Loved this!! This game seems to have everything Ive wanted in a skirmish game. Black powder setting, magic and supernatural monsters, warbands gaining experience, narrative play. Deffo picking this up, and in time maybe homebrew a scandinavian folklore campaign!
The fact that you played it solo and finished in 45 mins says a lot about the speed and apparent simplicity of the rules on this occasion. It's still got me interested
@@EricVulgaris Given that there's now at least three grimdark blackpowder fantasy wargames, does this qualify as its own subgenre? I vote for calling it "Grimpowder".
A quick tip that I learned playing Song of Drums and Shakos. Since facing doesn't matter, once a model has activated, turn him to face their starting table edge. You then know who's activated. At the end of the turn, pivot them back to face the opponent's edge.
My copy of the ruleset should arrive tomorrow. I'm almost always a solo player so I'm really hoping there's enough content for a worthwhile solo experience beyond a mere five scenarios. I'll pick up some Napoleonic minis regardless. Thanks for the Let's Play Ash. Looking forward to more on this game.
@@theurbanlegend9871 I agree but if you ever need any help. Joseph A. McCullough fan base is always putting out material, and it is nice to solo play through something that you didn't write.
I wasn't fussed by the game until I saw your play through. I already have some games like this that I play but it looks like this one does it all. Looks like a load of fun. I'm going to have fun making up some characters for this........remember don't trust him he has goat legs.
Fantastic Ash. Thanks very much for this Let's Play I'll be watching it more than once. My rulebook has just been posted today and soon Molder and Schully will be taking to the mountains of Transylvania and the Carpathian Forest to fight the forces of evil and the retreating French.
I'm rewatching X-Files and this made me squeal with joy. The absurd 90s baggy trousers and blouses in the show are the best part, Napoleonic dress saves them from many fashion crimes.
Thanks for this, dude. Your production values are always great, and I loved the touch of the "smoke" to denote models having fired. Really helps give some cool ambience to the board.
The Sinister Minister is an excellent song by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones! Always love your videos and let’s plays! Every new game you play on the channel makes me want to try it!
You gotta get a rotating plinth and some zoomed shots for these minis Ash! I wanna see em up close while your describing them and I know I am not the only one
Was looking forward to this one and you didn’t disappoint. Looking forward to your next instalment and looking forward to Jay hitting the table with you. I read that he’s bringing the British - it’s going to be epic.
So glad to get to see this game in action. All I can think about when I see you with no beard, is how my 4 daughter almost cried when the topic of shaving my beard came up.
Got some napoleonic minis painted for this but thought I’d use Bloody Miniatures for an ECW look. Table top minions said I should check out your channel for silver bayonet. Great first video 👍🏻
Nice - looks like it plays really well, I'm definitely getting hold of this and will be having some kitbashing fun with some Northstar cultists and Warlord Napoleonics in the near future!
Looks fun & amazing terrain! I bet the monsters are a bit confused as a bunch of food (people) show up, start fighting each other then they push over the survivors to finish them off before going back to sleep. After listening to a lot of Lions Lead by Donkeys (military history podcast) it seems this game needs a large list of possible diseases they can have at the character generation. The general health of the soldiers in the Napoleonic wars seemed quite rough.
I might set my campaign in Louisiana prior to the Louisiana purchase 1803. I might add a pirate faction based on Jean Laffite, Miskatonic University, or the Esoteric Order of Dagon. Considering campaigns in South America, Egypt, India, and the Far East.
Who's the young guy? Will Ash be back? This looks like another winner -- I have no Napoleonics but I just put together a bunch of American War of Independence figures for Sharp Practice. I'm thinking I'll just use those and change the setting to colonial America. On the other hand, I've wanted Wargames Atlantic's British riflemen so...(but I'm really trying hard to reduce the lead pile. Must. Resist)
First time here. Just curious. This is supposed to be the Napoleonic period, right? So why are all of the Spanish going around wearing 300-year old armor? During the Napoleonic period there were experiments with musket resistant armor suits, but they didn’t look like armor from the Conquistadores.
I’m a bit confused by the wording of the melee rules. If you charge and attack a model that has not yet activated, you attack if the target survives, why would it not fight back? The wording looks like it could be interpreted that you end it’s activation after attacking. Does this mean they don,t get to activate later in the turn? Alternatively they get to attack back and then activate.
They’re not conversions or for something specific; they’re KnuckleBones Minis STLs and Saint Decent STLs. Both can be acquired and printed through Patreon.
I mean the magic is optional… but this is a game of gothic horror so there’s going to be some supernatural stuff. If you’re looking for napoleonic skirmish there’s a ton of options
This is leaving me pretty cold. The game's selling point is supposedly monster hunting, but this game had a whopping one critter show up and it really didn't seem to be any kind of real threat to the player crews, leaving them free to beat on each other for very little benefit. Is this typical of scenarios for these rules or some kind of anomaly? Stargrave sees its random critters and/or unwanted attention pirates have far more impact on games IME, and the Q37 horror-in-space scenarios ratchet that up even more. Why's the game about crews of monster hunters got so few monsters in it by comparison? It's not like "historical period X" supernatural hunter games are a new idea on the market. Old Glory's had their Gothic horror games (starting with Vampire Wars) for decades, as well as Four-Color Figures/Blue Moon Chaos in Carpathia/Cairo games and their spinoffs. I could use most of my figs for those easily enough - but why do I want to switch rule systems besides the "it's a McCullough game" argument?
![⚔️Battle Report!!⚔️ Spoiler: Things Don’t Go As Planned 🏴☠️ [Ep. 38]](/img/n.gif)
Honestly I’d find a way to put Richard Sharpe and the 95th in this game
Wargames Atlantic has that Sharpe-style British Riflemen box. You could easily Sludge-ify/Turnip-ify it into a grimdark monster hunting party.
Was thinking the same thing
It would be easy to do. Riflemen are a troop type and officers can have rifles. You could also put Flashman in.
Killin Loup Garouxs. Now that's soldiering.
You would not be alone in that I think. :D
Loved this!!

Awesome that this game can fit into the same universe as Sludge. Would be an interesting campaign to combine the two into a single narrative.
Silver Bayonet turns into turnip28 turns into sludge haha

Or you could just make yourself a scenarios. . . lol
@@AzuraMonkey Aye, I expect to be doing plenty of that. Though tables for procedurally generating missions would be useful.

Entertaining taste, I'm interested to see the solo adventure into the woods and the 2player games with Jay should be a hoot.
Oh man this is the skirmish game I've been waiting for. So excited to see more Ash! thank you for this Let's Play.
Sleep schedule is shot from night shifts again so time to start a new series. Thanks again ash

"Phillip Noir (he's got goat legs)" 😁😁😁
Just ordered this from my FLGS. Very much up my alley.

Late question but, where did you get the sprues/kits/minis?! :O I am loooooving those crow-helmet and minis in general!
Super looking forward to this!
Very inspiring mini though it doesn't look very Napoléonic. It shows you can play with whatever remotely black powder era mini. Thanks.
It's gonna get more Napoleonic up in here soon....
@@worlds-in-conflict I look forward to seeing your Brits hit the table.

Perry-Miniatures have a wide selection of models from this era if anyone needs more places to look. Mostly where I have been browsing.
I feel a beard missing
How else did Ash lose 50 pounds?
I might set my campaign in Louisiana prior to the Louisiana purchase 1803. I might add a pirate faction based on Jean Laffite, Miskatonic University, or the Esoteric Order of Dagon. Considering campaigns in South America, Egypt, India, and the Far East.
This was a really cool game, really enjoyed the concept of it.
Pour one out for the beard 🍺. Nice batrep, I’ll be trying this one. I liked Rangers already but this has, IMHO, even more potential.
Where can we get those Conquistador/Spanish miniatures? Cause those are pretty cook and look really fun to paint!
They’re STLs by Saint Decent!
Great playthrough. Thanks. o7
I instantly thought you look different. I couldn't imagine having my beard shaved, it must be 6 yrs since I gazed upon my face.
Hey ash!
Where can i get those spanish models from? Just fell in love with them
no beard?! I´m scared things are changing up is down down is left, help

Are these the actual silver bayonet miniatures? They look different on their website?
Looks pretty dope. Napoleonic French are no joke.
So your spanish are 3D prints but the french? Are those perry miniatures kit-bashed??
KnuckleBones Minis STLs
Aren't these spaniards a bit outdated for the Napoleonic Wars? They feel 15th-16th century, not 19th to me.
i prefer the danny way of hopping a fence

Thanks Ash! Is Mr. Goatlegs using portals between two worlds?
I have a tone of napoleonics that need a game :)
Freshhhhhhhhh (ash, game, what have you)
Anyone knows where one can get a hold of the minis or are they conversations?
They are Turnip 28 minis

Good and interesting let´s play, unfortunate I get a bit sea sick by all the camera movement :)
nice one
Those french models are pretty cool, where are they from?
They’re KnuckleBones Minis STLs
@@GuerrillaMiniatureGames thanks!
What minis did you use for this if you dont mind me asking
Jay used lots of Perry Napoleonics and I 3D printed some St Decent Witch Hunters!
@@GuerrillaMiniatureGames ok thank you
Ash looks like Tom Hanks....
Any games like this, but without the magic?
I mean the magic is optional… but this is a game of gothic horror so there’s going to be some supernatural stuff. If you’re looking for napoleonic skirmish there’s a ton of options
Is it too weak having only 7 models?
Where did you get the Spanish soldier minis from?
SaintDecent STLs on Patreon :)
@@GuerrillaMiniatureGames thanks! They look great btw.
Just need some home-brewer, to include stats for the vegetable people from Turnip Wars.
Comment for engagement
You shaved! 😲
Anyone know where the Spanish minis are from?
Saint Decent STLs
Tintay Rodregay! RODREGAY!
(WKRP joke)
Who are you and what have you done with Ash?
Fey witchcraft to be sure! Deploy the troops, hunt the doppelgonger!
Dude - no beard is working for you. Took 5 years off - let it go!
I can't help but think of Seinfeld whenever I hear this opening music. It's very distracting.
You shouldn't be shaved for this type of review, sir. ;)

It's a McCullough game.
I think it is a starter scenario. I am guessing a new warband will probably struggle against bigger monsters right off the bat.
Doood... American Civil War for this might be cool.

Put your beard back on! Lol
