  • We spent the day playing Bolt Action, a World War II miniature wargame. Lewis plays as the Americans, advancing into German territory defended by Pyrion Flax. With assault troops, tanks, and heavy ranged weapons on both sides, who will emerge from the rubble and arise victorious?

      Absolutely. You can really see the work put into the vid and it pays off; defo main channel content here. Also with the after the fact story telling addition it makes what could be 'a too long to watch' vod into something very entertaining to watch on its own in a more accessable manner.

    Are you doing tabletop games again?!
    May I make some requests my good sir...?
    1) STAR TREK: ARMADA - these were the BEST games you ever did on yt. Honestly Armada is so good and it was so cool watching you play with somebody explaining a bit of the rules as you went along. Would love to see a big game of this, maybe a 2 v 2.
    2) An Age of Sigmar game! I don't you think you ever played this, but it would be great to see you have a 'classic' game, ie good v evil - something like Stormcast and humans v Skaven, or Duradin v Orruks.
    3) 40k. Just because. Maybe an expanded version of whatever the latest release is, so they have just released a Grey Knights v Tzeentch box which would be amazing.
    Other games to look at:
    Battlefleet Gothic: Cool old style 40k space combat. Maybe call up Andy Chambers and ask him down to play!
    Judge Dredd Miniatures game: 2000ad! Punk British!
    Classic Battletech: Robots!
    Elder Scrolls miniature game: Get some of that Bethsada sponsorship money!
    Frostgrave: UNderground hipster miniatures game! Very cool....
    That should keep you going!

    Love it guys, it's wonderful to see Pyrion enjoying it so much as well, as we know he really wanted to play this. I love the format, however I would love the full unedited battle to be watchable as well, maybe for members of the main channel? Cheers everyone involved in making it.

      I wouldn't watch it but I'd love it to be available. Maybe as an unlisted video on this channel linked from this video?

    Even if it's from the older season, a great story and well played. Yes the FX are improved in the newer videos, but the spirit is the same!
