- It's time for another exciting game of Grimdark Future Firefight, the sci-fi skirmish game from One Page Rules. In this battle report, colonial troopers attempt to defend Cold Water Oasis from an army of hostile xenomorphs. Who will win this epic battle in the wasteland? #battlereport #grimdarkfuture #minaturesgame
I really enjoy these battle reports! I'm a pretty big fan of Grimdark Firefight, and it's fun to see these skirmishes play out with some beautiful classic minis.
I’m in love with this channel. I love the relaxed or casual enjoyment of the hobby. Your tables are always so beautiful, your stories are always engaging. I’d really like some links to where you get your models and terrain, If I could emulate even a portion of the fun you guys get to have it’d be amazing. These OPR, Space Wierdos and Stargrave games have really gotten me jealous of you guys!
Hi Nox. Thank you very much for the kind words. Most of the terrain in this video came from Battle Systems and PlastCraft Games, but a lot of other stuff was accumulated piecemeal, so I don’t always remember where we got it. I will say that swap meets and conventions are great sources for second-hand gaming materials. We’ve found some real bargains over the years.
Great game; Love the Red Rocket station, but wouldn’t want to meet the deathclaw that threw the car on the roof
Amen to that! 🤣
Your voice is so perfect for the format, you could be a Fallout NPC warning about bandits.
Absolutely love the classic city fight paint scheme on your Cadians... And they make do a far better job this time than when you were playing space weirdos
They had a better general this time.
Absolutely EXCELLENT. Thank you for sharing this... what a wonderful treat :-)
2:11 - "Think of me as a Commodore 64..." LMAO.
Great reference, fellow middle-ager.
The editing on these videos is fantastic 🎉
Wonderful table! Battle Systems does great work!
My favorite battle reports on youtube
Excellent battle report, gripped from start to finish.
Ya know, I dont know much about OPR or wargames but watching this was pretty entertaining. 11/10, would watch again! I cant wait to see what else you put out!
Very glad you liked it. The batrep vids are a lot of work!
Blue sticky tack works great for models on uneven surfaces. Loved the battle report by the way.
That was a lot of fun to watch 😁
As always your collection of imperial guard makes me jealous! Loved the report.
Great video! I love that the two of you play together and the terrain is really interesting. Keep up the great work!
I am really inclined to try this game. It seems fast and fun!
Many your videos are great. Such a great storytelling voice as well, and Lynn sounds fun and cheery as well. Subscribing.
Such a great channel, I really enjoy all your videos!
Great video, great game. Thanks
The Caesar's Palace cards add a nice Fallout New Vegas edge to the game. Thanks for another fun video.
Who put that VW Bug on top of the Red Rocket? 🤔😄
A deathclaw tossed it up there.
@@oldhammered 😄😄😄
Troopers we are leaving! Think you need a new sniper! 🤣
This was fun! Thanks!
A fun watch!
This was awesome
This was great!
Commodore 64?!? Wow...you dated yourself with that one! lol (yeah...it takes one to know one, I know) ;)
YEAH!!! Long live Commodore 64!
Far superior to the other game!
Enjoyed the game! I really like the terrain. Where is that from?
Hi Gary. The buildings are a mix of Battle Systems and Plastcraft post-apocalyptic terrain. The Red Rocket building is from the Modiphius Fallout line.
Shouldn't all models in a squad get to roll on the wound chart instead of just the last model standing?
You may have mentioned this before, but where's that terrain from? It looks really nice...and I don't like painting terrain
Hi Matt. That is mostly a mix of Battle Systems and PlastCraft post-apocalyptic buildings. The Red Rocket building is from the Modiphius Fallout line.
So what would you say is the difference in 'flavor' between Space Weirdos vs. Grimdark Firefight? Any preference?
I'd say Grimdark Firefight is a very streamlined and functional ruleset for getting old GW and Mantic minis back on the table, but the choices you have when activating a unit are fairly limited (advance & shoot, rush, charge, etc,). Also there are very few die-roll modifiers. Most of the time you're rolling against your quality or defense, and that's it. However, Firefight can accommodate more models, because some units are actually groups of three. Also, I really like the Army Forge list building app for warband creation. Very handy.
Space Weirdos, on the other hand, allows for more choices during activation, because you're always deciding how to allocate a unit's actions (forgo movement, and you can shoot multiple times for example). Plus there are more dice modifiers that can increase or decrease your chances of success. And there are some interesting wrinkles that can completely change the flow of gameplay, like if you shoot at someone and roll poorly, they get to shoot back!
So, both games are really good I think, though Space Weirdos has a bit more depth and is probably better for games with a lower model count. Grimdark Future Firefight is great when you want to teach someone the rules in 15 minutes and get right to gameplay.
@@oldhammered Thanks!

which marine minis are these? they are nice
Those are old metal Cadians from GW.
@@oldhammered oh wow, thanks. Shows how little I know about older models. They're lovely.
What terrain is that?
Most of it is from Battle Systems.
What size of battlemat is that?
That is a 3x3.
Do you prefer that size over the 4x4?
@@elirobs26 Our table is only 42"x42", so a 3x3 is the largest mat we can accommodate. A larger mat would be helpful for some games like Dragon Rampant. On the other hand, some small skirmish games are better on a 2x2. So it just depends.
The auto cannon should have to remain stationary. Of course I have never played a game like this so what do I know.
