Continuing the Narva 1944 Keg Sized Campaign utilizing the "At The Sharp End" supplement from Too Fat Lardies. Due to the name "At the Sharp End", I accidentally keep referring to Chain of Command as Sharp Practice. Sorry about that!

Lets see how I am doing at the halfway point of 2024 looking back at the Goals I made back in January.... Plus I'm pumped to get started with a new look for my Chain of Command Keg-Sized Narva 1944 Campaign! Happy Independence day (or Traitors Day, depending on where you are in the world!)!
The Battle to recapture Bournemoth; a Hail Caesar Battle report
Просмотров 73221 день назад
The Baron of Swathford, after gathering his host, launches a counterattack to recapture the lost Barony of Bournemoth. This is my 2nd game of Hail Caesar (#warlordgames ) continuing my Charc Campaign. The best way to describe this campaign is to say it is a historical battle, set on a fictional world (so you get the best of both worlds. Historical wargaming, with a dash of fantasy). Here is a l...

Fascinating to see Sharp Practice played on such a huge table. It quite charges the dynamic of the game to have units making long approach marches on table. I tend to run more narrative-focused scenarios with SP. I think it’s at its best recreating thrilling tales of daring adventure rather than as just another set of horse and musket battle rules. Having said that your games look great fun and if you enjoy them that’s all that matters.
Thanks so much! I want to get the campaign rules that the Lardies created for it to capture more of that "ongoing story' feeling. I hope you have a spectacular weekend my friend 👍
And not one grey..... well done that man.
Thanks for the advice Sir! Have a fantastic weekend 👍
Wow, how I managed not to comment after watching this when it first came out is beyond me. That KV2 being taken out then shrapnel hitting the squad next too it was impressive. As were all the shots at the start...holy crap that was a lot of dice rolling and yet, enjoyed it all the same. Looking forward to the next one :D
You aren't kidding! Some of those dice rolls took everything I had! The KV-2 was awesome right up to the point where it detonated! I am going to pick up a 3D printed Sturmtiger. Their 320mm rocket mortar is going to be INSANE! Have a fantastic rest of your week Brother 👍
Wow,.. lightning fast. 😮
Great work impressive 😊
Thanks, Darrin! I appreciate that, my friend. Have a fantastic rest of your week 👍
Obi wan voice: Your clones are very impressive you must be very proud
Yes! It's always the right time for an Obi Wan Kinobi quote! Have a good one my friend 👍
Charge monsour charge🤠🤠🤠
Giddy up! You ain't kidding! I'm already painting armor on these knights!
your a machine lol :D insane. cant wait to see the charge
Thanks David! I'm sure it is going to be an EPIC nightmare! Can't wait! Have a good one my friend 👍
Fairly certain that the PAK crew is 5 plus a JL. Crew of 5 with JL.
You are correct, Sir! It's time to create another member for that gun crew. I'm glad you told me, or I would have made the same mistake with the ZIS-3 I'm working on. Have a fantastic rest of your week 👍
@@basement1908 I have played Big CoC several times, infantry and a 3 tank platoon each side. Haven't noticed it taking much time for a Force moral to collapse as tanks are lost and leaders hit. Did you push up the FM to extend game play? Thank you for sharing.
I did extend force morale to extend the game. I'd like to add on another infantry Platoon and then a tank Platoon to each side in the near future.
The story of “Donna Manalito”
I'm not familiar with that one, my friend. Thanks for commenting. I hope the rest of your week is awesome 👍
Hey bro! This looks sick! How much in total did the terrain cost you? I would like to see, if possible, a video on making high quality terrain like this. This table looks so sick!
Thank you so much! I will see what I can do. Terrain is a rabbit hole you can go down that has no bottom to it if you want to get crazy. I try to spend enough money to have a realistic looking battlefield without pissing off my wife and emptying the bank account 🙃. Have a fantastic rest of your week my friend 👍
WOAH. Hold your horses!
LoL! I was painting on those sucker's a bunch this weekend. Hopefully I can move to the riders this week
Your enthusiasm is contagious! Very entertaining and inspiring.
Thank you so much! I appreciate that. Have a fantastic week my friend 👍
Great game and battle report. CofC is a great game, but years ago I tried it and thought it was not for me. It was only last year that I really got into the Lardy rules and now it is my main rule system along with O Group.
It's crazy how that happens, isn't it! Once I get some headway with 6mm figures, I will venture back into O'group. I think it is a fantastic set of rules!
Yep, I painted up twelve cav recently and I had to take a break from painting, it wore me out a bit!
I'm hoping this isn't a soul destroyer by the time I get these 62 cavalry done. I just ordered 2 boxes of Perry ACW cavalry to do next 🙃
Lol I have been building up to painting my Spanish Dragoons the last couple of weeks and I only have to do 12 :).
Hehe! These have sat in the box for a week or two while I periodically stared at them with dread! Still have some ACW and Napoleonic Cavalry to do after I get these guys done!
Hate painting horses in any scale, so yes! 😂😂
God yes... bite the bullet though. Contrast paints are your friend and don't have greys
Roger that, my friend. I appreciate the expertise. Have a great weekend 👍
That’s a LOT of cavalry
Yes, it's a bit ridiculous! Have a good one my friend 👍
Yes but only because i hate painting horse tack and furniture
I've lucked out on not doing furniture, but horse tack, Yuck! Have a fantastic weekend 👍
It’s like you were speaking in #’s
I'm definitely not one of the cool kids 🤣 Have a good one!
oooh what are these for?
Ah... a lot to paint! 😮
Totally agree! I find Cavalry intimidating! Have a good one my friend 👍
@@basement1908 Since I use Contrasts its a bit easier. 🙄
That looks to be about 7.38 years of painting for me.
LOL! You are probably right, but I need to push through this project so I can get back to painting ACW! Have a great weekend 😀
@@basement1908 I know you can do it. Just meant it would take me that long. Now get to painting sir!
Nice job as always. My name is based on my Scottish clan heritage, but my DNA is mostly German. Who knew. Send me your phone number and email and I forward my Waterloo battle pictures... I'm currently painting my Punic War miniatures while watching this fun video!!
I'm glad to help my friend and it's great to know! I sent you my info. Have fun and have a fantastic weekend 👍
That's an interesting family background. My family name is Scottish as well, but part of me is part Native Canadian, as in First Nations.
CoC is very fun and very intuitive too, which makes it for a very good game system :D
So true, my friend! Have a fantastic weekend Doug!
Good job daddy can I borrow $5?
Hehe
Nice but please move the camera slower...
Roger that! Sorry about that. Have a great weekend!
Brilliant game ! With the Soviet artillery barrage keeping German units off the field I thought the Germans were about to get creamed but they hung in there. Special mention must go to the Panzershreck team, they may have routed but what the hell, they did their job, took out the KV and for me that definitely swung the outcome of the battle. Thanks for an hour and a half of top entertainment Steve .
Thank you, Sir! What a blast that game was! I was back and forth until the very end, wondering who was going to win. The panzershreck team was clutch, hitting that rusted spot on the KV-2's armor! I was sure that thing was going to bounce a shot or two. Oh well. The 152mm cannon sure did a number on that one squad. Glad you enjoyed it my friend. Have a great rest of your week 👍
Great job buddy!! Always a pleasure watching your battles... Even games I don't play in a period I don't play, I still enjoy every video
Thanks Luke! I hope all is well where you are. I am charging forward with my ACW project following your advice. Thanks again for all of your feedback. Have a great week 👍
That panzershrek team won that battle. Once the KV2 went kaboom, the Soviets lost the majority of their offensive punch.@basement1908
You aren't kidding! I couldn't believe the KV-2 folded so quickly! Have a fantastic weekend 👍
Great Job Babe!
You are so funny!
Amazing! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much!
Fan-Frikkan-tastic!!!!
Thank you so much! Have a great week 👍
Reall nice report and gameplay but unfortunatelly cough medicine and substant abuse jokes push me away. Have a good one regardless
Thank you and I apologize for that. Best of luck to you and have a fantastic week 👍
Absolutely!
Thanks Doug! I always appreciate hearing from you my friend! Have a good one Sir!
That is cool as hell
Thanks so much! I appreciate it!
That's cool
Thank you kindly! Have a fantastic rest of your week 👍
Really nice❤
Thanks so much! I appreciate that. Have a great week 😀
@@basement1908 thanks you too
The table looks awesome all ready for battle can't wait to see it and enjoy your self 👍👍👍🤠🤠🤠🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thanks so much. I appreciate that. Have a good one my friend 👍
Greetings (and condolences) from Atlanta
LOL. I love Georgia, and i had fun in Atlanta when I was younger. Now that I have gotten a little older and have moved to a small town... dealing with big city traffic is rough! 🤣
Outstanding my friend!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that. Have a fantastic week!
Hurrah ! Eagerly awaiting this one .
Thanks Brother! Hope you had a good weekend! Time to roll some dice!
First class table as always, a real pleasure to watch!
Thanks Phil! I hope all is well. Have a fantastic week my friend!
Amazing as usual!
Thanks Brother! Always great hearing from you! Have a good one my friend 👍
Your tables are always awesome and your narration and detail is really superb. Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm and inspiring us!
Thanks somuch! I appreciate hearing that. Have a fantastic rest of your week 👍
Looks epic but id like a little more to the battlefield.
Heard that! Always room for improvement with my terrain game! Have a fantastic weekend 👍
I know this is an old report, but I have watched it several times. Too bad I can only like it once. Your games are how a napoleonic battle should look.😊
Thanks so much! I appreciate that . Napoleonics Rule! Have a fantastic weekend my friend 👍
Great game and loving your enthusiasm for this great game too! Couple of rule lawyer points that might help you out in future games with your Junior Leader actions - Machinegewehr - this takes 2 initiatives to do so a JL can do this but this means the rifle team won't fire. The JL either uses both initiatives to fire both teams or uses both initiatives to fire just the MG team with machinegewehr. In reality it is better to have the whole squad fire, machinegewehr is used when your split the squad and send the rifle team ahead and use the JL and MG team to give them covering fire. A Senior Leader with 3 initiatives could order machinegewehr and have the rifle team fire however. I think you may have used your JL to activate an adjacent squad to fire (I may be wrong so feel free to ignore). A JL can only order or rally his own squad and not adjacent squads. In the middle of the village you had a team run all out over a wall - you can't run over obstacles, you usually drop the lower or higher dice roll depending on the type of obstacle.
Awesome! That will be very helpful. I appreciate the assist my friend. Have a fantastic weekend 👍
