Tutorial & Solo Playthrough of The Plum Island Horror - Part One

Description provided by Tabletop For One on YouTube:

In this video, I teach and play through the solo mode of The Plum Island Horror by Hermann Luttmann and GMT Games. In The Plum Island Horror, you lead a faction of survivors to rescue civilians and keep the horrors at bay. In the solo mode, you control at least two factions. This is part one of a two-part video tutorial series. Please see this description or the pinned comment for rules corrections and clarifications. Disclaimer: I purchased this game myself through GMT's p500 system. My opinions are my own.

Correction: A Shield roll during a ranged attack only does damage if the target is in a Field. If the target is in a building or forest, a Shield roll is considered a Miss. Clarification: A unit that survives a last stand moves one space from that location, but cannot move north. If it cannot move, it cannot perform a last stand. Correction: I had mentioned that the Exhausted Location markers get removed at the end of the round. They get removed at the end of the day (end of each night round). Correction: When using the medi-vac helicopter, it must be not be disabled and must be in the hospital area (uncompromised). The unit you want to heal must be in an area with a heli-pad that is not compromised. Clarification: Healing always heals one hit cube, unless an ability says otherwise. Correction: When an enemy spawns in a location with a faction/npc/civilian unit and unless otherwise noted, that enemy unit immediately conducts a close combat attack. Clarification: The Horror +1/+2 tokens only get removed when their effects are applied on a Horror unit. If a lane that has one of these tokens gets activated, but there are no horrors on that lane, the token remains in that lane's spawn zone.
