Congratulations on the video, you did a great job of giving a detailed and accurate overview of the game, in spite of its complexity, in such a short amount of time! And thanks for the appreciation of course. A very minor rule mistake was noticed by one of the designers: in sieges, you do not need to reduce two Elites to continue to attack, just one.

[Zilong]

Really surprised this didn't earn a GM game. I know you have some memorable moments in it. It isn't highly accessible but it is a masterpiece.

Wow, this one was a beast and I ended up having to snip a little out here and there to get it under time. Game is second edition, but I used my first edition models. This one was picked by Fraser, who is the person I have played WOTR against 20 times.

Who do you have long standing game rivalries with?

[CapriciousMissK]

I'm no longer part of this rivalry because I moved away, but for years I was part of a group that would regularly play the old Mayfair crayon train games - Empire Builder, Eurorails, British Rails, etc. We had a large number of people in our gaming circle and would usually play other things, and some people didn't like the rail games, but whenever we got a group of just the rail players that's what we'd play.

Great video as always. I can see the amount of time taken to write, film and edit these.

[francesconepitello]

Fantastic job! Hard to squeeze all that in 3 mins! Small errata: to continue a siege you just downgrade 1 Elite to regular (not 2).

[toddparker]

Great vid, great channel. I Would love to see a 3min vid on Hunt For The Ring. Fingers crossed

[bartekrdzanek]

Great review as always
Is "it glitters because it's gold" a reference to "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost" poem?

[GeneraluStelaru]

2:46 You only downgrade one elite to continue a siege. No need to double down. :)

Been invited to play this next weekend.

Great video XD keep it up! I am learning how to do good "how to play" videos on my channel - but this is masterfully presented!

[JB-ymup]

It's a easy comparison to star wars rebellion, there are many similarities between them, and both are excellent.

[lukecarroll]

Not red vs blue minis? Did you you paint yours? Where did you get those.

[Table.Fables]

How do you feel about the expansions? Would you say they are worth including? Incredible video by the way- so concise for such a big game!!

[eddydelrio]

BEWARE: the miniatures are NOT pre-painted.

[rostyslav]

planning to buy this game. Is it worth for 4 players. Will we be able to finish it in 3 hours or is ot for the whole f day?

[trevorcrain]

Bought a ding and dent copy but haven’t convinced the wife to play!

[lazarekoguashvilli]

I LOVE your videos they are simple ans really cool. Which would you recommend dor starter gamer star wars rebelion or war of the ring

[Lugo]

This works best with 2 players. In a 4 player game, yes you have 2 people on the each side but only one wins in the end. I adore this game, but with 4 players it's dumb.

[jakestanley]

Did you buy the game with the troop pieces looking like that?!?! Those look amazing, if you did buy it like that where can I get it?!
