Quotes (from this video)
- I'm the last stop for double-checking all components " making sure that what we are claiming is in the box is what we're actually sending off to the printer

- The uh burn rate on paper if it's self-extinguishing
- you're paying someone to take one of your games and light it on fire
- What does the game need and so you're you know obviously in that position more willing to to add and add and add to the project and as a project coordinator I'm looking at how much can we pair down from what you got
- Oh I'm so bad at this I always want to add I want to pimp a game
- p500 is a pre-order process " no funding involved so you don't hand over money but it's just an indication to the company of your interest in a game
- We're not going to change the name at this point " and that that funding doesn't happen until just before the game comes back from the printer
- It's the anniversary edition and it's the what is it fourth reprinting of this Edition
- It's human error " what Jason and Justin and I are trying to do is come up with an actual system like a checklist of certain items that because our names are going on the box the three of us want to be sure that we have gone through this entire process
- I've got a checklist for all the steps that have to happen for each one of these and so I make sure as we're running through the uh the printing process that I'm checking all the boxes
- The whole box and I get one of those for every game and have a whole stack of them sitting right behind me
- I don't know I just geek out on the spreadsheets and the my Pivot tables and my charts and my I love that aspect of it
- Combat Commander I'm right back to the beginning
- between silk and Cyanide

Quotes (from this video)
- Access and Allies. So, uh, this is this game doesn't really need any introduction, but I've heard so many good things about it. I think it does meet a lot of the qualifications and criteria that we established as a war game and as an introductory war game for this list. Just haven't had time and made time to play it yet. I think it could have a very high spot on the list.
- David Thompson has been on the list a lot. He makes fantastically accessible war games. So, anything that he creates, I think is a candidate for this list.
- John Butterfield is a fantastic designer and this is a area control.
- John Butterfield designed some just amazing stuff.
- This is a game that might not fit into the classic war game category, but I've heard a number of war gamers say that it's definitely a war game with a lot of war game aspects and it fits probably in that subgenre of games, get the pun, where you are playing the role of a plane or a tank or a submarine or a ship and going over a campaign.
- War at Sea, if you're not familiar with it, it's an area based naval game that dates back to the 1970s, maybe 1980s.
- This is a game set in World War II where you take charge of female Russian pilots. This is based in actual history that run various aircraft missions over the German lines during World War II.
- Worthington does a great job with their production values with games.
- What games did I miss? What games on the list do you like and agree with?

Pros
- Attempts to create a narrative around combat.
Cons
- Some players hate it because they don't realize they're making multiple one-to-two attacks which would fail in a normal CRT.
Thematic elements
- The narrative is usually around movement and player placement, but the desired narrative is in the combat.
- Aims for the combat narrative to be the one found in books, focusing on the energy and effort of repeated assaults rather than a single die roll.
Comparison games

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Combat System — Designed to convey the narrative of combat, emphasizing the commitment required for a series of attacks rather than a single outcome.

Quotes (from this video)
- The X Encounter guys, you know, they had a big old statue. you know, burning it, you know, and Herman sucks and [clears throat] they hated it so bad and said, "This is the worst thing in wargaming ever."
- The people they hated it. They hated it. And they told me, but by the way, these are war gamers. They all told me they hated it [laughter] to my face.
- It's a labor of love, but a lot of lot of time spent.
- If you've never been to a historical board game conference before come. I mean it it it transforms the hobby and this type of conference because it's small and people are friendly and people are going to reach out and ga the work you do at SD Hiscon to make it a welcoming experience for everybody and the accessibility to get into games at tables and the way people can sign up for games beforehand the way you can schedule things the questions you can ask I I can't tell you you know how much that changes the hobby to be able to do that I went to the SD Hiscon in San Diego ago my first conference ever three years ago and it abs it just completely changes because you make friends that you're then going to play games with on in other places and then you know people at the online convention it it just exponentially makes the hobby better and there is no better conference I would say here and then circle DC is another one of my favorites but same type of experience look if you can't get to the SD His in in Minnesota or San Diego you know that's another one to look at but try to lean into one of these things because it will completely change your board gaming experience.
- And I I might be making this up, but I I think it's true that if I'm un the the only confirmed month without ever having any snowfall in Minnesota is July. So, I think we're safe.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Artillery support and bombardment — Artillery provides support bonuses in attacks; heavy artillery has potent effects and is a limited resource.
- Combat resolution with dice and terrain effects — Battle outcomes rely on attack/defense values, terrain bonuses (e.g., entrenchments), artillery support, and die rolls; heavy artillery can shift outcomes.
- Combat: Dice — Battle outcomes rely on attack/defense values, terrain bonuses (e.g., entrenchments), artillery support, and die rolls; heavy artillery can shift outcomes.
- Detachment and reinforcement management — Detachments can be recalled and redeployed; reinforcements may cross pontoon bridges; detachments can be restricted or vulnerable.
- Entrenchments and defensible terrain — Defenders gain advantages when occupying entrenchments or defensible terrain; can lead to eliminations under certain conditions.
- Hidden Victory Points — The Fredericksburg scenario requires capturing seven VP hexes, with a four-hex victory threshold for the Union; strategic river crossing and entrenchment assault are central.
- Movement system — Initiative-based movement with the ability to move a unit multiple times per turn within constraints; aims to emulate rapid, edge-to-edge maneuver.
- Off-map movement — Reinforcements can enter from map edges at designated spots; some entry points are restricted or blocked.
- Redeployment and command range — Headquarters can redeploy within a command radius, changing from broad maneuver to more constrained battle mode, affecting attack/defense capabilities.
- Victory conditions and scoring — The Fredericksburg scenario requires capturing seven VP hexes, with a four-hex victory threshold for the Union; strategic river crossing and entrenchment assault are central.
- Zone of Control / Zone of Influence — Zones of control extend into adjacent hexes; entering an enemy zone shifts formation to battle, impacting maneuver and combat decisions.
