- My Friend Andrew paid a visit to the Nerd Cave and brought his amazing Stalingrad terrain to play on. We played a modified version of Heartbreak Ridge with random end of turn element as well.
lol the flamethrower KV2 battle. it reminded me how much i love playing bolt action.
Awesome looking table! One of the best I've seen ever. I liked the dynamic of the FUBAR dice. It really changes the way you have to play and pushes players to play the game more than the rules.
Please play another game on this Stalingrad map .. it looks awesome !!!
Super cool table. Its your battle reports that got me into bolt action. Now I'm building british commandos and 2nd SS.
Dude.... that board is next level... great bat rep!!
What an absolutely amazing table. The work going into the terrain was very well worth it. Thanks for the report and the great eye-candy.
The battlefield ... that scenery ... wow. So many awesome buildings.
Excellent Stalingrad table.....
Thanks for the nice battle thinking of getting the bolt action Stalingrad set :)
Out of this world table. Great game folks.
Beautiful table! Wow! Epic battle, too. Thanks for this!
Fantastic terrain to watch a game being played over. Another great Bolt Action game.
This is taking my mind off of the news.
Awesome scenery guys! Wow...
Great back and forth game, excellent terrain. I'm definitely gonna try the turn dice mechanic next time I play!
Wow fantastic looking table.... amazing!
That is a very well made table, lots of hard work there but totally worth it. Good video guys, I really enjoyed watching this while I paint my German infantry
Fluffy Gutts agreed. Andrew and Dan did a great job on this board. And this is only part of it. There is enough to cover like a 12’ table.
Wow What a table What music !!! Great! fantastic!
Just stumbled upon this and oh my! What a gorgeous table! This is one of the most beautiful battlefields i've ever seen for BA, but looking at the scenario rules and armies composition, i fear it will almost be a one-sided battle...
Impressive looking game. Always love a Bolt Action game too
great battle report and awesome terrain. absolutely loved it! keep it up.
matt rendar thanks Matt! 🍻
Your table is as-sto-ni-shing! Furthermore fantastic game !
Cracking looking game!
Nice video
With regards to the Fubar dice ,
We had a similar mechanic when we played arc of fire..Scott Fisher and the guys put two cards in the deck for the activations the first card would read get ready for something to happen and then the second card obviously would say Something Happens then we would roll on a chart for the last activated unit would either have a good or bad thing depending on what you roll ...it was a random events chart
It was only activated if you pulled out the two cards in order if you pulled out the Random event card before you pulled out the get ready for something to happen card then nothing happened .. it was kind of way to mix things up it was really fun very similar to Sharp practice events table
I can just imagine how the KV-2 would try to smush the kubel with it's HE shell, then missing the escapeing crew at point blank, before the MGs killing them off
Amazing diorama...10/10.
great table! epic battle!
Epic ! Bravo for the game
That is really amazing terrain! ***
I know
Awesome terrain
You should play another city or village game. This was good.
Good intensely played game.
Man I miss playing this
Hey Travis, after a slow start the Red Army has steamrolled the Germans. Good game, ;-)
I feel the fubar dice makes it more similar to CoC with that not everyone gets to activate each turn. I think if you play like this the snap to action will be more useful.
Really nice terrain and I really like BA. I just hope they fix disapearing HE when you miss in the next edition. It really makes HE really hit or miss. I would like it more if it scattered if it missed.
Andreas Haij it definitely makes snap too much more important. And knowing you have those fubar dice in there would make you want to spend more for a higher leader
The tank gun is so big but the Kubelwagon is sooo small....
Adding and end of turn die really improves BA. We also use 2 such dice in the bag with the first one out been called the Warning Shot. Why do you give the player who has just gone a free go at that point? Would it not be fairer to give it to the player who did'nt just go?
Norman Wood you could do it either way. Letting the last player activate gives them a slight edge for a little while
Most excellent. I was wondering what type of materials were used for the building walls?
Tom S. They are just made of the foam boards. Everything is really light
Thanks! The battle was totally Awesome too!
Excellent stuff, guys. Do continue your videos. How did you make all this rubble? And out of what?
Владислав Сухорученков I think they are just modeling bricks. Little pieces of plastic
@@tabletopcp thanks for the report and for the answer.
What are you using for all the brick and debris? Could you share info please?
Hambone571 Andrew cast those from a mold
A cool variation on the rules, though it seems to me that loading the bag with extra order dice consisting of smaller units could be exploited unless some sort of house rules are incorporated. Fielding smaller units is normally a disadvantage (Morale checks, HE and assault vulnerability) but in a game where the opponent might not even get to activate their full complement of units it seems less disadvantageous.
John Doe I guess if you were looking to exploit the rules you could. But if people just make a normal list it isn’t a problem
@@tabletopcp Very true. You guys are always very sporting in the games I've watched, so no problems there. 😀
This table is so cool. How did you do the rubble that is not part of the buildings? did you buy some stones and just poured them over the battlefield while setting up the table?
I think the rubble is just little bricks that Andrew made.
@@tabletopcp thanks for the response. did you just throw it on the table and sweep it up after the game or is it glued?
@@maltemenger5620 yeah its just thrown on there. Collected up at the end and put into a baggie.
That was a great game on some fantastic terrain. You could use that for just about any bombed out city. You could even use that for those diabolical Nazi zombies and werewolves. Have you thought about playing one of your modern special operations games on that board? Very cold war James Bond.
His coughing makes me nervous
Interesting BA report. Have you tried CoC on it?
D E we have not. But next time we break out the terrain we will play CoC
Yeah never mind the guy with the cameras incredibly lucky rolls but the fact that he ALWAYS seems to neglect rules when they don’t favour him. Where do I even begin. He gave advantages to himself and screwed the other guy for firing/hits, (I’m sure he did the math wrong more than once and it favoured him each time) including giving himself an extra hit when attacks the guys mortar, he didn’t give some of his own units pins, you can’t back a vehicle up and turn, not to mention a KV1 is “slow”, probably neglected that as well, I saw at least once where he didn’t tell the guy he wasn’t rolling enough dice due to “Hitlers buzzsaw” rule, and the final assault you can’t assault with two units at once and I’m sure the guy would of gotten defensive fire there, then as far as the whole game goes and not counting turns, how does that work?! Having way more Russian infantry pretty much guaranteed him the win with the way he set up the game. The guy seems to roll lucky and then cheat on top of it. I mean with unlimited turns... he could of just drove around with his KV1 after taking out the flamethrower and it would of pretty much been invincible and with unlimited turns he could of just sat back and only sent his tank forward to kill everyone. I see exactly what he did this to make it that it was almost impossible to lose the game. What a D bag. Wish I could play him sometime, dude would be in for a rude awaking.
Dude i see you on almost every video that they made. And the only thing that you do is complain and nag.
