Your miniatures are beautiful, so is the terrain and the fire markers and I also liked the little red dead soldier markers. Really cool setup. What is the scale you use? 1/100 or 1/72?
What's the size washer you put on the miniatures? And what is the size of the hole and what size and thickness magnets do you guys use? Finally the larger movement trays, where do you get them?
Joe, great BATREP and excellent looking table! Being an avid Rugby/Cricket fan/player, I'm not too familiar with North American Sport terminology, when you say "top" of the turn does it mean the begging and does "bottom" mean the end regardless of whos turn it is eg, top (start of)of my turn, bottom (end of) of my turn... top(start) of my opponents turn, bottom (end) of my opponents term? Lol sorry Im just confusing myself more but is this right?
Left Handed Panzerfaust lol I sometimes forget that the audience for these batreps is half international. Top / bottom is a baseball term. Top means the first half of the turn and the bottom is the second half. Sorry for the confusion :)
The Acceptable Casualties again, I love your videos. You and Vin should add more urban elements. Might only criticism of your videos and I say this kindly, is that your Maps tend to be very similar. Patches of wood, three or four houses, filled with a fence. And a river. I would like to see more Dynamic battlefields or more elevation more because. That kind of thing
ASOTdemente I hear you. With trying to get a batrep out weekly the terrain set ups can get redundant at times. The only way to fix that is to add more terrain to the collection or find new places to play. Around here option B isn't very plentiful.
Your table looks amazing. 15mm is a scale I have been tempted to switch to from 20mm, but in the end I went for 6mm. I want to use them to get my Battlegroup rules off the shelf.
wannabemexican My buddy Scott did a great job putting that table together, most of it is hand made. I think you might be able to play in 6mm with some adjustments to the movement and shootind distance rates.
Maybe too late to the scene, but what model ranges are used in this? Thats not just plain FoW right? Also where did you get the rounded bases? Look really nice with the smaller bases on them. Ps. Thanks for all the battlegroup coverage!
Hey Al. I'm pretty sure the model ranges are from a mix of FoW and Old Glory / Command Decision. My buddy made those bases by hand and IIRC. They are small metal washers with the larger base being magnetized "Paper".
Is the large base where the single soldiers are standing on some kind of magnetic foliage? Because i had the same idea for my miniatures. Single metal bases then put them together on a large magnetic foliage. Sorry for bad english, greetings from germany 😉
Sveigar its a thin metal plate with grass on top and a felt bottom. The miniatures are based on washers with a magnet in the hole of the washer so it sticks to that base. It works really well.
The Acceptable Casualties Thank you sir! Mh that sounds like a much easier and cheaper way than my cnc selfmade bases and the expensive magnetic foil (thats the correct word sorry 😅). I will give it a try for my next army project.
I'd really love to see how these bases are created and put together. Thinking of getting into Battlegroup myself but i wanted to do the bases similar to those. However, i cant find any to buy or any guides on how to create them. Great battle report by the way! :)

BATTLEGROUP IS THR BEST WW2 WARGAME!
Great battle report. Those 15mm figures are terrific.
Fantastic table, amazing looking troops. Best Battle report seen so far.
Great report, lovely table/models - rally nice level of detail and format, thanks!
J C We're glad you enjoyed watching the game!
great report, love the table and the forces. good job.
Gorgeous table and beautifully painted models.
Great report!
I think I spotted some great opportunities to use the Fall Back! rule when German infantry was caught in the open but close to boccage.
Martijn Waegemakers There were a few oppertunities for that, unfortunately I ALWAYS forget about that rule in every game :)
What a beautiful table, just wow. That bocage looks awesome
really great job. enjoyed.
More Battlegroup reports please 🙂
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Where do you guys play?
really lovely table
Thank you! 😊
Great game, I love the table, looks really good, especially that bocage, where'd your friend get it from, or did he make it himself?
Sourgrape Films He made pretty much everything you see from scratch, excluding the buildings.
Your miniatures are beautiful, so is the terrain and the fire markers and I also liked the little red dead soldier markers. Really cool setup.
What is the scale you use? 1/100 or 1/72?
We play WW2 and ancients in 1/100 (15mm) and use 28mm for our skirmish style games.
What's the size washer you put on the miniatures? And what is the size of the hole and what size and thickness magnets do you guys use?
Finally the larger movement trays, where do you get them?
Those were my buddies, i'll try to get a hold of him and get the info.
@@TheAcceptableCasualties Thanks a lot

right I wont over think it!
Loved this
Thanks!
The Acceptable Casualties whose board is this? Play there more often. I loved the urban element. You and vin don't have that much
This is my buddy Scotts set up. He has a really nice collection of handmade terrain.

Just use a 3x3 table and cm for measurements. Works great and is correct mathematically!

I'll talk to my buddy and see if I can get him to do a basing video or show me so I can do one for you guys.
What are you using to base your infantry?
Just for future reference- those "Kubelwagens" are actually Schwimmwagens.
peezebeuponyou he didn't have the kubels so we had to proxy. I should have clarified
Hi, what type of round bases did you use? Thx
My buddy made those by hand with metal washers and magnetized sheets.
What size bases and what are they made of for 15mm?
My buddy custom built those with washers and magnets. I'll try to get him to post a how to video if he isnt to camera shy.
This is 15mm?
Nighthawk Dutch chameleon yeah, pretty much all of the ww2 games we play are in 15mm.
What make are those miniatures?
Harry Davies They're a mix of 15mm Battlefront & Plastic Soldier Company.
All my figures were BF. Joe?
I thought you had some PSC jagers in there too or were those just part if your FoW stuff?
All Battlefront for these forces. The STuG's are first generation BF plastics from Open Fire. PSC FJ are in the queue.
Where did you bought the mini? Americans and us?
Good lawd the Sherman is a liability..watched 2 vids of yours Sherman vs stug n Sherman loses
I don't know if they are that bad or if we're just cursed :)
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Where do you guys play?
John H We play mostly at my place or my buddies house here in Fort Collins, Colorado.
