Love the explanations. Fun game.

Nice report mate, thanks 👏👏👍

Nice start to the game, looking forward to the next part. Those Viking search rolls at the beginning of the game were pure Sean magic 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️😂😂😂👍

Huzzah you worked it out 🤷‍♂️😉😂😂, looking forward to seeing how the game goes mate 👍

You make it look easy!

The previous campaign video was great. Looking forward to this one. I have only bought Bloody Barons but have yet to play it on the table.

I have a completely painted set up now, and no body to play regularly. Back in the old country, I converted it out to use my 28mm 40k and necromunda minis, using the current 40k rule set. Played it once. It needed some tuning but, worked the first time. I didn't want to spend money on a new scale of figures for a game that I might play once a year. in retirement I talked to my historical miniatures club, and spent the money to set up the game, after I thought people would play it. I am still wrong.

That was brilliant Sean. Cheers.

Smashing report this, Sean - lovely job!

Nice work mate 👍

I've always been so tempted by this setting. Endless possibilities. Looks like fun. I love the statue.

Good to see some AK action. Did you film on your phone and, if so, what did you use for the editing? Power Director?

Excellent work Sean. Mine own painting style is very similar. Fascinating to hear the background on the PP 14th army range. I picked some up to use in AK47 and thought they were lovely. Hopefully the interest in the Lardie Far East supplement might up the sales a bit. My dad was RAF in WW2 (and after) engaged in airfield construction and maintenance in NW Europe from DDay onwards. The RAF Regiment seemed to have been heavily involved in relieving line units on 'quieter' sectors. In Italy, for example, they were equipped with plenty of mortars to help hold positions, especially as less need for Light Anti-aircraft as the war progressed. Maybe Far East was the same.

Cracking game mate, really need to roll out the forces of Nootu again sometime soon, it’s been far too long 😉👍

AK47 Republic is my all time favourite set of rules and this video coincides with a reawakening of my interest. I have been watching a lot of movies set in modern African conflicts recently and looking at my lead pile wondering what to paint up before enjoying another game. Thanks for fuelling my enthusiasm a little further.

Good game Sean, you have built up a great collection of models for the game.

I love BAW.

Great tutorial Sean. Having now listened to your podcasts, I’ve worked out who you are. Great content all round.

Great walk through of the political phase. I love the trees, I did something similar using pan scrubbers for a wider, flatter canopy similar to acacia trees (if you squint a bit).

I just got the Bloody Barons from Martin. Would not have done so without the videos on this channel. Some interesting new concepts and absolutely well worth the money for the WotR scenarios alone.

Just came across this. I bought these rules about a year ago but struggled to understand the pre game mechanics. I enjoyed the run through but it seems very complicated and divorced from actual gaming for my taste. Thank you.

Just bought a copy, great run through.

Studying up on the rules. I have much painting to do before I can debut this infront of the club.

An exceptionally fine video. I own a number of RFCM rules. I have been inspired by the Square Bashing ideas to write my own WWII Corps Level rules and published them. I will not mention them here our of politeness. I must run out and buy a few more once seeing this video.

I'm so glad I found this, I'm about to build a French Foreign Legion Battalion for my 15mm campaign of the Battle of Kolwezi 1978. The figures all have para helmets but the troops fought in berets so I need to change heads. Thanks forthis video.

Interesting and insightful. Would love to listen to the "early days" from a collector perspective. I'd love to learn more about the actual sculptors since we're witnessing the technology move away from sculpts, metal castings and towards 3D printing.

Note, the destroyed People's Popular Front armoured car @45:25 would count as a "dead marker" within 3" of the remaining tank (the T-34), so that would actually be a moral factor of -3 (-1 for being fired at with a tank gun, -1 for a destroyed model, -1 for being within 3" of a dead marker). Likewise, the attacking infantry in the farm @47:10 should have failed their morale on a roll of "4" if they were within 3" of 4 friendly dead markers as it is "per 3 or part thereof" (i.e. 4 markers rounds up to a -2 morale factor). Incidentally, I am not sure there actually *are* 4 dead markers within 3 inches, but you mentioned there were in the video.

Just a couple quick points: the ZARP Dictatorship should have lost six Militia stands from only one of their units, not both (see the wording of the People's Popular Front flow chart that had this result). Also, the difficulty to bring units onto the table remains at the last failed difficulty number, so unit 5 of the ZARP forces should have been able to come on with a "5" as it was still testing under the "Third defender unit" difficulty of 5 or 6.

I have a copy of the Senso samurai rules if you'd like them. Thanks for the video. Nostalgic! :)

I have just scored a set of SENSO!

No " SENSO" Samurai rules?

Nothing like a bit of Monday night nonsense….. I was making some 6mm scale barbed wire bases last night. Prepping for All Hell Let Loose Great War play testing

I know this is a year late, but when rolling, isn’t it the number of units on that impacts the target number? IE when you rolled for the defenders number 3 unit it needed a 5-6. You didn’t get it. The next unit would still need a 5-6. It’s only when you have 3 units on the field that it goes up to 6?

Thanks for posting, I have been looking forward to this video. RoF is intriguing and, like all Peter Pig rule sets totally distinctive. It wasn’t clear to me what the overall effect of the extensive pre-game was on the battle that followed. Still I think I have enough to carry out my own solo experiment now.

Good video of the game.

cheers, good video. would like to play RoF.

I have never played played this period but have always wanted to. Looks like fun.

Nice video mate and nice set up 👏👏👍

the kids can step up from peppa pig to peter pig XD. That or pig wars. Nice video as always gents.

High Sean, I have painted up a couple of armies for this so when you are down maybe we can have a game. I've done scenery as well, you can see the photographs on the rfcm Facebook page if you have not already done so.

Nice to see some of these more obscure rules, pity we don't get people playing some of those older ones. I would like to try out that Sci-fi set. I have a few bags of PP sci-fi figures but have not opened them yet. I sort of feel it would be a shame to open the packets now I cannot get them any more! Still there are plenty of 15mm scfi troops available to use as substitutes. Interesting that you mentioned the Square Bashing rules including the Chaco War. During lockdown whilst shielding I have painted up two full armies fof this war, fof Bolivia and Paraguay, complete with the Bolivian armour, Carden Lloyd, Vickers 6t etc. It would be good to find a couple of people to play this using my armies whilst I could take photographs of the game and do a write up of the battle step by step! Maybe when the club starts up again? Much of the Mexican style scenery would fit for this war as well I feel, lots of scrub, cacti etc. Not to mention railways.

Lincoln’s War was my first set.

Enjoyed the nostalgia. I have several of these rules and am particularly fond of AK47 and Hammerin Iron. I have Square Bashin and the Samurai rules but have never played them, partly from hesitancy about gridded games. I am trying to overcome this at the moment by teaching myself 'Western' but I have to say I have been hugely disappointed. I am really struggling to understand them and there seem to be huge gaps in the explanation whilst space is taken up with padding trying to create 'ambience'. I will perservere but doubt they will become a favourite of mine like AK47. Did I hear you say there was a ruleset called Hoka Hey? That might suit my needs instead, but I am now placing much hope in the revival of Pony Wars by Baccus.

Thanks for posting this fascinating trip through the last few decades of RFCM rule books. Props for having played most of them - as you say, most long term war gamers have large rules collections. The first rules I bought were set of (7? 8?) from Don Featherstone editor of Wargamers Newsletter for which I sent a postal order. Recently I seem to have started accumulating Peter Pig / RCFM rule books and hope to start playing (solo alas) with the right inspiration. You remember that you have promised a Regiment of Foote video?

Great video and a good collection Sean. I never realised there were so many PP rule sets! And here's the best version of Streets of Laredo ever: czcams.com/video/qsu5Jeowe6E/video.html

Very nice trip down memory lane, Sean!

Absolutely interesting collection, it's time you put more games on down at the club (once I return) and introduce more into the world of Peter pig😁 still have not played patrol in the sudan yet or square bashing🤔🧐 keep on rolling them dice 🤓

You can find the tune for Goober Peas here: czcams.com/video/9brwzyhx2Z0/video.html&ab_channel=2ndSouthCarolinaStringBand-Topic I listen to the 2nd South Carolina String Band all the time when playing ACW.

First unit, very nice Sean.
