I'm trying to, at least for these campaigns, to make every list different. I think the only time I've doubled up so far was with the 21st panzer half track company. No point in doing a campaign of 20 games if they are all the same list, eh?

I'll point that out to him. I don't have either of those so he probably just misread the card. Kind of like how he brought the wrong unit in mission 4.

I'll be finishing up with the D-Day Waffen SS Campaign, from there I'll probably take a break from FoW for awhile. My friends are starting to put their finishing touches on their Great War armies ;)

I also think that putting my 3 inch guns where the grey platoon would have been better for coverage. As I was editing the video I was getting more angry at my dice rolls. Soo many 1's and 2's on firepower checks....

I've experimented with it before in my Shadows of Brimstone videos but those are all still cameras. I think if I had a still camera in the corner while another is in motion would be jarring myself. Something I'll write down and try in the future though, thanks for the idea.

@@dragontankgaming No problem. Just something to consider. I completely understand, as you need to do what you think is best for your own presentation of the battle.

Ah never heard it called that. In the future I would run the Marder over the 7.5 hotchkiss as support. 1 less point for (nearly) negligible armor difference and being able to take them up to 4 is good option.

My opponent is so used to playing them with his recon formation he took them as a black box support even though they are a grey box heh. I didn't double check his army to confirm if that was possible. Marders (being the legal version) would be better. What's a Beute StuG?

Aw man, your right. I did the Delay counter in the wrong order. I don't think it would have changed much since all I had to do was kill his formation HQ to break the formation but it would have given him an extra turn forcing me into 8.8cm LOS, which I was trying to avoid. I was gonna argue against the Last Stand Test because I had read it, re-read it, then read it again and was 100% sure that it said you destroyed the tanks, not removed them. Well thats what I get when I think myself for bein gewd at engilish.

@@dragontankgaming I dont think it would have materially altered the result, although you might have lost a few more teams before you won! I know that this idea of tanks blowing themselves up rather than driving off when they fail morale tests was one of the things that you disliked about the rules, so Im glad that has been completely resolved!

Hmm, do you mean like an army list on screen or in the description? These games have been recorded or are being recorded in a way that is hard to make them all consistent with each other due to player availability. This game was recorded before D-Day British or D-Day US campaigns were finished for example. There will be army showcases in the future again, if that's what you mean.

@dragontankgaming valley gaming has a picture of the lists before the game. 21st panzer is still pretty new.

Ah okay I'll check that out. I would say the 21st panzers aren't actually new, they originally released as a pamphlet several years ago. However this game is not a 21st panzer army, this is just a Puma Company+Recon Company for the germans.

Well would you look at that. You're right. I've been playing the scenario wrong for years now. Thanks for catching that!

Possibly. Still need to get some games of conquest in and get some more dungeons material. I have all the heroes for dungeons but I didn't play it a lot as a kid so I cant remember too much on how to play it. And I have ZERO clue on how mage knight 2.0 works.

The forces were at 100 points.

Sorry to hear that. Our local playgroup is 16-ish people and another one in the same state further south of decent size. Most of it in the US in heavily concentrated on the east coast.

Actually Naval Gunfire is 5+ to spot with any team other then an assault or ranger observer. If its a standard assault section platoon its 4+ and if its a range or veteran assault section its a 3+ to range in. And yea, Naval Gunfire is thematic but kinda sucks. It really should be brutal, your looking at 3-4 inch naval guns with HE why are is it not brutal?

Good catch on the 6pdrs needing to hit, recorded that one awhile ago and you can probably see some rules mistakes in this campaign we corrected later (it was recorded before the other campaigns due to scheduling). Also good to know about blitzing on from reserves. That makes a "follow me" order actually kind of useful.

Not all of WW1 was fought in trenches. Bella Wood is the first that comes to mind

@@dragontankgaming What is the connection to trench crusade? 😄 Nevermind, i really was not hoping for a serious answer^^ gg

@@Jewus19 presumably that its 1914 :D

huh. Your right. Dunno why I said they should be pinned. (Also completely forgot about the jeeps, remembered in the next video I was supposed to have them).

That was what I was thinking about the Greyhounds 🤔

Thanks! D-Day British campaign is up next starting this week.

While I never played C&C, I saw the Tim Curry scene about escaping to space and was immediately sold on the idea of that paint scheme.

well thanks for the view then!

There are weird hellhound things for the heretics but thats all I know about.

there are rules for trench dogs. There are different kinds aswell (hellhound being one of them)

Did you mean 2.0? Because MK Unlimited is still 1.0 and still uses the rules, so the Striker has 14" move with flight.

Thanks for the reminder.

Man it even says it right there in the special abilities card. Guess that's what I get for going off memory. Thanks!

Oh I do need to update my schedule. But yes, I found at least one consistent (possibly 2 or even 3 soon) person to play with there is no way I'm gonna be stopping playing MK.

@@dragontankgaming Awesome! I'm looking forward to it!

Oh so when the sniper shoots me with 5 dice, its not all 5 dice combined just the highest two?

@@dragontankgaming ​Yeah. Like I said, it tripped me up too when I read it but Tuomas, the writer said he would explain it better in the 1.3.2 rules, but it is written out "clearly" in the 1.2 (check pg 6) AAAANNNDDD let's say you have a +1D for a Scope, then you have a +1D for Close Range but then you have a -1D for target in Cover, one of the +D and the one -D will cancel each other out and you will actually have a +Pool of 3 Dice. All pairs of +/- will cancel each other out and whatever +/- dice you are left with will dictate if you will add just the two highest (+D) or the two Lowest (-D).

On my screen, I have a line through "1D for target in Cover, one of the +D and the one -D will cancel each other out and you will actually have a +Pool of 3 Dice. All pairs of +/"... I have no idea why but I didn't do that lol...

Thanks for the info. I had just downloaded the roster sheet from the link on discord that showed me the rules had just been updated to 1.3 but we still went with 1.2 because thats what my opponent knew more then me (which is easy since I knew 0). While I use discord and keep an eye on the Trench Crusade one, I'm not keen on linking my phone number to discord.

@@dragontankgaming All good and understood about Discord (I'm not sure if the TC Server ask for verification but I don't want to misinform) My 1st game was close to yours too, so you're not alone. The use of "+ and -" from an ex GW designer, my brain was thinking add and minus. Once you get use to the dice modifiers, the game is not as brutal as you might think it is. Also, the Blood Makers do the +/-D thing in that when you make the opponent take a -D for an action, it's not a minus die, it's just a die that is added to the pool but now you roll for the two lowest dice. But I will say, I love the banter and the energy of you two and hope to see more reports soon. I went ahead and Subbed the channel!

I'll have to make that into a video or livestream when I finally get around to it. I've got a big project I'm working on right now that is taking up a lot of time.

True you mark models individually when you move as a formation but its easier to just mark the formation instead of having all the extra tokens laying around (at least for a casual game like this). Didn't even think about the formation assisted shooting. A 4 damage shot being used instead to give the Stomper +2 to hit would have been weird. Now he probably should have ordered the Stomper to shoot first to make the Steam Golem have an easier time at least.

Understood for simplicity purposes but keep in mind some viewers may have never played or watched this game. And without them these videos would be pointless.

Thanks for the criticism though, I will try to keep that in mind for next time!

Huh, never really noticed we were using mostly rebellion only figures. I have models from across all the sets. My Knights Immortal and Orcs are more from the other sets. I'm trying to flesh out other factions, like the Knights. I'm located up here in WA, near the Canadian border. However someone pointed this out to me on facebook if you are looking for players there is a database people can sign up to: wargamer.app/

Yea the first cobra shooting I think later on I mentioned we did it wrong but it only slowed the Iranian loss. Hmm it seems I have been mistaken all this time. I was just double checking the rules and I remember reading that the HQ unit does not have a leader. That is not true and I have no idea where I remember hearing this. I always thought that it was the HQ teams that counted as commander's (CO and XO) and counted for both re-rolling. Unfortunately I have quite a few games recorded as is with this mistake (mostly in Flames of War) that will have this mistake. Thank you for pointing this out and it will be corrected in the future. The Leo 1 Assault. PER THE RULEBOOK The other 3 bailed out Leo1's were from a different unit. Break off only states that a defending unit must move 6" away. The 3 bailed out Leo1's were not part of the assault at all, despite being within 6". HOWEVER in the FAQ they do say that you are correct that those leo1s should have been dead. Since I did not have the FAQ on hand at the time of the record we are...both right?? Thank you for pointing out these rules mistakes! Having an outside perspective really helps pick out the little things I had thought I had nailed down.

Thanks for the advice. I sometimes have a feeling that I move that camera a little too much or fast but I never thought about speaking too fast as well. I think that was only his second time fielding his Italian Infantry. Normally he plays tank heavy forces.
