It's easy to forget how tall Lloyd is until you see him in a video with someone else.

If it wasn't for the red in the couch Lloyd would completely blend in the beige background

love it, Lindy doesn't change at all in a different environment.

Lindybeige is a very nice chap. love him, hes so bright.

never heard of this little wars i'm just here for lindybeige

Hannibal Lecture or Hannibal Lecter? . . . hmm, hard choice

Was going into Lindy withdrawal!! Thank you for posting this.

Slim's a hero of mine. Greatest general in WWII. Beat the Japanese's best troops with mostly local troops. Defeat into victory!

Lord Beige in America, spiffing.

“I don’t think I’d put myself first” meanwhile I’d probably like to serve in an army under Lloyd

Woo little wars with the big beige!

~Lol..i just start following little wars and here a video they with one of my favourite military youtubers..

I've been on a Lindybeige binge lately and now you upload this.

That chest of drawers behind them is incredible.

LINDYBIIIIIIIEGE, just found out about little wars because if this.

I was so disappointed - I met the Perry bros last year, and as someone who spent their childhood playing Warhammer with a lot of their sculpts for GW, I kinda just fumbled and was too awestruck and grateful to really make much of an impression. I must've said "thank" you a dozen times. This year, I missed not only the Little Wars guys, but also Mr. Lloyd, who I would have very much liked to meet and argue the viability of pike-blocks with. He seems like a great guy, and even you seemed a little starstruck, lol. Ah well, I'm local to LWTV at least, maybe we'll have a run-in some other time.

Two of the coolest channels together to nerd out. Thanks guys!

A Bridge too Far? That's a wonderful movie.

And still in Beige ! 🙂 Congrats for your excellent Chanell.

Two of my favorite channels together at last.

That was awesome! Thanks for sharing this interview and insights.

Wow, what a surprise. Love both your channels.

Great interview. Keep it up Little Wars TV.

It's still 5 months to Christmas, calm down!

I wish I could have been a part of that massive Crossfire game.

The best channels coming together ☺️

Ha! Lindy Beige (Nickolas Lloyd) is/was a weekly wargamer. I should have known: His personality fits characters I have known years ago.

Soooooo glad you guys collaborated with LB!

Cool interview! Nikolas is a really great character.

Epic meeting of a couple of personal giants!

Great video - I've subscribed to his channel and look forward to hours of viewing pleasure as a result.

I was there (on youtube) when Opration warevent took place and I’ll say it again Loyd is a different person as he single handedly ran a war effort!

Great interview!

I have to say, Lloyd's camera work look better. It shows beige at its best! I want more content though!

Excellent lindybeige and littlewarstv love it! Maybe include him in a war game?

Ah! General Lloyd, Lord Lindy of Beige. Nikolas to his friends, Nemesis of the French. Huzzah!

One of the best story tellers alive that Mr Beige.

great interview

His channel introduced me to Crossfire. It is by far my favourite miniatures war-game. I love that game. Thanks for posting this interview.

Mr Beige, Lindybeige is quite a nice character ! VERY interesting Interview. Alles Gute.

Nice interview guys.

I suspect more people would agree with Hannibal's assessment of Pyrrhus if the later's writing on military theory had survived.

PLEASE NEVER LEAVE .....THIS IS GREAT

Great Video!

All the time I have been a fan of your chanel, and I'm just finding out your first name

A movie that did it right? Master and Commander....

Helluva crossover episode!

Didn't know Hannibal had a rival named Skippy-O, well, the more you know...

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one

Nice video, subbed. Hannibal Lecture, intended or happy coincidence?

Great video, i was introduced to little wars Tv, but.... As a video guy with roots in community tv, please take the camera on lloyd off auto. Use manual so you don't get a crisp image of the ceramic books on the french dresser while leaving the guest in soft vaseline on the lens kinda look. unless you like it that way, and then you may carry on. Ill be watching

Any Lloyd content is good content!

Great to see lindy on the channel

How can ive not seen this earlier

The utmost welcome of surprises!

Getting the ultimate Angloboo to talk to an American is an impressive feat

Wow. two of my subscribe channels! Thanks.

"Hannibal Lecture" has a ring to it...

Interesting discourse

The Ironic thing is that Hannibal and Alexander both led from the front but for different reasons, Phyruss problem was that he was a great tactician and good at rallying men but a impatient to finish a conquest, basically an adrenaline junkie on the battlefield, but at the same time humble especially in contrast to Demetrius.

Field Marshal Viscount Slim's autobiography of the Burma Campaign is entertaining and a psychological expose on Leadership "Defeat into Victory." (Great Choice Mr. (Dr?) Lloyd).

Lindy's most amusing video " Was the French resistance any use (good)? He is spot on. The answer is a big ........ Saving Private Ryan was excellent for the first 20 minutes or so then it deteriorated into American BS. Everyone knows the best war movies include Das Boot and Zulu. Its all a personal choice LOL

Awesome!

How...again...do you guys not have enough subscribers? This guy’s famous!

Now Lindy and LittleWars need to both comment "Earn this." to make the perfect Saving Private Ryan tie in and blow my mind.

The reason why Hannibal might have had ranking Pyrrhus so high, is that there are missing information on Pyrrhus in sicilly, Pyrrhus was suposedly very successful in battle in sicilly. I also belive i have heard that there are missing books on military that Pyrrhus had written. Hannibal probably learned some stuff from Pyrrhus. But in terms of who was the greatest ancient commander, that rly is not hard to pick, that is Alexander with out a doubt. He was far more successful than anyone, and there are good strategic reasons why he was so. Before you can be truly successful as a commander, and achive your goal, you have to make shure that your base is secure, and you have all the support necessery to defeat your enemy. Pyrrhus base was somewhat secure, having good releations to the north, and guarantee of support should he be attacked by macedon while on campaign, he had gained some support of troops by Ptolemy, but his small kingdom lacked the manpower to really support and replenish losses, and while he was gaining large amount of menn from his italian-greek allias, they were not on par with his epirote army, and the reason why his own men suffered everytime the allies ran. Had Pyrrhus secured Macedon, buildt up a large professional army with good logistics of manpower and supply, he would have been far more successful which ever way he decided to expand. Hannibal did build up a large army, but he did not have the support from chartage, he did however have support from his own family, and could get backing from spain, but he did not secure land leading to italy, and he decided on taking his army through the alps, which decimated it, just as bad as Alexander going through the dessert, except Alexander was not going to war then but home. Hannibal could have taken the southern route into northern italy, yes it was blocked by a roman army, but he could have fought that army and taken far less casulties than the alps cost him. When in italy, he could not really secure territories needed to secure his supply line from spain, even though he secured most of southern italy, it was the north he would have needed as a base and recived armies and supplies from spain there. He went up and down italy for 15 years, fighting a loseing war of attrition. He was a brilliant battlefield commander, but his strategy failed, and he was not a good siege commander, and he failed secureing good logistical support. Had Hannibal secured land in southern gaul before invading italy, and then secured northern italy, his supply line would have been secured, he could then have stedily secured more and more territories from a strong secure base. Alexander: he secured his northern border who decleared war on him, also took away good portion of their army when peace terms was concluded, effectivly making them a non threat. He crushed Thebes, setting a example to all greeks who was thinking of challenging him, then lead parts of their armies and uniteing them into the same goal, he then effectivly secured his base, and secure great logistical support. But Persia had a big navy that was a real threat. Alexander put forth a strategy to secure all the Persian ports by conquest of land, and he stuck to it, til it was done! Persia could then not threaten greece, or his supply line. Alexander's occupation policy was also popular, as it did not take away the power of the ruling people, as long as they did not oppose him, this in term kept conquered land from revolting. Alexander followed his stategies, securing vital territories and kept the enemy infront of him, his logistical support was great as a result. And Alexander was truly a great siege commander, no city or fortress could hold out against the macedonian/greek army and their siege metods, therefore: Alexander conquered every city and fortress in his path that did not yield to him. Therefore Alexander far outshines the others, who both failed.

Bill Slim - excellent call.

He interviews really well

Big fan of the Beige!

Please tell me there's a video of a game of Crossfire with Lloyd coming up after this?!

I think to some degree, roman era wargames can have some validity even if they don't pass the Cannae test. It's probably a good lesson on just how much harder it is to command on the field in the heat of battle than detatched, from a bird's eye view, with perfect information?

When you realize there's something called "the historicon" **instant shining eyes**

Nice vid

Very nice some Beige!

Gotta' respect the Lindybeige. The sound was a little growly, like it was recorded on the median of a highway. I have always wanted to organize a massive war game, not sure if I have the time & energy to do it.

Quality!

80% of convoys were completely unharmed in the Atlantic during WW2. Completely agree about Bill Slim. Excellent soldier and a better general.

Great to learn about new people. At least to me. By the way what is a great Napoleonic rules game exclude snap nap.

Lindy is a member of my local club, www.tynesidewargames.co.uk/, the rules mentioned are called Great captain, www.tynesidewargames.co.uk/greatcaptain.html , you can get them on ebay i think - i havent played them as i mainly do napoleonics and ww2. One of his little-known talents is he was rather good in goal when we used to play 5-a-side football (soccer)!

Is there some app I can download that will let me like this video multiple times?

Lindy: You don't want to see you officer charging all by himself Also Lindy: DUCKING IS WEAKNESS, RUNNING TO COVER IS WEAKNESS, SHOW THE ENEMY YOU ARE NOT AFRAID OF THEM

Add Wintergatan & it's a full house!

Wow! This is like Superman and Spiderman joining forces...

Lloyd almost broke his arm with that shake.

WOW!

Loyd looks like he never seen a hobbit before xD

Best bloke on the internet

What is this a crossover episode?

ok this is epic

Pleas let there be a game whith Lindybeige!!!!! =D

Lindybeige Is a fantastic historian 👍

I think Hannibal was great at winning battles but he couldn't win wars which is why ill always put Alexander above him.

As to a decent big set movie... perhaps the battle scenes in The King?

HI LLOYD!!

0:18 Hannibal... Lecture.

"I would rather have a general who was lucky than one who was good" Napoleon Bonaparte "No battle plan survives contact with the enemy" Many versions but perhaps Helmuth von Moltke was the first. Great leaders, Luck, Training, Armies with the best strategies/processes or perhaps those being able to react best to the fog of war? Perhaps the best leaders are those able to maintain moral in their own troops whilst dealing best with luck (or otherwise) and the vagaries of battle and the strategies of their opponents.

Hello the best commander all times Valeriano Weiler he trained Winston Churchill. Saludos

rome on hbo is a really great series that tried to be historically authentic

Cool
