Death of the Red Baron Wargame

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 ก.ค. 2024
- In this season finale, 10 players engage in a multi-table wargame to recreate the events of April 21, 1918--the last flight of the Red Baron. Before the game, Tom and Tony unpack some enduring myths about Manfred von Richthofen's legendary career and visit the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum in Washington DC.
Then we head to the tabletop and allow two teams of players to plan missions across four sectors of the Somme River valley for a series of eight engagements. We'll be using "Wings of Glory" from Ares Games to play the scenario. Will Richthofen and his Flying Circus survive to fight another day, or will Captain Roy Brown and the RAF repeat history?
Next week we will review "Wings of Glory" in detail and explore the rules thoroughly. As a part of this episode, we're giving away a free starter rule box for the game! On April 10th we'll pick a random comment on this video. All you have to do is tell us your favorite WW1 aircraft in the comments below to be eligible! (Guys at our club will pay out of pocket to ship this anywhere in the USA. If our random winner is outside the USA, we may ask you to help cover some of the shipping cost. Just FYI.)
A huge THANK YOU to Nick Podehl, an award winning audio book narrator, for his shared love of military history and his narration in this episode. If you're in the market for a talented voice actor, please visit Nick's website at nickpodehl.com

"I Didn't Die"
She's savage lol
Not bloody _yet,_ Desertress...
@seand.g423 she didn't desert, she got lost on the way to the battle.
Oh how nice!
A “help me” sign! Written backwards it’s “empleh” and that nearly sounds like “empire” because she is so immersed into the game that she holds a sign proclaiming her loyalty to the German Empire!!
A true war hero !
I thought becoming a pilot in the "Imperial German Air Service" was voluntary. Helena would seem to belie that...
Oh you know, the occasional conscript here or there....
Dave Franklin as someone who is the dad of a similarly aged teenage daughter, I salute her and the persuasive powers of her dad!
Love seeing women fighting the wargame. Hilarious when the young girl holds up the sign "HELP ME"!
I guess she does not speak German?
WINNER: On April 10th we have a winner--"Jordan Crump." Please email us at littlewarstv@gmail.com so we can send you this Wings of Glory boxed set!
PRODUCTION NEWS: Filming on our second season--including this episode--concluded months ago. Our club has been closed since the COVID-19 pandemic and we encourage all fellow gamers to stay safe. We hope to provide an update in April with how the current shutdown may impact the future of this channel.
Thank you for all of your great vids during Season 2. Stay safe, guys, and best wishes for Season 3 when we come out the other side of the current situation!
Thank you so much y'all. This chanel coupled with WWII in Real Time are helping make history interesting to my children.
@@Sgt.Kilrain WW2 In Real Time is an AWESOME channel. Love watching that.
I think some videos dealing with solo play, or remote campaign play/PBEM is appropos.
Thankyou from the UK. Hopefully Season 3 will be fine as your channel is a genuine pleasure. Take care!
This was the funniest battle I've ever seen from Little Wars TV. Keep up the good work and humor.
you all prolly dont care at all but does someone know a method to log back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly lost my login password. I love any tricks you can give me.
@Zachariah Marcellus Instablaster ;)
@Griffin Cody thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Griffin Cody It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my account !
@Zachariah Marcellus no problem :D
I’ve visited his crash site on the Somme where he was brought down by Australian ground fire. It’s a special site. His flying gloves from that day are on display at the Australian War Memorial.
I haven’t been there but I’ve seen pictures. You’re so lucky you got to go!
"where he was brought down by Australian ground fire"
sure sure
@@uncletimo6059 Well, we've got as much a claim as anyone else has. And we have his gloves and boots.
ANZAC troops are also responsible for the capture of 'Mephisto', which is now the only surviving A7V tank in the world. It's in the Queensland Museum.
@@uncletimo6059- Entry wounds clearly suggest ground fire and extent of injuries indicate flying time after being shot...putting him over Australian lines at the time. So suck it, Festerhead.
Uncle Timo that’s what the memorial at the crash site says.
I can agree with Helena when some of my friends at my LGS say, "Wanna try out this new game?"
The same feels man, the same feels
I asked my friends (btw I’m a freshman in Highschool) and none of them know about this channel I was able to get 3 out of the five friends to get into it and I now finally have someone to play my war strategy games with!
P.S. My favorite WWI fighter plane is definitely the British Sopwith Camel I even have a whole bunch of legos on the way to make a homemade set with it.
Cool man im a freshmen as well but sadly most my friends are into 40k and d&d not interested in history like me so i only play against my family wich gets old fast
Love the pipe cleaner damage markers!!
I have a civil war regimental rule set called Across a Deadly Field where when you lose a figure or an artillery section, you place a piece of pipe cleaner on the base. There has also been situations where an enemy regiment rolled high enough and an entire stand is removed.
"I didn't die" quote of the day... :-)
This was great, what a way to end the season. You guys are awesome. My favorite WW1 plane is def your cardboard mockup that had me rolling on the floor EVERY TIME you used it! Truly an enjoyable video, especially now when youtube content is keeping many of us from going mad. Thank you so much for all your hard work on the channel. Peace and stay safe.
Thanks, John. We had a lot of fun squeezing club members into that cardboard death-trap. There are photos showing how we built it on our website under the "Free Stuff" section.
Great video everyone! I have been waiting fort this one. Thanks for letting me be a part of yet another great video. Favorite plane will have to be the Staaken. Love the big bombers!
Thank YOU for being the “voice” of our bookend episodes! A wonderful change of pace from hearing Greg and Steve prattling on.
One thing to add- all pilots were cold-blooded when it came to shooting. Rickenbacker, Bell, etc., all aimed for the pilot when possible.
The Fokker E- series has always been my favorite. Single wing, agile, early war and ahead of its time. Immelman's first warbird, too.
Nice looking miniatures you've got there, too
I just have to love the Royal Factory Aircraft S.E.5. Something about all the effort that went into the sliding reloading mechanism so they could keep the MG mounted on the top of the plane just gets me.
Absolutely love the channel! The historical info and serious discussion is great and the campy acting is awesome. Please keep them coming!
Great finale. One of the most entertaining episodes you guys have done in a while. When I saw the trailer last week I hypothesized that it'd be using Wings of War/Glory. I've always found the movement cards to be a little too fiddly for me, but after seeing such an awesome campaign idea played out I'm rethinking giving it a shot. Thanks for the content and stay safe!
Thank you very much for another season. Such a high standard! This episode was really fun. I love wings of glory, it is indeed a game for every kind of player (even those that do not like wargames) so, great season finale. Happe to see new faces!
I have to go with the "Zeppelin-Staaken R-Serie" the biggest plane of ww1. It had a range of 800 km, a speed of max 130 km/h and a maximum of 2000kg of bombs. And the looks of it is also really cool. By the way, really good video 👍
Thanks for an awesome finale and providing a generally all-round enjoyable series. I have only started my adventure into historical wargaming over the last 12 or so months, and this has been a series that has regularly inspired me in my push, both in considering rulesets and eras to explore further. Hope to continue seeing them for a while to come and that you will be able to emerge the other side of Covid-19 producing more great content.
As for my favourite WW1 aircraft, I find it hard to go past the Sopwith Camels. One of my first forays into learning about WW1 was some books by Peter Fitzsimons centered around the Australian Involvement in WW1, and in particular, during the book 'Victory at Villers-Brettonoux' the Camels feature heavily, so they are a big part of my early discovery of the war. The Focker Dr.1 would be a close second.
Excellent again, a wonderful mixture of history and wargaming - you guys are legends, keep up the good work when you can get back together. I have always had a soft spot for the Albatross DIII I have modelled it a few times in one of the many colourful paint schemes. Your cardboard mock-up made me laugh, and reminded me of two similar ones I made for a play, they were great fun and generated much hilarity!
Wonderfully played table top war gamming!!!
It's great to see younger people playing these games!!
Great Work!!!
Thanks for sharing.
Just found this channel, and I'm so happy I did! I love history, and watching you guys play out the "What-if's" is great, as well as all the humor. Keep it up!
By the way, gotta go with the Sopwith Camel. It was the first WW1 plane I was introduced to as a kid, thanks to Microsoft Flight Simulator '98.
I never thought Wargaming WW1 aerial battles could look like so much fun. This channel is great!
Great batreps and awesoe video editing. You definitely stepped up your game with this one
Thank you for a fantastic season 2. I can't wait to see what you bring for season 3!
Kudos to Helena! Absolutely loved the “Help Me” sign! Thanks for spending time with your pops.
The Sikorsky Ilya Muromets - The Germans only managed to destroy only one of these bombers throughout the entire war
One of your best episodes in a while! The biplane mockup got me every time. Favorite plane is the Sopwith Camel for sure!
14:30 now that’s a beauty shot!!
Great video. You guys have too much fun. I love that even though your games are competitive, your club is cooperative.
Astonishing that a wargame so simple can simulate so accurately, great video
The Goth G.V is definitely my favorite plane of World War 1. When it was used to raid Britain, it gave the British a reason to create an Air Force for home defense and may have been one of the reasons why the British were so successful during the Battle of Britain during World War II
The earlier Zeppelin scourge from 1915 onwards also played a part in the formation of the home defence squadrons. It had some notable successes. in particular the shooting down of SL 11 by William Leefe Robinson V.C on the 2/3 September 1916.
I'd just like to say I really appreciate that you all make these so much fun, it's really nice to see a competitive yet fun atmosphere. Keep up the good work!
Nice to hear, Christian! Thank you. We have a blast playing these big club games.
This was an incredible video, the cockpit skits were a great addition to the heated dogfights. My favorite WW1 aircraft would be the Gotha G.IV, just a big bomber with a chicken coop on top for a gunner.
The most beautiful of the aircraft of WW1, the Albatross Dlll. And also the craft the Baron did very many of his kills in. Lovely little campaign. Thank you looked like great fun.
My favorite plane is the Bristol Type 22. I love the look and the extra seat that allows for a tail gunner. The Bristol was also a good staple plane for the time peroid.
Best part of the whole video - “Help me”. Classic. 🤣
The Sopwith Camel has to be one of my favorite ww1 aircrafts, was even the aircraft of choice in the Flight Sim, Red Baron 3D! Awesome video by the way!
You guys deserve so many more subscribes and viewers! Always super high quality and hilarious content. Keep it up boys and (now also) girls!
Best video yet. Everyone seemed to have a great time. Really enjoyed it. My favorite WWI aircraft is the Sopwith Camel.
Crazy how about 7 months before the war’s end, the baron went down. Imagine the autobiography from him if he didn’t go down!
Once again, awesome work folks.
Excellent season ender guys, and wonderfully entertaining season overall. Great, great stuff!
by the way at "Die Tommy die!" I snarfed my coffee I laughed so hard.
I'm happy to see one of my favorite games being played on your channel. I contracted the WoG mini bug when the game first hit the shelves at my LGS back when it was WoW. Of all the aircraft minis, I have to say that my favorite would be the Albatross D.Va, followed closely by the Pfalz D.IIIa, the Fokker Dr.I and the SPAD XIIca.
Great to see an air wargame. The sector allocations were really well thought out. I think I'd choose the Sopwith Pup.
Awesome video and thanks for keeping our spirits up. And my favorite plane is the Sopwith Camel.
Good afternoon chaps. It was spiffing to see you all mixing it with the Hun. Wizard prangs eh what? Dashed good show! Gave them a proper thrashing.
My favourite kite of the first show was without doubt the beautiful Sopwith Pup. So much more elegant than the more powerful and better armed Camel.
Keep up the good work and thanks for all you do.
I have always had a special place in my heart for the Sopwith Camel-only partly because of Snoopy
What a great video! Thanks so much for the laughs and the entertaining game play. Favourite WW1 aircraft? The Pfalz D.IIIa.
Good game(s)! You guys had a blast playing the air battles...the "cockpit view" Is very funny, nice idea!
This was one of my favorite shows you've done. First time it was a game system that I've actually played too (though when I was playing it, it was still the old version, 'Wings of War'.) Loved the narration too. I can't believe you got Nick Podehl! Not that the regular commentary isn't good, but I certainly hope he'll be back again sometime. And I echo others' sentiments that it was great seeing the ladies in the thick of the fight.
Nick was very gracious in his willingness to help as a fellow tabletop wargamer. He also did the narration for our Gettysburg episode last summer!
Personal favorite plane. Spad S. XIII flown and mastered by Eddie Rickenbacker of the 94th Aero Squadron. Absolutely love the channel, trying to get into wargame and your videos serve as a great way to get introduced. Keep up the amazing work!!
Since the Y-Wing of Gold Squadron isn’t an option (Nice one Steve), my vote is for CPT Eddie Rickenbacker’s Spad XIII of the 94th Aero Squadron.
Another great video - excellent ’dramatic’ narration. Favorite WWI plane was the American made Curtis-JN ’Jenny’ biplane.
Great show! Loved the sound effects in the video, but the multi game campaign with different objectives puts a wonderful feeling to a day over the trenches. My favorite aircraft in W.W. I is the Albratross dV, the work horse of the German Imperial Air Force. For the Allies, gotta go with the homeland hero, Capt. Eddie and the Nieuport 28.
My dogs would insist that the Sopwith Camel was a most worthy aeroplane. This was such fun to watch. Thanks to all of the Little Wars crew!
I like the Handles Page Type O. Something about the bomber is just really interesting to me.
This video was fantastic by the way! Hope the club is all safe and I can’t wait to see you guys playing again! Stay healthy!
I love what you did with the flying stands! As for favorite planes, I'll go with the Nieuport 28.
Absolutely awesome, and although biased because air combat this was one of your best if not THE BEST. Love the showcase of the Wings of Glory :)
I'm RFC/RAF ww1 fanboy so the S.E.5a is, and without any shadow of doubt, the best machine to take to the air during the conflict, and with pilots to boot because the pilot makes the best machine a legendary machine.
The Sopwith Camel, one of the greatest period fighters of all time. Downed more enemy fighters than any other plane.
You guys are fantastic, love the videos and the enthusiasm that goes into it.
York isn’t terribly far from Baltimore, so if you guys are ever in town or need an extra hand, let me know!
What a fun video. I remember a year, where most of my high school friends and I played an extended campaign using TSRs Dawn Patrol. It became a weekend event of counter pushing and drinking copious amounts of moosehead beer (that was exotic in the day). I have to say, I fell in love with the Albatros D.III. playing that game, and reluctantly took the Camel, if forced playing the other side.
Great video, guys. I really like your channel and am so glad I found it. My favorite airplane of the war is the Spad S.XIII.
You brought the whole family in! That was very enjoyable to watch, excellent format thanks.
My favorite ww1 fighter was the Nieuport 11
Lewis gun on the wing.
Great video. My favorite WW I airplane is the Fokker D VII. I got a plastic toy set of planes when I was very young. I “flew” the Fokker D VII all the time. My grandpa told me everything he could about that plane. It holds a special place for me.
Oh man! I didn’t expect the “in cockpit” scenes XD
So enjoyable to watch! I love you guys!
Hah, thanks! We had a lot of fun figuring out how to do the cockpit scenes with our...limited VFX abilities.
@@LittleWarsTV Wait that was VFX? You don't own a biplane? I feel deceived.
Just great. Your best one yet I think!
A very enjoyable video, and a great finish to the season. Looking forward to season three :-)
Excellent episode and thanks for another great series. Take care through the current 'unfortunate circumstances' and see you all on the other side. Favourite plane is the SE5a. Thanks.
Your videos are consistently improving well done. My personal favourite WWI plane was the Sopwith Triplane.
Thanks! It's fun to look back at some of the older videos on the channel and see how they've evolved as our amateur editing skills improve.
This was pretty exciting game play folks! Its always nice to get a lot of people...even family involved with your hobby. I've never played "Wings of Glory". I've grown up playing the old school "Blue Max" using 1:72 scale models and a ol' Battle Masters game mat. By the appearance it would seem both systems have similar concepts; like maneuver selection, combat chits/cards, and tracking damage..I'm sure there are other differences. I would be intersted in taking the jump into a new system. The big different is you're not confined to a hexagon like BM. Multi-player gaming seems to work well...not sure how long in real time it would take to activate multiple aircraft for one player. So you guys also shown your hand for the flight stands...that has to be a "How-to" video. Favorite aircraft of WWI, well there are a lot to choose from like the Albatros D,Va, the S.E.5A, Fokker DVIIf or even the Bristol F.2B; but my favorite due its performance and sleek look has to be the Hannover CL.II. Take care and looking forward to the next video. Oh...hey where's Greg?
Great video! Never played Wings of Glory, but it looks like a blast.
Favorite aircraft - Nieuport 11, bringing the Fokker Scourge to an end.
Matt
SPAD S.XIII ! Excellent work, I look forward to every new video!
Albatros DIII, or even the DV. Great looking plane, first real nod to aerodynamics, and an amazing selection of liveries.
Another great educational and entertaining video. I'm partial to the DFW C.V. Good looking plane.
I found your channel very recently and I’ve been amazed by every single video, your channel has actually inspired me to buy my own set of miniatures of the napoleonic era for Black Powder using the money i received for my 15th Birthday. I am super excited to assemble and paint these miniatures, and once i’m done i’m headed straight for the battlefields!
That is fantastic to hear! Your first miniatures--very exciting! Congrats and welcome to the hobby!
Great game play! Thanks for the vid! I was always a fan of the Albatross.
Excellent episode!
Maybe your best one yet!
Also... The Spad XII is my favourite...
My favorite WW1 plane is the Sopwith Camel. We have made a wargame like this from paper and cardboard since we don't have miniatures. We really like watching your vidoes and they give us great ideas about what battles we should do. Thank you for posting videos.
Great game, growing up in Germany I was acutely aware of the "Rote Baron." I still own a copy of TSR's "Dawn Patrol". Also, thank you for including the ladies - way under represented in our hobby! =)
Great video as always. This is a great game and tons of fun with a lot of players.
I don't know a ton about the various aircraft used in WWI, but when playing this game, I do like the Sopwith Camel.
Albatross DIII was my favorite WWI Aircraft. The Spadau syncronized machineguns mounted over the fuselage design with the propeller spinner air cap appeared to permit the aircraft to slice through the air rather than the box front of the early Allied aircraft. All in all a well designed fighter aitcraft. Just a beautiful aircraft.
Great game. Love the humor, and glad to see the two ladies participate.
My aircraft; Airco DH-9...
Awesome video guys! my favorite aircraft of WWI has always been the whole albatros line, pareticularly the D.III in fact. imo best looking plane of the war.
I love the Hanriot HD.1
Being from belgium, it's the airplane Willy "Blue Devil" Coppens (the best belgian ace in ww1) used and funny enough he is the best balloon hunter of WW1 to my knowledge ;)
I painted his plane as one of my first model kits almost 25 years ago.
Nice video guys, see you next season !
Loved the video. The game looks very easy to get into. My personal favorite WWI Fighter was the Curtiss JN-4 Jenny. Not the deadliest and not even originally designed as a fighter it was built in large numbers and became the mainstay of civilian aviation in the post war US. Many young people got their first taste of flying with them.
this is so cool guys, really enjoy your content.
S.E.5 - Awesome video, thank you!
Yet again, another inspiring video from Little Wars TV. My aircraft of choice from World War 1 would be a Sopwith Dragon.
Once again an awesome Game Day. Also love the NASM. Local secret - Udvar Hazy near Dulles charges $15 for parking but if you go in the last hour (after 4pm) parking is FREE! We live close enough the boys & I will swing thru when working on model aircraft for some 1:1 scale painting guides!
A most enjoyable foray into WW1. Great production, lots of fun. Perhaps one day you'll do one with the bigger Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutters or Breget? See what rear gunners can do. In the interim, stay safe.
love watching your videos would love to get into what you guys do.
The most spiffing of jolly good aircraft, is without double the Sopwith Camel, its a splendid looker and a top notch ride.
I really like the telescopic stand ! Fav WW1 aircraft probably the Albatros D1, with the Sopwith Camel a close second.
I love the cutscenes lol, laughed a lot. I love the models too, the bombers are especially beautiful.
I love the sleek look of the Albatross D III.
Great content. I like the Sopwith Snipe
My favorite plane of ww1 is Lohner type AA because it looks funny and i´m quite sad it never entered a production. I wish you all good health and keep up the good work .
