More PBI videos

I have added more PBI videos.
I will catalogue them on the PP website tomorrow.
Thanks if you have a look.

This is worthy work, Martin, thank you.

I really like the format of these short, focused videos, which go a long way towards explaining the key principles and mechanisms of each RFCM rule set.

Thanks for the feedback Simon.
I can do a couple more if any specific thoughts come up.

Yes well done Martin. They really should help people to visualise what they are reading in the rule book.

[martin goddard]

Thank you Sean.
I will do a few more in the coming weeks.
Existing PBI players will not find anything new there, because 2025 PBI is pretty similar to what we have been playing the last few years.

Simon C should find them useful!

I am hoping that even  those partially interested in 15mm WW2 might give the videos a browse?

Hi Martin!

Thank you so much for the videos; it's amazing to have such support when reading through the rules.

I've been watching the video of the sample gamette between the British and Italians, and a question came up:

During the example, I noticed that once the British enter the town, and since the square they enter is face-to-face with another square occupied by the Italians, opportunity shooting occurs. However, shouldn't opportunity shooting also have been carried out in all subsequent turns, before rolling the dice to calculate AP, at the beginning of each British and Italian turn, given that units from both sides remained in adjacent squares? In other words, during the Italian turn, they should have received opportunity shooting from the British player, and vice versa—during the British turn, they should have received opportunity shooting from the Italian player.

What do you think? 

[Sean Clark]

That sounds right, Pablo. One assumes that in the heat of battle that the relevant officers were hankering down and taking cover 😁

I can redo some of the videos at a future time.  No worries

If it's not inconvenient, I'd like to take advantage of the fact that we're discussing the rules of opportunity shooting here to ask a question:

Let's imagine we have two enemy units in two different squares, represented in the diagram below by the red color, and a friendly unit represented by the green square.



For some strange reason, during our turn, we decide to move the green unit between the two red units. By doing this, the green unit receives opportunity fire from both red units, correct?



Let's imagine the green unit survives, and we end our turn, making it the enemy's turn. My question is: before the red player can calculate their AP for their units, would our green unit conduct opportunity fire against both red units? I would say yes, but it's always good to confirm.

Pablo,

Yes, and yes
