The contents in the box we show in the video are still subject to change.
Thank you for watching. =)
1:33 I thought the cat was the random. Event!!!
Cabby is always a random event. Lol
I really should get into area movement games more.
I find them not only fun, but slightly less complex from a movement and terrain point of view, generally speaking.
Really nice job with this! I think this is the best playthrough on your channel so far. Really clear and smooth, definitely a game I’ve added to my wanted list. :)
Thank you sir, I really tried to up my level. It is a fun game I am sure you will enjoy it.
Ooo an early review copy, sweet.
Hi WARdROBE, thanks for watching. I meet the guys from revolution games at SDHistCon and they gave me their playtest copy.
A nice overview. I'm looking forward to the game.
Hi Michael, thank you for watching. I am also looking forward to it, and very curious what other games in the series might be.
And, thank you for the sub. =)
Ordered this game thanks to your excellent video.
Hi Billy, thank you for watching. I had a lot of fun playing. I expect you will as well. =}
@@HissyCat thanks and I look forward to other games that may follow in this series.
@@billydelashmutt5000 so do I, I believe there are a few already planned.
This reminds me an awful lot of Avalon Hill's old game "Turning Point: Stalingrad"; almost as-if it were redone as a solo game. Very interesting... Thanks for sharing.
Hi GG, thank you for watching. I haven't played Turning Point: Stalingrad, maybe I should try and find a copy and play it. =)
@@HissyCat I have TP:S and it's very interactive and emphasizes timing, it's at lower scale -mostly battalions as units and day turns divided in day and night impulses. Consequently, it's practical to play mostly the first week, the whole city battle would take a lot (and playing for October needs some expansion counters).
@@mirceapauca8541 that actually sounds fun to me. Thanks for the insight. =}
A really nice looking game. Counters look good sitting on a nice map.
Hi Charles, it is a beautiful game.
Thanks for the playthrough. I just got my copy on the table and looking forward to trying it out.
Hi Alistair, thank you for watching. I enjoyed playing it a lot.
Looks awesome! Great play thru. Mine shipped on Thursday can't wait to receive it!
You will enjoy it, I have had a blast playing it. =)
Nice play through Hissy Cat.
Hi Cole, thank you for watching. have you played?
If you’ve played other Area Stalingrad games, how would you compare this to them?
Sadly, this is my first.
As far as I know they are two player games (Turning Point Stalingrad, Stalingrad Verdun on the Volta, the MMP Stalingrad game, etc.).
After watching this, I went and ordered it. Looks like a nice smaller game.
Hi Johnny, let me know how you like it. =)
8:00. 10-6=6, I think it should have been a defense of 4.
Yea, I messed that one up. Math is hard… lol
Thanks for watching Johnny. =}
Looks good. Just placed an order on their website. 😊
Hi Bayonet, Thank you for watching, you will enjoy the game. I actually ordered my copy today as well. =)
Great looking game, similar but no less enjoyable than Stalingrad Verdun on the Volga. If anyone is interested in an incredible background to this battle look up TIK Battle storm stalingrad. Brilliant series! Very detailed
Hi Luke, thanks for watching. That sounds interesting, I will go check it out. Thanks for sharing. =}
I like the map
I do as well. It totally works for an area movement game.
A nice play through! I ordered this game a couple of weeks ago; anything Stalingrad gets my attention! A game I do have that has many of the same mechanics but is perhaps more streamlined and elegant is Last Stand Games: Stalingrad: Verdun on the Volga. Not the easiest game to get your hands on and rather expensive at that, but for what what it's worth -- like Stuka Joe -- I highly recommend it! Very solo-able, too!
Hi Copyist7, thank you for watching and the subscribing to the channel. It’s a fun game, easy to learn. I’ll have to hunt down a copy of Stalingrad: Verdun on the Volga. Sounds like a game o would enjoy. Thanks for the suggestion.
Yeah, Hissy Cat Studio, all you wargame reviewer/play-throughers are great (and have cost me a lot of money -- totally worth it!) so keep up the good work! As a final suggestion, you might check out Stuka Joe's play-through of Stalingrad: Verdun on the Volga (see: ruclips.net/video/CKgJWiUFJjU/видео.html ). As he shows, the appointed main unit on each side loses a step when engaged in a battle no matter the outcome (which I think also happened once in your playthrough of 'AdvanceOTV' via a card draw.) To me, this mechanic really represents the attritional aspect of the battle really well. Not having received my copy of the Revolution game yet, but battles in 'AdvanceOTV' seem pretty categoric; whereas, 'VerdunOTV' seems much more of a grind, as it most certainly was in real life! Still, will reserve my judgement until I get and play the other game. All good!
@@Copyist7 I will go watch the Stuka Joe video now. Thanks for sharing. =)
@@HissyCat A final caveat, then I'll leave you in peace (besides, Vuco Simulations Task Force game just arrived and I'm sitting here drooling! Golly, they put out intriguing, wonderful looking products, eh!) Unless you can find a cheap second hand copy (Noble Knight has it for a staggering $195USD!!!!), perhaps the two area-impulse games might be too similar to worry about??? Anyway, check out Stuka Joe -- he does such a brilliant, entertaining job! -- and decide for yourself! All the best!😁
@@Copyist7 I don't mind your comments. =) Ouch $195 is a bit rich for my blood currently, but can you ever have too may Stalingrad games... i think not...lol I have Vuca's Bismarck game... BEAUTIFUL.
Components arrived in port in California this week. Assuming everything was printed correctly game assembly and shipping should begin in the next week or two.
Hi Michael, that is great news! Congratulations 🎉
@@HissyCat Copies now shipping. And selling like hotcakes!
@@michaelrinella6384 Congrats! It's a very fun game. =)
@@michaelrinella6384
I'm one of the hotcakes! 🙂
@@robertmoffitt1336 Game's on the griddle!
great game
Hi Wayne, thank you for watching
Logistical pause doesn't apply on turn 1 (10.1). Yeah, I missed it too the first time...
Doah!!!
Tempting…but it’s not on my goals for the year.
I’m sure you have a spare hour in your schedule somewhere… lol😜
The Russians d20 in the beginning would have been reduced to 4...not 6.
Hi James, thanks for watching. I think I remember that, I had at least one time I screwed up the math. Doah!!!
FYI everyone GMT is sending out billing notices(just got mine), finally, for The Russian Campaign.😀😀
1st turn you have special rules about which events can happen. Guess he didn't read the rules. So can't watch this any further.
Hi, thanks for watching as much as you did. I do make mistakes sometimes, good thing it’s only a game. =}
@@HissyCat Arabulbulian should launch his own channel or at least try to record one of his own sessions, and he will see how hard it is to exclude minor errors. He has made similair comments to this on other playthrough videos for the same game. See the player aid" video etc.. :P
What some people do not get is that there is a big difference between a "Playthrough" video and a "Learn to play" video. Playthrough videos are great for when you just want to watch someone play, or you want to get a general idea of how the game flows.
It's normal to make some misstakes when you play, everyone does it. The only difference is that we got hundreds of thousands of people watching over our shoulder :P
and to arab: it's ok to point out misstakes (I encourage it, so other people don't copy those misstakes that I make in my videos), but one can do it in a more polite manner. Cheers
Hi my friend, thank you for the comment and your support, it is very much appreciated. Your point about play throughs and learn to play is spot on, but alas we both know this is the case and yet we and others still enter the pool with no lifeguards… lol 😂
P.s. I make some really big errors at times. =}
