Different ethos to me and our group. We put a lot of effort into our games, a large table 12x4 most times, 100's of figures, scenery buildings etc. The last thing we want is for the game to be over in an hour what a disapointment. To arrange the meet up when all are avalaibale, set aside the day and all turn up i and i think most of our guys want the game to last for as long as possible. We usually start around 10am and go ontill 6 to 7pm. Thats a good days gaming for me.

Always happy to see you do more MYZZW videos

Rather different faction, i can see zone ..things being their bane with a little bad luck. Better have a fellow robot near you to help need be!

They look like they have a lot of interesting abilities that others don’t have. Though there lack of innate movement modules to let them nip around the battlefield can be hard (makes sense with them being clunky robots though)

Great video! I will be getting the expansion soon! I like the depth you go into for strategies too.

I can only agree 100% with your vision of the game, the rules and simply fun around a game table! I love Deadzone, I dream of testing Firefight. Thank you for your videos, it feels good in the tons of channels oriented towards competition... no interest to me!

I am rather fond of extolling the virtues of Deadzone, despite the requirement for their terrain. I use it as a miniature agnostic system, and the simplicity of the rules allows for some easy yet effective house rules to season the game design to taste. It seems to be the sci-fi equivalent of Warcry, as they both occupy a very similar design sphere. So it is an easy recommend to Warcry players; and is the reason I sought out Deadzone in the first place.

I bought this game mostly on your recommendation. Will get the expansion soon too.

great to see Zone Wars being played. I recently picked it up and looking forward to getting stuck into it 😄

zone wars is my group's current intro to the table top, loving it

Good to see Dust making your "honorary" list. We're actually playing out the entire Dust catalog on our Weird WWII channel if you wanna check it out.

Deadzone is an absolute MVP for skirmish SF - the starter gives you everything you need, and the game just does everything right mechanically, the cube system is a game changer. The only nitpick I have is that they paywalled the listbuilder app, they really shouldn't have done that as it put some people off, for what, a few more bucks in the pocket(is it even profit if people stop playing the game)? Other skirmish SF games with a solid 2-player starter I would recommend to have a look at are CYBERPUNK RED - COMBAT ZONE by Monster Fight Club, and BLKOUT by Enemy Spotted Studios(I believe both also offer a free rulebook on their homepages to try before you buy). And for the "just a PDF rulebook - miniature agnostic" option, I recommend having a look at ZONE RAIDERS and/or SPACE WEIRDOS. And finally for SOLO play, you can't go wrong with FIVE PARSECS FROM HOME. Cheers for the video! Keep up the good work, looking forward to see more

Deadzone is fantastic. I'v eyet to get in a game of Firefight but I went in on the first KS having had positive experiences with Kings of War. Alpha strike is a favorite of mine and an added bonus is being able to use Heroscape hex tiles to make maps for battle. It works quite well. One thing I highly suggest is trying a miniatures agnostic game. Xenos Rampant is a great one to try as you can take the plunge and stat up any models you like and have a game. GW Space marines versus Ewoks...no problem, you can make that happen.

Highly recommend Deadzone. If Kill Team seems a bit too overwhelming, 3rd edition Deadzone is a very good alternative. I feel the grid-system scares away most people, but it is wonderfully implemented and doesn't take away from the traditional dynamic movement of using gauges and measuring tapes in other wargames.

I think plutonia is a she?

Balance your audio please. Goodness broke my ears

I like that there is a connection to the planets and not just open space but some more "naval" style fighting seesm easy to add. Escort a ship/drop/somone from the planet away, find x, destroy a certain ship or X smaller ships with limited time....

They seem a bit to similar to the Scourge to me, Scourge need a host and these Bioficers also so far have a huge appetite for bio-mass (for it's own sake). But they could be an interresting twist. The Scourge might take ovre the bodies of others and inhabit them while the Bioficers "eat/consume them to keep going (for some AI-hivemind reason)?

Hi Carl, how do the Zone Wars figures compare with Zombicide figures? Can you use them in the same game?

I enjoyed watching that Carl, you two are too nice to each other, the needs to be more anger with those dice rolls.

At 31:19 the attack from Angrboda to Echidna, those 2 hits shouldn't have hit, as Echidna ignores first 2 wounds by monsters

Wonderful video! Mythic Battles has so much immeasurable depth, I wonder why it's not as popular as some other Wargames. Marsyas is such a strategy-destroyer, I love it.

are the river tiles you are using from battlesystems?

At 19:58 you spend a die to turn a 3 into a 5. Not allowed unfortunately.

Nicely painted, not my style of game though. 😅

Odd that One Hour Wargames (Neil Thomas) never got a mention, easy intro to historical wargaming on a small table (3footx3 foot but easily adapted to 2 foot square. Another good intro for historicals is Bob Cordery's Portable Wargames, not many figures required and can be played out on as small an area as a chess board.

😂 how do you like them apples!

I’m surprised the bioficers don’t make flesh bodies and sell them to the scourge as hosts that would be cool lore. At first I didn’t like the ship designs but as I learn more and keep seeing them they have been growing on me to the point where I’m now ordering a starter set. They remind me of the alien rifle that shoots lightning from district 9 movie.

looking forward to playing this, thanks

Mythic battles is a good game if you can overcome the rules wording, some flawed maps, the setup time, the space taken by the boxes, some broken characters, scenario mode… So for me it’s not 🤣

What game are those infantry miniatures from?

I preordered the Company of Heroes game years ago and never got my copy. I’m still pretty mad about it.

Warcry is a great game

Ambush is awesome!! 🎲🎲

Great video! Anybody knows the name of the "more toys" tower at 0:48? Thanks!

thanks

One hour wargame should also involve being able to pay for the game with an hours wage.

I love fast wargames. One hour Wargames and One Hour Skirmish Wargames are very versatile as long as you don’t mind being creative. Brutality Skirmish Wargame is great for a balanced experience with small footprint. Relicblade is 2’ table and usually wraps up in under an hour for me. And lately I’ve been dabbling with Mike Hutchinson’s Hobgoblin for larger battles that still play lightning quick.

Then there is One Hour Wargames by Neil Thomas. Covers all time periods (and easily adaptable to more as I've written Kaiju, Zombies and other variants), uses only 6 units per side, easy to teach and games can take place in as little 20 minutes. The rules seem almost too easy but gives a very satisfying gaming experience.

I thought you would mention One-Hour Skirmish Wargames by John Lambshead. The card driven mechanics are quite different from other wargames. Nice video.

A rather obscure wargame is ZynVaded! Takes about an hour, with only 3 models each side, and they're 1:1 scale! The meta is that alien invaders had BAD info, and didn't realize how huge earthlings actually were. It's adorable and super easy and fast to play!

Great list! I'd love to see more videos like this, showcasing miniature games that can be played under an hour on a smaller table footprint (2'x2' or smaller). There's plenty of them out there and they deserve more love than they're getting! <3

Great video and well produced!

I love the models they are so beautifully designed to look like a weird machine insect hybrid. Great fade in and out of the music in the video btw

Great video, i want to play Battletech, looks fun

Honestly, for me is best of the best wargame Infinity, then Malifaux and Warcrow.

Great list!

War games or leave job? This video means I no longer have to choose.

Great to see you bringing the models to life !!! Really appreciate the painting tips !

Hey Carl, just did a review on this and linked your video as a great way to learn to play. You did a great job here, and as the rule book is rather lacking, I hope more people find this video!
