I'd love to see the mini being deployed as a highland platoon piper.

Somewhere, out there, is a WW1 leather and goggle flight helmet that will be just perfect. Love the enthusiasm for kitbashing. Best part of the hobby. Madrobot has some heads like this that may work. Not sure if the scale will be to your liking.

Another good source would be the Wargames Atlantic German Sentries. They have a pair of arms for "surrendering," that would work really well.

Its pretty sad that they got nerfed this hard. They look amazing nonetheless!

Good job🎉

Not sure how this will be the death of dakka tanks, all tanks got equally nerfed. If anything the dakka tanks will still be exactly in the same spot as they give you the most shots for a vehicle. I’m also willing to bet tanks will go down in points to and when that happens dakka tanks will still be here. Unless they don’t reduce those tanks points wise, but even then it could still be worth it.

RIP LRDG players

Beautiful nature over there! Also an update from warlord themselves. They confirmef that there will be no such things like small team or exceptional damage in v3. Sniperd got a big nerf, so theyre either getting buffed somehow or their pts go down. Now its just a man with a long shooting rifle and an unarmed dude...

The Rise of the Howitzer tank ??

Great Updates! Can't Wait!

I actually wish they didn't tease these rules, its giving me anxiety over my army and making me want to buy loads of minis before i can actually make any good choices

Soo Whats the "cap" then? Do we have to choose certain amount platoons? or can we now mix but with certain dedicated platoon types? Also 'order dice' it used to be 12 standard , how about points.. Whats it going to be now? Yeah i'm curious about the standard tournament/play rules. And as with certain other games im a bit frustrated cuz now I have to change my standard builds and have to buy new stuffs

This is Jeff. I ended up in 2nd place, but only lost out 1st to a different Gurkha list by 4 dice kills. It was a two-day event, and I ended up playing six games overall with about four different lists. Day 1 was a Doubles match, then a Tank Platoon match, and finally a “Slaughterhouse,” without any restrictions. I won all six games I played, over the weekend.

The timing.. are you going to historicon? If so i hope to meet you

An idea for a video topic you could try before the end of 2nd edition, where you discuss the various minor nations (not France or Italy) and, if you were to really take them in a tournament setting, what sort of army list would you try to bring. I do understand that for the Allies that's going to be difficult as since most of them are carbon copies of France, so my suggestion would be to try and avoid making them all similar looking armies if possible (perhaps picking a theme for each army and trying to achieve that theme while still being good enough), or alternatively, explain the reasons for why something different doesn't work or is at least inefficient. And after all of that, which army would you be happy to take to a tournament, one for both the Axis and Allies

Looking forward to this. All very creative lists, would be fun playing against any of them (and most likely bruising!)

Split transport rule, unusual, but lots of targets for multi-launchers.

Captured BARs on the Jager squads

They really need to stop the Flamethrower+vehicle dismount and flame. It's just broken.

I have to say, your english accent has rrally improved over the years!

Just started mine thanks for the very informative vid. You’re right about the parts in the Atlantic sets. But il mix it up at 500 pts. The painting opportunities are endless. Notice you get. Scarfs in there too , so say one unit blue scarfs the other green berets. Each group uses different identifying marks

FYI - After zooming into a picture of the new Starter Boxset, the Greyhound Data card says that MMGs and HMGs have 6 shots. I'm not sure if you had seen that tidbit yet?

I wanna see the Swiss Army, in a what if the Germans invade Switzerland scenario… 😂🤘🏻

SPECULATION: A 'cover save' could be a simple bonus to your base wound value; i.e. a regular 'infiltrator' staying put would be as hard to kill as a vet?

I am pretty sure they changed fanatic from "auto pass morale checks" to "ignore all pins but have to take a morale check." Did I get that change right?

That green nerf is quite significant. Previously Green was always a good thing when free, now its a lot more neutral. I'm not making a value judgement on it aside from that if it costs anything, it isn't worth it (I would expect it to be free).

Hey Bo, I think you missed the nerv of fanatics in your Video. The Rulepage from Warlord says: "If forced to take a moral Check, they ignore negativ moral modifiers from pin marker" This makes fanatic more like stubborn in V2. It's clearly a nerv in comparison.

Have a nice vacation or whatever you are doing in the us. Looking forward to new videos in august. 🤘

rumours, rumours. I got one more: A guy from a large officesupplies company reached out to me and told me that "some well known Danish player" just ordered HUGE amounts of binders, printerInk and paper...... Make of it what you want, but i think somebody is prepping for the first V3 tournament and that "i am going on a trip to the USA" is all nonsense :P

I’ve been through a lot of edition changes with a lot of game systems. There is always an irrational hysteria about incomplete information based on assumptions that something will work just as how it presently works. For example, there’s no reason to assume that flamethrowers will work the same way, so why fret about them at the moment? The main categorical change we know about that I hope they get right is the move to a new platoon structure that allows for more historical/flavorful skew lists. On the face of it, this allows me to make more realistic force organizations, but the Generic Reinforced Platoon was a balanced kind of way to encounter a war game and have a mixture of arms. I hope that in this new way of doing things that they find a way to keep it fun and engaging no matter what people are able to come up with.

Ty for this video. Was looking forward to it

Hungarian Para Assault is a very powerful unit. Grewt list!

With such extreme builds looks like instead of a balancedish game at the moment it's going rock paper scissors. A lot of games will be predestined before they are play. If you open up to structure too much players will abuse it.

It seems REALLY unbalanced and prone to exploitation and list that are not fun to play against.

Hmm, the artillery platoon looks like it can field four multi launchers! I hope they nerf or eliminate multi launchers!

I think you're right about more specific army builds coming into their own with the new system (which I think is good: it reflects order of battle more effectively, and it will create a bit more skew that will likely make some units more or less effective based on what you're against), but being able to build a force that has a lot of flamers and a dakka tank is less likely with this system. We'll probably see people focus on the 1-2 things they really want to do, and Greatest Hits style armies will be less likely.

👻Really looking forward to 3rd Edition, early days but what we have so far all seems to have been received well - Exciting times

The new force structure makes them closer to historical TO&E's.

Similar to your remarks, i really doubt Warlord would have Engineer platoons to allow you to have 7 flamethrowers. That would be ridiculous. No, my suspicion is more that theyll strip the flamethrower option from the current Engineer squads, and with the Engineer rule previewed in the new 2-player starter box, engineer squads will be become more dedicated assault troops, perhaps getting more weapon options for that role. Perhaps they'll get AT grenades by default as well. Which means that each Engineer Platoon would only allow access to 3 flamethrowers, if my assumptions are correct. Also, the changes to shooting will probably help to balance out the changes to army composition, so maybe flamethrowers are getting nerfed as well. Best just to wait and see for September when the rulebook comes out. I will admit that I do like the change on an aesthetic level at least.

Without knowing the points costs, it's impossible to say how this actually works.

It is 5 games, 3 on Sat and 2 on Sun. I wanted to make people have to make hard choices on the lists. Each mission will be locked to a table set up specifically for its mission. Thanks for your review on the lists and missions. You have John N brits that should be Josh N.

Thanks for the Video!

Kudos for getting a video out

'Snap Too' is going to be used a lot more especially with the Artillery / Heavy Weapons Platoons.

Hey there Bo, its Brad here thats my Italian list, just a quick comment, M Bat Italians are minimum squad size if 9 😢, I don't like the Elefantino gun but cos of fun I thought I'd try it out to prove why I don't like it hahaha also really almost no avail tank selection available in the theaters with M Bat Italians... so that's my reason for dakka AB40 and anti tank grenades on units... personally I never use then... cheers for the review 😅 shall be a fun weekend ahead 🎉🎉

Safe travels Bo! I don't think mixed bag forces will be completely gone, I think we will end up with a mixed bag list having a very distinct look and feel because it will force you to balance points across the board. I do agree that lists seems to take a more 'pointed' direction to achieve one or two things really well. and that isn't a bad thing as it looks like you'll have to compromise somewhat. Of course there is a lot yet to find out!

BRO!!! Have a safe flight.

if i had to guess form the new platoon structure the game is going to increase in scale from large platoons to company sized units.

personly i would have taken 1 squad of scouts with rifles and 1 regualr squad of regular tank riders with smg. the scouts can forwad deploy so you get a 7 man rifle sqaud to take advantge of any cover on your side of the table. and the m3 and TR can support the engieeners.

Dying to know how you feel about today's sneak peak of army selection. I saw u posted it but no idea how good contact you except like thus. Pls share your thoughts
