Thanks for this clear presentation of how the game plays.I have played a few solo games of this and love the dramatic events it creates when damage is caused. A long video but it shows how a whole game flows and creates a narrative story.
This looks more like what I'm chasing for a WW2 game, less emphasis on aircraft paper stats, more on formations and the role of aces. Think you have a convert! Thank you for the great playthrough.
I’ve had Bag the Hun for years but an unexpected gift of 1/300 models has prompted me to start playing and this video was very helpful, thank you. A question; what height are your pegs and how big are the hexes on your map? Ah just seen you’ve previously said the mat I’d 1” hexes. Just the peg height then please?
Please... I need to ask you what kind of squares is the best or the ideal one for World War II air combat games... hexagonal, square, rhomboid, etc... ? thank you very much.
Absolutely loved this video! Please do more battle reports and learning games! I’ve stayed away from the lardies as I was leery on the cards. After watching this video I’ve now dig out all my 1/300th planes (bucket loads) and bought the PDF 🍻🍻🍻 how big is your hex mat and where did you get it? Looks great!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video and there are more coming. Stay tuned. The hex mat is from Deepcut Studios, but loads of people make them and it's 6ft by 4ft

You're welcome. I'm not making cards, but I bought some decks from Artscow, you'll find them amongst this list: dereksweetoys.com/artscow-cards-for-lardy-games/
It's a great game. the Hex mat came from deep Cut studios, although anyone who sells gaming mats will probably sell them. The stands I made myself from clear acrylic hexagon pieces and rods, with magnets attached to the top.
@@kaizimmer417 cheers, the hexes are 1 inch and I got the mat printed from Deepcut Studios where you can get the hex overlaid onto any of their mats. This one is the aerial mat.
Thanks. It's very different. Wings of War is a great game, but is a little vanilla compared to BtH, I've not played the WW2 version of WoW, though. BtH has much more thought put into the pilot's skills and how they react in combat, rather than the slightly mechanical aspect of WoW. The damage is a good component of the game, rather than having hit points it means that even lucky shots can take down the best.
Cheers, glad you enjoyed the video. BTH is a great game, lots of fun. The mat came from Deep Cut Studios, but pretty much everyone who sells mats sells hex ones as well.
No problem! Yes and yes! The planes are from Scotia Grendel, who have a good range of aircraft from across the Second World War at a good price. I'm sure you'll be printing yours though?
@@StormofSteelWargaming you'd expect nothing less. just loading up a couple of the printers now! Thanks for the info, just hovering over the pay button for a mat awaiting your reply.

Cheers, glad you enjoyed the video. TBF the video is as long as the majority of my videos... 🤣🤣🤣
Good stuff Alex! Very enjoyable!
@@gavfishergav-lar3088 cheers!
Thank you for the video. This is what I was looking for.
Glad it was helpful!

You are very welcome!
nice one! as you say, very few BtH videos available.. I've been teaching myself a little and this is useful, thanks!
Glad you liked the video! It's a good game, lots of fun!
Great vlog Alex, had the rules a couple of years but never put them to play test yet.
Cheers Keith, glad you enjoyed the video. They are a great set of rules , loads of fun!

Glad it was helpful! The pegs are 5cm high.
Amazing review. Looks like a good laugh
Cheers buddy, yeah, it's a great game!
Nice video! I really think I will buy BtH after this 😅 ok which scale are the planes?
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. These planes are 1/300th.
@@StormofSteelWargaming Perfect 👍🏻 which Dimension have the bases/hexes from them mat? Really nice mat too
@@timo.9451 it's a one inch hex on a Deep Cut studios aerial mat.
Thx, very informative, as always. 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Please... I need to ask you what kind of squares is the best or the ideal one for World War II air combat games... hexagonal, square, rhomboid, etc... ? thank you very much.
It depends on the game, really. Bag the Hun uses hexes.

Can you post a link to the printable items, the Quick reference guide and the plane templates. Those are great.

@@StormofSteelWargaming Thank you sent in the access request
@@joewood2939 No bother, you should have access now and be able to download the files.
@@StormofSteelWargaming Thank you again. Cant wait to see the new cards you are making as well. Thanks for the great content.
You're welcome. I'm not making cards, but I bought some decks from Artscow, you'll find them amongst this list: dereksweetoys.com/artscow-cards-for-lardy-games/
First time I have see this game….very interesting. Where did you get the hex mat and the planes/stands?
It's a great game. the Hex mat came from deep Cut studios, although anyone who sells gaming mats will probably sell them. The stands I made myself from clear acrylic hexagon pieces and rods, with magnets attached to the top.
@@StormofSteelWargaming Looks good! Wha size are the hexes? Did you use the print-o-mat? If yes, which transparency did you use for the grid?
@@kaizimmer417 cheers, the hexes are 1 inch and I got the mat printed from Deepcut Studios where you can get the hex overlaid onto any of their mats. This one is the aerial mat.
Looks good, how would you compare it to Wings of War/Glory? Is it distinct enough to have both? The damage element sounds good.
Thanks. It's very different. Wings of War is a great game, but is a little vanilla compared to BtH, I've not played the WW2 version of WoW, though. BtH has much more thought put into the pilot's skills and how they react in combat, rather than the slightly mechanical aspect of WoW.

Quite enjoyed that battle.
Cheers, BtH is a great game!
Nice one. I was thinking about this game, having watched the review I am going to order the rules. Where is the mat from?
Cheers, glad you enjoyed the video. BTH is a great game, lots of fun. The mat came from Deep Cut Studios, but pretty much everyone who sells mats sells hex ones as well.
@@StormofSteelWargaming thanks Alex, got the rules, downloaded the cards, just looking at the mats, is yours a 1" hex grid? And are your planes 1/300?
No problem! Yes and yes! The planes are from Scotia Grendel, who have a good range of aircraft from across the Second World War at a good price. I'm sure you'll be printing yours though?
Also, you can get cards from Artscow, some people have made some interesting sets of BtH cards dereksweetoys.com/artscow-cards-for-lardy-games/

If only buffalo had met zeros in real life

Good one! Thanks! Play with them bombers next time ;)
Thanks! I'll have to buy some first!
