Broken Logic - A Long Road Expansion (Flying Pig Games): Gameplay Part 1

Hexed And Countered

If you like what I do, subscribe and click the "bell" icon!

Playing one scenario of Tide of Iron: Next Wave. This is scenario #10: "Chain of Command". 

Cherbourg fell three weeks after the invasion of Normandy, but the destruction of the port meant that the Allies would have to find other ways to receive their much-needed supplies.

Clarification on 5 rules that can be easy to miss (and that I sometimes forget)
- You cannot fire at long range when doing a "fire and movement"-action. Firing at long range is only possible with a "concentrated fire"-action.
- Medics will provide a +1 cover for every squad that is in the hex of the medic, not just the squad with the medic specialization.
- You can only try to "Establish contact" once every game round.
- If LOS is traced through an adjacent hex hill of the same elevation, LOS is blocked (Plateau rule)
- A unit moving in to a hex can only be attacked by opportunity fire once. If there are several enemy units within LOS set to OP, the commander of those units have 2 options. 1: Decide one unit with OP to lead the attack, then use the other units with LOS and OP as support in  "Combined fire", or 2: Fire with 1 unit in OP,  then fire with the next if the unit moves 1 more hex and so on. Again, only one OP attack may be done for every hex the target moves (within LOS).

Unboxing | La Der Des Ders | Hexasim | The Players' Aid

The Players Aid

In this video, we’re cracking open the box of Infernal Machine: Dawn of Submarine Warfare. This isn't your typical wargame; it’s a tense, procedural simulation of the early, dangerous days of submarine technology during the American Civil War. We're talking hand-cranked "fishboats," iron hulls, and the constant threat of the Atlantic becoming your tomb.

This solo game (with a two-player option) was designed by Ed Ostermeyer & Jeremy White and published by GMT Games.

Thanks for watching!
