I'll be interested in watching some gameplay, thanks!

Thanks for the video.

It appears the game has sold well, but the development wasn’t very good and there are quite a few rules lapses.

Outstanding review and i have ordered this game from Compass during their holiday sale. Liked the way you actually walked through a quick overview of the charts and scenarios in a relatively short video. Very well done and much appreciated.

sorry, but light horse artillery is not just "basically calvary". Perhaps, you just meant for movement's sake ?

Cool! I play this all the time! What a great game - one of my all time favorite PC games. It really captures the look and feel of Warhammer 40K. I just recently moved on to learning the Orcs ... they are so much fun. I hope they continue to come out with new stuff for this - factions and campaigns hopefully. P.S. - I just noticed ... are you forgetting to use your Empower Surge ability?

Just also wanted to mention, this game has the best written rulebook in the history of wargaming. It's a very innovative system never before seen and explained with the clearest rulebook ever published.

I buy and learn the games, then pack them away and play them on vassal

Awesome video!

38:00 maximum drm is +4 or -4. Not +6

42:21 it is better to reaction fire first

15:42 Watch out! Pls read carefully the restrictions of Charge Order: generally you can't bypass nearest enemy unit, here the LI

10:03 remember the -2 drm for WC Ruppert

I really enjoyed the first video. Why doesn't this video have subtitles? Could you add them?

34:50 if a Light Infantry unit with a current strength of one alone in a hex is attacked in Close Combat by anything other than another one strength point Light Infantry unit, it is automatically eliminated. (11.6)

When you move onto enemy artillery unit, you mark it as “captured” but do not remove it from play. It stays on the table as it can be recovered later by the original owner, in which case you’d flip the counter to the “disabled” side. Captured guns are worth 2x as many points as disabled ones. Both are done firing for the rest of the battle though. (10.8.8)

26:12 hedges do not block line of sight between units that stand on the opposite sides of the same hex side (14.4). The cav unit would have received reaction fire several times for moving as it did.

23:05 I think you got that interception completely backwards. It’s the Parliamentary cav unit that is attacking in this case. The modifiers would be -2 for morale, +2 for momentum, -1/+1 for pistols, +1 for unit size, for a total of +1. With the die roll of 1 the attacker (the intercepting cav unit) would have been broken, not the royalist cav.

“5.6 Line of Sight (LOS) does not affect Orders in any way.” so the Cav on the royalist right wing would have to move towards those musketeers.

General comment: Thanks a lot for your step by step video. 🎉 The M&P series is great but the rules are really fiddly. I assume you forgot to use the AC EVERY activation. It is one very important feature to think ahead (AC may do only one action per activation. So moving hinders all other action including drms for orders change, continuation.)

45:18 don't forget to flip Fired arty 😊

41:23 why not trying to change orders?

35:12 at max 2 continuation

30:13 ...except if stacked/adjacent to AC (one one unit).

29:43 rolled 3 -1 for cavalry (I assume it is) = 2 = Preemption succeded

23:27 reaction fire of arty is limited to Grazing Fire Range

20:51 pls note the decision for interception must be made immediately (not after the second LI move)

14:47 if you move the AC to a hex where next activation will be a WC he could modify continuation.

17:48 isn't Fielding a cavalry wing? Then there is a -1 drm. On a rolled 8 this doesn't matter 😊

I have a couple of those (Comancheria and Antietam) so will be looking for more on those. I was going to get the next two you picked up from Worthington's sale (Shiloh and Seven Days) but the shipping turned me off.

Excellent playthrough, clearly explained, I look forward to seeing more of your stuff. Would you do a video on Worthington Games "One Hour World War 2" and "Gettysburg: A time for Heroes" ?Thank you for this one really clarified a few rules regarding this game.

Comancheria I also just got. Would love to see your play.

Great lineup ahead, Joe! I'm most excited that you'll be filiming reviews. You have a lot to offer gamers looking for insight on potential plays and buys. Even in your playthroughs you often throw out an observation or insight gleaned while playing that I often think is more insightful than a lot of other YT reviewers get to in their formal review videos. Being able to watch you play and see WHY you have the perceptions you do will really offer a great overall perspective of a game.

Hapsburg Eclipse brilliant game and may invest in Ottoman Sunset.

great games!

I am interested in hearing your thoughts on Banish All Their Fears. It seems some have complained about the rules. I think it has a lot to do with it being so different from Musket & Pike. Thanks for the look ahead.

Hi, I'd love to see something on "Front Towards Enemy" as not heard of this one before...

10:10 You should *definitely* use your advance points to increase stats. The game expects you to do that. That's what they are for.

I just received Comancheria as well and I am super keen to play this.

Fascinating, many thanks. I visited the battlefield with my school about 50 years ago! As for this system, I've always felt there wasn't much decision making required of the players - little room for skill, cunning, etc. Just press the start button and the battle unfolds. It all seems a bit rigid. But I've not tried it and I'm happy to be proved wrong. Looking forward to episode 2. Andrew

You're using the same force as the first battle, in the same week? I thought the rules stated you could only use a commander once per week?

Good job Joe

I've had Musket and Pike for a while now. I set up quite a few of the battles, looked at it with lustful eyes, and then retreated intimidated by the apparent complexity. Your playthrough was so lucid and well explained, though, that I feel able to get it down from the shelf and have another crack! Great vid, many thanks!

MUST RESIST ... I've never bought into this system as of yet ... ...

Good to see this actually being played with the new edition. I am trying to learn this at the moment. Looking forward to the next video! Many thanks!

Exellent, thank you. There are not enough Musket and pike playthroughs out there. Please carry on!

Well done, and thanks, I like this series, hav them all.

Is there something you have to do to determine initiative, like for the first battle? Maybe I missed that. Really enjoyed this BTW!

I can’t wait to get my copy. Looks great! Thanks for the overview!

I like the сounters from their previous releases much better. They fit the clipping perfectly, while the current ones, apparently cheaper to produce, are repulsive :(
