I received my box 2 weeks ago, but the dice and tokens were not included in the box. Did this happen to somebody else and if yes what did you do to still get the missing dice and tokens?
Thanks for the video gents. Enjoyed the banter throughout.
Missed this, what a great show! Great dioramas, very cool!
No Ram tank ever saw action. The Ram Kangeroo was a pretty good, well armoured, APC for WWII and was used by the Canadian's and British.
To Err is human To Arr is pirate Looks like a fun game, Mordheim with pirates sounds like a winner!
they can't include glue in the boxed games because the glue has a habit of leaking.
The crashed tiger I've understood for several years to be a reference to an encounter between a US towed AT gun that was unable to be moved because it fired so many rounds it buried itself in the mud deep enough the half track was struggling to get it out. Tiger came around the corner and was so close the gun couldn't depress enough to see the gun crew. The AT crew panicked, fired a shot at point blank causing the driver to panic, soil himself, and back up into a building which collapsed and knocked the tank out.
Nice video. 👍 To me the british hard plastic inf is the best hard plastic infantry BF has done so far. (If you build the motor pln you get so much left over figures because the same sprues makes the inf pln).
The Challenger is now an option instead of a Firefly, in the Cromwell platoon, in the new compilation book. Something to note about the infantry sprue, it does the Rifle platoon, as well as the Motor platoon and the Rifle platoon is bigger, so you could possibly make up enough extra infantry bases to make a Rifle platoon, so you'd have options... The Sextons are really a replacement for towed 25pdrs and are a couple of pts cheaper than the towed guns. The Cromwell CS (Mk V or VIII) had a 95mm howitzer. Challengers didn't arrive in the early part of the Normandy campaign but were there from July 44, so it is historically correct as an option
Also, the Welsh Guards would have had the same squadron tacsign shapes as the other armoured regiments, but the would've been white. Their regimental Tacsign would've been a white 45 over a green over blue square. For what it's worth, my name is Charles Tricker and I did some research for the original market garden book Hell's Highway alongside Battlefront. You can find me credited there and in the V3 Market Garden book, as well as on the BF website in an article about the grenadier Guards battalions.
Thanks
An awesome unboxing guys,that's alot of sprues
Thanks
The Ram tank was a Canadian tank based off of the M3 Lee chassis. It was its own tank.
I think they updated the Unit Cards for the Desert Rats to be able to field Challengers in Normandy, since they started arriving in July '44 and that's why the Card is in there.
As early as that? I did not know that.
Another great and informative unboxing 👍🏼 If I remember correctly Fog of War made a British markings video a while ago.
Yeah he did. It is the 21st Army Group markings he is talking about.
@@ModellingforAdvantage Ah yes, he made it less confusing for me at least 😄
Love it guys
Thanks
Where has Johnny B gone
Where has Johnny B gone
I love tank
And these tanks are great little kits.
holy, age of sigmar is crazy good. Theres so much stuff in the box
Yeah, like a lot of the GW starter sets, this one is good value.
Fantastic interview! Can’t wait to get my copy
Same, really looking forward to this one.
Really looking forward to this- thanks guys!
Our pleasure!
There is also a general purpose wagon included that you missed off the review, probably buried in the box.
My mistake, that was kickstarter version.
I was wondering about that, rechecked the contents list.
Love it. It's a great value box, well worth the money. The customization makes it all the better, as generally with other starter sets that only let you build things in a rigid one way only manner, so everyone's armies and photos on the socials all look very similar, this is not the case with DMH. Still wading the through the painting, but really enjoying it, even before playing a game...🙌🏻
Yeah, the modularity is great. I think there is more to come.
Would love to see a battle report sometime!
Well get to it sometime - its the painting always that holds us up.
Great review
Thanks
You can get full size card deck
Ah, it is not just the kick starter then?
@@ModellingforAdvantage definitely on the website. They are currently sold out but I'd imagine they have them back in soon as they can
Nice box set. Enjoyed this guy's.
Glad you enjoyed it
A good deal for current fans. £90 is a bit high for taking a punt on a game.
That is true, this is a set for people who know they want the game. You can still just buy the rulebook for considerably les.
Bought some of the DMH figures for my US Cavalry wars - Apache (Renegades) and Plains Indians were a good match to Foundry etc, but the US Cavalry pack was on a pretty small scale…highly disappointing!!
An excellent review guys
Thank you kindly!
Great review, this is game starter set I keep thinking about getting but im not sure I will have enough time to play.
Always the problem - new games require more time.
Really enjoyed this 😊
Thank you!! 😊
Thank you very much gentlemen.
Thank you too!
“He’s fallen down the well!” 😂
Anyone who is familiar with BattleTech will find some similarity here. For many years, BattleTech was the closest thing to a real tank skirmish game. This is so well done.
Great video and I learned alot about the kit and the history! Which it does seem like a great army starter set!
Thank you
30:14 It could just be a fun marker of an stragicly important point like the generic makers are.
True
Great unboxing as always Sir, will you be doing the other 3 army deals? I shall wait eagerly if you are! 👍🏻
We have done the 7th armoured Div one, which is up for members now and will release in a week or so. The others I did not buy this time round. If they are still around in a month or so I might do.
The activation, reaction and fallback mechanisms in Iron Cross are a really great way to game - I try and shoehorn these into pretty much any other rule set I can (Battlegroup being one). Also, removes the need for 'overwatch'. Further, you can 'game' with d4, d6, d8 etc. activation dice with regard to troop quality. As you can tell, I';m a fan [although addition of 7 days rules, spotting etc. also helps]. Cheers
Yeah, it is a curious rule set, I will have to look back at it sometime.
Will you be doing this for the other sets?
7th armoured is done, others I have not bought yet, maybe.
@@ModellingforAdvantage oh wow. And here I was thinking they were given to you. Looking forward to the next one.
Great unboxing, I expected some special cards like Clausewitz, in another timeline I had definitely gotten a set.
You and me both!
The Panzer Lehr took part in the occupation of Hungary, prior to Normandy, I believe to prevent Hungary surrendering. It was, as far as I know, the only Panzer Division to have all it's Panzer Grenadier battalions mounted in half tracks, the others as you say, relied mostly on trucks. I was quite pleased when I found out that there's 9 halftracks in the box and not the 8, that the box says there is. I think they forgot the HQ halftrack. The Nebelwerfer sprue is the same as the PaK36 37mm gun, in which you can do the normal 37mm barrel or the one with Steilgranate. The other gun barrels are acutally Soviet 45mm guns! I know as I've got some of those too. I've also noticed you get a lot more infantry models then you need. You can make a full 7 team Grenadier platoon with one of the main Grenadier sprues, plus 3 Panzerschrek/HQ sprues and you'll even have enough left over to make your formation HQ, not to mention the 10 PL metal figures. They used to do a Flakpanzer 38T in the previous editions of FoW, it's a shame they didn't bring them back for this D-day revival. The AA halftracks are handy for shooting at light vehicles and they give you another platoon, in your formation, making it a little harder to break, you could use them to help defend objectives. I think it's not a bad box for anyone, wanting to start a late war Panzer Grenadier army. Buy some of the halftrack armoured mortars and stummels and you've got a great army. I woud prefer Wespes to Nebelwerfers, as I think SP artillery is more in keeping with the army theme. Going back to the previous version of FoW, there was a proper Panzer Lehr army list in the D-Day book and they hade a 'radio controlled' company, which you could use early King Tigers or Stugs, with the Bogrward demolition vehicles. That would have been interesting to bring back now.
Ah, did not know about the Hungary thing. Thanks
cool
Glad you liked it.
Nice video. If I remember correctly the spoked wheels on the Nebelwerfer sprue is fpr the soviet 47mm AT gun. This can also build from it using the longest gun. The resin Sd.Kfz. 10/4 looks great because it is a (relativly) new sculpt I guess, released when V4 started. I have some 10/4s back from the V3 days. It had no driver moulded in, the side panels were seperate metal pieces and the gun was a multi piece metal. This one looks so much better, especialy the plastic gun.
Yeah, plastic guns are a cast improvement - they are straight and stay that way...
You can make the 45mm obr 1937 and obr 1942 , also the 3.7cm PaK36 with and without Stielgranate .
Glad seeing more infantry being added box sets
agree
I was looking at this box at my FLGS. Thanks for the video.
No problem 👍
Where do you get the map and houses from
Board and terrain is hand built. Buildings are cheap MDF kits from eBay with a bit of extra work done to get a texture.
Just the video I was looking for! I ordered this and then after looking on the app, it didn''t show the weapon profiles for the Flamer (Wraithlord), but now you have subdued my anxiety 😂
Glad to be of service.
Can this be played on a 4x6 table?
Of course. It would be better on a bigger table. I'm just short on space in my spare room where we film.
Too bad this is sold out everywhere.
Yeah, let us hope it returns.
