Training Video of a FOG game between 2 experts?
Hi guys has anyone thought of producing a video recording of a training game between two good players which could be viewed on line. Both players explaing what they are doing as the game progresses. This would help numpties like me that have nobody with any experience of FOG nearby. Rule book arrived last week, looks good although makes heavy reading
It has been considered although I suspect that a battlefront style blow by blow AAR might be a better aid.
It is harder than you might think to get a professional looking video of a wargame in progress.
If I had some nice mathced pairs of armies I might even do one myself but while I have about 30 15mm ancients armies I don't actually have many pairs. I suspect that once Swords and Scimitars is out I can do a Crusader and Arab pair which might well make a good introductory game.

So make one up! If all you're doing is playing right hand against left hand to demonstrate the rules and introduce concepts, who cares if the armies are from official lists?hammy wrote:It has been considered although I suspect that a battlefront style blow by blow AAR might be a better aid.

Just throw together a couple of colorful and halfway credible armies and go for it
