- Man, I absolutely adore this game. I already love the story of the Czech Legion, to see it brought to life not only so faithfully but also in a very creative and unique game format - I love it. The train is a unique and interesting mechanic, having to maintain it and keep the various needs supplied is engaging and the actual combat is very fun, though I would say it's definitely the jankiest part of the game, specifically in regards to stealth. But once bushes were introduced, stealth became a lot nicer.

I'm back to releasing videos btw! Been gone a lot this year for a variety of reasons, mostly personal, some of them for the same reason I ended up at the front in Ukraine. Really want to get back to releasing videos and streaming on a consistent schedule again, as I've been missing it hard, and I have a lot of videos I'd love to work on. Already have several videos ready in the backlog with more to edit. Enjoy! EDIT: Oh yeah, and I'm streaming over on Twitch because streaming on CZcams was negatively affecting the channel, sadly.
Do you remember the name of the game you played some time relatively recently of Soviet partisans in WW2 and in the tutorial mission you shoot the mayor for collaborating?
Wait, you've been at the front in Ukraine? You gonna show us?

Here's a (translated) exempt from a book by a White general-leutenant of Kolchak's army, Konstantin Sakharov:
"After retreating to the backlines Czechs also begun accumulating their loot there. It was astounishing not only in quantity but also in diversity. ... Czechs even had no shame in claiming as their prize the library and laboratory of Perm's university. The exact value of stolen by Czechs is uncountable. By most conservative estimates this so called tribute costed russian people many hundreds of millions of golden rubles." - Сахаров К.В. "Белая Сибирь."
Looks like your idealised view of Czechoslovakian Legion is just wrong if even sworn enemies of Bolsheviks say things like that.

THE CZECHOSLOVAK LEGION IS A UNDEFEATED NAVAL POWER. The funny part is that it actually is, it had 1 naval battle on a siberian lake where it strapped a random artillery gun to a ship and blew up some red army vessels. Couldn't be prouder of my home
16:38 "Červená karkulka" easter egg
I believe it was lake baikal if I’m remembering correctly
"Czechoslovak legionnaires captured the steamers Sibirjak, Burjat and Feodosia during the occupation of the Baikal ports. They armed them with four howitzers and used them to land in the enemy's rear."
"Českoslovenští legionáři při obsazování bajkalských přístavů získali parníky Sibirjak, Burjat a Feodosia. Ty vyzbrojili čtyřmi houfnicemi a použili k výsadku do nepřátelského týlu."
@@Linki8uu You are indeed remembering correctly
if that's true, I feel like that says a lot about the red army. I mean... really?
ti si cygan?
The story of Czechoslovak Legion was so much sought out by people in interwar Czechoslovakia that it had created entire genre of literature called "Legionare literature" which we czechs count between classics of our literal history.
Btw. Captain Langer character was inspired by real legionarie, František Langer who was later one of the authors of "Legionaire literature".
That is actually so frickin' cool.
That makes sense, considering all the bullshit the legion have to go through just so they can go home.
I...might have to see what of it there is in English.
do you have any suggestions for the best novels from this genre that have been translated into english?
Please share any titles translated to english, now I want to see how that became classic.

Rimmy did you learn NOTHING from WW1?
Merely an issue of wanting it bad enough
@@freakymoejoe2 Luigi Cadorna, how did you get a youtube account?
@@BarFlyLS20Athat's the funniest ww1 general reference I've ever heard
He also put a lone man out to try to grenade an entire squad...when they already saw him. Rimmy ain't the brightest
He got drunk from the power of the bayonet charge, like alot of leaders actually.
When there was the 100 year anniversary of Czechoslovakia, the train travelled across the country, vagons, equipment and reenactors included. I was working on WW1 high-school project, so I naturally went there as well.
What was it like?
@@thegeneralissimo470 The train? Pretty much the way you see it in the cutscene, and the interiors in the game seem to be modelled after it as well. Bunks, stoves, shooting positions, hospital, whatnot.
@@fantasy9917must be one hell of an experience
This entire video can be summed up as: "Rimmy making happy boy noises for 24 minutes"
And we love it!
The pinnacle of "train autism"
hi gary
As Czech, this is such a wild experience to see Czech language in games. Czechoslovak legion were bunch of badasses.
I remember checking out the train (more like the recreation of it) in my town and I was instantly hooked, I started reading about the history and stuff that i didn't even know existed. So good to see it again in a game form.
@@bettonn I remember watching a video about history of the russian revolution. What side conquered what and it was hillarious to see Czechoslovakia conquering land from one side of Russia to the other during the conflict.
Not exactly someone you would expect making drive through middle of Russia.
Same here. Makes me really proud to see someone who isn't Czechian play our games.
*Czech Official:* "Okay Captain, how goes your progress? Have you avoided war?"
*Captain:* "Well, we encountered some Red soldiers attacking a village, so we had to kill them..."
*Czecho Official:* "I guess, in such chaos, it can't be helped... and one squad of Reds won't matter that-"
*Captain:* "...along with everyone at their army camp. It was on the way, so we figured, why not?"
*Czech Official:* "..that...might...complicate future negotiations, yes, but we can probably blame the Whites, so maybe-"
*Captain:* "Aaaaaaand-"
*Czech Official:* _"Oh lord please no."_
*Captain:* "The capital of the Penza Oblast was in the way, so-"
*Czech Official:* _Sob_
Captain: "We also made off with the Russian Imperial Gold Reserve"

@@ondrejsedlar7003 it did actually, shortly after the execution of the Tsar
"We wanted to get home. They refused to let us go home. We made sure they stopped refusing us to go home."
This game looks like it was put together with love
They invited a lot of different historians on it, too. They made sure the game is as good as it can.
Reminds me of how stories were told in COH1 and it's DLC's
My only thing would be renaming troops or direct control like men of war or call to arms
Exactly the word that came to mind before two minutes had passed. Even the completion banner at 4:35 had love embroidered in.
Well, apparently some of the devs literally had family in that conflict among the legionnaires. So it seems the whole thing was rather personal...
That's it... making a Czech Legion documentary now.
HELL YEAHH
As a person from Siberia, I must say that this is simply an incredibly wild game, one of a kind, if i may say so. The formation of the independent Siberian Republic, which lasted only six months, was possible only due the uprising of this legion. So i'm REALLY looking forward to this game.
the independent siberian republic? interesting, never heard of that, that's kinda funny that it somehow appeared for whatever reason
@@Someone-lr6guthere were many republics that aroused between 1918-1920
@@user-vn6no3ci4f well yeah, but i've never heard of the siberian republic

I love that they have the old red and white Czech flags in the train. Very nice detail
not czech but czechoslovakian flag. After the split of Czechoslovakia czechs took czechoslovakian flag as their own and their answer was around these words "well dear Slovakia, you got your nice flag, but since we are no longer Czechoslovakia and that rule was signed as Czechoslovakia then we take Czechoslovakian flag as our own" :D
@@urdnotwrex6969 it technically is the Czech flag as it is the official flag of the Czech region of Bohemia. Yeah, Czechoslovakia used the red n´ white flag from 1918 to like 1920. (Poland was created and we basically had the same flag lmao) Funnily enough, it almost became the Czech flag again in December 1992, when during the govermental debates about the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, a Slovak senator brought up an agreement, to which the slovak side agreed, that said something like: "Neither of the successor states should have the Czechoslovak flag, as Czechoslovakia will not exist anymore" and one of the quick Czech propositions was the exact red and white flag with the Český lev. But due to a Czech skill issue we still have our Czechoslovakian flag to the present day :D
čl. 3 odst. 2 ústavního zákona č. 542/1992 Sb., o zániku ČSFR - „Česká republika a Slovenská republika nesmějí po zániku České a Slovenské Federativní Republiky užívat státních symbolů České a Slovenské Federativní republiky.“@@urdnotwrex6969
"I didn't fix that fence just to watch it burn" is a big mood.
17:23 THAT'S a SPACING moment.
Dear god an entire squad with ONE explosive. This already has me hyped.
As many of the other Czech(or Slovak) people already said its so cool to see this story (basically one of the main reasons why Czechia and Slovakia exist) be made into a game. One of my relatives (my great grandfather) actually was brought back to Czechoslovakia via. a Legionary train and we actually got his diary somewhere.
Legion being reason those two exist, what?
Western front participation, lobbying in US and allies not being huge fans of Germany or Hungary.
I think they helped to reinforce national myth and persuade allied powers but Czechoslovakia would have happened anyway.
@@robertkalinic335 Czechoslovak legion definitely helped to picture us as nation which was on side of allies, not on Austrian-German side in WWI. Without legion, we would be seen just as any other part of Austria-Hungary and as a defeated nation.
@@Pidalin I remember there being other czechoslovak legions or units, my city literally has statue of guy who was if I remember correctly one of heads of csk military command or whatever was it at the time and he has nothing to do with legion, serving instead as pilot in France and Italy.
Kind of material i saw about Czechoslovakia from ww1 presented in America didn't show anything about legion in the east, but trying to sell the idea of czechs and slovaks building democratic usa inspired nation by the people subjugated under austro hungarian monarchy.
You dont even need eastern legion, americans would probably jump on that alone.
imagine how many lives would have been saved if the legion was simply sent trough Murmansk.
would that have been a faster and safer route?
@@ham_the_spam4423 Murmansk is unbelievably cold and barren they may even have to travel through St peters-berg which was in the midst of a total war complete with markVs and the like so no i don't think so
Good point... but ice exists.
@@TheArklyte , Kola peninsula's nearby seas do not freeze, you can probably get to another developed railway in Norway by traveling near shore
@@theess1275 , + if they went through Murmansk they could have had a fight with the Finnish Malma's group, but that is unlikely because militia led by Ivan Spiridonov held the frontline away from the railroad

If you think about it, video games might be one of the most effective ways of teaching this kind of history: it's one thing to be TOLD about how much these soldiers had to endure, it's another to experience it, to actually make the difficult decisions, to become emotionally attached to each individual and to actually be responsible for their survival
or propaganda
Another good Czech game.
Its quite outstanding compared to AAA games nowdays. Glad to see another cool entry.... Arma, Dayz, Mafia, Kingdom Come, Space Engineers, Vietcong and now Last Train Home and Bulánci.
When Arma 4 hits, I would like to see how it compares to other games in the shooter genre. And also the Enfusion engine by Bohemia... damn Im excited to use it
EDIT: 16:40 - Is that a "Červená Karkulka" reference!?
Dun forget about Hidden and Dangerous 2 my guy.
@@leshifty1999 Cant name em all chief
@@leshifty1999 you have just unlocked a core memory, thank you so much. I fucking loved that game so much

Hello Rimmy. I'm glad you had so much fun in the demo. I played it too and had a blast. Although you could have left the Czech voices on.
Just a humble brag, I will most likely attend the release party here in Prague. I will relay your enjoyment.
Nečekal jsem že u tohoto kanálu narazim na dalšího čehuna, a ještě k tomu soudruha z Tarcaidy. :D Nazdar, vole, rád tě tu vidim. :D
After the machine gun woopsy, I got whiplash when the female legionary yelled ''For the Republic''. I got transported back to 2005. Love it!
Rimmy is confirmed Czechoslovak.
My great great uncle was a member of the Michigan Polar Bears of the Michigan National Guard that were sent during the western allied intervention into the Russian civil war that tried breaking through to the Czechoslovak legion, the weather in Siberia fucked him up the rest of his life but he lived to be 90 years old
As a czech I'm happy that you play it
If you want some fun fact : Czechoslovak legion once occupied territory longer then Europe it self.
23:11 he actually did it... iconic.
I'm so happy you are playing this game. I'm a quarter Czech and proud of it. These types of games I have trouble playing but I will struggle with playing it becuase of the story.
As a dev, after years of hard work with all the passion and struggle to make it just right and on time - one is tired. I'd say "Glad you liked it" but that wouldn't quite carry the meaning. Reactions like this make all of it worth it and are like a pure energy directly into my veins. We're proud of the Train, and really fucking hyped to let you have at it. Just 7 days to go.
Já tě vidím! 😂
I just played the demo and really loved the gameplay, but why is the Red army portrayed as moustache twirling evil, its very silly.
Ask car an his family
The mention of Valkyria: Chronicles gave me some fond memories of playing that game
if Kaluga is a village, then so is Prague.
Yes, it could not be called city, more like town, but definitely not village. .
ČESKOSLOVENSKA LÉGIA JE NAJLEPŠIA!!! Greetings from slovakia! Thank you showing the world of the least talked about people! The soldiers who fight without a country!!! After being subscribed for a year I never expected this! ❤❤
I’ll be mad if this doesn’t become a full series
This looks incredible. From the cover art and promotional material I had seen, I assumed this was some sort of alternate history thing, kind of like Iron Harvest. I had never heard of the Czech Legion before, or their story of evacuating east through Russia. What an amazing story, and a very interesting setting for an RTS
Lindybeige here on CZcams has a fantastic vid on the subject, highly recommend
@@firestorm165 thank you for the recommendation. I watched it and was totally fascinated. What a very interesting piece of history
@@davidhopley2661 Absolutely, the way I describe the Czechoslovak legion to my friends is "Anzacs with rabies", glad you enjoyed the vid
A really fresh video. Time for me to watch. Thanks!
This game honestly looks so fun, it combines a bunch of my favourite gameplay into a single package. Cannot wait for the full release.
as a Czech, i approve of this
Big fan of yalls pistols lol
Nice video, nice to see a game made out of it!
Seeing you gush over a game is something we needed for morale boost
A bloody amazing game it is. I binged the demo and made sure to have no losses. Characters feel just way too...full of character. Also respect for visiting the front line. I ended my deployment some time ago after weeks of fighting. You have BALLS man. Again great respect. And glad to have you back, I missed your content.
It makes me so happy to hear you excited about this game.
This looks amazing, I just hope it doesn’t focus squarely on the reds, it has a great chance to explore the Russian civil war and also there’s a lot of wild Czechoslovak legion stories with almost every faction in the civil war (reds, whites, greens and even the Japanese iirc).
I just hope it’s not all "fighting the dirty reds" "we’ll show them there’s an alternative to the reds" and hopefully we’ll see more of the whites and things like the greens the further east the game progresses.
(Basically hopefully more then 1 enemy, cus there’s a lot to the Russian civil war more then "reds bad")
I agree, the civil war had many parties, but Czechoslovak legion fought almost exclusively against the reds, since they were those who wanted to either dismantle or forcibly conscript the legionaries. Since the journey takes us to the east, I am afraid that we will probably only meet reds, whites and other nationalities, while greens operated (correct me if I am wrong) mostly on the other side of the Ural, where was greater population density and where populace resisted war communism (looting and forced conscription).
Yep. Our legion even got into skirmishes with chinese bandits in Manchuria.
ok, what is the Japanese story
Tbf, the reds were bad, they were actually quite evil during and after the civil war.
@@szylaj Japanese and American troops invaded Vladivostok in the "Siberian Intervention", I don't quite know what the Americans wanted to accomplish but the Japanese wanted to control Siberia, and this is the inspiration of the whole Transmur thing in Kaiserreich
It's funny, I saw an ad for this game and thought, "Rimmy would love this game, it looks like something he would play" and here we are now lol
Never thought a Rimmy video would greet me with my own language. I've always thought that this story of the Czechoslovak Legionnaires would make for a perfect game or a series and now it's finally happening. I'm really happy you're showing it to the world here and that you are enjoying it.
I've played the demo myself and did a full stealth run. It took me forever and I had to reload the game a million times, but I did manage to get through the entire demo without any of my legionnaires taking a single hit. I probably wouldn't recommend playing the game like that but it is certainly an option :D
Man I've been asking for exactly this type of game for years now.
Glad someone finally made one, here's hoping it's actually as good as it looks.
@@Unknown_Genius
Nah, man, if it was half as good it would be dogshit.
such an amazing historical event, im sp happy its been made into a game that looks this good.
As a Czech, this is absolutely wild to see this story get more popular attention worldwide :)
Native language? Yay
Vzhůru hlavy drazí kamarádi... (translation: Heads up, dear friends - beginning of a legionaire song)
Edit: 12:22 Yes, its called Legoivlak, and its a moving museum of Legionaires.
Never heard of Czechoslovak legion but to see the story presented in this way is really cool. Will definitely be doing some more research later. On top of that the game seems amazing, heres to hoping it gets a good full release someday!
8 days. The game is coming out in 8 days. On 28th of November.
It's so nice to have a game reviewer for strategy titles. With TB dead and gone it was so hit and miss. Thanks for the videos.
This game just _oozes_ charm in every single way, I'm absolutely going to play it when it comes out. The fact its inspired by a neat part of history i'd not heard of until now just makes it cooler.
I may have actually read something inspired by the legion in hindsight, maybe. Would Alistair McLean's Partisans count?
I've been following this game for ages - such a good concept and based on the legion's great journey east !
Thank you for making this review. It made me purchase the game. Looking forward to more videos.
Loved the video @RimmyDownunder! Can't wait for the next video man! Last Train Home looks like it's done by the same People who made Iron Harvest back in 2018.
Rimmy, the absolute whiplash I had when I heard spoken czech at the start of the video
This is an incredible looking game, the depth is amazing. props to the devs! Can't wait to play
I don't think I've ever seen Rimmy this happy. Also, I've never heard of the Legion before. Always happy to learn more history
Ive seen ads for the game and wasnt too sure about it, but after getting a good look at it with your video just wow this rts is amazing
Been looking forward to this one, and it makes me happy it looks THIS good.
Wow did not know about this. Im hyped. Thx
Love the story and the idea. Went to the Czechoslovak museum in Cedar Rapids, Iowa one year and they had a whole VR experience about the war train and the legion’s journey through Russia.
This game looks like it was made with love and passion. I am 100% getting this game on release. The Czechoslovak Legion have such a fascinating story and I can't wait to explore it in this game.
I saw this game on a trailer and was immediately hooked.
Seeing this? It's now on the definite buying list.
Always nice to see Rimmy this excited about something.
When the artillery piece got the close up I thought "damn, that reminds me of Valkyria Chronicles", only for RD to say the same thing.
I knew you would love this game. I played the demo during demofest on steam and it was awesome
i am czech and i had the privilidge of being able to visit one of the real legionary trains its certainly an experience that makes me proud of my nations history
I would love to see this as a series and episodes of this. From your moral choices, this would be pretty interesting to see.
rimmy doin the little happy claps was adorable
Frick... I wondered what happened when I heard my home language in a video, thanks for makeing this Rimmy.
As a Slovak and a History Fanatic i absolutely adore this game thanks to this video i discovered it and i am very greatful :)
Amazing game. Great work of art, great story, very good attention to details. Great job from the devs !! Highly recomended.
games featuring armored trains is more needed i love this def wishlisting
Gotta do this with “arma 3” coop
I have just the scenario! Historically the legion was making such quick progress that the reds were afraid that they knew the location that the Tsar and his family was being kept and ordered their execution to prevent his liberation.
In fact the legion had no idea but what if they had intercepted the runner on route to the safehouse and decided to mount a rescue mission
Love how he called a Dráp Drip!
Lol greatvideo!
I had heard of this game being developed, but somehow I forgot to wishlist it. Thank you for reminding me, Rimmy.
The amount of quality on display is fucking wild, definitely gotta take a look at this game when it's out
I wishbyounwould still make series as i would LOVE LOVE LOVE to see you play this more.
This is Some Quite Fascinating History 👍
this gameplay looks awesome!
Jesus those cutscenes were gorgeous!
i'm sorry to stop watching this video halfway through, but after that opening act I knew I HAD to play this game and experience it for myself. Thanks for the stellar content as always RimmyJerryBeansMan
Ok. I did not expect to see the first gameplay of this game by Rimmy. I love your pronunciation of Czechoslovak names😂 It makes it so much funnier.
i didnt expect czech voice acting on the start, amazing.
At first I thought this was gonna be train management with events and dialog options popping up every now and then and I was already intrigued. But then they added full on tactical combat section on top of that and now I'm just impressed
love that the grenades have a realistic radius, overall this game is fucking amazing!
Love how it started tapping out SOS when the telegram station saw you
i remember they did a live-action teaser trailer for this game, that was sick. ive been looking forward to it coming out, and crossing my fingers it didnt suck.
I never expected for rimmy to play a game about and from our big brothers. The game looks really good.
From what this game looks like, it looks like a more indepth game based around the train mission of Iron Harvest, I can't wait to get this
Please do a play through of this when it launches. It was a lot of fun to watch.
This game look SO DAMN SPECTECULAR, I just found out about it and everything about it seems to hit the spot right on the head for me. One of my favorite games is dawn of war 2 because i love comanding small specialized troops and making squads fit for every situation, I love the logistical aspect which this game is handeling VERY well so far and as a fan of the Guardsmen in warhammer whom are based on this era so that strikes a cord with me too. This project is a passion driven game which definitely shows. I will be buying this game on release, that is something i don't normally do with games from lesser known developers but after this they will get my faith that they know what they are doing.
Nice to see you actually made it to Moscow and didn't stop miles outside the city :)
Yo I hope your ready this post m8 but I bought the game and I love it. I thank you for this recommendation.
Very cool game the live action moments are very well done and the real steam train was badass
This seems like a genuinely amazing game and is exactly what I’ve been looking for I seriously hope it comes out on xbox
I saw adverts for this and I was *hoping you would play this*
I'm not even a huge on war sims, but the concept was so intriguing that I actually *watched* the advertisement lol
I'm definitely going to buy this game when it's realeased
This game seems to have so much going for it, holy shit I'm definitely following it and waiting for full release
I have watched this video and I have on
Y 1 thought, and I know this is only the demo with the rest incomplete, but the desire persists
*MOAR*
I know it’s a ahistorical game but they wouldn’t have called anything a “Genocide”. The term wasn’t coined until 1944 by Polish lawyer Raphael Lemkin.
this is such an underrated part of history
NGL I've been looking forward to this game for ages. The military game genre has a noticeable lack of Russian civil war content, despite the scope and variety of the conflict.
