Please keep these coming guys! You are one of the only channels out there putting out consistent Bolt Action content, and the more battle reports the better!
We'll do our best, if you haven't checked it out come over to the site to see Bolt Action Locked and Loaded: Loads of episodes in there www.beastsofwar.com/bolt-action-locked-loaded/
If you're still into bolt action BRs, check out Tabletopbattle on YT, those cats from Norway (I think) do a ton of BA stuff. Their production quality is no where near as good as OTT/BOW but its still entertaining
Love these live action battle reports for Bolt action please do more of these!!! cheers :)
Awesome, you need to do more of these! Also you should use the "soldier cam" that Warren used in the first BA bat rep to get some cool, cinematic shots :)
Id like to see a whole series dedicated to an alternate history like this one.
jack dawnson if you start down that road youll end up with war of the worlds steam punk ww2 - they can't help themselves ! :)
I'm of the opinion WW2 has so many epic stories THAT ARE REAL that its hardly necessary to add your own extras. I often think the writers of these types of what if stories have actually read much about ww2 , "truth is far stranger than fiction" really does apply in the case of ww2 , stick to the real thing, there's plenty of weird events to 're enact in 28mm
I know. I just thought it would be interesting to see how this would play out with Konflikt 47.
@@hazed1009 you say this but im planning on doing a battle of Arnhem, but after a certain amount of turns the allied column finally arrive, meaning that it could potentially be an alternate outcome of history
@@hazed1009 whatever floats your boat.
Hears the jackboots reference... instantly buys the film to watch 😂😂
I think allowing the defender to pre measure would be a good twist, as pre ranged points on a defensive position is standard in war fare.
Or have all his ranged indirect fire units have a buff so that they aren't 6 to hit off the bat, maybe like 4's because the whole beach would be pre-registered for artillery and mortars.
Great BatRep, and I definitive love the alternate world history as background
You guys are the only people that do bolt action battles of such a great quality. It is hard to find other videos that even come close
I really enjoyed the video, thanks guys. I'm not playing any TT games but those battle videos are very entertaining.
John, how can you let Justin's army alter the course of time. the time line has been ruined, we are going to get sucked into a black hole
John, those dice rolls landing on a 2, definitely Pte Pike was in the battle. Really enjoyed this batrep, good one guys!
You guys are by far the best channel bolt action wise!
Great game guys. I think the table looks superb, with the beach mat, however I would love to know where the railway models came from and what scale they are? Please keep up these BA reports on her.
Cool, finally some beach assault action!!!
If people give a thump down (16 down), they should write why!
You need some smoke markers to place on destroyed vehicles.
For a rally order, you still have to do an order test, and only if the order test succeeds you can remove D6+1 pins.
You also forgot the check for turret jam on the sherman and the Puma. ;)
Basically the beginning of konflikt 47
As someone just starting out, these films are invaluable
great game more fun to watch then most of stuff on tv
Satchel charges should be additional equipment, like panzerfausts.
Also, I would suggest that the d3 pins are applied first, then a Morale test to see if the bunker crew bails out.
Great game and informative. Love the house rules too. I do believe that units can only run into buildings. The units entering the bunker should not have been allowed to shoot, but over-all it was great. Love the game board...
Interesting fact: My Great Grandfather was part of a Hertfordshire & Bedfordshire Regiment which after evacuating from Dunkirk remained in England as the home defence force ready for the apparent German Invasion till the start of 1942 when it was clear it would not happen. After which they went to North Africa, Tunisia, Gibraltar, Italy and finally Greece during the Civil war.
Please, more bolt action games!
That BBC Intro was 10/10
I have only just discovered this channel. Fantastic, and this was really great content : entertaining, friendly, and informative about the system. Subb'd!!
Doesn't sniper have range of 36? Not 24...
Correct, provided they are using their scope, and using a fire order, so they can't have moved.
You are correct.
As long as the team doesn't move that turn.
Excellent videos and this game looks really great, watching some videos on it and it is definatly something to get.I wonder though with the armour rules, couldnt you just lined up the hull mg gun to fire at the infantry in the bunkers and shoot the main cannon (turret) at his armour during the same turn ?
Lol great battle lads, loved the BOI! jokes :) Cheers from Rob down in Cork, like, BOI!
I wish that my old gaming group was as polite as you.
Also, great scenario.
love this...any chance of you editing out the bits where you look up rules though.. not that i don't enjoy wathcing people look at a book in silence.
Morning, are you looking on doing more of these? Preferrably early war? They have really helped me get my head around the rules. Cheers.
Yeah I'd like to see more of these too! Also, what happened to Warren's Soviets?
V1 it did not get buzz saw, V2 vehicle now gets buzz saw. There is less armour on the sides and rear of vehicles, book not on hand, I believe it is one less for sides two less for rear. You guys did not put on a bunch of the vehicle pins. Smg does not lose acuracy for moving (though it rolled all 6s so that made absolutely no difference). However, most of the errors balanced themselves out, and the game was enjoyable to watch.
Oh, and you do have to roll for rally, you just roll at full leadership now.
ostrowulf it shouldn’t have it though, mg 34 not mg 42
This is a great scenario. Do you have any of the alternate rules written down anywhere?
Absolutely loved the video. Very new to bolt action but loving what I am seeing. Can’t wait to get my own army. Only criticism would be as the British is on home turf defending, should had British tanks.
Just found this video. It was great. How did you build the train? What scale is it?
One thing guys every time you hit a vah. With an AT weapon it takes a pin even if you don't do any damage.
I do enjoy these videos.. very helpful and good to watch but I do have a few pointers..1. Keep focused on the game. I love the history lessons and things.. nice touches but I wouldn't wonder too far from the game.2. Please read the rule book! A lot of the things you guys were doing was making me scream at the screen haha!! its mostly so that the more newcomer to this who struggle with the books can watch and learn rather than reading. A lot of very simple basic stuff was missed and just made up.. which I think let you down the most.. BUT!! I do watch all the vids you guys put up and you have inspired me to maybe start my own :-) keep up the good work.. and lets see more battle reports!!Peace! (From a fellow "MAD bolt action collector)
I really like this table top beachhead. Was this made or purchased? If made what was it made from?
Where did you buy those awesome trees?
I believe that units brought in from reserve cannot fire, but i might be wrong.
Also, when your tanks fired at one another they should have both taken a pin marker.
Reserves can only come in using Advance or Run, so no Fire order. If they Advance they can fire as normal though, so with -1 to Hit for moving.
Warmington-on-Sea invaded, Don't panic, Don't panic Captain Mainwaring, they don't like it up them
So two big mistakes in this one. first with a snake eye your troops understand their orders so well that you can now roll as if your troops are rallied meaning instead of removing the single pin for the order test, you can now roll D6 plus 1 to remove additional pins. then make your regular move. also when shooting at the backs of vehicles you get a +2 to hit. Great game thought guys thanxz. would love to see more of this in future videos.
guys you made same mistake I did with the new warlord pin markers, they're actually a lot MORE USEFULL than you might have first noticed ! if you look closely the base has little numbers - 1 to 12 and the spiked explosion has a little triangle shaped pointer on one side ! you use just the one marker per unit not a bunch of them. the only problem to highlight the numbers and arrow you'll need to paint them white and they're so small it seems impossible but here's what I did - slop some white acrylic paint on some plastic or shiney non stick FLAT surface (I used a mirrored tile thing as it was nearby) spread the paint out evenly in a nice wet layer then take a round base turn it upside down onto the paint and gently twist it in a bit- if you get it right only the numbers are covered in white and you gently pick it up - get it wrong and paint will splurge the numbers but don't worry just wipe off with wet cloth and try again. paint the little pointer white on the spiked bit , overspray the plastic with varnish or i prefer Plasticote spray can as its tough and used liberally and evenly really feels like plastic coat and will seal a built of pen on a dice for an age!
what you then realise is warlord wasn't being measily with the pin markers after all haha
hazed100
Can only add to comments for more please...you guys rock!!!
I know this is an old video, but I think you should have had the pill bunkers on over watch at the start. Your terrain is blocking you from seeing most of the board. Not having something with anti armor on the board from the beginning was a really bad idea. Guys in a bunker get to fight first in melee. Basicly them firing at the fatal funnel coming into the bunker.
Can we get more videos of bolt action battles !
Defences around Cornwall not as good? Well you’ve not seen a angry Cornish farmer with his shotgun.
1:30:27 he sounded like he was from North Carolina.
What about the pins on the vehicles?
Interesting, so how did they get round the navy, with such little fuel....
1:49:00 ish, the Sherman cannot turn around, only one 90 deg pivot allowed in Bolt Action for tracked, two for half-tracked and wheeled. (In real life a tracked vehicle is more manoeuvrable than that, I know because I have driven them).
Amazing. Wish I could see more of these. Sniper is 36" range, ignore all to hit modifiers except pin markers. Only problem with your Bat Rep, is way too much German armor in the beach. There are many reasons why that does not happen. One of them is beaches are zeroed in with heavy mortars and heavy howitzers from really far away, or in Normandy (example) by massive artillery in high positions in the two extremes of your beach stretch. Game would be more interesting and fun if you went... massive infantry, then Engineers, then armor. And defenders are English! what happen to all the artillery?
Agree on heavy armour presence, although it seemed to work well enough in this game. Also, the guys seem to have ignored the new Tiger Fear rule, which would have applied to both the Pz.IV and the Panther, which would have probably had a significant effect on the battle. It would therefore have been better to put them on opposite parts of the beach, to give as many British units as possible LoS and maximise the effect.

I like the setup but are you not forgetting about the Royal Navy?
What ships/boats are the Germans landing from? Men can jump over the side of the boats if they are daft enough but vehicles can't. They had no ships with drop down bows. They needed cranes.
At 1h38m serious rules breach, units boarding transports makes the transport go down, remember this is no 40K.
great show 4 walkers painted.,
Is it one pin per hit? Or one pin per abroad attack if hit?
Fun to watch Wien unable to get a game:) Think you boys forgot pin for hits to Vehicles 🤔
Beast of war next time try using the European battleground mine rules, they are abut more complex but would have made a massive difference to this game
Awesome run but I think your mine rules need to be tweaked slightly.
Is there any mobile or computer software to remind all these dice rules in function of all conditions ?
It's really not too complex, and it shouldn't need that. Especially for bolt action, where every weapon is pretty generic. You just have to look at the reference sheets in the back of the book. If you don't have the book you can still download reference sheets.
Where are the train parts from?
Please make more bolt action vids!
I don't know if the vehicles moved correctly? Especially the British with all the obstructions... I was under the impression that vehicles could only move in a straight line and tracked vehicles could only turn to the side once.
Secondly, I thought you couldn't fire over or through your own troops?
From an army builders perspective, its interesting that the tanks had very little influence on the outcome of the game, especially when they ended getting locked in a tank vs tank duel.
I dont know if theres much of a points difference there is between the two, but in real life a Stug had better armour protection than a Marder.
Maybe it was said I'm not sure I didn't read all the comments but the sniper range is 36 inches. Not to be a downer and be negative at all . I really do like you CZcams channel and both action videos
If England was cut off from America, how did they get the Shermans?
Kinda literal for a "What If" scenario don't ya think. Not a stretch of the imagination to think of an England in peril and some merchant shipping making it through a German naval blockade. Look at how in the early part of Barbarossa when allied shipping successfully reached Murmansk despite heavy German interdiction.
One thing I noticed. Never play with the guy on the left. Skinny nice bald dude guy gave him every brake he could, with barrages of; that's ok go ahead, that's alright I'll give it to you. As for the chubby nerd? Are you most certain the firing arc is 100% perfect and that the gun could fire into the slit at the most proper angle??? I would have that rulebook out and in hand and double, NO treble check everything chubby nerd guy did including the way he says dice for what should most certainly be die!
Also how did that light at non pentrate the half track ? 4+4 = 8 which is greater then the half tracks 7 armour
Also infantry cannot dismaount if anadvance or run order has been given
Amos Pallotta yep and ad +2 for rear armour
They can dismount if transport Advances (or remains stationary, of course), not if it Runs.
One more thing.... you cant assault the front of a bunker!!! that's the whole point of having a bunker. When assaulting a building have to measure from the model to the closes door or window, or whole in the building. The shooting slip is not any of those, they have to go around and assault the door. Also in one of the supplements there are rules for Bunkers. They have -1 to all results in Preparatory bombardement and artillery, air; bombardment. Bunkers are supper OP, but great for these scenarios.
True, but they didn't so much assault the bunker as dump a big satchel charge into it, which they house-ruled anyway. There was no following melee, and these rules worked very nicely in this scenario imho.
My grandfather drove a daimler dingo and and daimler mk2
Yeeeeeeesssss!!!!!!
I thought sniper was 36 range maybe just 2 ed
I say the Bren LMG is an automatic rifle because the actual weapon didn't have a guy chain feeding the weapon
This is a fair point. But the Bren was issued by the MOD as a "Light Machinegun" I don't think the way the gun is fed is really the way to designate it. Maybe the Americans were more on top of their designations with the BAR. - BoW John
Well said
Master Grunt712 yea but the mg38 had a drum mag aswell as being belt fed.
Sean Winter the MG mags held well over 100 rounds though, the Bren holds 30 so a loader would be needed for a heavy drum
Mag
Wow, What a go around story! Just say " Germany won the Battle of Britain and Operation Sea Lion is taking place"!
Can we see some more of these battle reports????
What kind of scenario would you like to see us play?
the new operation sea lion one would be cool?
I think I speak for many when I say that we want more Bolt Action 'let's plays' ! I personally love the alt history stuff too :)
I enjoyed the Battle rep. and the table looks just amazing.. but you do make a great deal of mistakes. and the red pin markers you use are not meant to be stacked up like when the Half-track makes a hit on the lower bunker. they have counters from 1-11 on them.
i really like them.. just to bad Warlords don't sell them seperately, yet (hopefully they'll end up doing so)
They do sell those pin markers separately
Aren't bunkers -4 instead of -2? As per the 'Bunkers' rule on page 127 of the rulebook? Or does that not count for HE?
Ah well, you can't remember every rule. Accidents happen gents.
Good report :)
And bren gun carriers are worthless when staring at ARMOR.
Doesn't the Hitler's Buzzsaw rule apply only to MG-42 and not MG-34... and those vehicle MGs are MG-34s... I wonder where the brits got their Sherman's since the Atlantic have been pretty much closed off due to U-Boats...
Hitler's Buzzsaw rule applies to all german LMGs and MMGs. This is because the MG42 and MG34 were only slightly different in function and role. They both took tons of ammo and spit it at the enemy quickly, loudly, and furiously. As to where they got the shermans, The americans floated a bunch across the atlantic, and some just so happened to reach british shores.
Also, Justin only used a single MMG on each of his tanks. If you forego firing the big gun you can fire two MMGs per tank (one is coaxial to the main gun in the turret). A similar situation happened with the Firefly in its final action, which saw it firing only its SuperHvy AT Gun at the Panther; it could have also hosed the nearby German infantry with its bow-mounted MMG. Most tanks are overcosted as they are, so you might as well use every gun at your disposal!
Sami Koivisto new rules mean vehicles get extra dice too - and just to let you know FINALLY the tigers 88 is classed as a very very useful HE damage dealer it is equivalent to a medium howitzer with 3" hit circle . a tiger finally is worth the dosh!!! 2×6d6 mmgs or 1xsuper ATgun with 3"HE shell plus new as meg is applicable to commanders coppula I believe (probably add 15 or 25 points )
should have been MMG not meg :)
@@topperdepop The Sherman Firefly doesn't have a hull machine gun. It was removed to store ammunition.
I thought when firing at a bunker you need a 6 followed by a 6 to kill in buildings and bunkers?
Bunkers differ from buildings in having a -4 cover modifier rather than -2.
Game starts at 15:00.
Ok so the "mine dice" is a waste of points.
I personally think a place like occupied Poland would be at least as terrifying as Soviet Russia
I'd prefer an overhead view, don't really need to see the players
is BA more fun than FoW?
Both are great in my view, but I think BA is easier to get into. The rules are simpler, and the command dice mechanism is very intuitive. However, I do LOVE the fact that you can field a large force in FoW.
Maybe it was American volunteers... :P
That was very American
Anybody bring some pies
if America did help why does he have Shermans he should have Cromwells but minor details
He said aid trickled in, but no troops for the invasion.
Before i Begin don't get me wrong, i'm not hating on This man's scenario at all. In fact his is one of the finer, more detailed and actually reasonable ones i have heard, which works in the grand strokes but falters in the finer details. This man knows his ww2 history well and i respect that. Good enough for a alternate scenario to be acceptable. But i'm going to state why it still most likely would not work.
The scenario though fun would still not work, for the same reasons operation sea-lion never could work in 1940, royal navy to big and controls channel, Germany lack of real fleet capable of landing troops, lack of landing equipment and boats, RAF is in effect. But in this scenario you created the landing would still not work but even more so, stronger Allied navy presence, British army had time to rebuild and prepare, RAF reinforced with US support air assets as well, US military assets even if only 20% is dedicated to European front more than enough to defend the UK. Plus the threat of a soviet army marching into the Reich would draw away any serious fighting power from the western front of the Germany army.
In the real war though Dornitz did get more U-boats than he asked for, by the time the Americans joined the war, allied technologically advances made u boats become ineffective and become steel coffins by 1944. The RAF being destroyed would be incorrect as the plan was to draw back squadrons to beyond German bomber range and build up strength for when the invasion game, if the battle of Britain started to become a losing battle for the RAF.
Another problem Germans would face is, well u-boats don;t make good invasion transports or logistical vessels, and an only airborne invasion would not work either. The truth is German production capability would not allow them to build all the u-boats they need and planes to keep fighting the UK while also arming up there army to fight Russia and build the transport ships to invade the UK.
The more they invested to fight the UK the less they have to fight the soviets and so they start losing on that front sooner and getting pushed back.
The Germans even if they could create a beachhead and invade successfully, there supply situation is what would kill them in the end, when the royal navy and US Forces start closing up the supply lines across the channel. Remember the Channel is very shallow a death trap for U-boats by 1944. Just look up what happened to the u-boats that attacked the fleet on D-day. Yet again this is 1944 so we now have Mad Hitler in charge who has no sense of long term strategic viability. so this landing does not surprise me.
Unless the UK is allowing the Germans to land, just to then trap a large amount of the German troops on the beachhead, then bring in the royal navy to strangle them off from retreat and then slowly destroy the Germans.Don;t get me wrong though, i'm not hating on This man's scenario at all. In fact his is one of the fine,r more detailed and actually reasonable ones i have heard, which works in the grand strokes but falters in the finer details.
Game begins at 15:00
Great video, but the impressions had me cringing so very hard
I say!
Weeeeeee
So much rules wrong right from the start, HE weapons fired at Buildings (bunkers) get no cover modifier.
Fair but very unrealistic. Bunkers to close to the water.
It's a game after all, friend :)
john I'd really have to watch you if I played , you make far too many convenient "mistakes" :) keep an eye on him Justin he's one of those "oh I forgot I wasn't allowed to fire that hellish Barraige of artillery that wiped out your armour, dang I wish I remembered that rule"-#----- WATCH HIM !!! :D
so many mistakes in this game
Yep, failed to remove a dice right at the start after knocking out the MG team aswell....
They are only humans!!!!
Lol the dice Gods must be so angry. Jaysus, its a game between two friends, not a tourney. And they both were smiling & laughing throughout so mission accomplished :)
Had to stop this half way through due to all the mistakes your making... its not hard to have a quick look In the rulebook lads.
lame
Can only add to comments for more please...you guys rock!!!
