ISS Vanguard | Tutorial | Solo Playthrough 

Great Video ! I completed the tutorial but I wanted to confirm that I did not make too many mistakes. So far, it's ok !

The best tutorial playthrough and explanation I've seen yet. Made me realize I missed adding Event cards to my turns after replacing M01. 🤦‍♂️

I just came across your channel and watched the first few minutes of this video. Instant like and subscribe. I plan to watch in in it's entirety later. But first I am going to watch your organizing video. Your videos are a great help to a new player to this game. Cheers from Winnipeg

This is excellent on so many levels. AR should have asked you to do their teaching video. Subscribed and liked. Looking forward to your Underwater Cities video.

This is the best tutorial I've ever seen (considering any game)

I like this sort of hard-ish sci-fi. "We only have three weeks to get out of the way!" It really sells how big space is, compared to something like Star Trek where they behave more like old fighter planes getting into a dogfight.

The best tutorial ever! Correction (I think) 1:46:22 “but he has not spent dice”: you do not use spent dice for a dice check because you use available dice and roll them

Excellent video!

Thanks for the video! Helped me better understand the rules. I'm ready to start the campaign!

Thanks this helped me loads!

This is an amazing video tutorial. Haven't got my copy yet, but hope it'll be delivered soon.

Thank you for the video! I will edit this as I go along the video: I am sad you did not go back with Amir to the first space to do that special event for the success token. 1:00:50 - Well done for remembering to roll the danger die! You did not the first time. But to clarify, when you reroll a die using a card, that does not permit or require you to also reroll the danger die, except if the card specifically says to reroll the danger die. Of course, here it worked out since you hadn't actually rolled it yet. 1:01:28 - Amir has already done two actions! He rested first, then did the special action. So here you gave him a third action for his turn. 1:10:27 - As a just-in-case for you and other viewers to know, I believe there was more text to read if you scroll down. From what I have seen from other playthrough videos, the app does not make it easy to see if you are supposed to scroll down to read more text, so I recommend always doing a quick swipe to check. 1:49:27 - The dice check has the blue and green die being spent first for the accident path, before you can spend them on the success path, so you would be forced to spend a blue/green pair on the accident path, before you can resolve any successes. 1:53:43 - When a player is forced to spend a die and cannot, they then are forced to sacrifice a die, which means to entirely remove that die from their dicepool to their section compartment until the end of the mission. This means that Cho would only have four dice in her pool for the rest of the mission. I will say as a help, that if you are ever forced to sacrifice a die because you had no die to spend, it is almost always best to do the exhaust action first (where you sacrifice a die to refresh 5 dice), and then spend one of the die you just refreshed. You still sacrifice only one die, but you get a free refresh of your dice along the way. Overall, well done! You have done some of the best and simplest editing I have ever seen to highlight key information in a clean and effective manner, and it looks like you used your phone to do all the close up videos! What a simple and beautiful method. Good luck with your future campaigns with your mother, don't worry too much about mistakes, and have fun! Maybe read the rulebook after every few missions to see what you got right and what you got wrong, and use that to adjust your play until you find when you read it, that you did it all. Good luck!

Wow!! I've never seen anyone else with a planet globe before. I have 3 of them in my computer room.

1:39:21 Maybe they wrote “awaken” as a hint to Awaken Realms

I think Amir took 3 actions in the second round (rest/special/rest). Great video though. Very helpful - just got the whole shebang in the 2nd wave and I’m hoping to start soon!

Just working through the tutorial and checking as my understanding would be to roll the Danger die also @1:20:00 ish. To me looks like you roll the danger die to move from 4 to 3 but the card on 3 seems to be telling us to roll the danger die again to perform the special action also?

1:49:40 you should have used first a green + blue to advance the red track. That leaves you with one blue less

Hi there. I'm about 16 minutes into your video and I've noticed that you did not play Log 1 starting the mission. You did log into the app and started the turorial/campaign, but I think you mistook Log 0 for Log 1. It seems to be a very common thing missed by many playthrough videos. Don't let that deter you though, your video is quite entertaining and I'm excited to watch as I wait for my copy to arrive during Wave 2.

I start doubting about what I wrote “1:49:40 you should have used first a green + blue to advance the red track. That leaves you with one blue less” Does this really leave you with one blue less??? Or can these dies still be used after the first step for their symbol value?

Maybe not galaxy sized - 200AU sounds more like a relatively small star system.

At 1:01:00 would you not still have to resolve the red outcome? Because none of the dice in your roll pool could fulfil the green condition you move to the next row and resolve it?

1:00:54 how did you know you have to reroll the danger die? Did the card tell you to or is that a rule? If it’s a rule, I may have missed it

I really wish they had made the rulebook smaller to make it easier to read as you play, the game is far too sprawling

Watched your setup video and just started this one. Did you read thru the rule book all the way thru before playing or does the tutorial really teach it as you go?
