Beautiful scenery and models. Always liked operation sealing games since reading the series of articles in airfix magazine in the 1970s. Splendid video, really enjoyed it .
We really need a full battle report for this, it looks like such a good game
More please

Very cool event! Thanks for showing this. 😊

This is Outstanding! Very cool indeed! I and my son are also working on Sealion in 20mm this is Great!! Well done Sir! 😊 God Bless you Sir hope all is going well with you and your family Praying for you. 😊
Very cool, nice to see you branching out from Normandy Ken 😁 I`ve run Safi a couple of times, the scenario notes & AARs are posted over on my blog. Have you had a chance to run the game yet?
Good stuff old bean. Immersion is critical and much overlooked. Best wishes
Superb table... And pictures, love your collection of vehicles!
Great stuff as always Ken, hope you're recovering well.
@@AdamTurner1 thank you very much Adam! I’m getting there.
Brilliant inspirational thanks for sharing and wishing you a swift recovery
@@davidknight2220 thanks very much
Excellent looking table! How did it end?
@@scottpankonin1068 the British defeated the Germans! Good outcome!
Good outcome! You could see in the pictures the British armour advancing, but the German Fals were assaulting the station. So it looked a nail-biter from the images. Great work!
Beautiful
@@adamfox1669 cheers!
@@adamfox1669 thank you
SUperb terrain, greetings from France!👍👍
@@philRminiatures thank you very much!
I just learned of you channel on the "No Enemies Here" show and subscribed! Incredibly beautiful work! A very good mix of simplicity and detail! I'm particularly impressed with your buildings! Too bad how our health goes when we get older. I'm dealing with COPD at 78. Fortunately I don't do much but sit at a computer all day and try to enjoy every minute. Go Lions!
@@Aquadoc1962 thank you so much for your awfully kind remarks, great to hear from you. I shall check “ No Enemies Here” out. Which episode was it on can you recall? All the best. Ken
ruclips.net/video/VvZ8wroEQmA/видео.html The guy is very entertaining and talented (mostly music) and I'd like him to bar tend a bar/hotel in my Gettysburg OS project, which is a virtual version I built of Gettysburg in the summer of 1863. Gettysburg, being an 11 road crossroad, was basically an 11 hotel town and railway head. Hopefully I can build a war gamer club/bar/studio in one with player piano.
@ that’s most helpful, many thanks
Fantastic eye candy 😊
@@geewilli2080 thank you very much!
Great stuff as always Ken 😊
@@hamsteronthepaintingtable6465 thank you!
Wow, splendid Sassanid units!!
@@philRminiatures aren’t they splendid! They are from the collection of my wargaming friend Chris Flowers, he has a wonderful collection of ancients, an incredible napoleonics collection, and superb WW2 and early cold war collections. All painted to a stunning standard.
@@KenHanning57 Agree, first class paint job, congrats to Chris!
That's a truly amazing table, Ken. Fantastic to see!
@@OldFrontLine ah thank you that’s very kind of you.
What a clever way of getting an airfield onto a table.
@@norm977 ha ha thank you. Yes it’s a bit if a cheat isn’t it! But a scale 1/72 airfield would be bigger than my table! Wargame ground scales need to be fudged a bit, and usually look the better for it in terms of the big picture!
What a lovely day that must have been
@@DominatorLegend it really was a delightful show. We all enjoyed it a great deal
Looks amazing. Congratulations.
@@ilcattivo13 thank you
Huge and superb, a dream for wargamers!
@@philRminiatures cheers!
That looks awesome, bravo. What Ruleset do you use for this amount of minis and the size of this table (looks HUGE, how big is it
@@papaaaaaaa2625 thank you very much. The table is 12 feet by six feet. I use Rapid Fire Reloaded rules, you can find out all about them here. www.rapid-fire-uk.com
great looking game
Wow, that is some war game room. I shall use this as evidence that my wife needs to hand over the lounge and dining rooms for me to use ... if you don't hear from me, call the National Guard and come rescue me;-))
@@peterixon8708 ha ha! Good luck
Impressive table setup. 😮 Nice gaming!
@@totalburnout5424 thank you
Looking good. The buildings/streets in wargame table reminds me of the PC game "Commandos".
@@PegasusB thank you, very kind. I’m afraid I don’t do PC games but that sounds like an most interesting comparison
This is a Beautiful Game! Sir you have this Best looking games on RUclips!have a Blessed Christmas. God Bless you and Your Family Good Sir:) From Grey in Virginia USA
@@grimdesaye6534 that’s awfully kind of you. Thank you and very best regards to you too
@KenHanning57 The Lord Is With You Sir:) God Bless you and your family.
An amazing tabletop battlefield that cries out to be fought over! Wonderful modelling … and I particularly like the ships and landing craft.
@@Wargaming_Miscellany thank you very much Bob. I’m really looking forward to recovering a bit more from last weeks surgery to get out there again and get the game moving and make a proper video again! All the best
great set up what figures are they for the Americans and French Cheers
@@loki6924 the Americans are mainly old Britannia ( now retailed by Grubbys tanks) I think. I shall have to do some digging around revthe French
First class Ken!
@@theenigmaticgamer many thanks
I recognise a few faces there, but not from the Sassanids you understand 🤣
@@theenigmaticgamer ha ha yes! Many of the usual suspects around Chris’s table there!
Excellent set-up. It' ll be a great game
@@fromfeartofaith7167 thank you very much
Wow, fantastic board and minis.
@@Anvilarm07 thank you very much , very kind
What rules?
@@WARdROBEPlaysWWII rapid fire reloaded rules, you can find them on their website. www.rapid-fire-uk.com
Rapid Fire would be a guess, maybe RF Reloaded. This was one of the first scenarios in the original green rule book I believe.
@ spot on in every sense. I’m using rapid fire reloaded this time. But the scenario was indeed in the very first rapid fire wargames rule book!
@@WARdROBEPlaysWWII hi there. I use rapid fire reloaded rules in the main, they are very quick and easy to play. They have a great website where you can find out everything about them. I do hope that you enjoy exploring them! I like large scale, brigade level Second World War scenarios and these are ideal for that! www.rapid-fire-uk.com
Amazing as usual. How’s the health?
@@WARdROBEPlaysWWII thanks. So far so good I think. Awaiting more scans now to review progress!
Looks amazing! Looking forward to hearing about the game. You're an inspiration.....I hope to one day have a gaming room like this.
@@dreadknot69 thank you. Fingers crossed re your own room, it’s great fun
Great video. So glad you are done with chemo. On November 25 I had another (my second in 21 years) part of my colon removed from cancer. Feeling good and my prognosis is excellent. I am looking forward to getting back to gaming.
Fantastic setup Ken. You are always an inspiration.
@@willtijerina5149 thanks very much, very kind of youn
Superb. As an aside, The new Carentan Reloaded booklet arrived through the post yesterday, the system is going strong.
@@norm977 cheers, and yes I’ve got the Carentan booklet too, it’s an inspirational guide!
Looks amazing Ken 👌
@@dougmcmillan4341 cheers!
Great looking table as ever,let us know how the game goes.
@@jasoncollis949 thank you. And will do
Looks Great 👍 enjoy the game 👍
@@WhataboutTRUTH thank you
Hi ken, would this guide be useful for other rulesets ?
Another Outstanding Beautiful board Good Sir. 😊
These are Classics thank you for showing them Good Sir. God Bless. 😊
Hi could you do another one of these? This is amazingly good! Thank you and God Bless. 😊
@@grimdesaye6534 that’s really kind of you. I’m in the middle of an Operation Torch game (landings at Safi) at the moment to be filmed this week, then I’m doing a France 1940 crossing the Meuse game after that! I’ve got more cancer surgery next Monday, small liver operation, then I should hopefully be back in the war room again. Thank you again. Ken
@KenHanning57 We Sir will keep you in our Prayers. We Pray our Lord will Heal you Good Sir. God Bless you and your family. ✝️
Lovely guide Ken, thanks a lot! Are these the Britannia British Para Miniatures?
@@AdamTurner1 hi Adam, thank you. Well spotted they are indeed Britannia, now retailed by Grubby Tanks!
