I’d really enjoy watching almost any board game played with this high of production quality. More A&A would be great, but having some variety would be more enjoyable and probably better for channel growth. Especially reproductions of other world finals. This series inspired me to look for similar content for other board games I love, but nothing matches this! It’s just so well done.

I noticed a tricky tactic that Germany could have played on the last turn to give them a great chance of winning. The only Allied land units in range of Shanghai were the British tank and Infantry in the territory bordering Shanghai to the south (Kiangsu?). Germany could have flown their fighter and Bomber from the Caucasus to attack those units instead of landing in Shanghai. Had they eliminated those units, the victory would have been won on the spot without any Allied land units to capture Shanghai in subsequent turns. Such a nail-biter of a game!

I really appreciate you keeping the ending a secret. It really goes to show y’all’s dedication to documenting the games that there wasn’t much foreshadowing. I know y’all played as a team, I found it interesting that the other finalists were also a team. Makes me wonder if having someone to bounce strategy off of or hand the dice to when the rolls are bad is an advantage.

@BoardGameNation 5 ай бұрын

I have played in A&A tournaments solo and with a partner, each has pluses and drawbacks. A teammate can help catch silly mistakes, but can also break your concentration. I enjoy both options, but only with a good partner. They don't have to be the very best player. They have to be someone that you want to spend that much time "mind-melding" with. If you end up with a bad teammate, it can definitely ruin the entire experience. Thanks for watching!

Excellent series! One piece of advice about the way the game clock works (taking this from another long game with a timer for tournaments [Twilight Imperium 4]); they call it a soft time limit. After the 5 hour timer expires the rule is you finish the round you are currently in. So in this instance even if the timer expired at the start of UK5 you would play to the end of US5. IMO it makes so much more sense and isn’t as prone to trying to manipulate the time limit (these guys are all very sportsmanlike but just in case you run into people who aren’t). Since you made such a popular video on the series I’m sure the tournament organizers would take your advice if you decided to talk to them about this idea. Imagine if in the future the game clock expired mid-combat where one side was about to win, it’d be so unsatisfying and even if the other team agreed to allow the combat to finish it’d be a bit of a controversy/messy ending.

@stevenschkolne 5 ай бұрын

i believe they said earlier in the series there's a 15min grace period, so while they try to end by 5 hrs they are basically kicked out after 5hr 15min max. as for strategy, it seems having tournament games always 5 turns total, no matter what the time will lead to the most measured and fair gameplay (and about 5 hours i practice always, 6 hrs at the very max)

@BoardGameNation 5 ай бұрын

Thank you for the feedback! We are working on a ruleset for tournaments now that plan to start testing soon. It will likely use a timing rule similar to what you described. For certain, it will have separate timers rather than a shared time pool. Keep an eye on the channel for more on this as we have it. Thanks for watching!

This was a really cool series to watch! It's hard to keep such a clear record of how events unfolded and you did an excellent job of this for the audience. As you say, there's an endless number of things that you notice in hindsight but I have one comment that could have won the axis the game. They could have deployed bombers in Caucasus for G-4 and then taken out the infantry and tank in Kwangtung on G-5. This would have prevented the UK from getting that last victory city. Thanks again for the series, I hope to see more A&A content on the channel!

Excellent series! It’s definitely re-engaged me in the A&A- past disappointment with lack of playing partners. Win win with Renegade games, thanks all!

Great series! It really got me excited about Axis & Allies. I’d love to see some videos with other versions of the game.

Its my first time seeing your channel, and the quality of this video series is truly top notch. I just relocated cross country so the "find a player" project is pretty cool as well. Keep this kind of content coming! Cheers

Fantastic! We are still developing the Find-a-Player project, but we are definitely working on more play-by-play videos. Thanks for watching and scubsribing!

Great series and great production. I love that you use stills and explain with graphics and words instead of the oh so common camera-rollercoaster-footage I'm used to seeing. I would love to see more A&A or other game content from you!

Keep making content like this and your channel will grow, and yes, more A&A after action reports would be nice.

Quite a dramatic finish! It's been fun to follow along from a game I remember fondly from my childhood.

Loved it! Thanks for letting us all in on this tournament, and the action. My friend and I still play the old eighties orriginal second edition and we agreed to make one rule change. The Battleship one shot support attack on an amphibious assault if hits a enemy unit is removed from play. Thanks again for sharing this and all your help along the way!

Video has been great. Thanks for attempting to setup find a player, hope this works out. I see sacrificing a goat to dice gods helped at a critical point.

This video series is remarkably well done. It is comparable in quality to top notch youtube videos. The video quality, editing, and especially the fantastic commentary from two board game masters. This is a terrific showcase of a beloved board game series but *above all* it is entertaining! I used to play board games but not much in recent years. This series makes me want to pick up the dice again!

I've only ever played one game of A&A before and that was years ago, but watching this series was so damn fun. Really hope you guys do more of these games/recaps. Also the production value was perfection

Great conclusion to the series and congratulations for the title! Regarding the question what next, I have some feedback on what I think why I enjoyed this video series so much: Major: - play by play replay with deep strategy focus - your thoughts and discussions were really interesting and had me feel like I actually was at the live game, thinking about the strategies with the exact information available at that time (plus some strategic foreshadowing). - really high effort video and explanations that made following the action easy, even though I initially knew not much more about a&a than the picture on the box. Medium: - discussion between teammates and even with the opponent. A one-man-show video would still be nice, but having those additional inputs made it a lot more interesting. Minor: - the tournament journey and how the strategy played out against different opponents added to the experience. - the higher stakes of tournament play added some more tension (and the mistakes or inaccuracies made for some spicy twists that perfect play would not necessary have). Conclusion: I personally don't have much attachment to a&a, like a variety of games and would love to watch similar series/videos with other strategy games. That said, a lot of the points above I think are only possible with a lot of passion for the game from your side. If you think you can deliver the same energy and passion on another game, I'm all for it. If not, I'll gladly watch some more a&a. Also I need to talk to my wife about a possible 130€ investment into durable plastic and cardboard, this time through your referral link.

Thank you for watching and the wonderful feedback! We are working on a number of new projects now, A&A and other games (Diplomacy and others). Hope to see you there!

I’ve only just got into Axis and Allies and feel very spoiled to have stumbled upon this content. Fantastic videos Gary, both these tournament play videos and your how to play videos. You have a new sub, and fan! Would love to see more game play by plays like this, especially with Doug and your strategy insights, really explaining the why of each movement and turn. Thank you!
