I'm just starting to get into MESBG and love your channel. The formula you have for your batreps is *chef's kiss*. I love how you only show important dice rolls, have a quick summary of each phase with some visual notes, and then wrap up each round and the game with some thoughts and a wrap up. I have watched a lot of batreps, and I think you've unlocked the perfect formula here. I look forward to viewing more. Thank you!

Excellent report, especially for your first one! The model counter in the corner was really nice so we always have a sense of where the battle is sitting. I thought the little speech bubbles and overlays were fun, too. Finally, right around 30 minutes is an excellent length. You should be proud of this!

Really enjoyed this. Great looking models, nice table, good commentary plus crazy editing and special effects. I don't even want to know how long it took to edit this video. Really good work. Small thing I really liked was the Heroic Stat bubble. That really helped follow along. Too bad for the Corsairs, but that's what happens when a big hero stays on his mount for the entire game.

Enjoyed this unique format of battle report! Especially liked the post game stats at the end, as you don’t normally see that in any reports! I think at 500 points I’d have made a few changes to the corsairs of Umbar! I think I much prefer to go 100% throwing weapons. Those daggers normally win me so many games!!

@intothewestpodcast Жыл бұрын

Thanks! I like throwing daggers too, but unfortunately without winning priority it was hard to take advantage of this game!

@Scartenable Жыл бұрын

I think Evil lost a massive chance at 7:03. If Evil had disengaged that would have been 3 crossbows and 6 throwing weapons (1 with Might) into Boromir. Very high chance that would have been a dead horse and no heroic combat. Crazy high quality report, guys, keep it up!

That's a good call, I did think briefly about not fully committing to the charge that turn but I hate being backed up in this particular scenario. In retrospect, it probably would've worked out better for me. Thanks for watching! -Richard

Really enjoyed this format, sorry it’s taken so long to get round to it! My only slight criticism was the number of ads - it felt near constant!

@intothewestpodcast Жыл бұрын

Fair criticism, I'm sure you've looked into it yourself, the slots are supposed to be only "potential ad placements" and I've read that most of that time there's only maximum of 2 for the avg viewer. But if there's more than that, perhaps I can look into cutting a few of those out. Thanks for the feedback! -Richard

Great battle report, quality stuff all over the place. I do have a doubt, in 15:18 after the roll off, the hero can make other allies move if they´re whitin 6 of his original position adn end whitin 6, but i saw a fountain guard and ranger that seems to be way off 6" of the original boromir position move at the same time, was it heroic move, then as having charged the other heroic move it´s canceled, then they move? Thanks beforehand and keep up the great work mates

That’s correct. Once Dalamyr had been charged, his Heroic Move was cancelled. Thanks for watching the video! -Charles

Whilst I appreciate the amazing editing skills you guys poses for me personally the arty farty manner in which this video has been made makes it a hard watch. 3 guys commentating on a toy soldier game is a bit much. I much prefer the film as you play method pretty much all of the other successful content creators use.
