New Arrivals - Banish All Their Fears & Tanto Monta (GMT Games)

A couple of highly anticipated unboxings

[frederictaton]

Tanto Monta: actually, as shown on your video, there are 6 countersheets... :-) And regarding the decks, on GTM website, they annnounce 131 cards for TM versus 116 for Here I Stand and 112+22 for Virgin Queen. And I'm also really eager to receive it (just ordered today) and give it a try, after having played HIS and VQ several times over the past 8 years or so.

Great look Justin, thanks. I like the fact that you’re just not mindlessly unboxing (as too many others do), but instead you’re providing knowledgeable and insightful commentary along the way. Good job.

I saw both Banish games setup, very dense troop formations as you note. I hope some smaller battles appear in the future.

Two highly-anticipated GMT titles that both look great. I’m also awaiting Norman Conquests, though the Men of Iron series may not be your thing.

Just to follow-up Justin, the amount of accumulated little errata items all over the place for Banish All Their Fears is rather disappointing. And Tanto Monta is incredibly dense, I get the impression that it is a kitchen-sink design.

I actually don’t regret either purchase, but have to admit that the wind has been taken out of the sails for these two particular games. Such is life, and this hobby!

Thanks for your unboxing, I'm not really interested in either game - but this may change depending on my playthrough of Musket & Pike Dual Pack for the former and your materials for the latter 😆

Both games look great. I backed out of both at the last minute. I would love to see some playthrough of Banish all their Fears - the setup looked super dense, it would be good to see how it plays. Those counters are fantastic.

good detailed info man.... well done for sure... thanks for sharing...

Waiting for Tanto Monta to arrive.

I belief the counters are the same as the c3i ones, Perhaps they caught another misprint in the interim.

I was honestly expecting venting about AMFS would be the next video.
