That's fascinating that is I used to write books and I got loads paper you give me good idea thankyou 😊

I printed out some One Page Rules Hive City terrain on thicker paper (not quite cardboard) and glued it together and it’s really nice and stable. Fills a 2x2 board for any kind of sci-fi or grungy game. I’m also personally tempted to print some historical themed buildings for glueing together (mostly Britain or Arabic themed houses) just so I have something on my board which isn’t super good expensive Great video, talking about a lot of good points!

Muito legal....adorei...Santo André..SP....Brasil.

Nice! Sold me on it, actually.

At this scale, probably worth buying the slightly mythical "Godhand" clippers. Gunpla modellers (Japanese Mecha models) swear by them. Supposedly *very* clean, very sharp. no burring or marking.

They should have ignored scale and made the spears thicker. Standard practice for 10mm.

1/72 Scale is 25 mm figure scale, not 20 mm. 20 mm figure scale is 1/80 Scale (technically 1 : 80.5 but nobody worries about that). 1/56 Scale is more like 32 mm figure scale, 1/60 Scale is 28 mm figure scale (actually it is 30 mm, technically, but because 'heroic' it is used for nominally 28 mm miniatures currently) and what the various "25 mm" ranges have crept up to.

Ive been very much appreciating the way you go through tabletop history! It's been an eye opening experience. Keep up the good work!

Carnt go wrong with Dudge Dredd 👍🎲

Another period of history, in the immediate post-WW1 era, is the Estonian War of Independence against the Soviet Union, and the subsequent "Landwehr War" to liberate Lithuania of rogue German Freikorps, crushing the hopes of an Imperial Baltic Duchy in the last days of the German Empire. Fascinating time period, would love to wargame it!

I would add the Friekorps period in Germany, which was really part of the war that saw the Russo Polish and Russian Civil Wars. I have figures for that period from Sheltrum Miniatures, who also cover the Chaco Wars. I also game the Rif Wars.

Good vidéo Thank you. But 1/72 is bigger than 20mm

good job. I learned a lot.

Any game that limits your actions, rather than Igo/Ugo move all your toys, is good for solo wargaming. Chain of Command with it's variable command dice is a favourite. DBx for ancients uses a command roll for each general again limiting what you can do, others like Bolt Action with its order dice, let you move everything but in an un-predictable manner.

Great explanations. Just picked up the sci-fi 5 parsecs from home and though I'll do some co-op with friends, I definitely plan to do some solo when our schedules don't match up

What scale is this? It looks less than 15mm but way bigger than 6 mm and also more than 10mm to me.

a fun solo war game i found is Trench knife, its a ww1 pocket tin game that is very much fun and in depth. works good .

I wrote a set of 6mm WW2 micro armour rules called ‘All Hell Let Loose’, that are good for solo wargaming. You can get a pdf or a physical book from Wargames Vault.

I find it helpful to create some randomized dice roll lists for enemy reactions. I also created formation and movement cards to randomize whats happening on the board.

I can heartily recommend the Two Hour Wargames series of rules. They are designed specifically for solo play and support cooperative and PVP gaming too. Games such as Nuts! for WW2 and 5150 for Sci Fi amongst others are a good starting point. .

Every game is 15mm if you're cool enough. Great vid, bud. Keep 'em coming!

Thanks for the video. After returning to the hobby last year after a twenty year break I found all the different scales very confusing as which would be best. Have ended up with bits of each scale and one thing I only recently started to think about was scenery. If you are into too many scales you have to build make and store scenery for each scale as well!

The 155mm Howitzer M1917 is a Schneider, not a GPF. The GPF was the 155mm Gun M1918. Longer barrel and less elevation. It was used in WWII by the US mounted on an M3 medium tank chassis as the M12 Gun Motor Carriage.

Thanks for the video, been interested in it for a while. It's always seemed daunting to start an army

Great advice, always great when people try to get more people into the hobby!

This video is full of excellent tips! Cheapskate approved!

Cromarty forge produces a great range that includes Celtics, Romans (early to late periods), Iberian, Carthagians etc.

Great review. Have a look at the Cromarty Forge range. John has produced the files in 10mm, 13.5mm, and 15mm. If you don't have a 3D printer ask John for permission to use a business to print them for you. I use Potbelly Miniatures here in New Zealand. The Plastic Soldier Company stocks and sells the Cromarty Forge range in various scales.

Hello, if I want to play battles, big or skirmish from the Dune series, which system would be best? I mean more like from the movies than from the RTS series.

They probably all deserted

One page rules if you have a limited budget.

Came back to watch this one. Very interesting history! I've started thumbing through your old issues :)

Yay elephants! Too many cool models and games to play, not enough. Neat to see that each stand is sort of 'one model' as it were. Must be fun to paint!

Can I shamelessly advertise our 15 or 20mm setting here? "theBlockWar" is a scifi game system that my friend and I work on 😁

AA are one of my favourite companies and I have bought a fair bit from them. Excellent service with fast and well packed turn round, they often have sales and free figures. The ranges thay carry are a real mixture and well worth looking through.

Indeed, Tomorrow's War is fantastic!

When looking for the rules for Tomorrow's War, make sure to get the second edition. That's a stand alone rulebook. The 1st edition requires an additional main rulebook.

Have you ever visited bills wargame world YT channel?

Great video am on board !

Excellent video sir. Subscribed. Hello from Arizona 👋

my first war game was middle earth strategy battle game 😭

👍🇨🇦

Age of Sigmar Spearhead is a great starting place for wargaming.

When did you purchase these? I've only seen the Space Marines, Death Korps, and Cadian sculpts in 15mm.

Nippon Warmaster. Have you tired basing on 20x40 stands?

Not sure about WH 40k. The game has a fantastic lore, however, the miniatures are expensive IMHO. Unless you pick up used minis from Ebay.

Frostgrave was the first game I played after a long long time away from gaming. 6 years later we still play the game.

I want to get into 15mm because 28mm is so expensive that I can't afford it, and 15mm allows for bigger scale warfare. Do you have any 15mm games you could recommend?

Cool to see starter sets with tons of accessories still, that’s one thing I feel has been lacking from other companies putting out similar starter products.
