Unboxing the DVG Warfighter Tactical Card Game

[Bison]

/sigh/  I'm going to go do some sympathy eating now.  Thanks for helping to contribute to my weight gain problem, jerk.

I brought a tripod light and camera tripod home from work so I'll try to have some more videos done this weekend. I've already recorded all of the expansions unboxing, I just need time to put them into Premiere Pro, edit them down, render them, and upload them. It takes a long time to upload crap to YouTube. That 20 minute base game video took nearly 3 hours to get on the channel.

Just keep your damned pants on in the next one.

can we fire the golf announcer doing the voiceovers and get someone more dynamic? 

[BanzaiCat]

You want me to bring in the nerd, the creepy preacher, and the old man to help narrate?

THX for the video   ....keep them coming! 
and i hope there will be one Let'sPlay sample mission play-through too.

-btw-
i got a Warfighter series question (i assume here you have from Modern and WW II both the whole shebang)

i came to the observation that in Modern you seem to have summed up a bigger selection of different weapons, kits, toys, skills, ...lets call them 'treats'  to pick from to kit-out an individual soldier for a mission and so try different approaches to solve the problem.

In Modern i count 27 items, 30 skills/attributes, and 43 (USA)weapons you can give to an (USA)soldier
(i didn't made the clac for Brits and Russian, ...IIRC its just an exchange of nation specific weapons)
How are the numbers for W II?

and how compare the numbers of available mission and objective cards and the number of location cards you might draw on your way to the objective in both versions.

Well, WW II came up with new additional rules about LOS, spread MG fire, close combat and hardship-points to compensate for history-based lesser equipment and toys

Good questions, Mike.

I'll have to revisit the modern version of the game - as I said in the vid, it's been a while since I've played it - and learn the WWII version as well. Comparing the content will be excellent. Dan had sent me a footlocker for the modern version of the game, too, with what seems to have been all of the expansion packs, so that's another unboxing I could do (no idea how many have already been done, but why would that stop me?)

Since I brought the equipment home for the weekend, if I have time I'll shoot a couple more unboxing vids...I have a few VPG games in mind as well as some other ones including Tokyo Express and Carrier - since they're unpunched.

I'm finding the videos much easier to do than actually writing up a review and taking a bunch of still pictures. Editing and rendering a video is a time sink, but the computer does most of the work and it's just a matter of waiting for it to process everything.

Where do you buy the WW2 version of the game?

Where do you buy the WW2 version of the game?

At their website (not sure if there's other outlets). Scroll down about halfway and you'll see the WWII Core Game listed:

I might be stepping outside my comfort zone of PC games by buying this....some reason, catching my interest.

I have looked at some videos and read some articles on it, but having a hard time really knowing if the game is for me.  I would only be playing solo.....anybody have hands on thoughts with this version or maybe even the original to share?

[BanzaiCat]

GR, the original is quite fun. It had issues with rules organization but nothing hard to figure out (imo anyway). I really liked the dynamics of a changing battlefield, squad management, surprises, and other things about it. I'm not a huge fan of us-vs.-insurgents, but it is still fun to play.

This WW2 version looks fantastic. It looks like they've improved on the original well. If you prefer WW2 to modern combat, you might like this more.

Sorry I can't give you more depth, though I intend to do that in a full review.

[Grim.Reaper]

Thanks...really tempted

GR, if you happen to have Tabletop Simulator in you Steam library collection
there is a free user made module of Warfighter Modern (the whole shebang!) so you can playtest a little in that virtual environment. the rules (pdf file ) can be found on the DVG webside   

and here is a good thread were the difference or different feeling to play Modern or WW II is discussed

Peronally i wait for the first real big missions of the fresh WW II release been played through in Let's video series on YT to make up my mind.   
 

@demjansk1942
depends on where your realm is located on this globe
if you are in America i second  Barthheart's recommendation of NWS Games
+1

if you are in Europe (some EU state) you might want take a look at UGG's Store too

http://ugg2nd.de/en/Retail/Warfighter-WWII-Core-Game.html?listtype=search&searchparam=Warfighter

usually shipping cost (+tax and custom) killing even a very good offer from stateside when you order a 'large' physical item from across the pond, Sigh

[Grim.Reaper]

Thanks for the additional information....boy, really on the fence.....would really like to try something different than PC game
