Lovely table, looking forward to watch the game! Just one quick thing that, as a german, always bothers me when I watch Bolt Action batreps: The german army, the "Heer", is not pronounced like the english word "here", but more like the word "heir", but with the "h" spoken out like in "heavy" or "hollow". Hope this little advice comes across as helpful and not as nitpicking =)
This was a lot of fun to watch. would you do a video on your terrain. I was able to watch your boarded construction video but an overview of where you get your buildings and trees, etc. would be terrific. Thanks for the channel!
@@ModellingforAdvantage Thank you mate I will be watching 🧐 lol. Quick question about Bolt Action . . . Nobody ever uses the planes, are the rules for planes truly so bad the units are unusable?
I don't think they are great, but not completely useless for US players who can get a bonus - that said - in a platoon level game they don't really fit that well either. That kind of close support is really dangerous and only really effective in the super late-war.
@@mikewoolnough3774 on this occasion it was the aliens and marines from "we're in the pipe five by five" expansion for the gale force nine aliens game. They were pretty nice to put together.... nice tiger kill btw 😉
You are probably right, but they are in the same team; do you know specifically in the rules where it says that spotters are not affected? Surely it disrupts the mortar's effectiveness when a team member, even a separate one like a spotter, is pinned.
@@ModellingforAdvantage(pg. 71, the green TOP SECRET box entitled "SPOTTERS")"The spotter is part of the mortar or artillery team but is always treated separately and is not one of the crew." It goes on to explain how they share an Order Die and how LOS works. The last paragraph begins with, "The spotter and the crew are treated entirely separately in other respects - as if they were two units..." Granted, it could be stated much more clearly
I think when you rolled for the Tiger morale when on fire, you just passed the test. I don’t think you should remove the pins with the double 1s. This only happens with an order test roll. Good game though, glad to see BA back on the channel.
grate game. it was really fun seeing the Kaiser get his shit pushed right in keep up the good work. any chance you gys will play beyond the gates of antarise

Yeah, got a bit salty!
@@ModellingforAdvantageall been there lol dice games
Dice were on fire for me this time.
Must have been some new experimental wire guided rocket 😂
Indeed!

Sooo..... Like Hair?
@@jbatchelor85 Well, almost. "hair" and "Heer" sound differently, but it would be at least closer to the german word than "here" =)

Thanks for the idea!
Are your recent battle reports in a playlist? I didn't know you uploaded this one until TH-cam recommended it to me
Apart form this one all the recent BA bat reps are in the combined arms playlist.

Salty Kaiser ;) On the plus side I managed to build 6 models during this episode so thanks :)
Oh, this game got under my skin ;)
Look forward to seeing your models.

Will be getting my Aliens expansions from Kaiser next time I visit. Love the Aliens game.
I’ve just painted up a very similar American airborne force with a bazooka and Hellcat might not have Mikes amazing 6 rolls however. 😂
Maybe the dice gods will favour you too!
Nice game lads.
One note though, in Round 1 when the Mortar spotter is killed, the pin does not go over to the Mortar crew, cheers!

I think you are probably right on reflection.

keep up the good work. any chance you gys will play beyond the gates of antarise
Sure was struggling to keep my cool in this one!
@@ModellingforAdvantage its a relatabul feeling. We all have times when the star unit gets wiped due to just phenomenal dice.
Do you guys play gates
@james-and-his-stuff we played a few games a couple of years back. It was alright, but no interest for it online sadly.
@@ModellingforAdvantage thats a shame. O well, thats the way it gos sometimes with games
Saludos desde Chile dakadakadaka, muy divertidos tus videos, te felicito
Excellent report! Rally that hellcat. Lol
