At 9:33 you explained tagging incorrect. You rules ar you can only tag "any ADJACENT building FACE, regardless of [that unit's] facing". You were all placing tags on sides were you were not ADJACENT to. This rule makes sure you would have to keep working your way around a building, potentially coming from behind cover to get enough tags to demolish. This is also why the slots on the roof are postioned to align with the 6 sides of the hex it is on.
I probably should add that when you follow the map setup diagrams you will see that none of the building tops/roofs should be set at angles therefore not keeping tag slots properly lined up with the 6 hex walls.
Hi Randy! Thank you for this note! I went back through the rules and realized this is one of those subtle mentions that is definitely there but not explicitly stated. This rule makes A LOT more sense to ensure more movement and action throughout the game. Rest assured if/when (I want to play this many more times) we return to this game that this is a rule we will be following. I will gladly take a shot for this miss!
At about 1:03:00 you get "flank shot" I think it's not a flank shot. You follow the flank out straight, and that doesn't go to the heavy hitter. Also, at 1:06:00 it would be a miss because you do get partial cover, since one path has no building, and one path has a building, closest path that is.
Really want to point out, I think the video is a great introduction to the game. Doesn't matter if things weren't perfect, it was a good way to see the game played as more than 2 players, and I am excited to play it so thank you.
@ 39:24 when you rolled double 1s could you have not used your pilot ability you had that allowed you to reroll a 1 result die to possibly avoid the critical failure result?
man, hate to be that guy but it got really frustrating watching this 40 mins in and seeing the key gameplay (tagging) being played incorrectly and some bad calls almost going through... Need to at least play through the game once before filming
The first one I can recall is the time Rob rolled a Critical miss snake eyes on the support unit attack and you almost dismissed it cause you thought it only applied to Heavy Hitter. Overall just feels like you guys skimmed through the rules before playing and feels aggravating to watch. You guys are a great friendly group though but I really would recommend every player (if not at least TWO) involved be more prepared.

Will definitely change the amount of hiding in one place too long.
Thanks for the video though! It was fun watching you guys play.
Thanks Randy! We’ll probably play again soonish.

Thanks Travis! We will note these and take shots.

That means a lot to is Travis thank you. We don’t try to be perfect, just hopefully entertaining and to show you the game play. Rock On!
And that's exactly what it was, entertaining, and a good show of gameplay.
Well thank you. We’re planning on doing a 4 person play through soon with some modifiers. Look for that in the next month or so.

My pilot's ability was reroll 1s on a defense roll, not an attack unfortunately.
Ragazzi bel video iscrizione meritata bravi
Thanks! If Google translate was correct thank you!! Rock On! Hopefully that’s Italian.
Grazie! Se Google tradurre è stato corretto, grazie !! Rock On!
How come no Mercs? :o
To be fair, I dont believe the printed rulebook says about the tag facing clearly
We want to play again with 4 people anyway. Like our first Blood Rage we can have bad games. Then correct them to really fun exciting games.

Sorry about that, we are planning to play it again. What are the bad calls?

Agreed.
