Enjoyed watching as I just picked up an Italian Starter army. Italians started with a lot of armor but it is tough when outgunned.........
Very interesting, I like the way you guys present the game, easy to understand and follow.
Great video, loved the Western Desert rules and the Italians vs. 8th Army.
Listened whilst painting my own desert Commonwealth! Very inspiring.
Great report and WHAT A GAME!!
Great game! That artillery barrage really was the tipping point. Up until then the Italians seemed to have the momentum.
Always love thematic rules. Really adds to a game.
Man those Matilda's are impressively impregnable.
Just a rules thing, at 1:00:20 Because your armoured car is open topped it can be pinned via small arms fire. Page107. Much love and keep up the great work .
Another good one. Very entertaining
Cheers Fred🍻
what a beautiful table and well played game😃
This game was awesome and I love the setup 😍 great stuff! I'm new to the channel so I'm glad I found it. Subscribed 😉
Welcome aboard!
Great scenario and well painted armies. Quick rules comment: gun crews down to one, or two, crew, do not get the small team modifier that infantry get. The rationale is that they will stick close to the gun, thus remaining well observed targets.
Makes sense. Thanks for the heads up.
Hi there, where does it say this?
I got my battle report for North Africa done I’m always having trouble with the tank battles in Bolt action.
That was fun. Love throwing in special rules, changes the game plans. Seems like the 8th
had a dozen more die.
I think they had two more dice. But the Italian losses amplified that
35:45 he rolled a 5 and a 6 to damage the British armored car. The 5 would have been a glance, not a pen.
Good game. Note a gunshield (eg on 25 Ib'er) gives a +1 to toughness vs small arms fire.
Someone in that artillery battery is getting a promotion!
Not bloody likely!
I'm probably a little late to weigh in on the short rules sentiment right at the end of the game, but anyway: I think the rules that you have to roll a dice and have to roll above the turn number to run the whole 12" could be used to represent something else then desert heat. You could use it to represent general exhaustion, your troops are deployed for an extended amount of time and they become more tired every turn. Or worsening weather conditions, like an upcoming storm or something like that. Plus it could get quite hot in other theatres as well; a hot summer day in Italy, France or Russia can get pretty exhausting, too (I mean, I'm not really an outdoor-guy, but whether you are in a 38°C degree heat or 50°C heat, it wears on you anyway? (100°F or 120°F for my american friends)
From a gaming perspective, it does make missions like the supply grab more interesting because you can't sit back and wait for the very last moment to strike.
You guys make really awesome videos, I'm starting with Bolt Action, had a few games so far and is really fun! I'm learning quite a bit watching your battle reports, thanks for that!
Travis, You need to get some 1/50 scale Italian Jeeps. I got one from a seller on e-bay
Your 2nd FT attack was a hit on a 2, as you didn't move, no pins, & was point blank range.
My fav channel...... Kiwis?
Fuck yeah.
Amazing paint job on these. Where did you get the small base extension for your NCOs and Officers?
Got ‘em off eBay years ago. I don’t think these particular ones are available any more. But you can get similar ones in the 3d print world.
Hi. What tire sizes did you fit front and rear? Any modifications needed? I want to fit saw tooth tyres to my t100 but I’m stumped at the moment. Thanks
Blood bath, swing one way then the other, that over the top barrage really was a game changer.
The Hills are sweet, do you have a video on how you do those? I'm assuming you use felt maps.
Andre made some hula from wood. Rounded them off. Sanded them down. We placed them under the game mat
@travh20 I was thinking of getting some dense foam and doing that. I'm guessing the felt mats are best, the mouse pad ones I think wouldn't work as well.
@@marcmiddleton2277 felt is the only type that will work for draping over hills. mouse pad no way
My prefered minis are Peter Pig
How about a 2,000 point game, but half must be allocated to tanks?not many extra order dice when you think about it,could be fun
Hi There :) from where did you get the mission Pack,… i like it a lot :) Martin from Denmark :)
This is the Bolt Action Alliance 2023 mission pack. Search Bolt Action Alliance mission packs. They have one from 2020 I believe they is really good too.
What podcasts do you recommend for bolt action stuff. Many thanks
I like the Cast Dice podcast. Bacon Burgers. SNAFU.
I am sure the armies are ready, but have you been preparing and practising with the dice? The source of the missions does not get a mention below!!! Sounds like you need to visit your local Italian restaurant with the rule book to get your Italian phrases sort out!! Did you use the gun shield rule for the 25pdr?
I don’t have a source for the mission other than Brad who sent me a photo of it. I did hide behind the gun shield but it didn’t do any good 🙁
Your paint jobs are great, your tables always look great, you always do a great job explaining the flow of the game. Love the channel! That being said, 3D-printed stuff just doesn't look good.
which company are the Matilda Tanks, please?
These are 3d printed
I thought artillery didnt get the benefits of small team?
Quite possible
1:12.22 Your flamethrower should have hit on a 2. I don't know, it seems like you fudged a bunch of things unporpose in order to be nicer to your friend Steve. Moving a ranged in mortar that could have killed two men and add pins is an obvious bad move. The extra pin or two would certainly have helped Steves squad fail the morale check from your flamethrower - the one that hit on a 2. Also, the 1" template was covering three men, they were down so that would have hit two, not 1 as Steve said.
Hi Travis, as much as I like you, your crew and the channel. This one is just bad, you had 1260 points against 1060 points, and on top the better AFV, no softskin vehicles. The Italians are srewed up all over the place, what sort of honourable victory is this?
Just trying something different. In the end it was pretty close. Came down to one failed order
