Thanks for this awesome historical battle report! Fantastic models and terrain, really enjoy that you have close ups and show the views of the troops. Cheers!
Hi, thanks for watching- glad you enjoyed it. I am looking forward to seeing your battle reports too. Hope you enjoy the rest of our content too. Kind Regards, Dan
I really enjoy these historical battles. I prefer seeing every turn unfold unit by unit and dice roll by roll quite a bit more. Having a historical basis for your scenario, I suppose makes up for it.
Thanks for the feedback! really glad you enjoyed it. Our aim for the next one is to show a few more rolls etc foe critical moments, and maybe a wee touch more of the 'buys behind the dice' too!
Hi, I hope you got a chance to check out our latest vid' advance on Mottola' which is still historically correct, but we also brought in much more of what you requested. Hope you enjoy it! Dan
Hi Scott, Thanks for watching- glad you enjoyed it! Check out our other Batreps on the channel since you enjoyed this one...hope you enjoy them too! Regards, Dan
Thanks for that, no doubt I live in Australia, you here the off Kookaburra in the background!🙂 I assume you realise that this is a full 11 scenario campaign book now (www.valhallagames.net/index.php/webstore-now-live) Thanks again VHG_Rex
Thanks Mark, really appreciate your feedback! We are working through creating a series of scenarios to eventually produce a very focused campaign around the Primosole Bridge Battle...perhaps there may be some interest from others to make them available to anyone.
So are we, pity we don't live in the same country the games are a long time apart. Apparently its my dream game next time, better get started on the terrain!
Thank you! We are working on further scenarios to make a mini- campaign around the various aspects of the battle...Watch this space for more! Ive just changed jobs -back into the army- so my holidays are up in the air, but if Rex and his family will have me I hope we can fight another one or two maybe this Christmas??!!
Thanks Mark! I was really pleased with how the Blitz turned out too...i had to staudy to even work out if the wipers were top-down or hood-upward! I believe they were both at various stages..? definitely found some upward ones in photos so went for that!!
Glad you enjoyed it. In case you didn't know this scenario is now part of a a full campaign book available for pre-order: www.valhallagames.net/index.php/the-battle-for-primosole-bridge-pre-order VHG_Rex
Thanks for that, game 2 is in planning now. Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and listen to the historical episodes that are the basis for this game. Rex
Hi Sam! Thanks for watching, and also the feedback- Much appreciated! We got quite a bit of feedback on that after we did this first battle report. We have settled so far ( and it could change in the future for sure dependant on system etc) on a time saving balance for the bolt action batreps of not showing every dice roll, but focussing on what we think are pivotal moments...hope you check out and enjoy the remainder of the ones we have posted and let us know if you think were improving! regards, Dan
Thanks- Thats a great compliment coming from you!!Much appreciated. We will have fresh battle reports coming shortly after Xmas ...about to start filming more after plenty of terrain prep!! Merry xmas to you.
Thanks Guy, the veggies make another appearance here: czcams.com/video/4mT1rD9QDt4/video.html that was a fun game! Yes Dan is a British para so he's fussy like that. He made a full tutorial on paint colours here czcams.com/video/ElOUGslyN5k/video.html trying to educate people that they are NOT red berets :-) VHG_Rex
Thanks very much! yes- more battle reports coming soon. We are also uploading our podcast series to date on here in the next 24 hours for those who enjoy listening via CZcams. Thanks for the feedback!
sweet a new bolt action channel! Lol. Really lovely stuff, I'd love to see your take on Arnhem bridge! One of my favorite battles of the war. Frost and his plucky Tommies were really unbelievably tough! Stubborn is definitely a very fitting rule for the British Paras! Haha!
Hi, Thanks very much! glad you enjoyed it! i hope you will enjoy the Op Slaptick mini campaign too ( we have the first game up already!) as its historical. Feel free to follow the link for the podcast specials on primosole bridge too! Dan
Hi, Great! Thanks for both I hope you enjoyed the podcast as much as this Vid! We definitely will be producing more ( And soon!) ive just started a new job last Friday so just taking a breather for a few more days before doing new content! Thanks again!
Been listening and enjoying the cast - not much of a tourney player so the broader minis and historical scenario talk is of more interest. But your tourney story has been fun to experience what you went through.
Thanks and thats great to hear! weve just released a new podcast episode also- thanks for being patient and it wont be that long again before we do another!
Hi, Thanks for much- glad you enjoyed it! I love 28mm, but theres real bonuses to playing in 20mm for sure: the biggest benefit i can see is the ability to access huge catalogues of vehicles etc by manufacturers and also model railway scenery too...Go for it and have fun! I hope our stuff can inspire you too. Check out the other battle reports, and thanks again! Regards, Dan
@@ValhallaGames hi thanka for your warm reply. If your intrested you can have a look at my humble channal. Iam on the verge of completing my armies and do battle reports. Cheers mate
From what I have seen 1/72 are typically all in scale that's a real bonus in my book vs the bulky 28mm and super small 1/56 vehicles that warlord produce. The only negative is that it cuts you off from a lot of the Bolt Action community. If you have enough like minded 1/72 players then your all good. Glad you enjoyed it. Check out the podcast as well at valhallagames.net/
Thanks! These FJR minis are mostly by Perry miniatures, with some from offensive miniatures added in also. Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback!
Hi John...Im afraid it was back to the ranges for that 6pndr Team!! they were pretty darn ineffectual!! We are filming next battle reports now, so will be in the first weeks of the new year some new games for you to see...best they get their act together, eh?!
Durham light infantry, I think they had to hold the bridge, after para had done there bit, or until they arrived, I know he told me, he went from girder to girder with the sound of bullets ringing all around, he told me how he got a cross he never knew. He said he was no hero, but he was my hero. He died last month age 96.
@@lairdstephenrousek.r.o.6505 Yes, they did. If you want to know more listen to our podcasts episodes 3a and 3b in particular.. a sad loss of life from the DLI. They were heroes for sure.

@@lairdstephenrousek.r.o.6505 I missed this comment, but as Dan said THANKS for sharing, this is why we play historical. Very sorry for your loss but 96 is a lot of living, glad to got the chance to hear his stories

Hi! in this Primosole Bridge battle report, the British paras are Warlord..mostly plastic with a few metal ones also. The Majority of the fallschirmjager are Perry miniatures and Offensive miniatures ( you can find an unboxing/review vid on our channel too). the sdkfz 7 is warlord ( with a perry miniatures driver figure) as is the '88- but the 88 crew has been replaced by the tropical uniformed Perry miniatures '88 crew. the Kubelwagon is Perry, and the StuH is rubicon. Hope that helps!! check out our Op Slapstick battle reports for warlord fallschirmjager! Thanks, Dan
Super job, excellent narration, the figures and vehicles top-notch, as well as the map, Cheers!

Great looking board - I prefer historical battles over points games. Keep em coming.
And subbed.
Great episode. Thanks!
Thanks Kevin, this is one of our favourites as well. Very topical with Italian minis and campaign book coming out now as well. Very exciting. VHG_Rex
Great terrain and minis! Great AAR! Loved the birds in the background.

Excellent report. The buildings and terrain looked great as did the figures. I liked the scenario from a game stand point and an historical one.
Thanks Mark, really appreciate your feedback! We are working through creating a series of scenarios to eventually produce a very focused campaign around the Primosole Bridge Battle...perhaps there may be some interest from others to make them available to anyone.

I absolutely love the dust effect on the opel blitz truck windscreen, though the entire thing, armies and table look great
Thanks Mark! I was really pleased with how the Blitz turned out too...i had to staudy to even work out if the wipers were top-down or hood-upward! I believe they were both at various stages..? definitely found some upward ones in photos so went for that!!
Some great “down and dirty” camera work, really adds to the video. I find static camera bat reps so dull. Good job

Simply Amazing!
Really love this battle report. A beautiful table with some beautiful minis. I hope you keep these up!
Thanks Marshall! Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, we have some more coming soon.....!!
awesome table and boy those are some lovely detailed miniatures! cant wait for more :)

Great report, wonderful terrain and figures, and very very impressive close ups!

Love the historical theme of this! Thismis why I left GW behind, great report!

Nice report, great terrain and armies. Shared to the Eccentric Man Facebook group.
Thanks Ken, much appreciated! We love your work.
And now subbed the podcast - I hope you’re able to keep producing content.

thanks good job
Thanks! glad you enjoyed it! ...more to come on this battle soon! ;)
I find if I can build to a scenario it keeps me inspired to buy and build items. I can’t just build random armies just to have them.
Yes- me too with WW2 armies! im going to add this point to a future podcast youve suggested on building to a scenario etc...thanks again! Dan
Good video!

Thanks Christopher! Hope you enjoyed watching the game. Regards, Dan
Dan, Game was impressive. One never know with battles how they will go.
I mist what scale this is? Beautiful board and minis.
Thanks again Ken! This game was played with 28mm size miniatures. Kind regards, Dan
nice guys very sweet.
I play BA in 1/72. For cost and more army on table.
But this makes me doubt cuz they look fantastic..

Thanks! These FJR minis are mostly by Perry miniatures, with some from offensive miniatures added in also. Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback!
Does primosole mean first and only?
Hi; Good question! I believe the literal translation means "FirstSun" or "First Sunshine". Thanks for watching- hope you enjoyed it! Regards, Dan
So what happened to opportunity fire from the 6lb?

My Grandad was In that battle.
A fierce fight. Total respect for both sides who fought there in the battle. What unit was he in ? do you know?
Durham light infantry, I think they had to hold the bridge, after para had done there bit, or until they arrived, I know he told me, he went from girder to girder with the sound of bullets ringing all around, he told me how he got a cross he never knew.
