Congrats to Chris for managing to channel Hood. Those are very large, "Texas-size" shoes to fill.

Well, by later in the war, just one shoe to fill.....too soon?

While I have enjoyed the historical part of this series, I'm glad to finally see a war game!

@@LittleWarsTV Thanks for the info! Can't wait to see them!

I love the excellent Historical reveals, & the fact that the players respected the game and did not look up these real "reveals" in advance. Top Sausage, as we say!

If you find a friend who never tries to cheat at even a simple boardgame, cherish and hold on to them for dear life. If you know a friend who has cheated on even a simple board game, hold them at arms length for the rest of your life.

These are exactly the kind of high-friction scenario rules I love to use in games.

These small combined arms/ river boat battles are fascinating! Along with Grant’s actions they portend Viet Nam by 100 years. I think there is still a lot of land that can be preserved here.

Masterful story telling in an entertaining manner, per usual...thanks guys!

Great batrep. I love the reaction to the hidden terrain. I would like to see more fog of war in your battle reports. I had no problem with your extra time. Anything up to about 20 minutes is good. You stuff is so good I am sometimes frustrated when they are shorter.

We do like to mix up the lengths of our reports. Our next ACW game (also this month) will be about double the length of Eltham's Landing

Being ambushed by a lake seems appropriate for the way 1862 went for the Union army!

I know this comment is late, but after watching it again and reading other comments I decided to add mine. First, thanks for the video, the historical background was interesting, well done, and added much to understanding the battle. Although this was long for your QSRs I wish you had two versions. This short video for those not interested in the details of the wargame and a longer version where the game play is shown and the the players discuss the tactics and their opinion of the rules. I have no feel for how these rules compare to Johnny Reb, Brigade Fire and Fury, and any other rules. Also it seemed that the Union troops walked through the lakes well before they were revealed. Seemed strange to me. I still enjoyed the video, but as a gamer I would have liked more detail. Thanks again.

Got to admire those tough Texans!

What a watery and wooded mess! Amazing that they even fought on this ground.

Don't apologize for the "length" of the battle. I have a better feel for what happened. Could have been longer even!

Super exciting ACW calvary re-enactment at 13:07

Loved the video and battle. Nicely presented and smartly devised, this looks like a fun game to play. Thanks to all the guys at Little wars from over here in the UK.

First class batrep, everything's perfect...And in addition, we can see a lot of good humor around this gorgeous table!👍👍

I miss the longer format tabletop videos :(

A big one coming this month for our grand finale of the On To Richmond series....

I wish the club near me would do stuff like this.

Any video featuring my Texans earns a like immediately, good fighting boys.

This whole campaign is amazing, thank you guys

Would love to see longer videos of each turn. A second channel like “little wars - turn by turn”

I feel we're headed towards a daring synthesis. Where one day at a historical site, a life sized table top game is going to be played out. A turn based historical reenactment.

Simply the best historical wargaming channel on You Tube. Thank you.

It’s good to see the GOAT Ed once again.

Mcleland looks like the one you would want at your hq but not the one in command

Time spent on recce is seldom wasted! Great game guys!! Thanks🙂

This was great! Feel free to make the battle reports longer to give us plenty of tabletop moments.

Thank you. I've been waiting for an actual gaming video.

Nice to see you guys back around the table again.

Well played! The surprise lakes were a cool touch.

A surprise to the troops who fought there in 1862 as well!

Had an uncle who was a 'civiwarbuff'. I think he would have enjoyed seeing a vid like this.

Glad to see the content. Nice scenario.

Thanks Guys my morning fix.... lol. Long live true history of the USA. Well Done.

Love the surprise of the lakes......

Awesome vid, and I actually live like 15 minutes away from that park! I've always wondered why there was a random trail right off of 64... glad you guys could visit my home area!

The parking lot for the trail was empty when we arrived--a pretty rural area overall. Very quiet.

I love these American Civil War videos especially the longer ones thank you for this keep em coming.

On the theme of ACW, could you do a Chickamauga wargame? It's the second-bloodiest battle of the American Civil War, full to the brim of fog-of-war issues, and one of my personal favorite battles of the American Civil War. Also, you've never done any ACW Western Theater battles before.

Huzzay! Another glorious firefight from y'all

Started off playing the Original Brigade Fire & Fury, and when the Regimental rules came out, I was hooked. I have watched this batrep a couple times, and downloaded the scenario from the Free Stuff on the website. What I can't seem to find, or somehow overlooked. When or how do you determine when to place the hidden mill ponds?

Thanks for the video, Little Wars. I always look forward to your uploads.

Ya gotta love Hood!

This would be a great Kriegsspiel. I may try and make a map for this battle.

Great stuff gents, thank you for all you do 👍

Neat

Great game!

Another excellent video, am really enjoying this series

Excellent

Is Regimental Fire and Fury a new version of the one you reviewed or a different ruleset entirely

@LittleWarsTV

2 жыл бұрын

Great question--it's a different game. Same designers and many shared concepts, but the regimental version is more detailed. Weapon types, troop classifications, you name it. It's intended for you as a player to manage about a brigade or maybe two small brigades. But anyone familiar with the original game (which we reviewed) will find the regimental version closely related.

Awesome content as always. "Feel the enemy gently" Well we southerners have a way with words. I reckon it was his way to say probe the enemy but make it where he'll be getting a mint julep for his troubles, lol.

I'd like to see how the water terrain markers are made.

@LittleWarsTV

It's just clear silicone caulk on wax paper--once the caulk dries, peel off the wax paper and paint the bottom. We then glued the caulk lakes to felt for a backing. Very cheap and easy

I loved this!

Excellent program and series!

Great channel. Back to the larger battle please.please.

How about a reconnaissance regiment? They don't fight. They just find out where things are. But maybe that's anachronistic. Dismounted cav maybe? Mind you horses can swim.

Let's go Texas!

If anything, a longer video is better, love y'alls content!

More ! More !!!!

Is there a tutorial out there for those cool woods? Those look really neat.

Yes, there's a photo tutorial we did many years ago for these woods available at www.6mmacw.com

Nice report.

I'm curious about the rules for revealing the water features - surely the Union (and Confederate) troops who marched *through* those unrevealed 'impassable' water features to reach their positions would have revealed the terrain to the respective players?

In the UK there is a part of London called Eltham, this is pronounced with a silent "h" giving Eltham a hard "t" sound i.e. Eltam. How would the US location have been pronounced in the 1860's I wonder?

Did the Texans get bigger caliber guns?

@LittleWarsTV

2 жыл бұрын

Hah no, but they did have mostly rifled muskets, which is a big upgrade in Regimental Fire and Fury. At this stage in the war lots of troops on both sides are still using smoothbore muskets

I have been writing a rule set called lone survivor. It is a historical modern RPG. The rules are one page and are soon to be available for free. If your interested could your club try to run a quick game and give me some feedback thanks!!. Loved the video you guys really are amazing at these battles. I’ll provide a link to the download of all the assets needed to play below.

I wish there was such a cool community in my City/county... I'm from south America and things as these just don't exist here... Kinda sad. I have mande some own maps and they are fine... I made paper miniatures with bases and, well the serve their purpose but don't look too nice Also there is no One interested into stuff like this... I tried but no one likes it or shows interest... It's kinda me playing with some rules I found online ;) I would have bought more stuff if the exchange value of the dollar to local currency wasn't that bad So if something costs 50-200usd That is just too much (The average lunch costs about 2-3 bucks) If you guys know how I could get more people in my soundings interested... I would appreciate it help

01:11 - That "little town's" name is BARHAMSVILLE, not Barnamsville. You guys give our cozy town 2 seconds of spotlight on the internet, then say our name wrong.
