- Small Black Powder Battle Report. My long suffering wife has taken pity on me while in lockdown as i havent had a game in a few weeks and agreed to give it a go. The game is an intro game for her so i have left out some rules and we are using mixed brigades of infantry, cavalry and artillery. To be fair to her, she picked it up really well :)

Great bat rep and a great looking game.
Cheers 👍😀 it played really well
I like seeing the 'action' in this video, like the measuring, the moving of units and the dice throws. Makes it a living game.
Thanks very much 👍 glad you enjoyed it. Tried to find a way to include as much as possible
Great game, a couple of errors. But you two are a hit with me. I can see this catching on big time. Brilliant, love your painting videos and the two battle reports. I’ve been wargaming since I was 9, when my older brother took me to our local youth club, way back in 1976. So I’m 52 now and think your a chip off the old school block. And that my friend, is a compliment 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼❤️
Haha thanks very much 😀👍 im glad you enjoyed it. Ive been wargaming for 25 years now in one form or anither and its great to keep on meeting people in the community.
Haha yeah there were some errors, i like to keep the game going , play it out and then review later for the next game 👍😀
Ive git quite a few videos olannes including more painting amd anither battle report soon so i hope you enjoy those as well 👍
This is what is all about! Beautiful terrain large beautifully painted armies! Love it!
Thanks so much 👍😀 glad you enjoyed it
Absolutely!
Medieval warrior, hey! No gunpowder for you! Hahahaha
@@adamfox1669 ahahahha
Great game. I am very very new to Black powder, only just picking up the rule book and am reading it and videos like yours help me understand what is going on...Thank you for these as they are very informative and points me in the right direction...
Thanks very much, greatly appreciated, if you have any questions about how we've done things or why, just ask away 😁👍
Rewatching this as prep for Under Eagles. This is an absolute classic and the birth of many of the in jokes about Martin's dreadful dice rolling.
The foundation of all the piss taking 😅
Kia Ora from New Zealand guys - really enjoyed that report and the way you presented it. From someone building a Naps army (slowly!) and who has Black Powder and COE, it was very informative. My wife has been helping by painting my French (she is probably better than me!!) so I am hoping she will play like your misses did. Don't worry about Hayley kicking your butt after all ... happy wife = happy life!
Hi, glad you enjoyed the vid 👍😀 im hoping she now has a taste for it as i have boxes and boxes of stuff that i could do with a hand painting haha.
I really enjoy Bkack Powder for its relaxed feel and also the emphasis on orders (although tjat really disnt shine through with the French this time 😁)
Great battle report I love the sped up time laps. Great idea. Well done mate.
Thanks very much 👍😀 seemed to work well as there can be a fair bit of chatting while that goes on
Was a fun watch! Congrats getting your wife to play. I've managed boardgames with my fiance, haven't tried minis games just yet. Thanks for sharing! Let's see some more.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍 she had alot of fun, just had another game, vid for that will be up shortly 😀
Great video guys, loved it. Looked fantastic and was a really good run through of Black Powder at the same time. Well played Hayley. Star of the show!
Thanks buddy 👍 thats awesome 😃 she did well, I'd like to say that it was beginners luck but you should watch some of the other games haha
@@7thson726 Fair play mate she broke the Old Guard on her first game! Not many people can say that. At Waterloo it took the British Foot Guards with 2-1 + odds and a flank attack to break just the Middle Guard (and after they'd rolled over the Brigades in front!!). She's a wargaming Terminator! Seriously, it's been a topic for many years about the lack of ladies in the hobby. Little Wars TV covered it fairly recently. Hayley makes a fine ambassador! I've only just found your channel but keep up the great work. Quality is great, armies look great, filming / editing / voice work / lighting all really good. Really impressed!
Great intro game, and well played Hayley.
Really pleased you enjoyed it, this is where her reputation for wargaming brutality began 😅
Hiya! Just found this on my break! Love the video! Great models and terrain! Will be looking through the rest of your videos!
Brilliant stuff keep it up 😊
Thanks very much, glad you liked it, we had alot of fun making them 👍
You’re lovely wife is a keeper! Any lady who will indulge their fella by playing a Wargame is a gem.
Haha definitely 👍😀 she missed the bit though where im supposed to win 😅
Thank you 🤗
Kind of getting back into wargaming recently after a long time away, including some Napoleonic era stuff (skirmish level, Sharpe Practice, Chosen Men etc) I really like your style of battle report, not too long and very enjoyable, cheers!
Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it 👍😀 its a great period to game
Im new to Black Powder and what an amazing game. Every turn I was wondering who was on top. Thoroughly enjoying these Battle reports and no wonder Tim at Napoleonic gaming recommending checking you out.
Thanks so much, really pleased you enjoy them. Tim is an awesome chap and a great ambassador for the hobby 😁👍
Great game, nice table and figures mate. Looked like you both had fun and man your wife is ruthless at rolling dice. Look forward to another battle 👍😁
You dont know the half of it, she takes no prisoners in any game! 😕
Glad you likes it mate, good chanve to get some figures on the table 👍😃
Vid of usual engaging quality with bonus of partner willing to dive in and be supportive of one's hobby!
Glad you liked it, it was surprising how much she enjoyed it but now it's a main game for the house 👍
I un-tied and removed the restraints off of my neighbors wife so she could watch this. She kept crying but I think she is coming around to the idea of playing this! Great job guys! She never plays games with me anymore so this is really going to be refreshing.
Glad you enjoyed it bud 😅👍
Thank you so much for posting this. My wife was convinced by your video to try a proper miniature wargame. I've been trying to get her to play for 17 years. Our game (F&IW) will be this weekend, so I will post a Batrep of it soon.
Awesome 👍😀 glad it helped, looking forward to seeing the batrep, never too many
@@7thson726 Yes, we had the game yesterday. I have tons of footage to edit through because I used two cameras like you did so it could be several days before I post it. My wife is now wanting to play other miniature wargames. She did point out the lack of female miniatures I have in my wargaming collection. She wants to play Boudica the Celtic queen versus Romans. Thanks again.
@@landsknecht1525 excellent cant wait, a big ancient british army always looks amazing
@@7thson726 th-cam.com/video/fUq2aKsjfcE/w-d-xo.html
Awesooomee!! I love the minis, the terrain, the battle and the great video edition!.
Thanks so much 👍😀 really pleased you like it
@@7thson726 Absolutely! I´m watching all your Black Powder videos now! Lol! Regards!!
A bloody and beautiful batrep, lovely terrain and armies...and impressive Empereur!
Thanks 👍😀 pleased you liked it, another one coming soon, the emperor will have his revenge haha
really enjoyed watching this great filming and a great battle hope you both had fun playing it out
We did, I think my wife enjoyed it alot more than she thought she would. She actually has asked for other games 👍
oh dear looks like we both need to up our game lol. Brave hussars charging the guns. Nice one an aewsome vid buddy.
Haha definitely mate 👍 glad you enjoyed it, going to be aiming to get my revenge soon
Good game and nice report. Thought that it was a bit loopsided at the begining, with the French having both the Guard & curasiers but you wife toke care of that without blinking. I will tjeck out your other videos for sure. 👍🏻👍🏻😀😀
Haha, yeah im more used to how things normally go down for me. My thinking was that the Guard we're off set by the Highlanders and 95th Rifles. As for the heavy cav, they always fail for me haha 😂
Thanks, i hope you enjoy them
Outstanding, your lovely lady clearly has to much game for you, lol, brilliant that was very nice of your wife to play, well done guys, all the best Garry
Thanks mate 👍
great video! seems like a nice ruleset. hats off to your missus for agreeing to play against you! my missus wouldn't even step foot in my games room haha
Its a simple rule set for fast play 👍😀 pleased you enjoyed it mate.
She had a great time, is already asking when can we do another 😂
Really nice report with beautiful figures. Good ploy letting the wife win ;)
Haha yeah i "totally" let her win, just showed her that, she is now demanding a further game 😂
Glad you liked it 😀👍
Love your video very cool and I like how you described everything made it easy to follow Im hoping to get this game and play with my dad because we are both big history geeks 😂 but you definitely got my sub I’m glad your still making these videos keep up the good work!
Cheers mate, welcome to the channel 👍 its a great game. Any questions feel free to get in touch I'll help if i can, i always forget things 😁 there will be more
@@7thson726 Well thank you and I definitely will if I do get confused and can’t wait to see more battles you do!
Another great battle report! Congrats to Haley!
Thanks very much, yeah, she definitely has the lions share of wins 😅
Just came across this, lovely game and being able to share it with your partner is even better! Cheers!!!!
Thanks very much 👍 really appreciate it, pleased you enjoyed it
Great battle report. Thanks for sharing your defeat!
Glad you enjoyed it 👍😀
Fantastic vid, really enjoyed it 😊
Cheers 👍😀 glad you enjoyed it
Delightful. Enjoyed the video.
Great 👍 thanks very much , glad you enjoyed it
Great game.. I've mentioned this to my wife..... she's thinking about it
Thanks 👍😃 go for it, i slightly regret it as i got beaten so bad but she had fun
Mine has agreed if I get Frenchies so she can taunt me
The taunting is continuing here, there will be a reckoning for the French 😁
mentioned it to my wife - total lack of interest
I know this was a while back but here it goes ….
Glad you had fun and so did your wife it would seem. I prefer not to involve my wife in my war gaming but that just for me. We play online games, I am usually the tank and she is the healer and we have a lot of fun doing that. My war gaming is just something that I’ve just been enjoying by myself since I was a kid in the 70’s, it’s my way to relax, feed my passion for history and just get away from everything. Plus she would not be interested in it which I totally get and I am fine with it.
That being said, been watching your older video, you seem to have a great collection
Great battle . Like the way you break down the moves. Love to watch another. You must get revenge lol
Quick question what miniatures did you use for your Swiss line infantry. Cheers
Haha i will be, we've got a plan for the next, something that attravted me to black powder in the first place. Glad you enjoyed it mate 👍😀
The swiss are victrix from the French 1804 - 07 set i just swapped the heads for ones with shakos 😁 i think they came in the box but cant remember now haha
@@7thson726 cheers m8
Top job 👍
And a wargaming wife - what a gem 👍😁😎
Cheers mate 👍 yes I've managed somehow to show the joy in crushing an opponent, just wish it wasn't me haha
Great game mate
Cheers mate 😀👍 pleased you enjoyed it
Hi from canar Islands, what a great videos, really nice channel and greats games, thy to post!!!
Thanks mate 👍 glad you enjoyed it
Cracking bat rep dude, good opportunity to get the missus involved ;) look forward to the next video
Thanks very mich 👍😀 she had a great tine, especially as she won. There will be a follow up soon haha
Enjoyed the BatRep buddy!
Thanks mate 👍😀
hi guys, I'm quite new to this and currently painting 2 armies to play with family . I
find your vids informative and inspiring well done,im hooked.
Welcome aboard 👍 thanks for taking the time to comment, glad you are finding them helpful 😅
Fantastc. Well done.
Cheers 👍😀 glad you liked it
Great bat rep. Well done on letting the mrs win to keep interest lol
Haha cjeers mate 😀👍 glad you enjoyed it. Id like to say i let her win but there is no way i could come ho with thise dice rolls 😉
Good game for you to play and us to watch. I liked your speeded up move idea, I will steal that idea when I next do a solo game. 😬
Haha thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Great game, enjoyed the report
Cheers mate 👍😀
First BP battle report, easy to follow. Thank you (but as a budding french player, please don't get annihilated like that in future ;) )
Thanks, im glad you enjoyed it 👍😀
I will try, we will be having another one soon and i think the Old Guard will be making a come back 😀
Splendid miniatures!
Cheers 😀
Damn, I wish knew someone who I could play black powder against, love seeing it being played though! Kept it up!! 😂
Thanks 👍😀 i was sulrised when she agreed but now sort of regret it haha
Well I am sure many of us are eager to see you redeem yourself!! 😂 would be good to see some more War of the Roses too, I've not had a chance to play either of these game systems, as I say nobody to play 🙄 So maybe at some point you could do a bit of a basic tutorial? Obviously dont feel pressure to do so, but I would really appreciate if you did 😂
@@legendarylordlove2789 were having another game this week, hopefully It'll go better for the french this time. As soon as the restrictions are lifted they'll be more wars of the rises as well 👍😀
Id like to get a bit more confident with the rules but could do some rules vids in the future
Great stuff A++
Cheers mate 👍😀
A very enjoyable game with some amazing dice rolls.The french were totally crushed in the centre.👍🤗🐻🐉
Really pleased you enjoyed it 👍😃 and yes, i think crushed is an understatement haha
Some great looking models there mate.
Thanks very much 👍😀 its nice to see them all on the table
every thing and a great partner ...WELL DONE BUDDYS....
Thanks very much 👍
Great looking game and battle report and awesome looking game.
Glad you liked it mate 👍
This is the perfect sized game for two players. Good battle. I would not award the crossroads to Hailey (unless I wanted her to play again, I suppose...so all in all...a good political move) as it was not occupied by either side (though clearly the British wold take it next turn....however, it is not the next turn yet, and the game has ended). Still a 6 - 3 victory for the British even without the crossroads. Good fun.
Haha yeah we basically said they would take it anyway so that counts, plus as you say i then got her to play again. Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Cool man. My wife likes Black Powder too. Need to ask her to play me 😎
Cheers mate 👍😀 definitely mate, keep it small like this and you to could get a complete stomping like i did 😀
I'm glad to see Hayley did the Hanoverians proud and saw off the Frenchies 👍😁
Haha i couldn't believe the Hussar's pulled off a charge in the first turn! She wants to play again, going to have to bring in the rest if the guard i think 👍😀
@@7thson726 yeah I know ? I normally just get them to ride round in circles , and that's on a good day! 👍😂
I know! Whats worse is that they then charged the battery without a problem 😂😳
Great vid, any chance you could do a ‘how to play vid’?
I have considered it. There is really good set of how to play videos out there by Pancake th-cam.com/video/LhcjedxFqFk/w-d-xo.html which are from 1st edition, not a great deal has changed and these cover the core mechanics brilliantly 👍
Hi
Where did you get all your scenery from ?
Particularly the meadow and cornfields .
Hi, its all a mix, the hedgerows, roads are from Last Valley Terrain, the msf buidlings are Sarissa and i made the meadows and cornfields from Teddy Bear Fur, there are a few tutorials online that i followed, if you google teddy bear fur fields you ahould pick them up 👍
Great video!
My armies are nearly ready for battle nowon a similar sized table, I was wondering whether you reduce the distances from the original black powder rules?
I probably should have picked this up from the video but haven't...
Thanks very much 👍😀
i reduced the movement by 2/3 rds but kept the range the same, seemed to work well
Thank you so much for this. I am planning to get into this type of table top game. Would you recommend a place to shop for the models?
Hi there, really pleased you like the videos. Warlors games make this fame and they have a big range. I would highly recommend Perry Miniatures, probably my favourite 👍
@@7thson726 Ty again. I can't wait to get started.
Like the music I like the fast forward
Thanks 👍
Great battle mate. Now talk her into playing dead mans hand;)
Regards
Anthony
Chders mate, oleased you liked it 👍😀
Dead Mans Hand is definitely on the list, got anither Black Powder planned first, 👍
@09:11 - where did you get that blank piece of paper to write down your brigades? I can't find it in the rule book.
I believe it was formally on the warlord website 👍
One question for the end of the game how does she get 6 points since the other dice is 5 points and for the French side how do you get a 3
6 was for the units destroyed, 5 for the objectives.
If she plays wargames with you, she's the one
Haha she is indeed, only found out about the wargames though after i married her 😀
Nice video - but it illustrates an issue I had with Black Powder and why I sought other rules. At 19 minutes the Old Guard take several hits but manage to roll off almost all of them by saving on 3+. This shows how often "hot dice" on saving/morale rolls during a battle could really tilt a game. I prefer rules like General d'Armee in which units don't get saving rolls - but simply can absorb more hits if they are veteran or elite units. Nevertheless, thanks for the video.
Thanks 👍 i understand what you're saying but its not something that really bothers me. I like those moments in game and find that they become the parts you remember. The morale save and stamina system in black powder doesn't just represent the stacking up of casualties but also the fatigue, sapping of morale and the willingness of the men to fight. I always take the view that when something like that happens it can represent those moments where a unit goes on against the odds, perhaps an officer rushes forward to encourage the men, or another trooper picks up the fallen colours etc. That been said i do like General D'armee as well just dont have the opportunity to play it as much 😁
It was designed with getting a game over in one night with a conclusion . And cover a large window of numerous wars of Musketry warfare , that are a modifiable ruleset . So you win some lose some for it
Отличный ролик, и прекрасный оппонент.
Thanks very mjch, glad you enjoyed it 👍😀
Bro I know this is an old video but does the 28mm scale impact you? Like it's too small a battle?
Hello mate, thanks for commenting. The answer is, no, not really. I can get a whole evening of gaming out of 28mm on a 6 x 4 or 7 x 5 table. I don't gwt to use all my stuff but occasionally we'll play on a 8 x 10. I find it's more to do with the scenario, so long as you keep it clear and simple then it plays absolutely fine, 👍
Where are the tokens from? (Lovely looking armies and terrain, by the way).
Thanks 👍😃 the tokens i ordered through Warbases, they have a custom mdf section
love napoleonics! i prefer DBA-ish horse-musket variant rules. i am running a napoleonic campaign, which is called napoleon's last war, and which re-creates the massive invasion of france AFTER the 100 days. yes indeed, 800 thousand allied troops are on their way in, and it is quite the story. most people have not heard much about these battles. yet, there is a whole war after waterloo. whether he wins or loses there, that is just the start! i use dba-ish/house rules, and the battles can be quite large. if interested, please check me out at hoser house rules. look for the postings with the "napoleon's last war" subtitle. keep gaming!
Thanks for checking it out, I'll have a look at those, great stuff 👍
Never bluff a woman on 6 inches! Great fun. In 25 years of marriage my wife and I have never played a wargame, last game on monopoly almost ended in divorce. Great game to watch
Monopoly is the desteoyer if friendships haha 👍 she took pity in me but ended up really enjoying it, got another planned, i just need to find new dice first 😀
😂
He's been trying to bluff me that for years, no defence when he's holding a tape measure 😂😂😂
@@hayleybrook9600 ROTF
Well done! Makes me eager to play. What changes did you make - looks like reduced moves for a start. I ask as a librarian who plays with kids.
Thanks, one of my favourite games. We just reduced all movement to 2/3 of what they normally are but kept range the same 👍
@@7thson726 I was wondering if you reduced the number of moves too, but maybe I'm just underestimating the size of the table... I'm wary of the multiple-move rules of BP.
@@JBurdoo nah we still did up to 3 moves in the normal way 👍
We're do u get all you're terrain from like grass
I make the long grass pieces myself from teddy bear fur. The buildings are kits from Sarissa and the rest is all from Last Valley 👍
Where didyou buy these markers ?
Hi, i get them from Warbases.co.uk using there custom mdf token option 👍
How do you treat 1/2 batteries? What rules, restrictions, etc?
I use the rules un Albion Triumphant II, they follow all the normal rules but their shooting line is 1-1-2, 👍
@@7thson726 Thanks for pointing that out. I see it at the bottom of page 108, and for some reason, I never noticed it before .
very nice battle report and super to see woman playing tapletop.
i am reading at the moment the black powder rulebook (germann version) and hope to play my first game as soon as possible (unfortunately against myself).
An idea for you for furture videos can be Black Powder turtorials (movement,shooting ...). short videos where a profi player with experience explain it to the beginner :-)
Thanks very much 👍😀 she had a great time, will be having anither game soon.
I hope you enjoy reading the rules i find them very readable. I did think about doing a few vids but i really recommended these vids by Pancake Payne th-cam.com/play/PLncWZuH3N6R_6vUvPAJb1SK9x1JhXZSMq.html they are really good, they were made for first edition but not a great deal has changed with the core mechanics
👍😀
Also, what is the make of the roads?
They are from Last Valley 👍 he makes excellent scenery
Be wary of quiet smiling warrior queens!
Indeed 😀👍
new to historical tabletop, can anyone tell me what model size these are. Thx in advance.
Hi there, welcome aboard, these are all 28mm miniatures 👍
Cheers for that, I'm entering via the napaleonic epic set at 15mm. Still trying to understand unit sizes but loved the Battle Report.
@@highlandphaeron nice one, its all still essentially the same, the units are the same footprint size, just smaller models so more on the bases and it uses cm instead of inches 👍
is richard sharpe in this game?
Hello mate 😀👍 some companies make a model of him i think, ive got one who looks like Hagman.
What's the table size?
6 x 4 ft 👍
Nice tabletop wargaming! How About French- and Indian war? Do you collect/play that also? BR
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it. I have a French force to paint for muskets and tomahawks which is FIW, will actually be starting on them this week 👍
cool, i am looking forward to it. I own a french and a british force too but not painted yet. so, thanks your Videos!
What mm is this? 15?
28mm 👍
Bah ha ha Dude your wife beat you on her first game! May I recommend a new game for you? It’s called Chutes and Ladders. Nice BR though. Thank you I’m ,just getting into BP.
Yeah, dice were not on my side in this one. I would play her at boardgames but it goes much the same way 👍😀 Glad you liked it
Haha, lock down has a lot to answer for! Martin, surely those dastardly Brit Hussars could have claimed a point of support in that final turn, and don't Brit Cav have that terrible rule that allows them to reroll all their combat misses?
Absolutely haha, it certainly does. Honestly, I can't remember, I got such a kicking it probably doesn't matter. I think British heavy cav get the combat resolution bonus but can't remember about a re roll, unless that was in the Waterloo update they did for Epic Battles 😁
@@7thson726 its in the Albion Triumphant supplements, Gallop at Anything and Ferocious Charge from BP rulebook. They make British Cavalry very nasty.
@@nzdarkelf2451 ah, yeah, probably forgot at the time 😅
@@7thson726 my brother was the Brit player - that's what stopped me from forgetting! lol. I'm working my way thru this series. A great way to play, using a small number of units. We always got bogged down in large battles. Inspiring.
Hi Nice game. I have to tell that skirmishers shoot always on 3s.
Thanks very much 😀
Are you sure? i cant find anything in the rules for that? all i can see is the normal modifiers for close range (+1) or the negative for shooting at a skirmishing unit (-1), Sharpshooter allows them to re-roll a single miss. I've been playing for about 5 years and never come across that before, have you got a ref as if its somehting i've always gotten wrong id really like to know 👍
It’s a +1 for skirmishers shooting but was in 1st edition and has been taken out for 2nd.
Excellent battle reports by the way, only just found them and really enjoying them, waiting to get my troops back on the table
I wish this wasn't so expensive
I know what you mean, have you looked at the Epic Warlord products, these are smaller scale and let you build big armies for alot less 👍
That is a scary woman !
Haha because she'll play a wargame or because she is unrelenting with the aggressive tactics 😅👍
Your wife's burn at 14:20 haha
Yes, she takes no prisoners and enjoys rubbing it in 😁
Hehe you took it well fella to be fair. Are you planning on making any more in this series? Absolutely loved your three so far, would be interesting to see if you can keep up that French streak ;)
@@GrimAnglo awesome, glad your enjoying them. There will be more, we have the next scenario planned. Next battle report up will be for a differe t game and then it should be back to Black Powder 👍😁 the French will be back.
Yesss, you’ve made my day. So excited now :D
Hope you enjoy your game :)
Typical "frenchy " antics
Haha indeed 😀
