Well done! Your terrain tutorial and explanation for construction is very inspirational. The battle report was superb. I was thinking that was the luckiest panzerschreck team of the war until its ultimate demise. And I was pulling for Sgt. Kane's Sherman. Sad to see him explode. Your game is proof that points should not matter. Historical battles were seldom even and those make for fun games indeed. Cheers, Paul

Very good looking armies. Enjoyable to watch.

That’s great to read Rob and its a good game to play. I’ve always been a historical gamer and at first thought BA was ‘kids’ stuff compared to more ‘sophisticated’ and larger rule sets with endless tables for range, calibre, velocity, angle of deflection and so on. But if you use a bit of imagination to some of the dice results its ok. I recall people saying a Sherman can never knock out a Tiger from the front? Well if you actually read accounts from the war they did. Not by penetrating the front glacis but by banging round after round at them either breaking a track or putting the crew into such a panic that they bailed out! Either way a ‘knocked’ out Tiger. The rules are quick and the drawing of dice rather than ‘I go U go’ is great and was first used by Bruce Rea Taylor back in the early 80’s with ‘command chits’. It’s a great game and can be altered with ‘house rules’ as you’ll notice I dispense with points for these games. Hope you enjoy it.

Love the massed tank type game! Please more, only I think you said tiger was had a "heavy" AT Gun with a +6 when it should have been a super heavy AT gun +7. Its the good old 88mm remember! Still nm , it was a very enjoyable battle showing how the numbers overcame the Tigers heavy armour. (Well apart from that dodgy worn out 88mm in the early Tiger Panzer VI (maybe the barrel was bent hehe) Really enjoyed it, and I'd love to see more. Even better would be a kind of "follow the platoon" through several battles and see how long they can all survive. You could do crews bailing out , there's a set of rules from warlord about bailing crews .

Enjoyed the video. Thanks 😊

Outstanding! Brilliant video production quality which is concise & to the point. The table/ terrain is absolutely on point & looks fantastic.

I know I make quite a few mistakes when filming as I’m concentrating more on framing and recording and only when I watch them back do I realise my errors. I’m crap at tutorial stuff as I forget to record so put how to photos on Facebook on the ‘painting’ and ‘terrain making’ BA stuff.

A nice bit of Tank Wars -Tigers and a PzIV in a face off with Shermans and fireflies :) One thing to remember when you have massive damage (and there was plenty!) roll the two dice separately as the pins stack and can affect the outcome of any order tests, not that it mattered here!

@@dazvanderyoung1911 Oh is that right :D That sure sounds like an amazing place.

if I may make a suggestion, I think slightly turning down the exposure on the camera or possibly experimenting with dimming or even colorizing the room lights a tiny bit might yield a more "cinematic" looking footage, if desired, and bring out a bit more color in the models. Because colors are closest to their local saturation at mid-range brightness, higher intensity illumination tends to desaturate the scene, in my experience. I noticed your awesome self-illuminating explosion props - I think those would look even more dramatic in a lower light environment.

Greatly appreciated Konsyjes and I know exactly what you mean about white balance and colour range and depth as years ago I used to photograph weddings, but sadly I film these videos on my iPhone only and my garage is lit by fluorescent ceiling light (I sold all my camera lights years ago) so controlling the lighting is problematic. I have a few apps for WB but the light is always an issue and if I try and lower the light the phone struggles with focus and image quality. I am planning on getting some new standalone lights next year which might help with some directional lighting etc.

Many thanks for the report and my models. I’m no good at tutorial style videos as I forget to record.

If you search on You Tube for 1/35 scale tank modellers you’ll find loads of brilliant painters who do great tutorials, which is where I took inspiration from. ‘Night Shift’, ‘jics’ and ‘Herbert Erpaderp’ are all good for tanks and do a lot of 28mm stuff 👍

Hello there. I watch Bolt Action battle reports for some days now and see that there is always a SdKfz 251/1 (possible a 4) as thow for the 8,8 Flak/Pak. But: the 8,8 was to heavy for the 3t Halftrack. So, isn't there a right option (SdKfz. 7) in the army lists?

@dazvanderyoung1911

15 күн бұрын

Peter you are absolutely right and I only used the model 251’s as I didn’t have a painted model Sdkfz 7 etc. I think most other wargamers are in the same position and use what models they have even though it’s not historically accurate. For the record I have now got a Rubicon models Sdkfz 7 and it will be seen towing the 88 in future games 👍

does point blank range negate the -2 to hit for being down? Otherwise it would have been a 6+6 to hit the Panzerschreck team in turn 3 and 4.
