads or ARVN squads by themselves. I think that's a BIG negative. Maybe Im wrong though. I was interested in a Vietnam edition but think I'll stick with WWII as I bought a few expansions for it and probably unwilling to go down that road again. I'll watch the playthroughs to be fair though!
Never assume. There are 7 player, 7 non player, 7 squad, and 2 team soldiers. More than enough for the 8 missions and 8 objectives. While I have plenty of expansions for WWII, I could find myself playing just one of the core sets for many, many hours based on the variety involved. And if you've played WWII, then you have 90%+ of WF: Vietnam. The rules differences are explained in the video. I'm not sure how any playthrough helps because if you've played WWII, you have the basics for Vietnam.
I love COIN games for exactly this reason, for the narratives they provide us. Yes, you can argue that less is left to the imagination because the event texts explicitly tell us what happened, but seeing a story unfold because of a certain string of events coming out is always fascinating and interesting; imaging alternate histories, or trying to reproduce history, I just have a blast with them.
There ya go!

I’m looking forward to my WF Vietnam pledge arriving in the UK and also to your WF videos about it. Your WF Modern videos have helped me enjoy the series much more. Keep doing you.. ✌🏻
Thanks. The first of four WF Vietnam videos starts next week. But the rest will be shown over the next several months.
So much good content. I greatly appreciate you continuing content on the Warfighter series. Once you have invested so much time and money, you really want some reflective stimulation to sustain the narrative.
It's a big part of what the channel is about. From time to time, that needs to be reiterated.
whats up with printing error on the gameboard
I noticed that as well. It was recognized by Jolly Roger Games after it was sent out.
i just had this show up in my recommendations and its great, thanks! i was too late to get the first edition when it first came out, and the only copies I found back few years ago were super expensive so i kept putting off buying it,but then i found out about the revised reissue release and i got a preorder copy pretty cheap but then i missed the next expansions as I didnt think they were already released yet but then i couldnt get any from FF when i went to check. I have found a game seller that has them but they are almost three times what they should be costing. That should be a crime to overcharge that muchas its still a "brand new" released game. So some gamers have said that there isnt that much different between the OG and the reissues and ya can use some of the OG expansions with the 2nd Ed Base game. but now ya cant even find any of the 1stEd expansions for sale. lol so this helps a lot. I just ordered the new card sets though so i would at least get those as there are a bunch of new things added.
The revised edition is essentially the original edition with a few changes. If you do not have the game, then you can purchase either edition. The rules for the revised edition are available online for free from FFG.
First! I didnént expect to be first this time! Theres no comment on this video? Let me fix that! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great job thanks ❤
Thank you!

Team rules are team rules.
Intresthing idea for a series. If I had to create a German team from both German expansions (so not taking any soldiers from other battle packs or what-not) I would go for Player soldier Ewert (14 RP) with a K98 rifle (1RP) & local knowledge skill (2RP) - his main benefit is the leadership skill that will improve everyone's movement. Non-player soldier Marin (6 RP) the MP40 grants 1 XP, and he has 3 grenades which is great to deal with hostiles that have lots of enemies in them. Sqaud soldier Ludwig (5 RP) he has 3 actions and decent hit rate (range 0 hitting on 6, range 1 on 8). So great at taking pot shots at whatever hostiles. Sqaud soldier Beckman (1RP) he is pretty decent for a 1 cost soldier, has 2 actions and comes with 1XP, great for rounding up a team. Main idea is that Ludwig & Martin will be doing the heavy lifting, Beckmann rounds up the team & Ewert focuses on drawing action cards & firing at the occasional hostile if he gets the right cards like Steady aim, snap shot or Silver bullet.
Interesting list, thanks for contributing. More videos in the series are on the way.
Nice video, but you were placing dice in conflict with the rules.
Yup. that's what I get for trying to read the rules.
These are all superb.
They certainly work
Thank you!
No problem.
Need to start playing Normandy again using the Solitaire System. Unique that it is specific to each scenario.
There ya go!
Yes ,then act like u won the lottery and go all in on 8 high , laugh's after i folded on two pairs n lost to jack high 🐬🐦🦤🦤🦤
Pretty much

I believe they came from the War of the Worlds game itself. You can also purchase the black ones from DVG.

Thank you for the potted history of Up Front. I was aware of some of its early issues but I didn’t know that the SL community had been expecting (and would have preferred) an updated rules set. It seemed to me that it was a mistake to sell it as an SL card game because, to the SL players, it wasn’t SL, and to the non-SL players it was an SL product to be automatically avoided. I bought the original and the two expansions in the mid-to-late 1980s and it’s remained one of my all-time favourite games, albeit little-played in the past ten years or so. For a while, in the early 90s, we discovered the three-player (two-versus-one) rules and played it seemingly non-stop for weeks, before turning to something else. Whenever I’ve tried to resurrect it since, the re-learning of the rules always puts off the others. If nothing else, I’ll brush up on the rules with the help of your excellent series of videos and play it solo before the end of 2024. I have Warfighter WWII (Europe/Eastern Front only) but haven’t played it since last year. I admire the work you’ve produced here and I’m going to investigate with interest your Warfighter 29 system (although I don’t want to lose completely the delicious agony of trying to squeeze out the best mix without exceeding the Load Out). I hadn’t realised that a recent update of the rules had been published. I’ll download it from the BGG page and dive in. I had Fortune & Glory since 2013 but played only once (solo) before selling it earlier this year. The 1930s Indiana Jones-influenced adventure romp was the reason for buying it. The reason for not playing it was the cards: the designer and his friends visit the dressing-up box and emerge with ridiculous moustaches and obviously modern clothes. I’m sure it was the less expensive and quicker option, but the art and graphic design of the board is so good and carrying it over to the cards would probably have led this to being one of my most-played games. My loss, but I couldn’t get past those awful cards. I have Undaunted: North Africa only (plus Reinforcements) as I prefer WWII small-unit actions, usually solo but I have played with friends as well. I need to catch up with your previous Undaunted output and I look forward to your upcoming work.
Thanks!
All good content. Having started playing Shadows of Brimstone, Fortune & Glory sounds interesting.
It's interesting
🐬 Yeh budd , i hkan b hadd az well , got the des/jungle dekz , American size.

The game has to become more popular for that to happen.
Blimey I thought it waz more complicated than that , I've never seen a infiltratior taken prisoner, gutt taktikk , auf
It's not easy, but it can be done.
I cant get enough time in to get movement and combat down let alone prisoners...
In case you do, here is an option.
Having played hundreds of games, I have yet to take a prisoner…😑
But when it happens, you'll be ready
thanks!
Thank you!
At 2:35 you say that a Unaware, Paused and GFA hostiles do random movement, I am sure only Unaware hostiles use random movement.
I would have to review the rules again, but I'm not going to dispute that.
I'm a huge fan of fog-of-war in games. Have you seen how Space Empires 4X implements it?
Nope, can't say that I have.
Well done! Good games handle FOW eloquently. I like AMFS (Gettysburg) handling of it. Still not perfect but can throw a wrench in the works at any moment!
Thanks!
Hope you might have specific volume and issue information about something from the General. It was supposedly from an Up Front playtester who said there were supposed to be two exceptions to the no more than one LMG in a group. The first was for Italy, as historically they did have concentration in the main fire group. From what I have found that appears to be correct. The other exception was France, but only for play ballance purposes. Anyway, if you happen to know where in the General this might be found, I would appreciate it. Love your channel.
The issue was The General Vol 25, #6. And in the issue, it states flatly that suspending Rule 46.4 for the Italians was strictly for play balance purposes. Not for any historical reasons. In the same article, he suggests that the French be given a six-card hand instead of five, again for play balance purposes. I didn't read anything about suspending Rule 46.4 for the French. And finally, these are house rule suggestions, not official changes to the rules. The "whispers" effect convinced many that they were in the errata, but that's not true. It never became official at least during the Avalon Hill era that I know.
Your title is from an episode of "Kolchak: The Night Stalker."
Correct!
