Loved it! A fine game between mates. Love the layout. Excellent work on the figures to. And YES... we need MORE videos like this; nice friendly games. Reminds me of the old days playing Tricolor on the floor. lol. Keep it up bud.
Great battle report even if you have left us all wondering what happened. Black Powder and its derivative Pike & Shotte are very similar so I learned a great deal watching this...Ian
A great battle between two fine Gentlemen .. but you left us on a cliff hanger at turn 5 .... You have done brilliantly with those armies by the way, they look fantastic
Yeah sorry.. phone packed up lol.. it was close upto that point british in front 4/3 . But from there onwards the french commander made some bad moves. Game ended 12/5 win to me the british. My first win in 4 :). Thanks i really do like this period. And blackpowder runs it so well. 8 turns in 4hrs not bad going.
Very very entertaining! It is so good to see those minis and terrain in action. I enjoyed this whole vid. Too bad it stopped right in the middle of it! :D Cheers, T.
This is totally awesome, Nathan. That was a fun scrap to watch. Your terrain is fantastic and the troops are just amazing. Combined it's quite a spectacle. Your friend seems like a great opponent. And nothing beats the "sound" of cannon coupled with the sound of beer cans being opened and dice rolling! Brilliant! Cheers, Paul
Thanks paul... my phone was to full to film more lol. Close game upto turn 5 .. 4/3 to the brits. Then the french fell apart all across the front. Finished 12/7 to the british. I my first win :)
Great battle report mate, thoroughly enjoyed it :) Where the 33rd within 12" of the French on turn 2? If so they could have used an initiative move to get them in square ;)
They went into square... when they were charged by carabiners ... who left the table twice lol. The british held firm... then won the game 12/7 :). Thanks mate initiative move is great.. giving you a free move forward or backward too.
Yeah i meant to say line haha, the carabiniers are up to their usual tricks then ;) hurrah! Another win for Britannia and the French have been given a bloody nose ;)
fantastic looking figs on brilliant table, great battle report hope your keeping us in suspense i need to see more, "will the British hold or will those pesky French drive home there attacks and crush the valiant thin red line" :)
Cheers lol soz my phone packed up.. the french looked like taking it. But some really poor moves from the french commander, opened up a british surge. And i won the game 12/7. Cheers mate.
yes they get cover but only for the first round of combat.. keep trying different house rules. My mates all play it thete way too. so it keeps changing lol
Bigremy you can do a brigade order and attemt to move the whole brigade. You get a penalty to your roll, each move distance ykur commander is from his division/brigade/battalion.
It is difficult to watch these videos when the camera is all over the place. I just had to pack it in half way because my eyes couldnt focus anymore. May I suggest leaving the camera stationary.
why do you both do all your movements and then do shooting? I read the rules as player one moves then shoots, then close combat, then player two does the same and that is a turn. Am I doing it wrong?
Nope you are correct. I wish i had said at the begining of the vid. We change the game turns. Some times its the rule book way some times its as this vid. And some times alternate brigade activation. Cheers. Next vid i'll say hos we are playing cheers.
Would've liked it more if you shared some of your decision making with us. Be conscious of the fact you're being watched by people who want to know what you're thinking. As it was, found it a little voyeuristic (sadly, not in the kinky way). Keep 'em coming though :-)
Such a great game which you made both entertaining & instructive, A wonderful advert for BP as your clearly having a great time
THANKS,
Thank you

Awesome looking table and miniatures mate, watching this has definitely sparked my interest in black powder. Can I ask what size table this is?
Powdered Toastman Thanks table is just under 6 ft and bang on 8 ft mate. so really 6x8 cheers
Great battle report mate, thoroughly enjoyed it :) Where the 33rd within 12" of the French on turn 2? If so they could have used an initiative move to get them in square ;)
They went into square... when they were charged by carabiners ... who left the table twice lol. The british held firm... then won the game 12/7 :). Thanks mate initiative move is great.. giving you a free move forward or backward too.
Yeah i meant to say line haha, the carabiniers are up to their usual tricks then ;) hurrah! Another win for Britannia and the French have been given a bloody nose ;)
Joshua Swann to be fair.. the french commander..Rich fell apart in turn 5. ;) really bad moves lol
if inf charge a inf unit there get closing fire if there roll a 6 does the unit stop or can it still charge home thanks
fantastic looking figs on brilliant table, great battle report hope your keeping us in suspense i need to see more, "will the British hold or will those pesky French drive home there attacks and crush the valiant thin red line" :)
Cheers lol soz my phone packed up.. the french looked like taking it. But some really poor moves from the french commander, opened up a british surge. And i won the game 12/7. Cheers mate.
ahhh he he no worries, so a stiff brandy for the officers and an extra ration of gin for the boys good stuff lol :)
Adaminski41 yeah lol
Loved it , but who won :)
Smashing mate
Cheers mate. British won, it was 4/3 to brits at turn 5 i think. Then the french fell apart and lost... 12/7. My phone gave up to full lol
Are those 28mm miniatures? I have based my 1/72 scale 6 to a stand as you have. Looks great, i am just curious on the scale.
Cheers 28mm mate
Did you house rule cover in melee? As per rules, only the unit being charged gets the cover bonus (they are prepared behind cover).
yes they get cover but only for the first round of combat.. keep trying different house rules. My mates all play it thete way too. so it keeps changing lol
Love the video! Your accent, are you in the North of England? I live in Glossop, in Derbyshire and I'm looking for people to play 28mm with
Cheers mate.. from Nottingham mate. Just become part of a club thats started last month in matlock..
Ooh Matlock's just a tad too far out! :( Desperately looking for 28mm players!
Sam Fuzz takes me40 mins its on a sunday once a month. All day 10 till 5:30 :)
Can you attempt to move every unit you have when it’s your turn? I was always wondering if your men are out of range of your commander , what happens
Bigremy you can do a brigade order and attemt to move the whole brigade. You get a penalty to your roll, each move distance ykur commander is from his division/brigade/battalion.
Thanks for posting. I'm a big fan of BP as well (play ACW though) are you in the BP Facebook group?
Thanks.. and yes i am :)

Richard Caine sorry i just pick up my phone and take a vid. Its how i roll kid.

Are you play large units a 36 figs each ? Nice set up 👍🏻
Looks like a fun game. The miniatures look great. The editing is a bit wonky making it hard to watch. Never the less. Thanks guys.
cheers wonkey lol off my phone

Put the camera on a tripod.
John Lenin maybe one day
Looks like very nice painted figures, but you move the camera too fast and too high.
SlotraceDK yeah my bad.. sorry not a camera man. just a happy gamer cheers
