👻Great video, We are newish to BA and Looking forward to 3rd edition, sounds like the Warlord updates and changes so far have been well received

I think the darker rifles did look better, although I know what you mean about possibly looking too dark when stuff is small scale......keep up the good work 👏

Great battle report. 30 minutes ish is the length I prefer. Glad to see Wayne again as well.

Great update Mark! I pre ordered V3 as well can't wait for it to come out.

I'm looking forward to seeing what's in 3rd ed. I don't know if I'm going to re-buy all the army books though. So far what I know about it, it seems like it will be a lot of fun.

Great update. Loving the epic. Looks grrat from a distance but that is the charm of epic...mass armies

Very interesting update. Like the epic chaps. You are right, from a distance they look good. A thin wash may help define the features but I don’t paint figures that small so it may not work. Bolt Action Version 3, I think the rules are now you buy a rifle platoon and that unlocks you to get any other platoon, but only one of each kind. However, if you want two engineer platoons you must first get two rifle platoons.

Going to be a fun project, Mark! I just started to get back into Epic ACW and English Civil War so we're going through the same hobbying. ACW definitely easier to paint up. Looking forward to the next update!

Nice to see you play with your friend again😀. Great to see all nice models and terrain too.

Great update! I just received the Epic Battles ACW box. I'd like to record the bigger battles from the beginning to the end of the war(Hopefully). Beautiful work so far! It's a HUGE project. Keep at it!

Brilliant update mate, excited to see those upcoming videos. ‘Toothpicks’😂 that’s just like one of my wife’s little comments, best go for a darker brown mate because if you anything like me it’ll be in your head for good now. I recently based up some terrain with a sand finish and passing by she said, “ooh they look like biscuits, what are they” lol…..needless to say I will be retouching them😉

Nice update. Thinking about those ACW epic battle lads. How about getting a silver marker pen and just putting either a line down the barrel of the gun or even just a dot on the top of the gun to emulate the glint of the metal on a musket. The colour you've used for the muskets is great and makes them stand out really nicely. As you say,you don't want to make them to dark.

Excellent update mate

YES PAINT THE GUNS ...WIFE KNOWS BEST

Loved all the close combats! I see the magic words "anything but a 1" is universal. lol.

Great game to watch. Thanks.

Great game, full on action, sure was a ‘bloody’ battle’ Nice to see you getting the chance to battle together again lads. 👏👍🏻

Nice looking table.

Are there extended army lists for other nations?

more please

As someone who has only enough space for a 4x4, how many points do you play Bolt Action at without making it feel too cramped. Thanks.

Keep up the video and unit outputs fella! Loving hearing about your projects.

At least do the leather and a wash mate...

Looking forward to watching the progress 👍

Great stuff, I'm on a similar journey myself. I purchased the ACW box set when it came out, sold it a year later and now I've literally just bought the Gettysburg box set and have challenged myself to work through it and get it all painted. I like your idea of painting just the front and back. They look good. It will be good to follow your progress with these. Good luck mate.

Great way to get a project off the ground without getting bogged down and discouraged by obsessing on an intricate paint job, nice idea mate😉

It’s going to look pretty spectacular once you’ve got them all painted up!

Awesome project

Huzzah!

Cheap and impressive...Nice project!

That is a great looking collection! All those Shermans! Glad to see you've got a Marder in there. Under rated vehicle for BA. Never tell the wife the real cost of the hobby. lol

Recently made a tank game myself after looking at Achtung Panzer and saying I would have done that different 2 dozen times. Turned out to be a lot of fun. Was going to look into bolt action or flames of war for tanks. Using micro lego tanks atm

Awesome £62 worth there fella…..give you £70 for it? ;)

Can't put a price on happiness

Wow, very impressive!!

Thats an awesome collection mate

🤣😂Nearly choked on my tea ‘told the wife £62 the lot’ best to keep shtum on that one mate. Thats some collection, very nice. Maybe you could try out Warlords new ‘Achtung Panzer!’ with that little lot.😉

Fun to watch thanks. Glad you enjoyed playing too which is the main thing. Just a rules thing which you may have changed anyway, normally in combat SMGs only roll one dice and on a hit you may reroll for tough fighter. As it was it really didn’t matter in the game.

I’ve had a lot on this week, but finally got to watch your Solo Battle Report. Loved it, I think you’re definitely on to something with putting one force on defence, it seemed to work really well. A few ideas that occurred to me whilst watching; 1) Maybe you could place the defending force as you would if you wanted to play defensive 2) Have fewer objective points and place them closer to the centre of the defensive army 3) Restraining, the defensive army’s movement was a good idea, but maybe remove your choice of when to use the limited movements. For example, the movement could be triggered by the attacking army’s proximity to the main objective point, say when they come within 8 or so inches of it 4) Finally, as the defending army is digging in, maybe they could have access to the inside of buildings but the attacking force can’t enter for defensive purposes. Definitely got me thinking mate, great video, thanks so much for doing it👏👏👏

Bloody and beautiful looking game, smoke and fire markers add a lot to the atmosphere...

Great report.....one idea, could be to place numbered tokens for the german units.....then when revealing the token randomise what unit it is.....obviously might mean a less logical placement of a particular unit, but the not knowing would definitely be worth that slight issue.

I’m also going to have to invest more time in solo gaming, looking forward to watching your game mate. If your ever up near the North Yorkshire coast, drop by and we’ll have a game😉

Well done, Mark!

I've been doing solo for the past couple years. I think it comes down to not playing against yourself. I try to pick a few traits that would make the opposing commander act differently from how I would act (more aggressive or cautious, etc). Otherwise, both of your forces look great. Love the Jagdpanthers!

Looks great!

Are you going to make the Germans hidden, your British are deployed first by you, then you draw a German dice, or maybe a chit with what the German unit is then you role a dice to see where they are placed using a small map of the terrain with numbers corresponding with a place on the table so you could be facing anything??

There are a set of like a.i cards that choose your opponent actions for you, I think green dragon games does them??

Great video and very helpful as I'm currently working on ss myself

Can't wait for 3rd edition. Don't put yourself down fella on the painting they all look good I especially like the little Humber 😏 Look forward to more vids from yourself pal

The Flak and the Jagd Panthers look Amazing! The Rest Too! Happy Gaming!
