Nice scenario. Great game and interesting battlefield set-up. Another win for Olly.
He'll be back in sure
32:23 "Owww, Bloody pikes" I wonder how many times that was said in the British Isles between 1642 and 1651.
😅 haha this is true, I almost now imagine it as a motto on a flag 😁
Nice scenario. Interesting game and battlefield set-up. Another win for Olly.
Haha indeed, thanks for watching 😁👍
@@7thson726 i appear to have commented twice. I thought the first hadn't gone through. That's technology for you 😀
Great game! Inspires me to keep painting my ECW. I have a long way to go as I must paint both armies. As always, thanks for the great content. Appreciate it.
Thanks for watching, really pleased you enjoy the games 😁
Beautiful game - and lucky indeed is the gun that merely fizzles instead of exploding
Haha cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it 😁
This was a very good and funny game to watch. The scene when they bring up the rule book was hilarious. Like two policmen that stop you for a speeding ticket. 😀👍
Haha glad you enjoyed it buddy, hope you have a great Xmas and new year 👍
Some awesome pike and shot action. 👍
Thanks dude, there will certainly be more as well
Lichfield had the first large land mine to destroy the south east side of the south east corner of the Parlimentary held wall catherderal defences , first recorded land mine , dug by minners , in English history , . During another seige whilst the royalists held the catherdal a sinper called Dume Dyott killed the Parlimenray command Lord Brooke, from the main spire to the street below.
That would be a great scenario
Excellent game Gents!! Quite engrossing, well done to Miller on the
scenario with opposing forces coming at
All angles!! I think the Pike & Shotte rules
Work well. Many Thanks👍
Cheers Paul, really pleased you enjoyed it 👍
Took a while for me to get around to watch this, really enjoyed it. What Miller said was really right on, I was pleased and surprised by how much maneuver and flank & rear attacks were managed despite the smaller table. All those with similar circumstances should take note. I've got this Irish rebellion of 1798 project going and may try & integrate some of the "Pike & Shotte" rules into the "Black Powder" as so many of the Irish units were Pike armed. Very well thought out scenario that kept me guessing till at least near the end. Congratulations and thanks.
I'm really pleased you enjoyed it, a big part of why I put these on is to show that having a smaller table not need be restrictive if you just alter the way you play a little 👍😁
Very enjoyable - Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it 👍😁
Fantastic video!
Cheers buddy 😁🤟
great game report and a lovely table..Always inspiring !
Thanks very much 😁
Great report, always enjoy your bat reps. While I think you manage well with the table size (it's often easy to forget that these rules were written to be played with very large numbers of figures on a 10' or 12' by 8' table!) I'm still convinced that the BP stable of games play much better at a smaller scale if constrained to a 6x4. The ECW Epic release I think will cater for this will given the adjustments to unit layout; Naps I think they missed a trick by using the same base size / frontages as BP so while the mass effect is there, the table size problem remains (hence I decided to opt for half base sizes). Be really interested to see Epic ECW battles if you plan to go down that path, I know Miller is :)
Thanks l, appreciate it 👍
I know where you are coming from. I'm just very comfortable and happy with the games, changing the rules to suit and how they play. That being said though, I have got my eyes on the Epic set as i have a passion for the Swedes in the TYW 👍
Keep your eyes open though as there is another ECW game coming and we were on a wider board this time 😁
@@7thson726 Brilliant, as I said I really enjoy your videos and seeing what you do with the rules. It will be really interesting to watch your HC v2 vanilla play through too.
I guess as well, part of the figure / table size thing is down to the fact that I don't have any figures for ECW or WOTR at all yet (for Naps I went with Epic) so it's more a case of deciding, if we do jump in, what will suit us more in terms of cost, painting time and table size given the visuals that appeal to us. Had we already got a collection similar to yours in 28s I'd be more than happy with it and likely wouldn't even consider anything else. ECW I think is even more do-able at 28mm simply because of the size of the armies by comparison to Naps, same goes for the WOTR too really, and WOTR / 100YW do offer the opportunity for some fantastic (if time consuming) paint jobs in 28mm
Just a pity there's no way to progress from considering an army to fully painted army with a click of the fingers 🤔
Great battle. Keep up the great work :)
Thanks buddy, will do 😁👍
Another awesome battle report mate, always excellent.
Thanks dude, was alot of fun. Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks for sharing the game chaps.
More than welcome bud, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Great looking game guys. Gotta love pike!
Thanks mate 😁
Very nice redoubt. I thought by looking on the table that you will use PML. I did something similar with an attack on an redoubt by forlorn hope.Great report.
Thanks, really pleased you enjoyed it 😁👍
Great channel! Love the playthroughs. Plenty of flannel lads!
Thanks very much 😁
a great read of ER WARS , IS The Siege of Lichfield : A Tale Illustrative Of The Great Rebellion : By The Rev. W. Gresley, M.A. Lichfield.
by GRESLEY, W. (William Gresley) 1801-1876
I will check that out, thank you 👍
Very good game really injuring it 👍👍🤠
Thank you 😁
nice
Thanks mate 👍
Great looking table and game. I may "borrow" this scenario for an ACW game....
That would be great, glad you enjoyed it.
If we were to make one change it would probably be to reduce the number of Battalia the defender had by 1 so he has to pick which area he's going to defend when it arrives, to add a little morw urgency to the game 👍
@@7thson726 Tinkering with forces etc is one of the joys of wargaming.
great stuff a midlands seige , a good looking game ,The siege of Lichfield occurred on 8-21 April 1643 during the First English Civil War lICHFIELD HAD 3 SEIGES AS parts of the midlands was in a sort of no mans land situation . During the military action, the Royalists under the command of Prince Rupert successfully besieged the Parliamentary garrison of Lichfield in Staffordshire under the command of Colonel Russel.
Loyal and Ancient City: Lichfield in the Civil Wars Paperback - 1 Jan. 1987
by Howard Clayton , next year i,m hopeing to delive into the wars of THE ENGLISH REVOLUTION IN 28MM SCALE.
I remember staying in Lichfoeld and wandering about as there are still some buildings that bear the scars 👍
Awesome game! The 7 ft diaoganl makes defenatly a difference.
Miller has a burgundian army, hasnt he?
will we see maybe swiss vs burgundians in the future?
Cheers dude, im glad you enjoyed it. He does indeed, one day hopefully we'll see them in action 😁
Sword fighting with tape measures? 😉 Must've been serious to cover audio over with music.
Absolutely 😅
You have probably already mentioned this in a previous video, but what base sizes do you use for your units?
So the musketeers are on 60 x 45s and the pikes are on 80 X 80 roughly. I use Big Red Bat bases, the FK&P 6 mainly 👍
I would love to play this game, but I'm on the west coast of the USA and not many people out here are into wargaming in my area.
What part of the west coast? I am in Los Angeles and play.
I'm glad you enjoyed it 👍 i know we have a few people from the USA im the PCP Facebook group, may be worth having a look and seeing if any are local
What's the scale?
These are all 28mm 👍
