Yet another great video thanks - keep them coming! Hope you don't mind me asking but one question on the rules - at 17:13 should there be a further -1 modify to the break test for taking artillery casualties or have I misunderstood this (which is quite probable!). Thanks

We played some games when it first came out and enjoyed them. putting the ships together and painting them was a different matter! We need to get some games in again.

I enjoyed watching that. Thanks for sharing. 👍

Very nice. Cheers to you

Hopefully audio better on this version

Heya RSD, great vid! I am definitely gonna dip my toes into Epic ACW soon because of video series like yours. I was going to ask about free moves for some of those obstinantly stationary regiments, but I realized after rereading the rules that since they were in line compared to column that they couldnt. Anyway, keep up the great Epic content!

I liked that you showed every roll. Also, color-coded dice clarified who was who and which side was rolling.

Excellent units. Looking forward to the next battle. Subbed.

Great game.

Why is a confederate ironclad shooting at a confederate fort?

I ended up getting into Epic ACW after watching your videos - now i'm sitting here hoping i can resist the urge to buy some Saxons....

Beautiful work on the Vikings and Saxons. This is so cool, I am in the process of building the same Starter sets. Keep at it! 👍👍

Epic and bloody! Superb terrain and minis for a minor French victory!👍👍

Love how even with just a few units (ok 8 plus cannon, not so few) you can still have a fun game.

Thanks Chris, interesting scenario👍

Can a shaken Unit support?

I really want to begin doing this, will be looking to your videos as an example!

Always a great watch! Many Thanks Chris👍

Excellent video series! Just started Epic ACW and this series has been really helpful. Your battle reports also tipped the balance to ACW for us, they are excellent :)

Thanks so much for this video series. Very helpful for new players and a good introduction to the rules that helps me know what's going on when I'm watching some of the battle reports

A beautiful and intense looking game, impressive lines of battle!

Honestly you’re inspiring me to play this game! Really like how easy you make it to follow and pick up the rules. Keep up the good work! Oh Are all the miniatures from warlord games range?

do you still need shield wall to play these armies even with 2.0 rulebook?

These videos are a real help. Thanks for posting!

Dude your battle reports are incredible ! I have always toyed with the idea of getting into wargaming and over the past few years, black powder epic scale has been what I wanted to do. I got a battle in a box set and painted a few union and confederate regiments before falling away from it. I was on Holiday last week and found your videos and in the 4 days I've been back I have 8 regiments of each good to go along with brigade commanders. Artillery and terrain will be next and planning a game for Tuesday. All thanks to your videos ! Keep up the good work and thanks for the inspiration ! Well done mate !

Nice battle report.

Only difference we use is NOT halving command ranges. Because the unit frontage and base sizes remain the same, we found that halved command ranges really skewed towards more units getting penalties to command. Didn't suit the feel of ADCs running around to nearby units giving orders.

Well done

Nice one. I particularly like the 'seen the elephant dynamic'. I think Cornwell describes it well in his Civil War novels when he explains that the war was like the wonder of an elephant - when you hadn't seen it, it was an exotic exciting mystery; once you had seen one, you knew the score. Great video mate.

Thank you.

Impressive set up!

I’ve been thinking about starting a farm house attack diorama field for battles and I also wanted l to say this was amazing to watch

this was amazing

Lovely jubbly! Thanks for sharing

Great battle report! I recently finished painting Roman legionaries and Macedonian phalanxes. I hope to play something similar to the video.

Excellent, look forward to more. Nice job with the miniatures!

Such a great pleasure to look at your splendid armies...Great looking game!👍👍

Thanks so much for posting this video! These are two forces in ACW I haven’t played yet because I didn’t quite understand how they worked but this helped tremendously and I can’t wait to get more accurate battles on the tabletop

Steve Earle does a great song about confederate general at Wilson creek

Nice battle report! Yes more Hail Ceasar

Thanks, love your black powder videos! I was wondering, where did you find/acquire your orange disrupted blast tokens and your black shaken tokens?

I’m just getting into the hobby and your video is a great help to me. Thank you so much for your information and time. 9:49pm

Sweet setup and terrain. I bought the Civil war starter box back when they released the Epic Scale (the initial first Starter Set box). Have not played a single game yet though. Its a sub from me.

excellent, a big help to newbies like myself. many thanks.

Great and very useful video! A question: You don't follow the exact deployment suggestions from the booklet. For instance, for the Union first brigade they suggested 3 regiments of infantry. Is there a special reason for that? Thanks. Paolo

The ranges you mention sounds more like a 28mm game instead of an Epic scale game, which is why halving the ranges works so well.

really useful video, i'm just starting out with the ACW epic range. Looking forward to future videos !! thanks

Nice conversion with measuremnets. The 'rulers' you use - where are they from?

Thanks for sharing! Black Powder is not a good ruleset to play ACW. My go to ruleset is With Hot Lead and Cold Steel

I like your idea of having ranges. I still haven't played a game of Warlord's ACW but when I do, I think I'll follow your lead on the ranges. I look forward to seeing your other "epic" videos.
