MANY THANKS for that simple demonstration. You captured the essential flavour of the relatively straightforward but deceptively subtle mechanics of the rules, which make for a very easy to learn game, but one that can ebb and flow alarmingly, depending on the capricious “luck of the dice” and can gratifyingly reward or mortifyingly punish those who are brave enough (or reckless enough…) to “push their luck” further than their opponent… One error that you made a few times however - just for clarification - was to forget that any failed activation die IMMEDIATELY offers a “reaction” die roll for the opponent, BEFORE the player who had the initiative gets to complete their successful activation roll(s).

This video has proven its quality.

Good stuff! Hope we can see some more of this in the future!

Great little review! I think it is important to note that in Advanced SOBAH you do not automatically pass initiative to your oponent on two failures. Your opponent may choose to do two reactions instead :)

Movement isn't done as normal ruler measuring is. Short may be 3" but you don't move the front of the model to the 3" mark. This is why you should have your 3 different sticks for short, medium and long. Movement is done by leap frogging the stick. In cases like this a model with a larger base will over a period of turns actually get further ahead of a smaller model with the same move. Seance your measuring from the front of base and then resting the back of the base to the front of the stick, a larger size base gains. It's just easier to use the appropriate size sticks rather than a standard ruler.

Love this game :-) I don't think you can just pick up and move the prone skeleton and stick the ghoul in , though.

Thanks for the batrep.

For the reaction on the one failure of the second dwarf, when you let the skeleton stand up, you would have to roll the reaction die, dont you? A failure just gives you the roll for an activation (reaction). its not automatically granted. Great game! I bought the supplements as well at ganesha games.

Dwarf Ranger...walking contradiction:-) Just kidding here mate! I got into asobah just recently and am desperately seeking any info about this game (not that many -well not on YT - sadly) but this game - I must say - is one of those precious few that I like to call " a Jewel among many others", definitely one of my favorites along BoB and Epic Heroes, mostly due to where I come from ( heavily RPG influenced tabletop player..) Again best of luck and happy wargaming.
