These are great. I love the road/fields scenery included in your terrain here, it feels like a real location. I don't know if you guys take requests, but your reports here have helped me get into a couple of games, and I'd love to see you take on the new edition of Five Parsecs From Home sometime! Keep up the great work!
Great to hear! I looked of Five Parsecs from Home. It's interesting. My only problem at this point is finding time to paint everything I have. :P Thanks for watching!
So happy to see some Bolt action again! Please keep it up your battle reports are awesome and your models and table are inspirational
Great to hear! Thanks for watching!
Excellent report, really helpful for those of us learning the game but also well edited to maintain interest. I look forward to seeing more.
Thanks Sam. Appreciate the comment. I noticed some things we missed but it’s all about having fun.
This was fun! Was glad to find a battle report for Bolt Action that is well paced and easy to follow while I paint.
Thanks! Trying to get another game scheduled.
Entertaining battle report! Your channel is the only one I can stand watching Bolt Action on, you have a knack for keeping it interesting. I just enjoy Chain of Command so much more.
Looking forward to your next video!
Thank you for watching. I will look up Chain of Command today. Seems to be a common theme.
Really good battle report quality and easy way to follow what is happening in the match! Keep sharing this good content with us! Also, cool models ;)
Thanks! Hoping for another one in the next few weeks.
Another awesome video, really love the pace, and as everyone has already said, your minis and terrain are impeccable, thanks.
Thank you for watching :)
Highly entertaining bat rep - nice and concise, all the points covered. One thing, the USA have as one of their national rules that they don't suffer the "minus 1" to their order test when bringing on reserves. Makes them so much more reliable. But yeah, great report, really enjoyed it. Looking forward to seeing more.
Thanks! I thought that was to their morale test. I’m not the expert obviously. :)
Love this!!! I’m new to BA and this is a great battle repot to watch, keep it up!
Awesome, welcome. I try to detail the moves for people trying to learn and so others can catch my errors. 🙂
Absolutely great report! Very enjoyable.
I appreciate it :)
Great narration and filming mate, really enjoyed that
Thanks! 🙂
Such a pleasure to see this kind of table, great looking game and superb armies as well, worth a new sub!
Thank you, sir. I 100% thought I was subbed to you but I found out I was not. That is now fixed! 😀
@@MiniatureGameMontage The same for me...😉😉...the mysteries of TH-cam!
Working my way through these! We’re going to make some bolt action reports soon and these are awesome inspiration! Great job!
Awesome! Can’t wait to watch them.
@@MiniatureGameMontage can’t wait to see more from you!! 😎
great video, short and to the point
Butter bar went down in the first round - 10 hit HE takes out a squad, epic gameplay and incredibly fun to watch. Also, great looking table!
Thank you as always! I appreciate you watching. 😀
I watched the entire thing and loved it!
Awesome thanks for the support! 😀
This doesn’t look like the underhive.. 🧐 but I’m here for it! Great bat rep, now I just need to look up the rules so I understand what’s happening.. 😅
Lol! Coming up next 😀 Bolt Action is a lot of fun. Probably my second favorite behind Necromunda. It’s another under appreciated game.
Great video! More Bolt Action please :)
You got it! Should have a good one coming up soon!
I am new to this game and find your videos very helpful.
Excellent. Thanks so much.
nice job thanks again
Awesome game to watch!
Oohh you've got some new terrain brother! Looks good!
Always a work in progress! 🙂
I feel like that Sherman got off easy haha
Great game guys, and wish my tiger did that good. 😁👍
Thanks bud! I need to get some more stuff painted before I run my Panzer IV in a more normal list. Always more to do 😀
Best battle reports in the game!
Thanks! :) I would be really happy with them if I could include more historical info
@@MiniatureGameMontage I think that the speed, together with nice models, good camera work and well explained rules is the key to succés. Stay true to your vision. Historical facts are easy to find for the ones that crave it. The battle reports with giggling men with shaky camera that last for over a hour is something i can never endure!
Great game and that is a fun mission to play
Thanks!
Great game to watch. Really interesting game. That one turn really swung it in the Germans favour.
Thanks, Marc! Agreed. It was really close until that happened. Many lessons learned in this one.
One thing I learn is that it is almost better to use the coaxial MG and other MG's (pintle and hull) against infantry than the main gun as you got better chances of casualties and hits. Now if said infantry is behind a wall or in a building then the main gun should be used. This is why I like my JSU-152 or Brummbar if I see a lot of infantry squads 4 + in an opponents force. As their heavy howitzers have a good chance at not only gashing infantry groups with their 4" templates for HE but also against supporting groups like mortars and howitzer/guns.
That’s a good call. When those HE shots hit they are brutal! But getting them to hit is a different story. Thanks for the tip!
Great report. I have been trying to figure out how to field a Tiger at 1k.
I don't think most people do but I'm a sucker for the looks of it!
bolt action is such a good game, clean and tactical with great wrinkles
I agree. On the surface it’s easy to grasp but very tactical.
great picture voice clear
Thanks, E-4!
Nice ferocious tiger tank
Thanks! I think it played well too. Did it’s job without stealing the show.
Great batrep 👌🏽 where did you get your Battle Mat from
Thanks! It’s the swamp mat from tablewars. Good multi-use mat.
@@MiniatureGameMontage thanks I’ll them out 🤩
@@Wicki53 tablewar.com/collections/fatmats/products/6x4swamp There you go. Back at my computer
Another great report. Snap to is better for Germans since their National characteristic increases the number of ordered units by one. The US would be able to have two units with a first lieutenant.. That would have helped hear.
I think you need more AT with all these big German tanks running around. Of course the other option is to just try and avoid them. Either way a tough nut.
I think you need new dice. Yours seem to betray you a lot. ;)
Do you glue these figures together or are they preassumbled when you buy them?
They come in a few pieces. Bodies, heads, arms, etc. They are glued together
There are no batreps including military police units, canine units, or pathfinder units. All my favs are absent!
Noted!
like the fact you go slow and tell us what is happening as I am new to this
Thanks! That helps people correct me in the comments as well. :) I felt like we played this one pretty clean.
I don't think the Sherman loses it's co-axial MG when it acquires a pintle mounted MG, so you should have been rolling 10 dice for that and the hull mounted. And the pintle mounted MG is a .50 cal HMG. It would have rolled 3 dice with +1 pen.
Thanks for watching. I don’t have my rule book handy but I thought when firing the main gun the tank can’t fire the coaxial MG. So I fired the main as HE then fired the hull and pintle MGs. I did not upgrade the pintle to an HMG to keep the points close for both sides. So it was an MMG. Cheers!
You are correct, main cannon OR the coaxial gun.
hi just wanted to know were you got the stone walls. thanks
I'm here for you bud. 🙂www.thingiverse.com/thing:1644469
@@MiniatureGameMontage is this were you buy them ?
@@paulpeine8355 it’s a free download and I print them myself. If you want to buy them you might try Etsy. I think they come from Terrain4Print (designer)
Are you using 2nd Edition rules?
Yes, trying to at least! :)
Is this Bolt Action 2nd Edition?
Yes we are using the 2nd edition rule book.
My factions is germany
It seems like these rules are inconsistent around whether high rolls are good are not.
Only order and morale tests I think. Lower is better. I guess you get used to it.
The rules in this game make no sense. You roll to hit, that means you hit, needing a 5 on D6 to then remove the unit seems excessive. The 5+ on a D6 should be for the save roll, you'd never actually shrug off a hit from a BAR, a pistol maybe. The tanks HE have area effect on the real deal, so a miss should then result in a direction/distance roll to see where the shell hits, then the ring used to see if anyone was caught in it's blast radius. SMFH
This game look wicked fun and cool but the rules make this seem like a huge luck roll fest rather than any actual thought process on how real ammunition works. No one has grenades? Infantry were the bane of Tanks in close combat and easily taken out when they got swarmed.
mi dispiace ma hai fatto una cazzata pazzesca a giocare un tiger.... costa troppi punti... devi cercare di avere più unità possibili.... con pochi punti a disposizione... poche unità sono troppo vulnerabili,anche se veterani.
giochiamo per divertirci :)
