It seems also you never rolled defence dice for the kobold as he was chasing you around during day 2 encounter. Did I miss some special effect that prevented baddies defence to work?

@@Feldingor If that's the case I must have missed rolling it. I don't think any event card came up that said not to, so must have just been an error on my part. Any time stamp that I can look to to see?

@@BrewsandBoardgames it’s the battle starting at 23:17. You kite the kobold in lane 1 for most of the battle, but it seems you never rolled the def die after he moved. Not a big deal, it would eventually have died anyway 😉

@@Feldingor ahh yea you’re right I see it now. Yea totally missed that in game lol. I’f you’ve watched any of my other stuff I’m just bound to make mistakes man, I don’t know if I’ve ever played a game of TMB correctly haha. Thanks for pointing it out my man, like I said I didn’t even catch that until now

@@BrewsandBoardgames don’t worry, I’m never sure myself to play any game 100% correctly 😅 And TMB is not a light game with all the baddies abilities and gearloc skills to keep in mind while deciding the best tactic round after round. Just started delving into this game and your gameplay is pretty helpful in making sure I got the gearloc mechanisms right and take some tactical suggestions 😉

Haha that's an epic line that I'm going to use from now on, so thanks for that lol. I would check it out, you get some really cool gearlocs and mechanics from undertow, and cheaper than the core game. I think you'll like it. If you do, let me know or put up a playthrough, that would be cool.

Awesome! Both of those are solid gearlocs. Nuggest has probably one of the best skill dice in the game, both are all around fun to play and ones I keep coming back to. And that's true, you really only saw 1 mech from undertow, but no encounter cards or anything else. Oxide also comes with the Splice & Dice expansion. Thanks for watching Jack!

Thanks Jason, and yea the Unbreakable announcement really got me in the mood to bust it out again. Definitely give it a look when the campaign launches, I'll also be doing some coverage of it as well to go over a few things, recommendations, stuff like that. Always a good time to jump into TMB :)

Hey glad you found the channel and found the video helpful! Also welcome to TMB my man, it’s an amazing game. Haha thank you about the cat as well, my wife will enjoy you saying that. Plus I will be doing some more TMB live next week, so if you have some time stop on over :). Thanks for the comment.

​@@BrewsandBoardgames You got my sub, cool breeze.

Haha it sure is knowing it out of the park. I think I saw it reached 1million in the first 4 hours, crazy! Congratulations that's awesome! Carcass is so far my favorite looking one out of the bunch, he looks sweet! Who's the other gearloc?

@@BrewsandBoardgames I'm between Nugget or Ghillie for the second. I believe they said in the pledge manager you'll be able to add any of their products. Do you have a recommendation?

@@emsully03 Ohh man, both are very good, 2 of my top favorite gearlocs. Ghillie is pretty cool with his bow abilities and being able to hit multiple baddies, dealing 2x damage, he can also lay traps and has animals that he can place on the battlefield. It's fun to place the animals and hit multiple enemies at the same time, really fun. Nugget is cool because she can manipulate the battlefield and do things like changing her initiative position to go ahead of others, removing some baddies from the board temporarily, or giving herself movement or attack buffs. But she also has one of the best abilities in the game, the longblade, this is a ranged attack die that has no misses and doesn't exhaust like most skill dice. So you can continue to use it every turn. I have a great time with both gearlocs, they both add a great element of fun. Just grab both maybe? Haha. But if I had to choose 1 for now, I'd say Ghillie :)

Haha exactly Jon you got it! The Unbreakable announcement got me in the mood to bust it out again. I did give the brew a mention semi early, I wasn't actually in the mood for a beer brew for this one, I know I know... But that is an excellent choice, I actually used Voodoo Ranger IPA for the TMB review I did a while back. It's perfect because the Voodoo Ranger is all bones, great minds brother! I'll get an actual brew the next playthrough, and let me know what you think about the playthrough :)

@@BrewsandBoardgames Solid playthrough! I usually itch to get those skills dice after raising stats a bit. But it was a cool to watch you going heavy on stats and playing this "stick and move" strat w/ Ghillie, making good use of his range. Very cool, bud. And omg, would you believe I didn't even think about the "bones" connection to Voodoo Ranger? I was just thinking about the "Ranger" part, lol good catch!

@@jonudelson5320 Thanks man, and yea I was trying something a little different this time. I think during the beginning I got a little too cautious though, fearing the baddies were going to get some good rolls against me and I die. But yea it worked out in the end lol. Haha yea man the Voodoo Ranger is all around a great connection to TMB! It's Ghillie's perfect brew :)

The really cool thing about this game is it works extremely well at solo, just as good as multiplayer. And just the core game had Plenty of stuff, I had just the core game for months and that's all I played of TMB and I had no complaints. And cool thing is no TMB product is kickstarter exclusive, so you'll be able to pick it up down the road. It's also one of those games where it's easy to grasp the rules, but there is a ton of nuanced situations that come up. But once you get through that it's seriously a great game. I have some things planned, wrapped up 2 more playthroughs recently, but more will be revealed on those later :)

Hahah dude you better be careful! lol. But yea man I saw that update, I'm glad they posted the prices beforehand that was pretty cool. And yea that all-in is pretty insane, and that's probably a discount compared to if you bought things individually which I did a lot of lol. You could still hop in for the core if you were really interested. I'm telling you there is a ton in the core game a lone. And CTG does not have exclusive stuff, so anything available for this campaign you will be able to pick up later. Thanks again brother, have fun on the Honeymoon :)

@@BrewsandBoardgames definitely getting the core

​@@stephenjones8105 Good deal, I played just the core for a few months and it was fantastic.

Hey thanks Shaun I appreciate it! You're right about the mechs having the defense when entering the battlefield, I completely missed that. I do believe I did the self repair correct, I don't believe I rolled any defense for any mechs and automatically added the defense at the start of their turn (if not at full). Good catch though, and thanks for the heads up :) I'll have more TMB playthroughs in the future so maybe one day I'll get one right lol.

I'll also throw up something in the description and maybe pin a comment at the top stating about the rule. Thanks again man.

@@BrewsandBoardgames I love TMB and play it more often than I will admit, but even after all that play time, a recurring part of the game for me is deciding what to do after realizing I made a mistake or played something wrong.

@@shaunparks9928 Yea I hear ya. I'm usually the same way. If I discover I've missed a rule, I think, how big was the rule, how long have I been playing it that way and how much did it really affect the game. But overall I'm usually on the side of, hey if you tried your best to get the rules right and still missed something, if you're having fun it's all good.

Hahaha wow what a fail on my part. Yea that makes sense now lol. And not a problem pointing it out my man :). Ghillie is awesome, I don't want to give away any spoilers, but I wish I would have used the tech tree more, but it's just how the game turned out. Let me know what you think bro.

@@BrewsandBoardgames i've watched ablut half so far and you defo should have stopped the health fromnthe start and get the multi arrow steaight away then pile on the stats. Ghillie is ranged so you would have got a couple of skills and stats in the first few rounds then took it from there. look forward to see how this turns out 👍

@@markwilliamson3043 Yea probably right, I tried playing it a little different this time. It would have been better early on, I think I was being extra cautious for the recording about the baddies hitting me good and me having some bad rolls. But yea looking back I would have made some different calls, just how that game turned out. But I'm going to be getting more TMB playthroughs up so I'll switch it up :)

@@BrewsandBoardgames magic! look forward to those 👍

@@markwilliamson3043 Thanks brother :)

Hey thanks for watching them dude I really appreciate it, and I'm glad they are helping you to make some decisions. But no there isn't any rule about disadvantage in here, all ranged characters, whether baddie or gearloc, can hit any space on the board, even adjacent spaces with full attack. Ghillie has some realllly cool skills that I didn't showcase as much here. Just the way the playthrough ended up going, but he has some amazing stuff with the animal companions, traps and things he can do with his bow. Sometimes it's easier to explore the skills in a group, as you can work together to not be the only one on the board taking hits. But I was also trying a different method for this playthrough. That's a huge factor for me in TMB, the ability to try different builds with the Gearlocs, and some skills that you may have brushed off at first, you now see the potential for. Or even if you still think they're weaker, you now see how they could be at least fun to pull off and try them.

Hey thank you Andrew! I'll definitely have more playthroughs in the future, from across the whole TMB catalog. Any gearlocs you would want to see? Haha it sounds like you've stumbled into the right place then! Isn't it awesome to just kick back with a nice brew, playing a game, and then an animal jumps onto the table threatening to lay waste to all the components on the board? Haha. Awesome comment dude, and welcome to the channel, great to have you on board!

@@BrewsandBoardgames Thanks man! You've inspired me to break out TMB later to start up an Age of Tyranny campaign - maybe I'll bring Ghillie and Nugget. Yeah, if you have Gasket, I'd love to see a playthrough of him! All of the new Unbreakable gearlocs look awesome too... they can't come soon enough.

@@andrewraymond5367 That's awesome man, this campaign definitely got me more in the mood to break it out too! Awesome idea about Gasket, maybe Gasket or Nugget is what I'm thinking. They do look awesome don't they! I'm especially liking the 3 expansion characters, Carcass looks badass. Which one looks the coolest to you so far?

@@BrewsandBoardgames definitely agree with Carcass looking the most badass. I'd probably pick him first. Really interested in seeing the rest of the gearloc spotlights.The battle mat on Polaris is intriguing.

@@andrewraymond5367 Yea I'm really glad their doing the gearloc spotlights. CTG really know how to connect with the community man, they're a solid company. Another reason I really look forward to their campaigns, and that's even knowing everything will go to retail. But just them being an awesome company makes me more likely to back during the campaign.

Yea you’re right, mine were purchased separately, they are called brybelly clay composite poker chips. They have them in different colors. Hope that helps dude 👍. And let me know if you still can’t find them and I’ll try to send a link

Ya came across those, was hoping to buy fewer of each from a bulk site. I’ll keep looking, thanks for the help! And thanks for the play through! My first copy of the Base Game just got delivered today; excited to get home from work…

Hi there! My apologies for the delayed response! But if I remember correctly, Oxide is from the Splice and a dice expansion, though I’m not 100%. Either way a super cool tyrant.

@@BrewsandBoardgames thanks for the answer ))

Hey Miguel! So enemies can either be ranged or melee. Ranged enemies will stay in the same spot all battle, melee enemies can move 2 spaces to get closer to you, and they can only attack adjacent, so they are trying to move adjacent. If there is more than 1 space that gets them an equal distance closer, you can choose where they move to. So a lot of times this can benefit you by moving them to a certain spot, which might allow you to run from them easier. After moving, and if able, the enemies will then perform their abilities and attack. If playing a multiplayer game, there are symbols on the baddie chips indicating who it will attack in case of ties. Hope that helps a little!

@@BrewsandBoardgames thank you for you time and for the reply! I'm watching this video and it's awesome. The great channel you have here!

@@miguelsalgueiro7429 not a problem at all man, if you ever have any questions about anything in this or another video feel free to ask away, I’m happy to help if I can. And thanks for saying that dude I really appreciate it, it means a lot! :)

@@BrewsandBoardgames thank you again for your kindness.

I'm still at the $5 amount, there's no question as to if I am backing, I am going in for a lot more. My usual method is to just wait a bit, see what unfolds and whatnot. I hear ya though brother, it got me in the mood as well. Just clear the whole schedule for TMB lol. Who's your favorite to play, or one you find yourself gravitating towards mostly?

@@BrewsandBoardgames Stanza is my personal favorite. She’s a powerhouse!

@@SoloBoardGamingKnight Oh nice yea Stanza is really cool to play, very unique as well!

Oh and thanks for posting this, it reminds me of my son and I playing ALL of this

Hey Ramke I apologize for the late response, I'm going through my comments trying to see if there was anyone I missed and saw your comment. But yea Mechs are immune to fatigue so yea the parts shouldn't come out. But in addition to that. Oxide's Tyrant card states, "At the end of any turn in which Oxide would lose HP, separate it's bottom part and place on a mech starting position." Important part of that sentence is At the end of any turn, when fatigue takes effect that doesn't count as a turn, it happens before any turns. So even if Mechs did take damage during fatigue rounds, the way I read that, a part still would not separate because it's before any turns. I do believe I played it that way, but I could be mistaken.

Hey thank you Ramke I appreciate the comment! It sounds like you 2 had a lot of fun with it since you played so much. Very cool he was able to play it with you, is he still interested in board games? I can't wait until my daughters get older so I can start playing some games with them. :)

Haha yea I know, just can't help myself :)

Yea I might ask it on a bgg thread or something. Because why I thought that, and I have the manual in front of me so I can quote correctly. Page 19 in V.20 manual states under resolving the Roll "Note: As a Gearloc, you do not need to use the result of any dice you roll unless the Profession or rolled icon rules state otherwise." To me this sentence kind of means you can choose each die individually. And then I think it's kind of reinforced just by understanding if you roll a skill die, and it doesn't come up with a mandatory bones symbol, you don't have to use it. Meaning you could choose that individual die out of the roll to not accept. But then again, attack dice are different. So the question is like is it still use the total attack dice results or nothing? Or can you choose to apply 1 attack dice and not another?

@@BrewsandBoardgames Thinking since I watched your video last night, I'm with you. I think being able to "not apply" any dice gives you the option of splitting the successful ATKs. Other than one specific encounter I can think of off the top of my head, not sure when I'd use it but I'm sure there are more instances.

@@jazepi Interesting enough I was just watching I video from CTG on Gasket, and Adam stated in there that you can apply 1 dice at a time in whatever order. So that kind of indirectly confirms it. And yea I can't see it being used too much, but it is good to know.

Hahaha dude that's hilarious, that just made my day, well done sir.. well done. It's an amazing ability that Ghillie should use more often lol, awesome comment man :)

@@BrewsandBoardgames glad you liked it. You are creating awesome content. Keep it up. We have a similar taste of games and that makes me even more confident in getting stuff you approved.

@@Hisokegon88 Thanks dude that means a lot. I do put some good time and energy into this stuff so if people are enjoying it that makes it worth it. Also cool to hear we have similar tastes in games, we like the good stuff :) . Thanks again brother, seriously
