What questions do you have about the game?

[oriolebird]

This was fantastic. I can see why this video took awhile to complete because you guys did a wonderful job making everything in the game easy to grasp and understand. This is a high quality how to play video that will help people for a long time. Thanks again! Looking forward to any future content, especially anything Axis and Allies related.

[Truewooper]

I won't lie. I'm a little surprised you guys didn't go back to doing high level tournament games of different board games. That was fire. I'm about to watch the Axis and Allies one again it was so good.

[Macfierce]

been looking forward to this video. I'm going to have to watch the whole thing between now and January when my A&A buddy and I try this one out for the first time. Thanks so much for doing this! I will watch the whole thing. But later.

[MattEggers-eosi]

Thanks for all the work you put into your videos. Like others, I am greatly looking forward to future Gen Con Tournament play-by-play videos as the last round was extremely entertaining.

[edwardskerness]

Popcorn and a seltzer for this one! Just used your Guadalcanal on Saturday. Great stuff! Keep em coming.

[Tabletops_NerdSection]

Very professional video! Definitely helpful to learn the game!

[surebuddysure]

NO WAY IS TWO HOURS…

I dont care im watching all of it ❤😮‍💨

[glycerine]

I played my first game yesterday, finally! So glad I watched this video before playing! Thank you so much!

[Hunter-xy]

Love your videos been playing with my grandpa for a while and have learned a lot from all of your videos

[roselandacademyshorts]

I've ordered this game for Christmas, i'd love to see some North Africa strategy videos from BGN! Would you consider doing some videos on the Global games at some point as well?

[robertmoffitt]

This is a fantastic video for learning the game. Hat's off to Gary for creating such a super vid! Awesome video! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[mdt]

This is another great video Gary! 2 hrs long, but great! I received North Africa for Christmas, and have now read the rulebook and watched all 2 hrs - ready for a 1st game!

[leebearfield]

Nice work! This is an amazing piece of work and crucially informative and useful. How you had the patience to glean all of this from the rulebook is beyond me. No offence to Matt Hyra but it's a LOT of info.

[nedfonseca]

Thanks again. Excellent material!! You are awesome.

[jasonaustin]

Loved the video, i almost lost it when you said fighters defend at 5, but then i remembered we're using ten sided dice, not six sided 😂

[bayemit]

Looking forward to the GenCon game video!

[daleorth]

I really like the idea of supplies. And needing them to fight on both sides! That’d be pretty cool to try to implement on the main line games! I really wasn’t sure what to expect in this game. Im very impressed. This looks very fun. I’m definitely going to get this!

[grebfleb]

Excellent video. Thank you for your time and effort putting this together!

[MountainLynx]

Thank you very much for the new Video. I Love your content and am exited❤❤🎉🎉
