Triumph and Tragedy Extended Example of Play (1 of 2)

Part 1 of 2 of Extended Example of Play video of Triumph and Tragedy, a game published by GMT Games in 2015.

CORRECTION: At 30:46, I talk about the consequences of Norway becoming an Axis Protectorate and mistakenly stated that if an opposing faction attacks Norway, Norway's forces will be represented by Neutral Fortress Units. Actually, when a Protectorate is attacked (in game terms, Violated) by a Rival Faction, it immediately converts to a Satellite of the Protecting Faction and a unit (of any type) of the Protecting Faction Great Power is deployed in its defense rather than a Neutral Fortress. Thanks to game's designer, Craig Besinque, for the heads up!

WARNING: Wargaming videos such as this one, are related to board games that simulate war, with all the destruction, ravages and death associated to such human conflicts. At times, the games and videos will include references to nefarious historical figures, such as, for example: Attila the Hun, Shaka Zulu, Adolf Hitler and Mao Zedong. Viewer discretion is advised.

Playing tonight for the first time. Have watched both of the play through videos twice. Much appreciate your time, effort and professionalism you bring to these videos, allowing me understanding of the game...Cheers.

You do the absolute best commentary runthroughs of wargames. Thank you for your time and efforts!

[jimmetcalf]

Thanks for publishing this. Your attention to detail and smooth delivery give the entire video a professional level of quality.

What a helpful playthrough. Very fluent, organised and clear. Thank you. This makes the game so much easier to access.

Excellent example of play, I've watched it a couple of times. Really points out things I was still missing from reading the playbook. Thank you so much! I will be watching others you have created.

POP and RES should be added as soon as you have 1 influence in a neutral country (Associate level). For example at 31:43 when Axis influence in Austria goes from 1 to 3, no POP should be added, because it should already be accounted for (when influence went from 0 to 1).

Outstanding video. Clear, concise. Just what I need, to decide whether to purchase this game and then how to get started. Thank you!

[GamesfromtheFront]

I need this so badly as I am going into the game cold soon. Thanks!

[theophilemonnier]

Congrats and thank you for the absolute great job you do on those videos. Your visual approach and precision are priceless. Thank from all the community (and in my case, from Marseille, France)

These videos are getting costly...
Another great video selling me a game.

[EurojuegosBsAs]

Top quality, as usual. Thank you Joe :)

There is some strange audio phasing between the channels in the beginning, this might turn off people - otherwise great production values, especially the narration.

This was the best game tutorial for this game I am thinking on getting for Christmas, you gain subscriber + like :D

[varovaro]

This was excellent! Thank you. Just subscribed. I didn't understand it before.

[Javaslinger]

Still super useful! Playing my first game tomorrow!!!

I can't pretend to be a fan of block games, however there are exceptions, and from what I have seen of this excellent video, this game could be included. A lot of thought has gone into this game, and as a consequence the game demands concentrated thought on behalf of the player/s. Have always been interested in the economic side of WW2. The tanks, planes and ships one sees didn't grow on trees; they had to be produced. That required a broad industrial base (not to mention research and development). The home front was just as vital as the battlefield, indeed probably more so.

[williamlyons]

Wonderful production! Can I please ask you to do more play examples of T&T. thanks

[AndresGarcia-nwxh]

Muchas gracias. Me has ayudado mucho. Muy buen juego.

[fjrandy]

Felicidades por los videos, son inmejorables, tanto por la calidad del video, como el audio y las explicaciones. Sería un posible un video sobre T&T pero de partes de reglas más específicas como la vuelta a base, bloqueos, líneas de suministros, etc?
Un saludo

This is so perfect and helped me so so much. Will you be doing a similar one for Conquest & Consequence?
