Nice Aussies. The colours look right, although the pattern is off (I served in the RAAC). Probably would have been better off keeping more distance with the leopards where possible to keep some advantage.
Nice work running through the rules as you go - but I think a tripod would be a worthwhile investment rather than flinging the camera around ! Teriffic looking forces though, cheers :-)
Thanks! I'm trying not to move the camera so fast and I do have a tripod I can test out with. I know some people like the feel of the POV. I don't like the top down camera view that some people do since you lose too much detail of the game/battlefield.
Big thumbs up for the immersive view - depending on how much production you have time to put in, having two cameras (one static overall + POV) that you can cut between would be great. Looking forward to the next one :-)
Generally its based off who is available and when for recording. Initially I was going to do a TY game every other month, alternating with flames of war, but starting next month I plan to upload at least one TY report a month.
After Cobra shot at Aussie Abrams on the first try, the result should have been one dead Abram tank, not one dead and one bail. The Aussie player rolled a 2 to tie against the Cobra's AT 21 missile. Iranian failed FP roll to bail the tank. As for the HQ commander swapping/moving to another tank after losing its original tank, it is only automatic if there is a surviving member in the HQ unit. For this game situation where both tanks of the HQ unit were destroyed, you need to roll a 3+ for the HQ commander to survive to another TANK team of another tank unit whether it is a M60, T-62, BMP-1or Shilka. As long as there is a tank team within 6 inches of the HQ tank, the HQ can hop over to that non-dead tank. As for the Iranian infantry assaulting the bailed out Leo 1, all four Leo 1 tanks were destroyed, not 2. There would have been no survivors. Since the other the three bailed out Leo1 tanks were unable to move 6 inches away from the assaulting troops, they are automatically "captured" and hence destroyed.
Yea the first cobra shooting I think later on I mentioned we did it wrong but it only slowed the Iranian loss. Hmm it seems I have been mistaken all this time. I was just double checking the rules and I remember reading that the HQ unit does not have a leader. That is not true and I have no idea where I remember hearing this. I always thought that it was the HQ teams that counted as commander's (CO and XO) and counted for both re-rolling. Unfortunately I have quite a few games recorded as is with this mistake (mostly in Flames of War) that will have this mistake. Thank you for pointing this out and it will be corrected in the future. The Leo 1 Assault. PER THE RULEBOOK The other 3 bailed out Leo1's were from a different unit. Break off only states that a defending unit must move 6" away. The 3 bailed out Leo1's were not part of the assault at all, despite being within 6". HOWEVER in the FAQ they do say that you are correct that those leo1s should have been dead. Since I did not have the FAQ on hand at the time of the record we are...both right?? Thank you for pointing out these rules mistakes! Having an outside perspective really helps pick out the little things I had thought I had nailed down.

Very nice battle report. Really like how y’all talk through the rules. When is the next one?

Great model!!! Interesting lists! mgAA rule can shoot at helicopters
For sure but then you cant fire main guns and the Abrams had much better targets to take out.
