Lewis grew an entire mustache in the time it took to edit this video.
What an amazing amount of effort that went into this!
I didn’t even notice until I read the comment lol
Nothing gets past you Spiff 😂
Don't expose the magic!!! lol
lost his balls too
It's a very neat moustache, too. Quite symmetrical.
Perfectly balanced, one might say.
I like the idea that every time Dad's Army takes a 'casualty' it is just one of them getting into a comedy predicament where they are unable to participate and the more casualties taken represents more of them trying to help
I fucking love this idea
“Captain! I appear to have got my foot stuck!”
“Oh for goodness sake, Frazer put down your sniper rifle and help him get his foot free”
They're taking turns in checking the turkey in the oven for the christmas dinner
Godfrey must have been caught short for the last fight
@@201bio could keep up with the rest of them, lingering behind ever so politely asking in his soft voice. "Oh would you mind I need a moment to catch my breath". The deranged German officer furious to be caught by the elderly and foolish rag tag group manages to slip away to the back whilst his men are all caught or killed, screaming as he takes ol' jones captive. Mannering won't let one of his men die and offers to take jones place as the hostage, jones insists captain Mainwaring shoots the Jerry. As tensions rise as the jerrys backed into the door, pews piled up as barricades, staring wide eyed at the serious face of Captain Mainwaring. Only for the door to open outwards, the pews to fall forward, as the day is saved when Godfrey comes in, "Oh I'm terribly sorry" he says to the officer as he's pinned to the floor by the pews. The lads crowding a shocked Jones who slowly takes down his beret to reveal a hole poking through it from where the officer shot.
That's the kind of weird yet heroic ending of a dads army episode XD
Mind you, nothing quite beats the actual movie ending, where they take out 3 paratroopers held up in a church having held hostage the actual rotary club. XD
Germans’ Turn: Fury, Saving Private Ryan
Brits’ Turn: Dad’s Army, MASH
“A jarring tonal switch for the audience every other scene, but still hailed as on of the best war productions of the decade.”
This was more fun than if the BBC made a full size movie of it.
@@anathardayaldar there already is a movie and it's much better than these idiots 🤦♂️🤡
Germans' turn: [Gefreiter Fritz takes a bullet to the throat and begins rolling on the floor, wheezing and grasping the wound as visceral blood squirts over Soldat Conrad, who is pinned by the sniper and screaming for his mutti]
Brits' turn: "doN't PANIc, CaptAiN MAnNERInG, GivE Me ThAT gRENaDe and i'll siT ON it With My HElmeT" [the grenade is a dud but he won't realize for half an hour]
@@IAmTheStig32 I want to think one of them is on a dud grenade and when they are needed someone just go hey uh the lads need ya want me to lay on the grenade to make sure it doesn't kills us all
French and German's turn: Allo Allo with the shitty SS, the shittiest wermacht officers I've ever seen and the funnily stupid French resistance lead by a communist womanizer and the man who just wants to survive (and leave his wife) renee
'We will DEFINITELY surrender.'- Winston Churchill in the Flaxiverse, 1941
'Definitely, definitely, definitely!'
I love how Lewis suggests Flax swap out the dad's army troops. Its so much more fun to play games that way, where its about the fun and not sticking tightly to rules.
In fairness they were doing a lot for laughs given Pyrion called in more Rotary club members instead of like an actual tank haha
I love Pyrion's expression after he rolled for the Lewis Gun
The editing on that tho.. 👌
Killed me 🤣🤣🤣
The butterfly spring was missing! :-)
I though "Wow, that's a really cool custom squad." and then I go and they're OFFICIAL MODELS?! The madlads at Warlord games created models and stat blocks for Dad's Army. I love it so much.
I absoluletly love the way you 'tell the story' of these bolt action games. It works so well as a vehicle for comedy!
I swear, the production quality of these just seems to keep getting better.
This was more fun than if the BBC made a full size movie of it.
The fact this was uploaded on the same day the BBC 2 are showing Dads Army followed immediately by The Eagle Has Landed is a weird coincidence.
Clearly Yogs waited for this exact circumstances to release this video
There are no such thing as coincidences.
Holy shit yes
The constanty swapping Dads Army might be my favourite thing ever. Even more fun is that Lewis is the one who suggested it. Nothing’s better where everyone is just in it for the fun, not to win. I love these battle reports and I hope you never stop making them. When watching I just always have a smile on my face all the way through
This is, genuinely, my favourite format of battle reports on TH-cam. Just the joy and fun that you chaps exude while playing is so nice to see.
I’ve never seen Dad’s army but after this video I feel like I fully understand the show and characters.
It was such a great show. The humor still holds up.
@@brunneng38without a doubt
Makes me want to watch it
Full Dad's army campaign would be so great.
There were 80 episodes they could get scenarios from, so plenty of choice.
@@danielwilson5102 great suggestion but I also like the idea of inserting them into scenarios from more serious warfilms. Can Dad's army save Private Ryan
@@Brummieboy This is what I want. The juxtaposition is what makes it so funny.
@gregortheoverlander4122 just an enemy at the gates style mission where ofc jonesy doesnt realise theyre not against the russians and starts cheering at the end of the opening scene and starts screaming dont panic when he sees the hanging body
I physically pumped my arms in joy when Pvt. Godfrey healed Mainwaring 😂
He showed up with a cup of tea for the Captain.
His sister Dolly made him a lovely upside-down cake and cucumber sandwiches
I know they were worried about somebody who has never seen Dad's Army would be confused about this on the Triforce, but honestly, having never seen anything of the like, this has been incredible.
"An old WWI Lewis gun."
"No relation"
That shouldn't have gotten a giggle, but it quite did.
I like how, if this were real, the British army is just sitting back watching a small militia destroy a German paratrooper regiment
11:26 the image of this one dude watching his entire formation beaten, clubbed and shanked to death by the elderly and then watched the survivors get aniliated in a cloud of 12 gage to remain in composed is hilarious, i like to think its one of those situations where dude isnt holding his ground because hes brave or unshaken but the sheer truma has put him into some kind of PTSD induced autopilot
This has been the best bolt action video yet, it's also the first time I was rooting against Lewis
The Dad's Army models seem so fantastically made! And so stupendously comedic, which is perfect for these sorts of games.
Having read some of the rules the Dad's Army section have, holy crap they're BONKERS - Godfrey can reroll his medic check 5/6 times, Jones halves the attacks the enemy get in melee, Walker lets the entire squad shoot twice once per game, and Pike can take up to 6 shots with his Tommy Gun (But it jams permanently if two or more ones are rolled)!
This was incredible I love dad's army so much!
In the original Dad's army film the church has actually been taken over by Germans holding the town hostage and they disguise a choir to get close to them to force a surrender
Yogs x Dad's Army is a crossover I never thought I'd see, but this is my video of the year for sure. As Pyrion chooses another Rotary Club to enter the fray and rolls a 1, I can just picture Arthur Lowe muttering "you stupid boy..."
12:27 "Mr. Mainwaring Mr. Mainwaring! We've lost the butterfly spring Mr. Mainwaring!"
which i believe was a actual storyline in dads army where fraise accidentally seals one of the Lewis guns main springs in a casket with someone.
this was, absolutely without a doubt, the best tabletop content the yogs have produced and i am including all of the battle boys in that statement! a suggestion for a follow up, Dads army accidentally end up in D-day?
Oh I need to see this so much now
Christ almighty. If I want to watch something with that kind of end, I'd put on Blackadder.
These videos are SO GREAT. The editing and pacing of it all makes a multi-hour endeavor like wargaming a perfect video, and Lewis, Ben, and Pyrion are having such a great time playing. The rotating cast of actors is a HILARIOUS bit that I loved immensely. Amazing work, everyone involved!
I love these games. I know there's a ton of editing needed so thank you all
Even as someone whos never watched Dad's Army, only knows of it, this was an absolute hoot. I think the more goofy approach made it a lot more entertaining, and the joy of you boys playing definitely came through too. Also fantastic editing Tommy B, your additions are an integral and appreciated part of the formula too!
This series has literally gotten me into bolt action and now I go to an old persons home and play on a monday night. You made me into an old man and I'm loving it
I love the little Dad's Army figures. Were those an 'official' off the shelf product or were they just made for this video?
I do love the swapping of characters as well, even if it's a bit of a cheat. Kinda works like an old school continuity error, like the episode 'Things that go bump in the night' where the exterior scenes have Private Walker but not the studio scenes due to those being filmed after the actor, James Beck's, death.
Warlord Games, who make Bolt Action, made Dad's army figures in and out of uniform and some MASH ones too
@apPAULling yup you can see the out of uniform ones in the rotary club bunch
It was not continuity "error" as such - more a continuity "challenge". If I recall correctly Walker's lines were given to the actor who played the ubiquitous but usually silent Private Sponge.
I have been waiting so fucking long for this after it kept getting mentioned in the triforce. I love these lewis and pyrion bolt action games so much.
Who do you think you are kidding, Mr Brindley?
Amazing 😂
So glad I’ve discovered this channel. I get clickbaited into so many live plays, and lose interest in the majority as they become, for lack of a better word, boring.
What this channel is doing though is incredible. The Sharpe episode felt like it could have been a script from the show, the hobbits and ringwraiths was so fun, and this one I will be chuckling over for days to come. The humor, the rule of cool, and using the game to tell a story!
Brilliant work everyone involved, and thank you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love these, I would never be able to play it so watching you guys tell funny stories along with it is awesome
a dads army episode where they save the local church from germans trying to steal the vicars diary would be class
Yes !! love videos like this
I loved the moment when, putting their rivalry aside for King and Country, Captain Square and the Eastgate Platoon arrived to reinforce Capt Mainwaring's men!
This needs to become the plot to a remake of Dad’s Army! And I can’t believe Pyrion would even consider letting Jones die (and get retroactively revived)!
"DON'T PANIC!!!"
This is wonderful, I love how they're all so in to it. The pure EMOTION in every dice roll. The shock from the triple 1s the saving grace of the holy 6. It's poetry in film
Being a gamer dad approaching 50 with all the decorum and manners a Carter USM fan has, I have fallen in love with this channel. I'll be showing my eldest this and hopefully we'll be cracking out some Bolt Action together soon.
The rotating members from Dad's Army actually sounds like a neat little rule/ability. Can swap out one model with one of the wounded models, but you can only swap one model.
I still find this to be one of my favorite of these videos. Just so entertaining. And I love Lewis’ being totally ok and encouraging the comedy of swapping people out, because in the end it is just a game, and led to so many great silly moments.
Oh who do you think you're kidding mister Hitler?!
Great game lads!
This was splendid! Excellent editing and narration. Especially appreciated the pictures of the Dad's Army characters, I had no idea who they were talking about 😅
God, I love these semi-RP table top tactics games. Particularly Pyrion is just hilarious.
I love how the dads army went from old and unfit men to a spec ops crew
Fabulous editing and storytelling in these scenarios! Appreciate the work you put into this!
I'm so glad there's another of these videos, I adore how you edit them together and still manage to capture the joy and intensity of the game!
I love how you started out with a quite serious war game and ended with a British comedy movie XD
Thank you all so much for this great video! By far the best Bolt Action game you have played. I enjoyed it a lot. Great scenery, models, scenario, storytelling, editing and sportmanship from both sides of the table! My compliments!
This video is so well done! The set-up of the game. The editing. Even lighting the room differently to differentiate between the play footage and the after commentary! Love the "in 30 minutes" format and this one was aces!
Thank you for making another one of these! By far my favorite battle reports on youtube.
these are the best. i know they take alot of time and effort to make and do. so thanks to Tom and everyone for making these great battle reports happen!
This is a really good format for a battle report. I always love seeing these from y'all.
I've loved every single Bolt-Action video so far, they're amazing.
The editing is absolutely phenomenal, the models are wonderfully painted, and the fun spirit of things was a great cherry-on-top.
Please do more, and continue to take your time with them, the final product has been superb every time. I'm very excited for the next one! 💙
Love these scenarios so much :D Best one yet for sure!
This video was bloody fantastic. I loved how you went all in on the narrative it was so entertaining to watch. More miniature videos please.
This was hilarious good fun. I loved that show growing up (I'm old) and this game captured the spirit so very well! Especially the "I'm not dead yet!" model swapping! Gotta love old BBC editing! Thanks for this!
so glad to have more of these, really shows the talent of the yogscast to still be producing this level of content for so many years, can’t wait for the next one
Fantastic bolt action report, lovely to see it on the channel again. Cheers lads!
I'm so glad TH-cam recommended this to me, this was gold from start to finish.
I stumbled onto this video and what a find it was! I really enjoy your guys' style and look forward to new content.
What I really appreciate about the "X hours of game in 30 minutes" format is that it's really good at showing off a game. You get JUST enough snippets of actual play to get an understanding of the mechanics of the game without it dragging on. AND with the retelling you get the Story of the game. The fun more cinematic version the players imagined in their heads.
I haven't played many war games and they've always seemed difficult to get into but these videos get me excited to try! Informative and very fun.
Love the editing and story telling
"Don't tell him, Pike!"
Great concept for a scenario!
Stumbled upon this while looking up Bolt Action battle reports-what a great watch!
Absolutely loving this as always!
Really really entertaining to watch, great scenario, beautifully played.
Great video! Really hope you guys make more in the future. Looked like everyone was having a lot of fun and the editing was done so well. Really love the way these videos are structured, jumping back and forth to explain what was happening and keeping it so short and fun
Stunning work. Absolutely great work
Thank you for that, thoroughly enjoyed the video
Fantastic video, the world gets a little bit brighter everytime a yogscast bolt action video is released
I adore your series of battles and am now actively watching past episodes! Wonderful! Thank you for your humor and quality production!
Thank you so much! Tell your friends!
This was so fun to watch. I love Dad's Army so much, and everything was just awesome. Thanks for the incredible content!
these little bolt action games are my favourite thing that you guys are producing at the moment. i really enjoy the narratives that crop up as you play. Gives me home wargaming vibes
Do more of these, you lot are seriously amazing!
I love Pyrion so much! He's so great with voices and making a story XD I love how into it he gets with these!
This British humour is one the reasons why I am an Anglophile :D
I love the editing of this and the subtle background lighting!
For the past nine damn years of my life I've been blessed with the Yogscast producing videos that bring me eye watering laughter. Thanks for always cheering me up, you guys never cease to bring me joy!😄
You guys are so much fun to watch! Loving this channel.
These Bolt Action vids are my new favorite Yogs content. I look forward to more, lads!
Legitimately brilliant! More of this please!
This was an absolutely fantastic watch! Loved it!
These are so fun to watch. I wish they would do more. Such high quality
You guys have the best battle rep editing, hands-down. Plus, the yogs are always a delight to watch.
I love these so, so much. Thank you for making them!!
This was an absolute blast to watch. Y’all had me cackling for the whole vid. Keep being awesome guys!
These are truly amazing, please do more!!
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you gentlemen. What great fun.
The editing is brilliant.
I absolutely love these videos, so so so good!
11:56 Oh my gosh that Lewis Gun roll was AMAZING!!! The chances of rolling that! XD
Bravo lads always love seeing theses
Man I look forward to these so much
