    Excellent slides and presentation which show that with higher level wizards even a +1 to cast/dispell can be highly influential. I am going to look at the cost benefit analysis of having various items that change results even by 1.

    First video I watched, the slides and obviously pre-prepared script that accompanied it was EXCELLENT! Only thing I might consider is a quicker/stronger intro to lead straight into content, thanks and asides can be saved for the end, hook everyone into your content right away - which is great stuff for people. Math-hammer is a niche, but very appreciated topic.

    Many thanks for the work you do. It's VERY helpful, and actually informative. You have a great twist on the TOW topic. Two cents: 1. I belive it would be great, if you'd show some short story/scenario where somebody did something and it backfired, while if he/she knew what the probabilities are, he/she would restrain or change that decision. 2. If you could help us and showcase some tools one might use to dive into probabilities of their armies, that would be great. I think you use Excel mostly, but probably there are some tools like anydice, grimchart and other, which might come in handy. I'd love to hear your opinion.

      Thanks so much for your comments. It means a lot to hear how people are finding these helpful. I’ll take the feedback onboard for future videos.
      In terms of tools, I’m mostly using Excel. For the big magic probabilities table in this video I wrote a Matlab script as it was easier to code in that than in Excel for that level of complexity, but 99% of the time you can solve most of these problems in any old spreadsheet package.

    Exceptional video!
    GW should employ you to help inform their game balance! Or really anyone with a grasp of basic probability 😅
    Looking forward to more videos from you!

    Magic in ToW feels overpowered and bland at the same time, on top of that it interupts the flow of play due to casting every phase. I don't like it and it is one more nail to the coffin for ToW and me to return to t9a after the revelations of a few weeks praxtical game experiences (dragonhammer, linehammer to an extend, great weapons not working so great with iniative mechanic and step up).
    Other than that, great video and thanks 👍

      Thanks for your comments on the video.
      Sorry to hear you’re not loving the new game. I guess it’s not for everyone, find what you love and embrace what brings you joy.
