Where did you get the Indiana Jones figure from?
5:40 field gun as the gamers know it
He has since been promoted to Major Trauma
Ah man. I don't want to pay to find out what happened to poor trauma
*"A second truck has hit Indian Jones"*
Surprised to see you in a video about Miniature War Games, given you're the quintessential British Exploit Gamer.
@@ZKP314 I suppose Spiff hasn't shown up on this channel in a while but he is the Yogscast #1 fan and commenter. I 100% expect and look forward to his keen insight on every upload.
Not even a member to games night. can't believe it!
@@DoABarrelRol1l Fan? He's been in several videos and streams lmao
@@alfredhadesworth9253 Doesn't mean he can't also be their #1 fan 😉🎩
Like how you decided to "legally distinct" the free-reign item from the bible, but not the intellectual property that is Indiana Jones XD
Literally thought the exact same thing.... lol.
Made me chuckle
I fully expect this video to be copyright struck by our Divine Father in Heaven Law Firm LLC
Look, would you rather litigate against Lucasfilm or whoever, or god?
@@saoirsedeltufo7436 id beat god in a fist fight, dude is too afraid to even show up when i call him out.
Pyrion's extremely polite and accommodating British artillery officers are the real MVPs.
Funnier compiled with his god-tier dice rolls in the first few turns.
Having Ben as a Gm helps make it feel so much more cinematic and epic. Would love to see more like this!
Yep, I think the more GM'd pieces go well for battle reports. Can't wait for the dad's army/Indiana jones crossover
i agree
I want Ben to GM a new Yogsquest on Games Night, honestly.
@@wilfchapman-gandy8120 I'd also take Tom, for added madness or Smith, who absolutely nailed it in the hatfilms dnd series
It does also help to have someone who doesn't have a direct stake in the game to go "could you do this... Yeah, sure, if you roll me... Another 6? Nice."
Half wargame half role playing game, this is such a cool concept with a great execution!
This is actually very similar to how the original Warhammer Fantasy operated before it went full wargame.
If you're a fan of this style of gameplay, it's fairly well supported even in the modern day!
40k spawned the quite successful Necromunda, and then the fantasy version Mordheim. Same simple premise: build a gang of unsavoury characters, get into fights with other gangs to earn loot and glory, with each "game" you play having some persistent impact on your local playgroup's ongoing "campaign."
Example: Red Gang and Blue Gang both show up to game night & decide to play, they roll the random scenario "ambush" and Red Gang delivers a brutal beatdown. Blue Gang's heaviest hitter gets shanked and, despite his crew's best efforts, the doc can't save him.
So now Blue Gang has lost a champion to an (unprovoked) ambush, which stings, and the rest of the gang (plus the player) want revenge against the Red Gang idiot who did it. Meanwhile the leader of Yellow Gang is in an absolute fury, because Red Gang "stole their kill" and now looks like they could be a serious threat.
Yellow challenges Red, and they agree to meet on an especially dangerous battlefield, where horrible (and permanent) injury awaits any ganger that doesn't watch their step. Secretly (but openly to the players, of course), Red Gang contacts Green Gang for backup, and the four gangs meet for a brutal 2v2 honour duel. Of course, -someone- decides to cheat...
Sometimes it really feels like Lewis has been cursed by the gods of bolt action
Renald has given his blessings to Pyrion
The editors did not need to put the blood splash of the monkey on the wall but they did, another example of top notch editing
If only they paid attention to geography at school; that map is of South America, not North Africa
@@teucer_ I have a feeling they just picked an aesthetically fitting piece of stock footage. It's possible there was nothing in that style for North Africa.
@@teucer_ 😆😆 I kept trying not to see the Amazon, but all I could see was the Amazon
3:30 If someone tried to start that airplane while it is missing a propeller blade, then the plane would shake violently for a few seconds before the engine tears itself off of its mounts and spins away, before stopping from losing its fuel supply. This is because the center of gravity for a propeller must sit exactly in the middle of the driveshaft, otherwise it acts as a giant rumble motor as the propeller spins. Honestly, very fitting for an Indiana Jones movie.
Source: I am a pilot and an armchair aeronautical engineer. Also, a blade separation just like this happened in flight to a twin-engined Piper Navajo in the 90’s, with the right engine losing a propeller blade, that engine shaking itself off of the airplane as described, while the detached blade hit and broke the propeller on the left engine on its way out, causing that engine to stop. The pilot briefly lost control of the plane, but was able to recover and crash landed into an open field, everyone surviving with minor injuries:
aviation-safety.net/wikibase/187270
Now THAT sounds like a fun Indiana Jones setpiece.
Badass!
The moment that came up in the video I thought "I wonder if someone commented about that"
And lo and behold
I was imagining that the loss of a propeller may be sustainable long enough for an emergency landing, if you were in the air, but no way would it be able to take off. Completely forgot to take into account the balance of the blades tearing the engine from it's mounting.
It turns into a Rumble Pak. Got it.
"Indiana Jones" from Steven Spielburg = that's fine, this is fair use.
"The Ark of the Covenant" from *the Bible* = hoourr, better come up with a legally distinct moniker. xD
I looooooooooooooove these bolt action videos, I'm hyped.
IT WAS BRILLIANT. Expectations exceeded.
beware the copyright lawyers of God, my dude
My favorite part of these is always Ben telling Pyrion he needs an incredibly unlikely series of rolls, and Pyrion does it almost every time. Then the opposite with Lewis where he needs to roll a 2 or something, and somehow fails.
Wonder if theyre using the same dice, it’s weirdly sus
@@colonelturmeric558look up tye wil Wheaton dice curse, it’s impossible but soemtiems stuff like this happens to people
I *absolutely* **love** the funky hero characters you guys do - The standard heroes like Indy, Dad's Army, and Luke Skywalker do genuinely ABSURD things, but the little heroes, like Sgt. Trauma, the Artillery Officers, and the Childcatcher General are just funny and heroic in their own ways!
Pyrion's calm British soldier accent made me crack up 'Look at that chap, he's screaming and holding his face...shall we have a cup of tea'
Honestly pretty accurate too.
Pyrions good luck actually made this feel like a real Indiana jones movie scenario
The 25pdr is a howitzer though, or rather to be specific, a gun-howitzer.
In ben's defense, he got his info from the rules of Bolt Action, which differentiate the two, calling the next size up of artillery a "howitzer"
A cool scenario could be to set them up trying to capture a strange thing that fell from space, and when they go to take a look at it, it's full of like tyranids or something and they have to kinda work together to beat them. I wonder how much they'd have left at that point though
And Idea for a 1v1vGM scenario I had one time, was an evacuation scenario, but the GM had a TigerII and a few infantry units.
The Tiger 2, couldn't be destroyed, only knocked out for 1 turn. Could be done similar but Ben get's a Baneblade and 2 units of Space Marine (alternatively, some larger tyrranid unit and 2 unity of genestealers or sth), while the others get a regular Bolt Action WW2 army. Maybe they make it a city map like Stalingrad, where both Germans and Soviets want to abandon the city, otherwise maybe Soviet vs Finish troops who discovered an extraterrestrial strike force in the most norther provinces (bonus points for skiing rules for the latter....
Sounds like a Xenonauts prequel.
@@foreng3095 the Iceland incident.
As a Indiana Jones fan i loved this scenario was so much fun
I thought the Dad's Army one was amazing, but this went even further. Terrific execution from all involved, right from the concept to the edit.
The homebrew rules were awesome, would love to see more custom thematic scenarios too. Really nice seeing Games Night become a thing again
The little smoke and fire effects are amazing, I'm sure they're a headache to create, but they add so much to the visuals. Keep up the good work!
This was incredible. The scenario fitted the films perfectly, it was beautifully balanced. I don't know how you manage it but these are amazing!
I'm definitely not biased as an Indiana Jones Mega fan either...
This was so awesome great "gm" and admin work Ben, you did do some good book rules, and great job to the editor too it's really nicely done.
this is probably the best war gaming series I've ever seen!
Pyrion's incredibly chill artillery spotters have to be my favorite characters the battle boys have ever come up with.
Well akchually Ben, * pushes glasses* the 25pdr was a howitzer
So in an effort to be right you are wrong
Glad someone else said it.
For anyone wondering why, in modern nomenclature a howitzer is any artillery piece capable of both high angle and low angle fire. Field guns are low angle only (like AT guns and such) and mortars are high angle only. A 25 Pounder was primarily used as indirect artillery, but was capable of direct firing as needed.
4:35 Our sweet boy Ben missed a trick by not calling it 'Der Schnelle Game'
The videos with Lewis and Pyrion have always been great but this one is extra special
Lovely video, amazing gm-ing by the shark, but let's just have a moment of silence for the numerous virgins Pyrion sacrificed to the dark lord to get those 6 rolls.
Lewis makes ze best German. Thanks for the content!
Everyone's eagerness to make cinematic moments happen really make these videos fun. Looking forward to the next one!
Shoutout to the editors for going the extra mile with those blood splatters on the walls of the terrain.
Using Sgt Trauma's fate as an incentive for membership, though...you gents drive a hard bargain!
I love that bald bastard.
This was excellent, and I would absolutely love to see more like it!
The narrative campaigns are great! Keep it up!
I love this please do more, this is such a fun game to watch.
The plane isn't missing a propeller blade, it has a mustache.
These are my favourite battle reports I’ve ever seen! Honestly Ben’s GMing and the fact that the games are made to be fun and cinematic instead of just standard games make them a thousand times better
This was incredible ! Honestly, top tier stuff. Congrats to all the team that worked on this video !
This one was amazing! I could actually see this being the final sequence in an Indiana Jones movie. Also Pyrion has such amazing luck lol XD
This literally felt like it could be a movie
I love the energy of everyone in this. Lewis is loving the chaos, Pyrion is so classically British, Ben is just thriving
These videos are absolutely incredible. I love Ben as the GM, PFlax and Brindles are great together and the chemistry of the three lads is just brilliant. So happy games night is back
That was absolutely incredible. We need more just like this. I always love the Battle Reports but this one was special.
The unknown Indy luck was a great aspect.
This is SO GOOD! Absolutely fantastic. Ben, you're an amazing GM for these! I really need to get membership. Soon!
Honestly, there's so much good membership (or funded-by-members) content on the Yogscast network now. Hat Films' Vault Hunters series, the legally distinct Task Box episodes, these battle reports. You're killing it, guys! Been a fan since around 2010 and I couldn't be happier with all this new content.
I love the more narrative style you guys are doing. Keep it up!😊
Ben is killing these setups! Lewis and Pyrion are such a great combo. Looking forward to the next one. Thank you lads!
Love these. It'd be cool to see some short campaigns with connected storylines in this format, highlighting the emergent storytelling is one of the coolest parts of the format and you could really double down on it! Lots of grist for members content too
So many memorable moments from this episode like:
"Could I run over the zombies with our truck?"
"You can, but it will probably ruin the truck in the process."
"We have another truck."
Pyrions commentary and roleplay was PHENOMENAL. Gave me a right good chuckle it did.
This scenario, the play, and the editing, was ace.
i am loving this series! it is an excellent return to the roots of all modern tabletop roleplaying: historical wargames, ESPECIALLY with ben acting as GM and having cool rule tweaks to make it more fantastical - its literally from where chainmail and then dungeons and dragons are directly descended so i am delighted :)
'Indie Gets help from the British Army' Is such a fucking baller concept I'm surprised they never actually used it
abosultely incredible, the story telling in this is amazing, the action scenes were hilarious love the work you guys put in here. One of my favourites so far. Played out exactly like a movie. Wonderful!
I talked to a British veteran and those artillery spotters are exactly how he and his co talked as they got charged by enemies from a few kilometers away.
With a prop blade missing, it'd be an unbalanced centrifuge and it'd rattle itself to pieces. Lewis coulda told you that, surely!
Usually I don’t enjoy Board Game videos because I get too distracted, but Jesus Christ you guys are funny and entertaining
I thoroughly enjoyed this episode of *Indiana "Plot Armor" Jones vs the Mad Max Halftrack from Hell*
I came into this not being sure what to expect and was absolutely blown away by how fun and high quality it was! You guys have done a great job and should be proud! I can't wait to see the other videos like this you've done and I'm looking forward to more in future!
best one yet, i love how you guys play for fun, and make way for funny/cinematic moments
Great production quality, sublime special effects! Great storytelling with nice plot twists, top notch! You guys did an amazing job! Thank you so much for this entertaining video!
2:40 these 8 lads is just where the song praise the lord and pass the ammunition comes from
From the early days of Battle Boys to these beautifully edited games. Hats off to you Ben!
Top shelf! This channel is quickly becoming the best place on TH-cam for casual battle reports. Love the production value and narrative :)
It was just like an Indiana Jones movie! It was amazing and I loved it!
Nice plot twist.
All battle reports should have a 30min summary video like this.
23:00 "what is this Sargents name" SARGENT PEPPER!
The Indiana Jones sequel we never knew we needed.
I love that they just made an Indiana Jones movie
Edit: I absolutely love the custom scenarios and Ben's approach to gamemastering this, I think it's more fun like this, where it's not *so* much about winning but more just telling a collaborative story.
This reminds me of Xavier renegade angel when he was arguing with himself “when you snooze, you lose, and it looks like you snost and you lost!”
Man, I absolutely adore watching these batreps, the quality, the banter, the scenarios, all so much fun! Absolutely puts ours to shame 😂
Top work Ben, the effort put in is so clear. Hugely appreciated!
"Look at that chap, he's screaming and holding his face....should we have a cup of tea" just sent me.
Swim-Wagon is far too hilarious
I absolutely love Pyrion's posh Englishman and I never get tired of Lewis doing the comic book villain German XD
This group’s chemistry is incredible 😂 love these videos!!! Keep it up editors ❤
fuck, i love this format. It's like playing dnd and then having the party drink a few beers afterwards and gas up the roleplay
This is the best you've done so far! It really did feel like an Indy film. Thanks for reminding me of my childhood! Ben was a superb GM, love the mechanics.
Love the concept, keep up the good work
Casket of the Revenant sounds like the perfect name for a McGuffin in a D&D game, so I think I'll steal it just for that!
Wonderful video. Just recently found the channel but used to watch the yogscast when I was younger but now that I do tabletop war gaming it’s great to see a familiar creator making absolutely amazing battle reports, even if they are for games I don’t play (would love to see some battletech at some point though). Y’all keep up the good work.
this was a delight to watch, thank to to lewis, pyrion, ben, and the editors!! really made my day in a very busy exam week
I really enjoyed the more roleplay focussed elements. It opens so many doors than just playing normal scenarios!
I love the Lewis, Pyrion bolt actions, would love loads more of these
Aerospace engineer here: I expect the imbalanced propeller would fairly quickly cause so much vibration that other components would be damaged until the plane definitely wouldn’t fly.
Yes we are back!! Awesome guys.
I love the bit at 6:53 about the plane.
That ending was pretty sweet for sure!
Ben, Lewis, Pyrion, and everyone else involved: this was seriously the best yogscast video I’ve watched all year. The editing, the chemistry between Lewis and Pyrion, Ben’s game management skills, you can’t beat it. Great job!
15mm is my favorite scale to play Bolt Action in. The ranges and the movement just feels better - less claustrophobic.
This was a fun watch, crazy scenario, like a game at a Con.
The problem with the plane losing one of the blades is that it would imbalance the prop. At several thousand RPM the uneven weight would cause the plane to shake violently, like a badly loaded washing machine on a spin cycle. The engine and prop would shake itself to bits long before the Stuka took off.
Best board game series!
There was a 0.46% chance for Pyrion to roll 4 sixes in a row lol, amazing
I love your unit callouts. Such a nice editing touch and super creative and practical. You should have way more subscribers than you do! I'm in for the ride!
Just another day at the office as Bull pulls out his box of zombie Nazis.
The best one yet, and that's saying something after the great Dad's Army game!
Would love to see you guys play a game of One Page Rules, either Grimdark Future or Age of Fantasy.
this is so amazing, thank you for making these
I hope that Sgt Trauma comes back in the future as Major Trauma
Depending on carriage configuration the QF 25 pounder was either a field gun or a howitzer
Thrilling fight with a horde of twists lads great work
This style was definatly the best yet
That was amazing! One of the best Battle Reports you've ever done. Ben's GMing really put it above and beyond. The Zombie twist and secret luck counter were both such fantastic moments, and the course of the game was so perfectly balanced and cinematic that it felt like a real Indy story. Bravo!
