MORE LARD! Please! Best thing to watch. Their systems are solid but their gameplays are so fun to watch and narrativly enjoyable because Lard and BoW get immersed so fast and hard :D

This is my favorite let's play ever. Please do more lardy! Thanks

Richard is the current godfather of our hobby - always entertaining. We've got to get Clark to star in some kind of reality TV show. Also, this demo shows one of the satisfying thing about these rules, that is the way few kills but more shock will cause units to disintegrate in a realistic manner compared to some rules where the kills happen to quickly. Solid rules once you get into them.

I love the French leaders: Capitain Visage de Vache (Cowface!); and Hercule Legume (Hercules Vegetable)?

Rich's passion for historical gaming shows not only in his rule systems but in his live game demos as well. Good stuff! Another motion for a Chain of Command demo as well.

I think its even worse for Richard because at 1:35 he forgot to roll on the 'Bad Things Happen' table for a unit breaking (the one that ran across the front of the French line). Great game thought. Chain of Command next please.

This is probably the best Let's Play / Demo on Beasts of War ever. The rules set looks really nice and seem to really capture the feeling of line infantry fire being really ineffective and the morale and competence of your officers being the real deciding factor in who wins and loses, rather than casualties and effective fire.

Hector Legume... Let me guess, he's a quite down to earth officer?

I would love to see another Sharpe Practice "Let's Play." Fantastic!

Amazing to see Richard in this video and see how this game works. It succeeds in creating a cinematic view of a battle. More TooFatLardies games please!

This was one of the most lively of your vids yet. Great work!

When you talk about smoke obscuring view and waiting for it to clear, at the 2015 Waterloo battle re-enactment the artillery were told to stop firing as the paying public couldnt see anything happening !!

Not my era of play but I enjoyed this. Must agree one of the better game demos you all have done.

Justin! You better have another one of these in the release schedule or in editing? Now Trooper! The Commissariat does not wait. Also well done to Richard and crew for creating an awesome and what looks to be a very easy and interesting Black Powder game to get into. Again congrats to you gents for an Amazing Let's Play and another Congrats to Richard and Crew for a game well done. Justin! Let's Play! Now! *Raises Hoof Bolter

This game looks fantastic! Richard is so great too, he really made it feel like I was watching Sharpe!

Great to see lardies games getting some exposure. More please!

For years i've held off buying lardies stuff as I never saw a proper playthrough. After this and the chain of command ones I think i'm sold.

TFL games are so fun.

Sean Bean always dies ahahahhahha

Wold like to see a battle report for I ain't been shot mum, to see how the game plays!

Great demo and game, I will be getting the rules soon for my American War of Independence figures. I would love to see Rich do one of these with you for Chain of Command.

I have played this game once, and we didn't know the rules very well, I didn't like it, but now that I see it played properly, I really like it. I am going to get the rules for sure. What a great demo!!! Could you do another one mainly showing melee . Thanks

What a fantastic game. Been looking for a good Napoleonic game. I was always daunted by how massive this period could be but this really is my kind of game

Really great game. Want more ! What about a game of Chain of Command !

Brilliant video. Such a great game. Hopefully more people give the Lardies games a go. Very fun and accessible historical games. If love to see a Chain of Command game at some point. A nice alternative to Bolt Action.

Very cool looking game, I think I won't get rid of my box of British after all instead I think I need to buy these rules really enjoyed watch this game

Well. This was brilliant. I just finished reading Sharpes Triumph. This game captured the back and forth point of view of the line battle wonderfully. I've been watching battle reports from other skirmish games and find myself frustrated with how most games are won or lost based on who bought the toughest characters and can you roll a six to wound before this tank character wipes the floor with you. This game captures the idea that your character needs his unit to be effective, so while a general might be tough, he is only as strong as the units he supports. The sharpe tv series always showed the French advancing in a column, making them harder to kill since they present less of a target to a facing line. Could this tactic work here? Are there cavalry units and how do they effect play? What minis do you recommend using with this game. I'm overseas currently in the US but I would totally buy this!

Great game. More, please. And some black powder as well.

Game looks good ! gonna get the rulebook :)

just watched this again, best play through on you tube.

Just found the next war game I’m getting love the nepolenic era especially Shape

brilliant game could see you both having fun so was fun to watch

Glad you did a play through, I have been wanting to see one. Nice shot on Sharpe, who alo made it more interesting, as I have the Sharpe collection out on my desk to start eatching with my neice.

I did indeed enjoy that. Visage de Vache is a brilliant name. I may be stealing it. 😂

This is such a great game and the video a wonderful showcase of it.

Superb. Missed this playthrough when it was uploaded. glad I've watched it. Great game!

Lol Rich is such character. Excellent game. Looking forward to seeing more:)

You almost lost me right at the beginning with the talk about the game being a hollywood/series style affair. But watching the BR, I really liked how it's difficult to get kills and how it's all about morale, command, positioning and manouvering. It seems to represent historical tactics rather well and I'm seriously considering getting the rules to play some napoleonic skirmishing while I build up my force for Black Powder. And as an interesting game option in itself. Cheers!

So Simmerson beat the French and got Sharpe killed; he must be pleased with himself.

Brilliant Game!!!! loved the video and about time you ran a demo for this. They have plenty more games inc WW2

Just discovered your channel. Absolutely love the way you guys demo games. My new favorite channel.

Great game, and such a nice change to see and alternative to the usual games you demo. Would love to see a game of chain of command here as well. Top Notch Sirs!

you guy sold me on the game rules, just ordered mine

Sergeant Patrick Harder. The non-copyright-infringing names gave me a laugh. :D

I really liked it. I would like to see a French and Indian War (Seven Years War as we say in Québec) scenario.

I really like this rule set and will need to purchase. Tnx for the demo vid. Good job!

I like this dice rolling box. Nifty! I need to make one.

Fantastic game guys.

1:20:39 Sun Tzu...um...not quite but still a nice vid, the best play through yet. I also second the calls for Chain of Command play through.

Awesome game.

Ahh can you hear it? There in the background...I hear a violine playing...DO YOU TOO? Here's forty shillings on the drum For those who'll volunteer to come To 'list and fight the foe today. Over the hills and far away. O'er the hills and o'er the main. Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain. King George commands and we obey. Over the hills and far away. When duty calls me I must go To stand and face another foe. But part of me will always stray Over the hills and far away. O'er the hills and o'er the main. Through Flanders, Portugal and Spain. King George commands and we obey. Over the hills and far away. If I should fall to rise no more, As many comrades did before, Then ask the fifes and drums to play. Over the hills and far away. Then fall in lads behind the drum, With colours blazing like the sun. Along the road to come-what may. Over the hills and far away. ;)

Nice run through. Great to see both getting right into it.. though I think Rich was a bit unlucky.

this is fantastic. plz do another lardie game.

Superb we want more no much much MORE!!!!.....

Great play-through for my favourite ruleset. I've watched this four times and just picked up an issue at 1:08:30 where Richard uses his two Command Cards to increase his officer's status to four. He removes four shock markers from his formation, using up the officer's four orders, but then the officer orders the formation to fire. Was that last order allowed? Keep up the awesome SP2 vids!

Nice very entertaining batrep and game.

The curse of Sean Bean strikes again!

Brilliant; I have bought soldiers, painting them and watching you tube to try to learn how to play. This is great, one rule book sold here too. Thank you guys.. sub'd too

This has been the most interesting demo game you guys have ever done. Give the old bloke a job.

Love this Rich guy! Its only my 2nd lets play but hes a card! Faved the vid and subbed! , , am I getting old that historical gaming is starting to intrigue me?

This is wonderful! I would love to see Chain of Command as well!

Excellent video - really enjoyed it.

I know a Commander named Major Aimes Touloose

Great fun! Off to build a French force. 😊

Same thing happened when I played a Sharp Practice demo game, it really sucks you in and gets you involved.... I've got the MDF Tokens instead of the card set :)

awesome battle your a great team of story tellers

This is awesome....what figures where you guys using?

How many folks noticed they were playing on a Realm Of Battle board? :D

This looks great! May replace my black powder. May play in 15mm though

Wow - I enjoyed that - great vid

I'm thinking if you're going to use dice towers, you should have one for each side.

Great game guys!

Great Demo! Have to run another game!

Love this game and great vid!

Rich when you got 3 flags in a row around 45:11 were you supposed to do a check of some kind?

This was real cool

Why doesn't a death also count as a shock point?

Have any of you ever fired a Brown Bess musket live?

Nice Terrain........ 👍👍👍

Loved it ...

Very nice little mechanics. Always like breaking up you go I go moves and long periods of waiting. I like idea of shock but too many playing tokens can be annoying visually and moving around with units. When I see a lot of smoke on board kinda feel it should affect visibility/accuracy than just keeping track of reloading/shooting.

Are these 25mm or smaller? I’m just refreshing my sp2 game for napoleonic while I paint 2 enlarged armies for GDA2. T he garden will have to wait until the mud drys out.

Love it, what terrain did you use?

Are there scenarios for the whole spectrum of napoleonic wars, even russia campaign?

mm looks nice

Did they make a video on Chain of Command on here?

good vidio

the shock focus is pretty great, makes the units more durable, but unreliable, revaluing the slow rate of fire weapons, and leading up to those big gunline moments even if one side gets the drop those two lads can really pair their themes with their mechanics, and no one is a better creator-demonstrator than Richard many games of this nature devolve into hex affairs due to the combat mechanics not being as bespoke, forcing the roudabout hex format to recreate those pickets charge moments or those storming the sanctum moments i have never seen it pulled off in an honest to goodness radial movement wargame

What is the size of the table?

Is there a PDF version of the rulebook?

Greetings, Where did you get the dice tower?

Are these models from black powder?

so where do you get troops movement trays ect?

Blech. Cards.

what models are being used here please?
