      i agree, i can't wait for nurgle's plague to leave us so i can try to get on and play a game with these magnificient dice tossing gents. they are why i am still painting on my ... uhm... 4k ish points i've acquired since the plague started. still haven't played an actual table game but i'm killing it on TTS. this channels what got me wanting to play so badly.

    • @ps2ps2guy
      @ps2ps2guy Před 3 lety

      Could I throw a suggestion out? If a player makes an important play-by-intent move relative to a piece of terrain, a shorthand note on screen or very short comment on the key decision. e.g. "heres the movement phase yadda yadda yadda, and we have the ghost ark moving behind this obscuring to avoid those eradicators. Shooting phase begins! Yadda yadda yadda."

    About halfway through I was thinking, is this the best game I have ever seen? And then not long after that I was sure, best game I have ever seen. The gameplay and strategy was poetry in motion, unbelievable to watch and really showed me just how exciting, tense, gripping, thrilling a good game can be.
    I would dare anyone to find me a team that makes better battle reports. It just doesn't exist. Like why isn't play on tabletop getting some sort of massive contract, and worldwide coverage??
    And can't forget to mention the editing. Man, the timing was excellent, so well chopped up, didn't miss a thing while still hitting that rough 40 min time line, and the music this episode, like what?! Came out of nowhere and just made some thag was already epic, ten times more so 👌
    Great team, great content, great players. That's the winning formula right there.
