The historical gaming genre needs more games like this. Doesn’t pretend to be a simulation, but is playable and accessible. Can still whet the appetite for history. Might actually appeal to someone under 50.

Excellent review. I just got my copy a couple weeks ago, and love it. Also excellent solo, because you never know what units will show up or how the dice will roll.

Its funny how such a dark theme, with that grey and black picture of soldiers marching to their death is reviewed as fun and perfect for the family haha and the map its really colorful and bright.

Great review to start my morning. I had similar opinions of the game. I am a huge WW1 game fan, and it seems each one implements interesting mechanisms for a fairly static war. Keep up the good work!

I really enjoyed my solo play throughs of this, not a brain burner which is a plus.

Looking forward to this one. I have a copy somewhere in the mail so I'm living vicariously through KZfaq for now :).

Great review. Really enjoy how you discuss things and talk things out.

I live far away from people I would play war games with and when they do visit we can't always learn and then play a grand game. This would be perfect. As always great content.

I love this game

So, given everything, which did you prefer: Attrition of Souls or The Lamps Are Going Out? Thanks!

Reading the Sequence of Play, Central Powers goes first. Does this mean that there are no Entente tiles on the board? And if so, what is stopping Germany from taking Paris on the first turn?

If you had to pick one game out of two Compass Games titles from 2022, which would it be? An Attrition of Souls or Imperial Tide?

Thank you for this review. It will help me make a decision on purchasing.

thanks for reminding me I can be stupid. should have bought this one when it was first on pre-order. Guess I'll have to wait and see if it's discounted when they have their winter catalog which comes out in... November? beginning December?

Thanks for the review and for having a WW1 theme month. Hope to see your thoughts on Empire at Sunrise.

I’m surprised you didn’t mention how movement works. I’m not the most seasoned wargamer, but I thought the movement rules were as unique & important as the combat resolution. You can only move units in your entry location and the once per turn “rail” movement is critical to your strategy. Have you seen similar rules in other designs? Just curious. Thanks for all the great content. Love the channel!

Triple 1s! You just blew your dice rolling luck for the rest of the year there 😁

Awesome review. Would you say you enjoyed Lamps more than this one? Of course it’s a bit more complex, longer and more of gamer‘s game of course but still

Very clever/interesting combat mechanic :)

Great review. But you got the combat rule wrong whem you role those three 1s. On that case the allies would also hit whith the britsh. You aplied the role to both sides complely. So with three 1s you can hit with two frenchs and one britsh.

The first turn is broken.

Honestly, I think this game is too simple. I greatly prefer games like the lamps are going out, where you have to make hard, important decisions about everything. This feels like a game of risk and axis and allies mashed together, leading to an exceedingly simple and thus boring game.

Did not enjoy this one. Played it for around an hour but it felt much longer. Like a lot of euros I have played, the theme feels just pasted on.
