I loved the line from your wife "I realised what was wrong, I didn't have any wine". Thoroughly enjoyed this video, relaxed, humorous and interesting.

I was really starting to miss these battle reports! I'm still not sure how you talked Hayley into it... but it's wonderful! By far my favorite battle reports for Black Powder are the ones you two have given us through this pandemic!

You three are hilarious together, I'm including the rocket battery in that as they are clearly a major part of this channel.

Fantastic battle report mate. Really great to watch. Never seen you roll so good. 🤣👍

Great battle report with great editing. Ty both.

Oh dear Martin you do realise that unless you make it up to Hayley you really have lost. Great battle well done get yourself a beer and gloat quietly in a corner somewhere out of sight

Best historical batreps on youtube, period! Great Terrain, very well painted Minis and easy to follow; simply lovely to watch! Thank you!!!

A great battle report very entertaining

Another great battle report. Thought I’d mention which might have saved your Cuirassiers, cavalry never hold ground after combat. They would have retired 1 move in 7+ so won’t have been broken in turn 2. But as a mainly British player I was glad to see them go 😁 And the Highlanders combat, they kept winning the battle so hitting on 3+ (nothing for obstacles) but French would have got the obstacle +1 save (2+ saves). Once again another excellent report 👍

Great battle report! These are always fun to watch

Great stuff again. Victory must taste all the sweeter after a half dozen defeats Martin!

Excellent. Missed the Black Powder battle reports.

Great battle report. Excellent to see all the units on the game table. Very fun.

You are very good at staging these games! Very professional! They are exciting to watch!

Brilliant ,roll on next report

Awesome stuff as usual guys! Very entertaining...thank you! It's inspired me to finish painting my Curaissiers!

Thanks for holding the game and videoing it and editing it, and including explanations for the dice rolls, and the rolls themselves! A large effort but worthwhile I hope. Good to see the rules in use and how a typical full game goes.

Great battle report, really captured the open plains kind of battle, those french assault columns are deadly!

Another fantastic battle report. Keep then coming! Beautiful to see the Napoleonics on table and great way to help people learn the rules. Well played Hayley. Get him next time! Lol. 🙂

Greetings from Georgia. I’m one of your new subscribers and wanted to thank you very much fir your work. I’m also a KZfaq producer as of late and no what goes I to it. You are super professional and love your style. Totally authentic and genuine. You have taught my club to play black powder and I thank you. Love Haley too btw. What a nice couple!

A well narrated battle report. That one French battalion who were stood next to the wall were epic, they absorbed a beating and stood fast. Easily the unit of the game. The French had some lucky dice rolls while the British were unlucky. Causing the French to be stubborn while many British units were routed. However I reckon the French could have done a lot more… in the second half of the game, the Swiss unit, the 2 French artillery batteries and the Chasseur cavalry didn’t do anything.

Brilliant as always. Some really lucky and unlucky rolling on both sides, great game. Cheers for keep putting these reports out, clearly appreciated by many.

Continue the good battle reports. You inspire us here in Greece to start Play again!! 🙃😃

Awesome slugfest mate! great looking table great looking minis😊👌

Pure carnage, love it! You should add (insert GIF of Paul Dano from War & Peace shouting "I challenge you!") a new unit to each side for the next one.

Another excellent battle report! Nice too see you win for a change lol.

love the battle reports and table and miniatures ! also kudos to a amazing wife! that's awesome she plays with you. keep up the great content.

Across the pond my wife and I play miniatures and roleplaying games together too. Good to see it.

Love the vid and you guys rock!!

Very cool battle im sure L' Emperor is proud (for once lol)

Really enjoyable battle report for me as a newbie to Napoleonic gaming. Those red dice need a good talking to though. 😄

Outstanding battle!

Cracking work! Loved it! During covid ive managed to paint up a french and british force from the starter set! Still itching for my first game!

That looked like great fun, all the best, mGarry

Excellent battle... well done Martin. The use of the attack column plus fair dice worked really well for you. All the British could have done is to have held back in line and poured fire into them.

Good match. Sorry Hayley, Every dog has its day!

@ 26:00 now that I've got wine, everybody moves............ cracking funny!!!! She's a winner!

Great battle mate. A victory for the french at last.

Great Game Guys, bit of the slug fest! MVPs for the French were the Big Brothers and that Line Battalion seeing off two Regiments of Hanoverians and the Highlanders. Don't you just love rockets?!!....Martin, bugger the coffee Mate, I'm with Hayley, watched and enjoyed with a large(3 fingers) of Gold Watch, Cheers Guys🥃

I'm not normally a fan of Black Powder, but that was really well done. Great game.

Reliable Rocket: *explodes in face* lol

Keep up with the Blackpowder reports, as good as ever 👍🏻

Amon Amarth tee tonight... So... I'm thinking appropriate song would be.... Tattered banners and bloody flags.

I both love and hate rockets, they seem to hit friendlies as often as enemies (or themselves) but they're so fun for that.

Another great report guys - enjoyed it very much. Have got my first game tomorrow!. Remember Marty only one thing worse than a poor loser ..... a poor winner!! lol

Very nice battle , well played. You know you have to go buy Haley something pretty now. That’s only if you want her to play again. LoL. 😂🤣😂. Stay safe . ☮️&💟.

Excellent, I’ve waited for ages for a new battle report to come out 😁 These are amongs my favorite on the entire YT. Shame it isn’t ACW (because that’s my period of BP😅). On the other hand, 10:58 when the Hannoverians are attack at their flank I’m pretty sure thr BP2 rules state that you can’t attacl with more than 50% of your attack to the flanks. Please correct me if I’m wrong on this 😅.

A woman playing a tabletop wargame. Who seems to actually be interested in it. And she's cute to boot. That's some convincing CGI you have right there.

Great game again, loved it, a very much deserved victory martin, vive la france, en avant mes ami, oops sounded like ken then, comiserations hayley well played though and a great sport as usual, thanks again for taking the time and effort to make these vids for our viewing pleasure, kind regards iain, oh I'm not blaming you martin (yes i am) but i just bought a job lot of dead mans hand, just saying.....

I couldn't believe that a column can be charged in the flank and not be in the slightest way bothered. No moral checks nothing, just turned and fought back with a positive modifier! A quick check of the rules shows a couple of issues. One, -1 die roll in hand to hand if attacked in the flank. Two, there is no mofifier that I can see that gives the French Column a +1 save for fighting over a wall. Good video though, keep it up.

Great game. It had to happen eventually!

Nice job guys , lots of people looking for Warhammer alternatives ! Hope your still playing

Can i poiny out how incredibly lucky you have beennwith cuirassiers? If your better half would have done at least 1 casualtybon the closing fire, you would have had to take a break test in the hand to hand table. The best result for cavalry is to retire one full move, which would have left you like a sitting duck in short range of the artillery and the hanoverian brigade. It was a glorious charge tho!

awesome game

Hey y'all, great to see you & enjoy your Black Powder battle report. It was really cool to see a battle with an enviable number of troops for both sides. Pity the table size didn't allow a bet more maneuver before the smashing of bayonets but I enjoyed the manifestation of sort of a stage 2 of the battle where the French sort of backed off the emphasis of hand to hand, which was fairly successful, in order to form line & pound the already fairly cut up British formations through to the end of game. I commend you on your ability to call the game and particularly the dice rolls, why the number of dice being rolled and the required number to hit or save etc., very impressive. Finally, I hope you'll forgive me for saying how nice Haley looked without her glasses so we could see her eyes which are lovely. 7th son looked okay but what can you say about the top of your head? The glasses are fine but reflect too much light to see her eyes underneath. Thanks again, I look forward too your next video.

Hayley, you were robbed!! You won in the best dressed player stakes.

super battle and I believe you won, or did Hayle let you??? its amazing what happens when the dice Gods are with you !!!

Never mind Hayle I'm sure he rigged that somehow, make him suffer 🙄

Good game, rockets was a laugh. You forgot to do the cavalry against the square

Great game guys, very enjoyable to watch.I’d check those dice Haley.But where was the cat?

I would love to see you do a meeting engagement where all of the units start off board and enter semi-randomly to fight over a crossroads and a small village.

Great battle report, a nail biter for sure! Hey Martin, where did you get the mdf shaken markers?

Very good 👍 ( Vive l’Empereur 🇫🇷 lol )

Great video and very useful rule summaries as you work out the results. Do you play vanilla BP or are you using the supplements.

Really enjoyed this battle report! Is there anything you change to make Black Powder work better with your table? Was originally put off the game by the need for massive tables but yours doesn’t look too big unless camera angles are changing it? I’m currently building a room to get a 6x4 in.

Hi, Great bat rep again, thank you both. I noticed that in some combat hits you seemed to miss 6’s causing Disorder? Was this just an oversight or a deliberate house rule? Cheers!

Great report thanks but the highlanders were in attack column, behind a wall and hitting in the flank, they should have won the combat

Great set up, what size table do you use.

Nice looking set up. I was wondering where you got those stone walls?

Thanks for the battle report! Could you tell me the size of the table and the standard infantry unit frontage?

The French also was shaken you forgot to add casualties.

What is your British units as I’m starting a collection on my Waterloo and just confused on what to buy to get my British?

I gotta add a rocket battery to the shopping list, love a good mishap table. Need some more Hanoverians as well - my only regiment is painted up as the Luneberg who kept the old green uniforms, was going crazy from all the British in red.

Great game! The french columns seem powerful... Don't they loose all bonuses after the first round of close combat? (looking at that big combat in the middle...)

Would you be able to do a list of the tokens used as i would like to order some.

where did you get your snazzy dice tray?

Great game as always but Haley could have moved her Hanoverians on iniative as the Cav was so close

Full disclosure, I have BP, but not BP2. So can the cuirassiers do a sweeping advance, to the left and into infantry? Not trying to be snarky and I don't have the rules set that you are using. Thanks

sorry meant closing fire

What movie are the video clips from?

Where do you get your scenery from mate ?

Why do you have the Swedish coat of arms on your dice trey?

Curious... @48;30. Why do attack columns get a bonus against volley fire, then attack columns offer a large market?

hi does an incoming fire casualty get counted along with the first round of hand to hand?

where did you get your tokens?

Attacking in the flank does not seem to cause any combat penalty? is that right?

Why the Swedish dicetray? - curious swede

Почему пехота, не строилась в каре, при атаке или приближении кавалерии? Насколько я помню, в правилах, это было обязательно.

skirmisher can support only skirmish unit?

Why is the Santa still up on that mirror?

Is there a reason you guys never try to do... Brigade orders? I think that's it. There's a few times where I've seen both of you basically issue orders individually to battalions that are essentially the same but then it cocks up due to a failed command role with the 2nd battalion and the whole brigade but one just sits there.

Poor Haley her dice sucked. Fun game though

Getting saves in this game is weird. Maybe cuirassiers and the like should but everyone getting them is odd.

Did you wife play wargames before you got together or has she been drafted ?

Hate the rules for saying units fight at full strength even if taken in the flank...in Ricks previous set WMA those Hanoverians would have got about 2 dice to attack with....much more realistic

I really enjoy this battle. I really like your style of showing the action. I hope you don't mind if I point out some things that I think are mistakes. At the top of the hills the battalion only hits with a maximum of 1/2 to the side so only 3 dice against the cavalry for been hit on the side page 69 and -1 to hit back because they are attacked on the flank page 68
