sure there are dice and sure you can roll them badly believe me i've rolled my fair share of ones when charging but guess what that doesn't mean my unit is just gonna stand there like a bunch of idiots and not charge they still get the charge they just lose the benefit that they would otherwise have had if they rolled a one which is actually really annoying to ensure that you don't immediately add to your backlog of shame by buying models for this game let's cool off with an ad from this video's sponsor squarespace mini painting is a confusing hobby to a lot of my relatives and with an online gallery like the one that i made on squarespace's platform i'm able to easily show my aunt gladys what it is i do exactly with these plastic toy soldiers personally i'm all about finding the biggest bang for the littlest buck in the case of making videos it's how i make the highest quality product with the lowest time invested squarespace gets you the highest quality website with lowest time investment leveraging their awesome templates maybe you don't need an online gallery but prefer to write your battle reports on a slick website maybe those bat reps are restricted to paying audience members which you can implement with squarespace's members area whatever your idea head to squarespace dot com slash media to save NUMBER_TOKEN off of your first purchase of a website or domain using the code maniac alright let's get back to the video with number three the third thing that captured my attention was the movement trays empty bottles of red and white laying on the floor from last night we got a little drunk on a more serious note rank and flank miniature war games imply something about how the game operates it means your units can't see everything and just gravitate toward the closest enemy it places way more emphasis on the movement and deployment in the game there are so many other factors to consider other than just how close am i to the enemy or am i in cover you might place a tray of units further forward that can take a beating so that if they get charged the enemy that charged them exposes their flank you might position a unit on an angle who has a good fleeing mechanic so that when an enemy engages them and you leave you're exposing an enemy's flank you might position your units in a line to prevent faster enemies from hitting your flank there's a lot of flying strategies going on here are you following me fourthly the game introduces a wonderful new idea called a tactics board this element of the game represents your more political allies and how they affect the larger scope of the war outside of your individual battle your army is made up of combat units attachments or just heroes a single commander and non-combat units or ncus an acronym that is a lot easier to say than asoyaf god damn it these units can be placed on a tactics board during your turn to get extra stuff like allowing you to attack again or move again among other benefits you will often have to think about what your opponent might want to do and block that now you may ask but scott how can i block my opponent's board when he goes before me well young gamer padawan this game has a little feature called alternating activations a fresh new gaming feature that also exists in debatably the world's greatest board game chess you know that game that's
