Thank you, great introduction to Flames of War, I'll be watching all subsequent episodes.
We'll get them out just as soon as we can. They are filmed, just finding the editing time.
That’s a first rate set old bean. Well presented once again and good on you for putting in some context. When you add narrative you become more immersed. Good to see cooperative rather than purely competitive gameplay. This in my opinion is the very best way to wargame. By helping and supporting each other you get a much better outcome.
Oh for sure. Even a basic story helps to get a sense of what you are doing and what you are trying to achieve.
For sure! Once people start gaming with just the objective of winning the game, then it takes all the immersion and enjoyment out of casual gameplay.
Great game, boys. Thanks for taking the time to explain the mechanics. Always helpful, even if you're experienced in the game. Well done!
Our pleasure! Hopefully we get most of it right!
Nice set up again gents, thanks for doing the detailed rules explanations - I still want a different activation system than I go you go, but it's a fun game to watch nonetheless!
I tend to agree. What I would say though, alternating activation definitely slows a game down. It is excellent for skirmish games, but as you scale up it really draws out game length. I do definitely prefer activating a single unit and it completing its actions, then swapping to a new unit, but it is not without flaws.
Really enjoyed this report guys. Hope to see more.
Glad you enjoyed it mate, thanks.
Shared this with a friend who just got this box set.
Thanks Todd, I hope it is useful for them.
Awesome table and easy to follow. Good stuff.
Why thank you sir.
Really phenomenal video, I really appreciate it! I'm definitely going to subscribe and check out your backlog of videos.
Welcome aboard!
Looked like a fun game. The set up reminds me of Carentan.
I imagined many such actions shortly after Dday as the Germans rushed reinforcements into the sector.
This is a great video and a very good format. Good for walking a beginner who might buy the set through a game. I loved the rules graphics with rulebook page references. Nice work.
There was only 1 Mistaken Target roll. Was that because there was only one team that hadn't been assigned hits that was a valid target? Otherwise the player can keep rolling MT until they fail one.
PS. The miniatures look great too. Good work on the painting. You set a good table, sir!
There was only one other, un hit, eligible target , which we did not explain unfortunately. That was the limiting factor.
Yes,
Mate!
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaate!
really informative cheers guys, all the best mate, Garry
Thanks fella.
Great stuff.
Why thank you sir!
I play FOW with paper strength companies (infantry, armour & artillery) using historical tactics - with the BA slant on drawing dice.
Interesting idea, does it play out well?
Liked for the first double 6
I really like your table setup
Why thank you.
I like hit the beach
It sure is a great starter set.
So cool!
Thank you
What a beautiful table!
Thank you!
@@ModellingforAdvantage Did you guys build it all for this game, or are they modular? (Either way, extremely impressive work!)
@@TFZ. All hand built with lay on scenery. You can watch the table build in a video here: czcams.com/video/UKQwgwPQtw0/video.html
@@ModellingforAdvantage Ooh I think I will!
If i build the Paratroupers i musst Play 5 bases . Is the unit Leader one of those bases?
Great battle report. Just got this set and working through painting the models. Can you tell me what size the table is you’re using here?
Sure mate. It is just 4x4, fits in my spare room with just about enough room to get some cameras on the side of the board. You can even watch us build it here: czcams.com/video/UKQwgwPQtw0/video.html
@@ModellingforAdvantage That’s awesome thanks, I’ll go take a look 👍 What would you say would be about the biggest FoW game you could comfortably fit on 4x4? That size is about the maximum I’ve got room for in my house 👍 Thanks again!
You can comfortably play 75 points. Anything bigger you need to think about what armies you are wanting to play. Higher quality armies are okay, but they horde army will fill the board.
@@ModellingforAdvantage Awesome thanks dude 👊
thx for the introduction. I already ordered that starter set and now bought a german army on Ebay with the Fortress Europe book and the army cards.
The "Panzerlied" you played in the end is verboten in Germany now. Inwonder what tye police would do, if they heard it thru on open window?
I am also a certified "Kriegsdienstverweigerer". Would make up a silly story in the news, if I got arrested for playing this 'Lied' while playing a war game. lmao
I learned a new word today - one which I could not hope to pronounce!
Great BatRep!
I'm thinking about getting one flames of war starter packs.
Not exactly sure if i go with "hit the beach" or "clash of steel".....
I think clash of steel will have a better saving but hit the beach seems like a better balanced set ... an sadly quite older :/
One question to you guys .... where can i buy this tiny houses?
I think they look great on the battlefield!
Houses are just cheap mdf kits from UK eBay. Search for 15mm mdf houses.
Id like to try this game out, but man i dont have the patience to paint the miniatures
Some people p;lay with unpainted minis. It is not my firs choice, but plenty of people play that way
Tour HQ unit doesnt have to stay together - you can send both teams in opposite directions as they dont need to stay in command or take last stand tests
Oh interesting.
do the tanks come pre painted? Or do we need to assemble and paint them?
Does the set come with any terrain?
No to both mate, this set is all about the plastic kits. Same models are in the World of Tanks Miniatures games and they come pre-assembled.
What´s the measurements of this board?
4x4 - we film in may spare room and space is limited.
@@ModellingforAdvantage Ok, thank you.
Can 3 players play ?
No specific scenarios in the main book, but you could easily have two players on a single team, especially if East German or something where you get a whole bunch of units for a few points.
Where is the sand? Clickbait title :) Where are the plucky defenders of Warmington-on-Sea?
Jonny B does have the Foundry home guard... he painted one of em I think!
Command Chelsea pensioners 🤣🤣
He is the oldest of us... so seemed fair
bien ñoños...
true.
@@ModellingforAdvantage 🤣
Tried to watch but the British accent did it for me. Can you get some people to dub for you?
Not really sure what you would expect from such an odd comment as this.
@@ModellingforAdvantage a yankee dub would be really helpful for translation purposes
Holy shit that's the most American comment I've ever seen @@nicksaltzman2033
