Welcome back to Hexed and Countered! In this video, Joe walks through Scenario 1 (Operation Perch) from Gateway to Falaise: Caen, Normandy 1944, published by VUCA Simulations. We play through the solitaire learning scenario from the German perspective, pushing toward Villers-Bocage against the British 7th Armoured Division. Along the way, we demonstrate core game mechanics including activation rolls, action point management, hasty attacks, combat multipliers, armor superiority, effectiveness checks, step losses, retreats, and command ranges. Should our next video be another hands-on gameplay playthrough of Scenario 2, or would you prefer a dedicated rules overview? Let us know in the comments below!

Join Joe on Hexed And Countered for a first look and gameplay walkthrough of War Footing: Strategic Defense Management, developed by Strategist Den Games and available on Steam. In this strategic defense simulator, you're put in charge of a nation facing an imminent invasion. With limited time, a strict defense budget, and complex diplomacy across Western, Eastern, and neutral power blocs, you must manage domestic production, foreign arms deals, military licensing, and unit training across multiple fronts before the war begins. In this playthrough, Joe dives into the "Industrial Giant" scenario to test out unit mobilization, defense spending sliders, arms procurement, and doctrine choices. If you enjoy tabletop wargames, PC strategy games, and hex-and-counter combat, be sure to like, subscribe, and leave your thoughts or tips in the comments below! Thanks for watching!
