BANZAI

"Dear Margaret. Another day fighting through Italy. I miss you terribly. The chaps and I were pushing along a riverbed towards the enemy and, blow me down if Im not sure I saw a 40 foot cat leap over the hedge row Infront of me and sniff the local church"

YES!! A MORDIAN GLORY BATTLE REPORT! It has been far to long! BANZAI!

Litterally just painting up my new french WW2 figures as this was published!

I absolutely love your Bolt Action BR

Hey Mordian, it’s great to see other games systems on the channel! Might I recommend you the awesome game called Men Who Would Be Kings? It’s a fun system and myself and my mates have been having a blast playing British vs Zulu narratives

mordy, you cheeky bastard. you did a video a few days ago on the army you brought today XD

Will the Italians switch sides halfway through the battle report?

This is so cool. I literally just got my ordered italians and build my own italian army. :D

Magnificent work Mordian!

Makes me want some pizza while I’m watching this now 🍕

The Webley is a beautiful piece of mechanical genius. Good choice!

Have you considered looking at konflikt 47? By the same company as bolt action and uses many of the same infantry models but has a bunch of diesel punk and ww2 conspiracy sci fi weapons sprinkled in with late WW2 units like literal nazi zombies, laser turreted panzer IVs werewolves, clunky walkers, 10 foot dr who robot infantry etc…

I haven't seen an old metal Radiator like that in forever. We don't have 'em in the U.S. except in really old houses.

Love the BA battle reports. Much fun to be had.

Mama mia! Whata mistakea to makea!

The new Italian rules in Case Blue are pretty good, could be worth trying them out.

Very fun to watch!

15:36 seeing the cadia stands box peeking out from under the bolt action table made me chuckle

minute 1:32:31 , I think ab41 can shoot both mmg (coax and rear hull mounted) if they point something to shoot

8:03 the Italians are lined up like a pizza 🍕

That river is glorious terrain. Lovely.

Bolt action action Banzai !!

Lads just wanted to help the algorithm with a comment (haha) but mainly to compliment your narration! Don't know what it is but you've got one of those voices , it's like you know them, like someone you know, or someone famous off the telly, you know what I mean? perfect for tabletop game description because you always sound excited and ready for a laugh. It keeps it interesting even when some elements of tabletop gaming can appear a bit nerdy and dull to non game players etc, (NOT US of course!! Lol I can watch someone reading the phone book as long as there's ww2 on the cover hehehe.) But anyway , keep up the good show, keep your infectious enthusiasm, and your thsnk brilliant mate to play against. Your friendship shines through and helps make it watchable too. Cool armies , cool tables . Just ...cool! 🤣

That Italian army will be brutal with the new faction rules in Case Blue.

While the Italians don't have a Halftrack, they do get the amazing Autoprotetto S37 which is Perfect for transporting Guastatori. 7+ armor, 8 man capacity and wheeled movement.

Im pretty sure the 25pdr is the contempory gun at the time replacing the 18pdr which would still be in use by less important unita etc. And the 25pdr stayed in service until 1960 or 70 something when ever the current gun replaced it.

If I can ask what is your opinion on the Stuart, specifically the VI version with heavy frontal armour, and it can be recce. Seems its all you could want in a armored support for your infantry, with plenty on machinegun fire and not too expensinve at 145 points? Same with a jeep for 40 ish with 2 lmg's? Been playing with my canadians and they are stellar. Oh and another thing, if you got a chance to play with miniwargaming? They did some bolt action games and i like you both. Would be so fun to see you together. Cheers for another great video.

It is great to see Italians on the tabletop!

Think you can only reverse in a straight line

Oh no, I'm too early!

A Boy ATR with à Cromwell in the same army? The ATR was not retired when the Cromwell entered the war in late 44?

Just to pick up on your comments on Shermans and Cromwells. By 8th army, do you mean in the North African campaign? If so, the Shermans in North Africa would have bean mostly Mk II's and III's - the V would come later, so maybe that would be right for 44/45 in the Italian campaign - I usually associate the V with Northern Europe but obviously a 75mm Sherman does the same thing in Bolt Action, regardless of the exact mark (well mostly). The Cromwell was too late for the desert and I think it was only in Northern Europe but in Bolt Action it doesn't matter unless you're trying to be historically accurate

Who makes the stream set that you use?

Don’t forget the Italians made stylish uniforms too , Hugo boss made the SS uniforms. Evil but stylish

im thinking of collcting italians (since im half italian lol) are they good army to collect, i know their tank sucks

🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🦑

Must be kiwis...

please don’t say “gustatori” is “guAstatori”, you have to say THE A LOUD

Great stuff! More Japanese please!!
