😂🤣 I know… but she was pushing her luck saving all those Soviets! Glad you liked it. We are looking at the River crossing over the Don as an assault/dawn raid next, then into Stalingrad… But that’ll probably be 3rdEd by then! Thanks for you comments as always👍🏻

@@theministryofminiatures I enjoy all your reports, but this Barbarossa series is the icing on the cake. What they do show is that inexperienced troops may be cheap, but they are no match when up against veterans….well, that and rolling all those “1s” 😂

Thank you. Yes the 8 Rad I believe I called a 222 at one point, but that was just a slip as I wasn’t concentrating on the vehicle… trying to film and work out the next move sometimes gets tricky! I too was surprised that Michael didn’t push forward with his tanks, they could’ve picked off mine if a little closer… but I think he was worried about loosing them, which helped me! Plenty more to come so thank you again for your comments and positive feedback 👍🏻

Thank you 👍🏻

@@longstreet0163 thank you for the feedback and the comments, glad you enjoyed it… we are somewhat limited but the figures and vehicles we have inout collections, but hopefully that didn’t ruin it too much for you 👍🏻😉🤞🏻 Thanks again

​@theministryofminiatures It didn't spoil it at all, I enjoyed it. I also learned more about this game from you guys than from anywhere else. I informed you of the discrepancy because you mentioned that someone would do so in the comments. Just trying to help.

Lol, that made me smile, both for the kind words, but also about leaving the comment 👍🏻😂

Great to hear your progressing your 15mm army 👍🏻 Army order is 2nd edition if that helps?

@@theministryofminiatures Yes, we do use 2nd edition, but I just don't see army orders. Page number? This might be more of a George question, but I am curious if the HC army list doesn't give the imitation legion pilum. The lists I've consulted, do....

@@grantforsythe479the army order is general advance, in my Punic wars book it’s page 104, but that might be different in the main rule book. It is the main commander who issues the order if passing an order test, and no other commander can give an order… this is after any initiative moves. George wrote the lists so I will ask him to comment on the pilum question 👍🏻

@@theministryofminiatures Thanks--I don't have the Punic wars book, so that explains it!

Hi, George here. The army order is actually called General Advance and is on page 136. The imitation Roman Legion do NOT have the Pilum special rule in the Hail Caesar Biblical & Classical army list book. They have a short range of 3 and are described as being armed with Spear/Javelin. If you want to give it to them go ahead it does not seem unreasonable to me.

Lol, I know… but it does fit with history… not sure how long the German army can keep winning, especially towards the end of Stalingrad.

Thank you! Glad you are enjoying the campaign 👍🏻

Hi, thanks… it was a tough game, but great to play. The T28’s are by Mad Bob’s Miniatures, reasonably priced and very nice models!

Thank you, glad you are enjoying the campaign, we have some new ideas for some Stalingrad battles, and have started pulling together some scenery for the final battles in Berlin! Thanks again for the positive feedback 👍🏻

Thank you, and yes the Osprey book enables us to check some of the history behind the battles and for us to work out scenarios and armies etc. Thanks 👍🏻

Thanks, we are fairly new to Hail Caesar so are still learning the rules and how different units work… but enjoying the journey 👍🏻 Thanks for the advice, much appreciated.

@theministryofminiatures Welcome and as I said, great video. We’ve played a fair bit now but still miss things, we also get confused with Black Powder sometimes. Other mistakes we’ve made: not moving the full distance for an evade (it’s not up to 1, 2, or 3 it’s the full move) and for ages were playing flank attacks wrong too, if hit front AND side it’s two fights not one plus a support. Still, we’re getting there.

Thank you 🙏 Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

Thank you, it is always nice to get positive feedback, helps know that we are doing something right 👍🏻 We have more videos on the way, just busy period with everyone in the group having other commitments and life getting in the way… …but we will get putting out what we can - thanks again 👍🏻

No, not normally… but this is a specialist sniper in the German list that if you pay extra for, he has the chance to take two shots at the same target. That may well change with 3rd Edition Bolt Action though!

@@theministryofminiatures where does it say about that sniper?. Rules or the armies book? I've never seen anything about that. Is it unique to a certain list build? If so which?

The sniper is a Gewehr 43 Sniper Team. He is from Italy tough gut, but can be in a generic platoon.

@@theministryofminiatures I've never seen that option when using reinforced platoon lists.

We use easy army quite a lot… Rick has used the sniper a few times, we are both happy that generally (but not always) we are fairly liberal with the army list, in this instance it adds a little bit of fun to the list 👍🏻 I think v3 will nerf the snipers a fair bit, so we are making the most of them!

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it, we did… now gearing up for 3rd edition 👍🏻

Hi the mat is from Gale Force 9. We have a great selection of mats, but by far the bast value and versatile are the Geek Villain mats. I always try to get mats that can be used in different areas, so get the bast value for money… either of those Geek villain mats would work well as you will likely add scenery on to it too 👍🏻

Thanks, and yes they are! Fat Franks roads are reasonably priced and very versatile, would definitely recommend 👍🏻

They are! The have some of those and some streams! Top stuff!

@CharlesMcCall-nf9xq good stuff 👍🏻 I might check out the stream

Thank you, we had fun playing it and it was pretty close right up to the end. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the comment 👍🏻

Thank you, was great to play on too!

Thanks! We had a laugh and enjoyed the battle too, glad you enjoyed it too.

What an amazing story, good luck with your travels and I hope your family are proud 👍🏻 you must be very excited to have the privilege. Well done and safe journey.

I know that feeling! Thanks for the positive feedback 👍🏻

Thanks, it’s great to hear positive feedback. The figures are mainly from Peter Pig, 15mm. Thanks

Thank you, always good to hear positive feedback, helps us know people enjoy what we do and gives us the motivation to keep doing the videos 👍🏻

@@darrenpenson2930 cheers 👍🏻 We are looking forward to version 3 and getting our armies in order now as it won’t be long until we get the new version released!

@theministryofminiatures yep same here. Looking forward to v3 just need the heat to go away so I can paint

Glad you enjoyed it, we definitely did 😉🤣 The buildings are from Sarissa Precision and Micro Art Studio, we generally go for a mix of manufacturers 👍🏻

Thanks for the comment, much appreciated 👍🏻 I know George has put an update on another comment in this video with the list of manufacturers, hope this helps? Thanks again

@@rellian_minis thank you and glad you enjoyed it, the figures are from Peter Pig, George has done a great job with them… we do like 15mm so we can get the extra figures on the table!

Thank you! We have several planned for the near future, and we are both looking forward to getting some more games in 👍🏻 Thanks again

Thank you 🙏 it is always good to receive positive feedback and helps us know we are doing something right. We do of course have all sort of plans… big and small 😂 Thanks again

Thanks the board and figures belong to Michael, those figures are Hiwis who were recruited from lesser nations to fight alongside the Germans. These are conversations from winter germans to make inexperienced troops for the front. Thanks again and glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

@@theministryofminiatures Ahh ok. I looked up Hee Wees and all I got was Pee Wee Herman 😂

@dwelleratthedowns1974 that made me laugh! That’s probably a whole different story to read!

Thank you 🙏 appreciate the comment 👍🏻

Thank you for the comment, I will ask George to update on the figures as they are all his 👍🏻

I want to know too!

Hi. Glad you enjoyed the video. Most of the Pontic troops are from Forged in Battle. The cataphracts are Xyston. The Romans are mostly Blue Moon. One Roman Division (smaller shields) from Forged in Battle. The Roman skirmishers are mostly Xyston. If you want more specific info just ask. 😊

@G4George thanks mate 👍🏻

@@G4George cheers mate, lovely armies!

Thank you, your comment is very much appreciated 👍🏻 This is only our third game so still getting to grips with the rules… but we are really enjoying the game. We are also painting up some Epic Hail Caesar, just not as fast as you so hopefully we will be able to get some epic games up soon. Thanks again

I missed this in the rules! That opens up some strats for sure

@TabletopCollective 👍🏻

Battle report this weekend!

@@kiwigamer8925 the battle report is up! Follow the link

Thank you, we had a great time, glad you enjoyed it.

Indeed, there is plenty of scope, although the number of tanks are quite limited so I would imagine that they will release a supplement at some point.

@@smoothbrush4722 yes indeed these are fantastic and I will definitely be investing in more of their vehicles 👍🏻

Thanks for the great comment… Rick German army is nicely constructed and painted with some great support. We are waiting to see what happens with the new rules as well!

Thanks glad you enjoyed the game. It’s only our second game so we are still getting to grips with the rules. Funny enough we discussed the pila/javelin and realised (too late) that this was the case… future battles will include this! We also agreed that as long as the units were very close they could support, it just felt better, so we are glad we’re not the only ones! Thanks again for the suggestion and feedback really appreciate it.

Yes George has been busy and done an excellent job on them… he is no working on the Carthaginian’s so hopefully we can use them for a battle soon 👍🏻

Thanks 👍🏻 Do you like what we did with the Patreon names 😂 makes them fit the era, and also good fun to replace! Glad you are enjoying the games there are plenty more to come, including epic and we will also be revisiting Black Powder as well 👌🏻

@@theministryofminiatures The names were a great addition! Poor ol'Summervillius being killed did make me chuckle somewhat haha..he always ends up dying or coming close to it (like the previous BA campaign battle being shot by an 88) 😂. Sounds great, looking forward to it, especially the Epic 😎

@@TheGreyWolf94yes, that was funny with the 88. 😂

Thank you!

Thank you, George in our group has been working hard to get them painted, once the rest is done we will be able to get them on the table for a battle report 👍🏻

There are several on the video, Warlord sell the pre painted ones, heres a link: collabs.shop/13qixq Some of the others are Sarissa Italerari

@@theministryofminiatures Thank you :)

Thank you, it’s always good to have positive feedback. Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

Interesting… when I mentioned this to George today, he didn’t say no! He is the one who makes all the cool trees and hedges, so he is thinking about it👍🏻

@@theministryofminiatures Thanks. I’m really enjoying your videos and I’m finding all the terrains and models so inspiring.

@@gardensbytheminute2668 thank you it is very much appreciated 👍🏻
