Late to the party, but love the table, the vid, and the wonderful view, gaming on a rainy day. You earned a new subscriber. 😊

My Dad knew a tank commander who was involved in El Alamein. He said that if the German shell just missed, you knew the next one was on target and already on its way. Cards can be a great way to represent "everything just worked" and also "there was nothing to help us". Points match games always brings up a stir, because, the USA had sheer manufacturing might on their side. A lost German tank probably couldn't be replaced, a Sherman could have three replacements for every one lost. A points match game will always look skewed. A great report. Love the terrain. Thank you.

A very interesting format. Very technical but there's nothing wrong with that! Loved the game board as well. Another great watch.

Best game put the ones on KZfaq as of now...Question; if a tank is peeking around the corner of a building should 't it get eh hull down bonus on the hit location chart if it's hit? I wish Warlord would give us pre-order customers a PDF copy of the rules. I preordered the the card and token depot dump set to get everything my group needs to play. We are going to start at 28mm but also considering playing this in 15mm with no changes to the measurements. I really like the "short range" straight to unlimited range... very realistic for a tank game.

A excellent watch and out of the 3-4 demos I seen on KZfaq the first will tanks being destroyed with single hits...also you answered a question of mine.... what happens when a tank blows up Vs taking 3 hits etc...Must order a copy of the rules and keep up the videos...

Neon green ford lol. Like it

Nice looking game, glad you enjoyed it. On the roll for additional effects from hull/turret hits you only roll 2 dice: If the first roll is 1-2 it's shaken and no further effect. Otherwise roll the second d6 for the effect

Cool report. 👍

Good game with predictable results given the lack of event cards. Perhaps firing smoke to shut down one Panther while using the other two Shermans (one the Firefly) to hunt and kill the other might be a better option? If you want to use the two Panthers in tandem again then have the Commonwealth troop be a Canadian or Polish one where tank troops had three regular Shermans (75mm) and one Firefly (17 pdr.). That might make the German a wee bit more nervous. Finally, the Germans were not the only Nazis about. I am a bit of a grammar Nazi, so please forgive me when I say that the singular of dice is die, not dice. Thanks for taking the time to film, edit and post this video. The game looks like great fun. Keep up the great work. Your channel is a credit to the hobby. Huzzah! Cheers and good gaming!

Awesome game lads!!! Totally stoked by Achtung Panzer!!! Roll on release day. Not unbalanced in my view, but realistic cause for Panzer 😨

Lovely table gents

Much better than first time! I still wish there was a way to incorporate the infantry game into it. Spot on result historically though!

Thanks for showcasing these rules. The force balance in this starter set seems way off - especially since this is the entry point to the game they are selling. The Panthers auto penetrate the Shermans from any angle, and auto kill the Shermans from the side. The Shermans cant even glance the Panthers 13 armour, but can hurt them from the side. The firefly gun seems under powered, same ap as panthers, and still needs a 5 to penetrate the panthers 13 from the front. Just interested in your thoughts on this after battling through it and the result you had.... and the expected results from most games. Considering that by the game rules what you had were equal stength on each side

Thanks for doing this, interesting to see the game played. I have a question though, is there any rules for each nation? I wonder if that rules for British tanks firing fast would help balance this type of game vs Panthers/Tigers. My Grandad was a tanker and when they came up against armour they basically pummelled rounds into the tanks, this didn’t always destroy the tank but had the effect of the crew bailing out as they were under heavy fire/spotted. Wondering if there’s any rules to represent this? Crew under pressure? Auto reload?

I have a question. Does this have allow for fighting from a hull-down position?

I don't necessarily think the Shermans are unbalanced against the Panthers. You just need to use the terrain more to your advantage and be a bit smart about it. It depends alot on your preferred style of play 🤷🏼 If I'm not misinformed, the shermans get alot more special ammo later in the war.

Hi I really enjoy watching your content, I am just wondering are you going to do some USMC gameplay.

Thank you for the video, nice shots, dialogues and gameplay. The actual game itself really couldnt convince me though. While technicaly speaking the tanks here are more different from each other than in tank wars, they all feel same-same with slightly different stats. The combat also seems boring and clustered and overly mechanical without offering more game depth or options. Just adding tests for every step along the way doesnt make for a better experience, it is just more random, less skill based and therefore more boring. I was hoping for more player agency and being able to do things, tanks couldnt in tank war or bolt action and for the tanks and crews to buy abilities, "learn" new tricks, maybe get wounds that permanently alter the way the play, same with the tanks, being able to upgrade them meaningfully or receiving damages that cant be fully repaired in the field. More versatile tanks like the Sherman with the Gyrostabilisers maybe should have been able to shoot during a move order, or maybe for tanks to drive through builings or set ambushes in them etc. Adding a dice check to see if the driver is able to fasten the seatbelt and to see if the tank commander manages to turn on the radio isnt my idea of an immersive game or fun. I think I wont cancel my preorder, because I got a core box for 78€ and I probably will keep the tanks and terrain and flip the rest of the stuff for Achtung Panzer! for maybe 20€, but nothing about this seems fun to me. Id rather stick to tank wars, there the tanks at least felt more unique and had more interesting abilities than the tanks in the video. I recon there are campaing features that somewhat do what I descrbed before, but with the actual game being this dull, I doubt Id invest enough time into it, or will even find players willing to play with me. As mentioned in another video no one in my playgroup preordered anything, since we didnt know the rules. And looking at the game now, that maybe was a good business decision on Warlords part.

As in real war, difficult for 3 Shermans to defeat 2 Panthers. Those cards are pretty lame by negating an action that already happened.

Too much emphasis on loading the gun. It’s really automatic

Beautiful table and tanks, it’s a shame the game system doesn’t better reflect real armored combat. Warlord’s armor & penetration factors are horribly represented. Your 17pdr should and did have a far better penetration value than what is represented in the game. Based on Warlord’s theoretical engagement range of 500m the 17pdr penetration value should be 13, not 8 !!!

This game really doesn't play like WW2. Thanks to omniscient players and too much terrain, the tanks weave in and out of terrain as they deftly avoid tanks they wouldn't even be aware of in real life (remember you are in a noisy steel can with limited visibility).

give this cars in german language ?
