Apologies we missed the premier! We had a last minute meeting, but we hope you all enjoyed it and we will see you next time :D

You guys should really re-read the magic section of the rulebook again, because unless you're using house-rules it's a bit of a disaster. If you roll for a spell and you need a 5 for it to go off, and roll 2 dice, one of them being a 5 and the other a 6, doesn't mean the spell goes off twice, it simply goes off once on the highest dice roll, a 6. So then the other player gets to resist, he doesn't just roll a dice for each will point until he resists, he declares beforehand how many dice he wants to use to try and resist, and then rolls those at the same time. So let's say you have 3 Will points, you might decide to use 2 of those to resist, if you roll a 6 on any of those, you get the will point back for each 6. You don't roll one, then another one, and then another one until you either resist of run out of Will, you declare it before you roll. Enjoying the video overall and don't mean to come across as rude by the way, just figured I'd help out a bit. Magic is a bit tricky, and definitely worth re-reading if you're not entirely sure. Also to chime in, I like the longer videos personally, I often "watch" battle reports while painting, so the longer the better in that case, but that might not be relevant for everyone.

The longer the better! Keep everything in and keep these videos coming! They’re awesome, well done guys.

That was EPIC! Boromir is in insanely good fighter! But never underestimate Bilbo. #TeamFellowship I like the long videos. Please dont cut them down.

Leave in the movement and discussion of the game and its development, I love watching the details

Love the long form videos breaking things down. The commentary and your banter is fantastic. Keep up the great content guys!

Been waiting for ages for this and I am not disappointed. Brilliant concept and brilliantly composed, well done guys.

Hour long video is my jam! For someone who rarely gets to play dnd/strategy battles, I enjoy every single bit of the game, even the moving parts. The speeding up movement for a lot of enemies is okay. I love watching all the figuring out movements and scoping out and formulating a plan so I do not mind a long video! Another great campaign guys! Keep up the amazing work!

Love these videos and don't mind the length. Keep it up lads!

Keep them longer. Watching all the movement and your banter and discussions is what makes these videos great.

You're equally one of the biggest channels for MESBG battle reports aswell as one of the most shakey with the rules. This is why I've taken the time to point out every rule-inaccuracy in this report. Honestly I don't know if I'll continue watching your reports because with all those mistakes the games move far away from how they would've gone with a better grasp of how the game works (it was especially bad in this one). That's my blunt personal feedback. That doesn't mean that I begrudge you a single viewer. I'm happy that there are so many people that enjoy your videos just the way they are. With that being said: 11:55 you have to roll all dice for your roll to resist at once, you can't just keep spending Will points like with Fate 19:30 prone models can immediately stand up in their move phase. 21:45 I really expected you to gear the Fellowship fully out which would have put Frodo at D6 with his mithril coat. Not sure if you decided against it or forgot that he has it 23:20 starting the move of a model, casting with a different model and then continuing the move with the first model is VERY wrong as pointed out by your Fellowship player. It was also equally unnessecary because Gandalf probably had some line of sight anyway 23:46 heroic actions, which channeling is, are declared at the start of their respective phase. As soon as the first model is moved no heroic channeling can be declared. 24:29 resisting doesn't work like that. You only have to match the highest casting roll once. 28:09 no mistake just the missed opportunity of Sam calling a free heroic combat 29:30 you never re-roll a re-roll 29:40 Frodo was not dead, he had one wound left aswell as Might to modify a Fate roll of 3 or declare a heroic defence 32:49 that's even 4 wounds because Gimli gets +2 to wound in that fight: +1 for two handing (I know he two-handed because he only rolled two dice) and +1 for having fewer kills than Legolas 37:07 missed opportunity to blow Boromir's horn (even though Oin is Courage 6) and for Bifur to kall a heroic strike (at the start of the fight phase of course) which would've helped in other fights aswell. No mistake either, just would've been a very sensible choice. 39:07 again, two wounds caused by Gimli because he still gets +1 for having fewer kills than Legolas 40:22 you've said that it is your house rule that you don't do D2 roll-offs but I didn't think that you'd re-roll ALL the dice instead. Which changes the game balance a LOT. But maybe that's what you intend. I thought you'd just both roll 1 dice and the winner wins the fight. 49:38 Gandalf can re-roll Fate rolls 50:40 Thorin had equal Fight value to Aragorn so it would've been another re-roll thing 55:26 It is true that you can't do anything against 6s with higher Fight value. You CAN do something against the higher Fight value. It's one of the most important heroic actions. 55:38 did you not roll for Gandalf and Bilbo because they're lower Fight than Legolas? Because all attacks in a duel always use the highest Fight value on their side. 58:33 you always do this but here it really matters: You don't roll to wound and then get to distribute your dice to whoever you like depending on if a certain roll would've wounded one model but not another. You say at whom you strike and then roll to wound- one attack at a time or all at once. 59:37 not important for the game but for the sake of consistency: Gandalf has S5 attacks with Glamdring

I enjoy the whole thing being part of the video. movement is such an important phase in MESBG!

great hour video, so editing is perfect, the speed up through movement I'm sure helps cut it down. good to see the shooting and fighting in real time, I was team fellowship all the way, knowing them for longer from the films. but since the hobbit, I now team thorin. really enjoying it, especially the 16 team championship battle games you have. keep it up, all the best!

Yeah I love the longer videos. More content and it’s nice to see everything from start to finish. Keep up the good work guys!

Please keep them an hour plus. I love the long videos. Great vid as always guys

Another great video guys! =) That was a close battle and Bilbo is a legend for taking out The Three Hunters! =) Wasn't quite sure which team to go for as I really like characters from both teams, but Aragorn and Legolas have always been a firm favourite for me, so if I had to decide then team Fellowship. =) Definitely like the way you guys are already doing your videos and think you should keep them as they are. Not too short and not too long, a good power hour is an ideal length of time to average at I think. =) I enjoy watching the whole battle and like the way you fast forward bits to get the the action, but am still able to see the whole game without missing anything. If you cut bits out, it wouldn't feel smooth or a complete experience. You are very entertaining to watch and I like everything about the way you do your videos (including The Broken Sword), so keep up the amazing work guys! =)

Videos are perfect… no cuts 😊

These are awesome as they are. Keep up the great work!

Sorry guys but this has to be the most painful battle report of yours to watch out of the ones I have watched as so many basic mistakes. I understand individual model rules can be forgotten as I do that sometimes but the basic rules are shocking in this video I couldn't watch the whole thing. Looking through the comments they have been listed so not gonna waste time doing that. Also house rules shouldn't be done in my opinion as if a new player wanted to watch they would get confused. I don't recall you saying about house rules at the beginning sorry if I am wrong. Not my idea of a good watch. Simple, rules from book no house rules would work better for me. I feel sorry for the guy on the left as in most of the reports I have watched his dice are like mine BAD lol. I like the concept of the videos. Cheers guys.

It's a pity that when the very last command/compel against Aragorn goes through, but because gandalf doesn't have any might it is not channelled. So Aragorns fight value never gets half. Aragorn could have easily won the game by himself if his fight value wasn't lowered. Which in your occasion was a little mistake that could have been the game for the Fellowship.

Graphics & dice cam are really helpful for following along!

Today you won another follower great video guys!!!!! movement 25:45 super illegal,that dwaf moves before.

I like the long videos, keep them the way they are.

A real good game. Close. Hurts my soul though to watch these companies fight each other. Keep doing your vids the way you are, the format is just right for me.

Did anyone else see the tree move all by itself at 56:20? Spooky.

This is awesome!

In case still relevant here are some rules pointers: 1. might can be used on fate rolls. This wasn't done for the majority of the battle even if it would have saved a life. 2. If you win a fight when knocked prone you stand up 3. Magic has already been pointed out, you only need to resist the highest number rolled 4. You're supposed to declare who you're rolling to wound against before rolling, though I get if this is a house rule 5. Remember losers back away at the end of the fight, this is relevant for manoeuvring also, fellowship should have totally taken bill the pony! the hobbits treat him as a banner. Other than that, good video. :)

Great game! Closer than I thought. Like the length of the videos as they have been, builds the tension! #teamfellowship

Very epic! Correct me if I am wrong but I believe boromir has no fate so very vounerable for shooting #Teamthorin

I like to see the full game roll out and not edited

well the reroll actually makes a difference because aragorn and legolas have an elven made blade , so they win on a 3-6 and the dwarves only on a 1-2 , according to the rules , because then the fights would have gone much different

Seeing every part is aok! I like seeing the whole game played, short and cut up might take out some of the suspense and figuring out your tactics.

Great idea for a matchup. I prefer the fellowship but the hobbits don’t match up to the minor dwarf heroes. The fellowship big hitters are going to cause damage but when resources run down thorins company are going to take them down

I prefer the longer and more detailed length. I like hearing your commentary and your description of rules, etc.

Love the hour+ video's!

Hour + battle is great. My inner geek needs to be fed a lot.

#TeamFellowship I think your video length is good, presentation is one of the best i've come across for MESBG bat reps! I think Thorins co would of benefitted more for calling a couple heroic strikes, giving them higher fight and potentially forcing the fellowship to copy and burn out of might faster too. But great win to the Co, keep at it guys!

Love this!

Don’t cut down any length of these videos, the more the better, your battles are some of the most enjoyable to watch on youtube #teamfellowship

Ideas for battles: Of course all iconic battle scenarios. If eventually possible, a Battle of Five Armies might be pretty epic to see. Also Sauron attacking Thranduil's realm and Erebor during The Return of the King might be nice to see since we don't get those in the movie.

Gloin vs Gimli would be an interesting dynamic.

Have to believe the Fellowship would be favored in this matchup-although Bilbo having the ring could definitely play a key role

Team fellowship and I liked the length of the vid please keep it full battle

Bilbo using his “2” attacks to finish off legolas. 😭😭

#TeamThorin Cheering on Balin Lord of Moria! 👑🗡⚒💪😎

A hour long video is very enjoyable to watch.

Id recommend a nice balance, I love the longer videos but maybe if you’re not sure on rules or just want to double check, you could edit it out so you keep the long video style but don’t have and ‘boring bits’ will also help with annoying less people in the comments 😂 I love your channel and look forward to seeing you grow (hope you can learn from some of the mistakes in this video) if you continue to learn and grow you could be on track you be one of the top war gaming channel, keep it up boys 👍

You gotta pick who you are rolling to wound against first surely.. also measure movement every time. There were some jammy moves there

the details are good i do like speeding up the movement but everything else keep

i just broke up with my girlfriend and moved on my own for the first time, these videos keep me company while im playing some breath of the wild and while i fall asleep, please keep them coming! and they might have inspired me to buy some figurines too!

You missed out on some special rules and other heroic actions haha but very fun

Hey guys, love the format and presentation! Only issue is 26 mins in and there's already been several basic mistakes with the rules that really change the game. I love how what your doing is more narrative than points driven and I'm all for house rules ect but when rules are interpreted wrong or forgotten it makes it slightly less enjoyable. Keep doing what your doing!

I'd like to see Rivendell vs Gondor.

I'm happy with the length you are publishing. I feel this battle was a better representation of the numbers conquer might theory than your elves v trolls combat, which seemed, to me, very one-sided, despite the equivalence in point value. That said, the Fellowship did very well here, given the discrepancy in point value between them and Thorin's Company. Did you state what the point value of each side was? I don't recall hearing it, but I might have missed it.

Love the Rohirrim t-shirt! Where can I get one?!? Great video guys 😍

I prefer seeing the whole thing with movement being fast forwarded as needed and I enjoy hearing your commentary. If it was cut to the highlights I think it would feel more disjointed if sections were actually skipped. Like in the futurama episode where they are randomly jumping forward in time

Your vids are fine , your style is your own. don't fix what's not broken

Great battle! No horn of Gondor? I would have taken gollum to go along with the fellowship

Frodo shouldn’t have died from that first hit as you could have only done one wound against him by the die results. There were two rerolls of ones and then you rerolled a reroll (which is not allowed unless you have some sort of standing house rule I am unaware of) to do a second wound on him. Also, magic successes are not cumulative requiring multiple resists (unless house rule), the multiple dice only serve to increase the chance of rolling a single success, requiring a single resist success, not multiple. Otherwise enjoying the video, models, terrain, and the battle. 😁

Thorin's company should have to roll just to establish that they bothered to pack weapons. Those fools could not fight their way out of a wet paper bag!

Full battle report, I watch these for the details, discussions and banter! I don’t see much that could be edited out.

Longer videos, like 1h+ with everything :)

Good Video Boys

Hi guys what about an isengaurd vs mordor urakai vs orcs more orcs but would make for an interesting battle

Oin is giving Boromir a run for his money, taking five arrows and no damage.

Longer video = Better

I think i might enjoy a 20 - 35 minute video unless it's a really good or jam packed video in which i would watch the entire thing.

Gents great channel, but do us all a favour and get some themed dice for your different armies.

Keep il with the movement speed up please, no cut, i got lost with cuts

Are there videos missing from the channel? I’m sure you did a Rivendell vs OrcsOfSomeSort batrep but I don’t see it available anymore.

Hyphotesis: Dori and Thorin are da strong bois in team Company, but fellowship got powerhouses Gandalf, Aragorn and Legolas, plus, a second breakfast, I'd say the Fellowship wins even with just Aragorn Boromir Gandalf and Legolas

L o n g videos please chaps 👍

Bilbo for the win!

Team fellowship

Thorins company DO have march, its in the army bonus

I don't know if anyone has commented this, but in an FAQ/Errata, Every member of Thorin's company was given Heroic March!

FELLOWSHIP

no heroic combats or strikes ?!

But i do really love your video's and experiments. I personally like the video's of an hour, so for me don't change the length.

29:40 you are not allowed to reroll rerolls

It is actually 1 to 1 death rate

Team fellow ship

Team fellowship all day

#TeamFellowship Long videos are okay by me, as battles take a long time in Middle Earth.

Keep the long videos ive been really enjoying them also feel like multiple times during the game models would have been considered trapped and you guys were not getting that bonus in combats.

I'm late but I'll say #teamthorinscomany just because

I dont mind

Team Thorin

Dude at 1.09.40 balin has jusg 1 wound, not 2w2f! He should be dead and instead he kills boromir next turn! I demand a replay

Plz don’t cut the videos down!!!

Fast forwarding when moving a bunch of units is fine. Aside from that...however long it takes is however long it takes. Full game and not just highlights, please.

Keep the video length

If the fellowship don't win I'll get gloin tattooed on my groin

6:45// myop film the whole prep and all of the game, then upload the entire content, and place Time Lines available to the viewer to Skip to the Part of the entire Video they want to see. eg: one of the timelines should be the Final Battle of the last standing characters. I always prefer all content, so i can see the RAW footage and let my mouse do the editing of time and space the Other main vein reason i prefer the full content is to allow the Provider LESS PRESS(pun) Sure if they had all the time of a editing crew, two producers and No other time for lives, wives, toys not on the Board. where is that Ouija any way? lol i once was witness to three teens into their young 20s girls place their finger tips upon a Ouija Pointer and they Won that Board game, providing me with two names of persons i would meet 18 months later. some games are board and Others r just Boring . show the tell, completely, with Time Line Edit Option with titles and see watt steam engine happens // just an op, Take it 4 what it is worth God Bless and May the Games begin! Action! (pun) said the Director

Shorter videos please.

You both have a cold - wel you guys need to stop making out all the time 😜

I don't know what game you played becos almost all rules possible you did change. Read a rulebook.

You guys are 100% using bots for subscribers. 2 months since first upload and only 50k views doesn't make sense for 293k subs. Also you need to read the rules again, the amount of errors is distracting me from the video. That aside I did enjoy the editing and I think that showing the wound chart and the characters stats is useful for the viewers, good job on that. Read again the magic, movement, control zones and combat pages on the book! Or watch some of Zoropazorp or conquest creation videos!

This game kinda sucks
