TDG: Churchill
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- Do you ever get in arguments with your friends over strategic materials, where to launch your next offensive, or political and military control over small countries? Winston Churchill, Joseph Stalin, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt did, and yet they always managed to remain friends and share secrets like schoolgirls. Now, you can recreate their historic hi jinks with this new game of negotiation, cooperation, and competition. I just hope Stalin and FDR don't feel bad that their names aren't on the box.

I enjoyed this review very much. Congratulations on the accent, the enthusiasm, the review and the inspiration.
Thank you, sir!
Clear and helpful, as usual. Thank you. A game that deserves to be better known.
Thank you!
My wife and I really enjoyed this one immensely. Thanks for the chance to play this one with you, good sir! We would really like to do this one again very soon.
+Kevin Cottam Agreed!
Thank you very much for thiis wonderful review, old chap! I enjoyed your historian's point of view and hope to hear more historically oriented reviews from you. Loved the reference to old Flashy as well.
+Stephen Loniewski Thank you, sir. Always good to hear from someone who appreciates Flashman!
Fabulous review as always old chap...will be taking this for a spin in a couple of weeks at our meetup here in sunny Montreal.
+Curtis Chapman Thanks! I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
I can't believe I missed this video when you posted it! Great review and a GREAT game! My buddy has this game and I figured if he had it I don't need it, right? Well after playing it once, I had to get this for my own collection. Mission accomplished.There are so many things going on in this game that one must keep an eye on. I love the whole debating and advancing agendas. Sometimes you find yourself debating on an issue you really don't care that much for, but know the next player wants to debate so you can freeze them out. My first game I ran way out in front and was thinking "man this is easy". I totally forgot about the point spread. Luckily, Japan didn't surrender!I think if you read the rules and the designer's notes, you can wrap your head around these rules and why they work the way they do. I would also recommend the C3I magazine #28. Trying the solo version soon and how the 'bots work.Definitely not the heaviest game you will play and I think after 1-2 plays you will be off and running.I will play this game anytime, anywhere with almost anyone!
+Dean Liggett Agreed! Great game! Let me know how the solo game plays out.
Double Rainbow.....Churchill and a Harry Flashman reference! I going to go take a bubble bath now!
+Dean Liggett Love that Flashy!
Thanks for the books recommendations at the end.
You are most welcome!
Thanks for showing this game. It looks like a game I would love to play but i doubt any my friends would play it.
+arakuss1 Time to make new friends?
Sounds like a fantastic game!
+Saerise It is!
Great work, Cody, and as a military history buff I appreciate the recommendations at the end of the video. Any plans to do a vid on Richard Borg's latest C&C game, The Great War?
+Richard Yasi I'd like to play and review The Great War at some point. We'll see. Thanks!
Nice work.
Thanks!
This looks pretty good. I'm going to check it out.
I think you'll get a kick out of it.
Just bought this game in the order I made with Legendary Encounters: Predator. Can't wait to play both of them! :-D
+KabukiKid Both great games. I'm sure you'll enjoy them both!
Great review as always Cody. I recently purchased Versailles 1919 and black orchestra based on your reviews and just patiently waiting for it in the mail but after watching this I am not sure if maybe I should have bought Churchill over Versailles,lol. Between Versailles and Churchill what game do you think has the bigger learning curve? Thanks
Churchill has the bigger learning curve. I really enjoyed Churchill but it is no longer in my collection because I had a hard time getting it to the table. Of the two, I prefer V1919.
@@TheDiscriminatingGamer Thanks Cody, looks like I made the right choice. I can't wait to play both V1919 and B orchestra as both appear to be tremendous fun. I have seen some stuff on you tube saying BO has some issues with ambiguity of rules but I am hopeful I can figure it out and get past it.
Nice video, well made!
+Peter Quant Danke!
Is this the second appearance of British Cody? I think Fish and Chips would make a great accessory for him.
+Matt K Agreed!
but forgot that British don't have the "sh" sound in the word "issue"
Nice idea of a semi-coop game, but too much dice rolling for my taste.
Too bad. It's really fun. Hope you can try it some day.
I really love that you can't have too much victory points and that you have to balance with your fellow players.
But doesn't the part with the staff cards feel a bit like rock-paper-scissors? I get some have conditional bonuses but it won't help if your opponent also chooses a strong card (without knowing I was going to play a strong card).
It's not a bad thing if such a mechanism is a minor part of the game (I believe the (promo) expansion for Twilight Struggle (Turn Zero) uses a similar mechanism to create a variable setup in the beginning in the game) ... but in this game the phases at the conference table are the most important part of the game.
And won't the experienced player who know the cards by heart have a big adventage? Because you know which staff cards are coming.
As for the experienced player knowing the cards by heart, I think thats true of just about any game- experience = advantage. In RPS, players are trying to win every round, while here, players may care more or less about certain issues. Deciding when to play what cards here is key. As you say, the balance in this game is what is truly interesting.
Kudos on the accent dude, if I didn’t know better I’d have been convinced!
Accemt?
Haha, GMT's complexity ratings...
Indeed.
Game type? 'Tis a political game.
Indeed.
I P500'd this and have heard the rules are atrocious - was this what u found?
+Tim G The rules can be a bit fiddly, but I don't think they are atrocious. It's a very unique game, and I think that might turn some people off. I loved it.
Wonderful - thanks for the reply I will dig into them soon....I was hoping for a 3-player and I love the theme - I hope it holds up...
+Tim G They are fairly easy if you are used to GMT and/or wargame rules in general. If not it is certainly a step up from what you are used to. But don't worry, read the first 7 (?) pages (untill the "Stop"), set the game up for a solo play (without the bots) and start playing a round or two, then continue to read. For me that is usually the way to go and it makes these games much easier to understand.
And don't worry if you have to look things up during gameplay, thats perfectly normal with those games. Enjoy !
counters like that, yep, that's a wargame. I threw my wargames away, because there was nobody even remotely interested, no urge to get this anew. Consider yourself lucky if you know wargamers ;-)
Kosteri x no chance of playing them multiplayer solitaire then....
What’s the best WW2 war game to play?
I only know a few, and nobody lives around the corner. Really hard to organize live games. I mostly play via vassal, which is often fiddly.
You have an accent????
Yeah. I caught it in Texas and I can't shake it.
@@TheDiscriminatingGamer wow that's pretty cool! Welcome to texas
@@notavailable6460 I'm gone now... Unfortunately.
Stalin led USSR struggle for peace. What a joke. Good review though.
It's what I do. Danke.
So you can't win this game? If you get too many points, surprise, you lose.
.... typifies the western euro mentality, doesn't it?
It's a very unique balancing act, to be sure...
