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.
i dunno. i felt like whenever the game was interrupted with the post game commentary, it took me out of it. i would just like to see how the game pans out without so much information being displayed from the commentary
"A few more victories like this, and the war will be lost." - Ben, The Battle of Chateau de le Moumurmur/Claire Papignon/l'Eglise St Voiloustenoinounou, 1944 AD. “If we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans, we shall be utterly ruined.” Pyrrhus of Epirus, the Battle of Heraclea, 280 BC.
If I remember rightly Ben did a dissertation or something of the sort on Pyrrhus? Could be someone else in the yogs but I seem to remember Ben mentioning that at some point.
Just came here from triforce haha (I think it’s episode 181 or 182?), I also remember them mentioning Pyrion’s military toys>lego when I was peeking at the big 200. I just remembered seeing a vid on this channel with Pyrion and Lewis.
Pyrion 'Himmler' Flax: channelling a potent German accent fighting for the Reich before miscalculating a tactical artillery strike Lewis 'Quartermaster' Brindley: sending his squad into an assault deployment with substandard weaponry and then blaming Ben The more things change, the more they stay the same
Nice to see some tabletop games back on Games Night. I’m also excited to see other wargames outside of Games Workshop being features. Hope to see more content like this in the future!
This format is really good. Basically the guys talking about the highlights of the game. Doesn't get bogged down with rule checks and anything they aren't sure about so it keeps the video going. i watched this one and the last 20 min game they played and was so dissapointed that there aren't more i can binge on. More like this please. Really enjoyed it
I always appreciate the production value and love that the Yogscast seems to give to so many of their videos. Always such high-quality content. Even without knowing a thing about the game or even that much about miniatures, I thoroughly enjoyed this video still.
As much as i miss and prefer the live format of battleboys im just happy to see the boys playing tabletop/miniatures again. Pyrion is an awesome addition into the dynamic though and i hope that whatever format you prefer to create sticks around long term.
"A bunch of Germans coming across the field with semi-auto Uzi's." -Lewis Brindley So many things wrong and funny about that quote lol Fantastic video regardless of my firearms related ocd
the editing format of this episode was fantastic, a really great way to compress all the good moments of a TTG without the dull parts. would love to see the return of the battle boys in this kind of style
I enjoyed the mixed commentary, live gameplay + post game discussion at the same time. It was far better than just doing live gameplay and then having a post game discussion.
I love this format, it's really refreshing and condensed. I like the idea of pulling the narrative out of the play session and focusing on the story aspect of the game. Also like long-form but it's really nice to have both worlds. Thanks!
You've absolutely nailed this format guys, it's perfect! 👌 Loving the war stories vibe with just enough of the dice rolling and banter cut in, very well done. Really enjoyed the Blackstone Fortress vid too! Hope to see more soon, maybe some narrative campaigns, 40k, Kill Team, Necromunda or some games of X-wing or Armada?
19:21 Lewis the entire game. The dice gods are fickle beings. Loved the Battrep, I like the new style of show gameplay AND then the post game discussion. But it also means we don't get hours of content, a small price to pay.
This was really fun to watch. I think watching the whole thing may have been a bit annoying, checking the rules etc, so this edited version was noice. Ta
I really enjoy the condensed version because it adds some new dimensions to these vids. I do wish you'd still release the whole session unabridged so we can watch along as the game progresses and see all the silly little bits that are missed in this style.
After playing so much Bolt Action myself it's so awesome to see you guys upload a video of you playing it on Games Night. Really hope we can see more games of Bolt Action!
I just imagine the German artillery officer hearing those requests for support "Agh, mein apologiez ve are buzy dealing viz ozzer calls right now" "For ze love auf ze fuhrer VE ARE BUZY. STAHP CALLING ZIS LINE!" "Mein godt- FINE VE VILL SEND SUPPORT. BE VARNED, DANGER CLOSE." "Uh hallo? Vas? YOU KILLED YOUR KOMMENDANT UND FLATTENED ZE CHURCH?!"
Brilliantly executed format, both this and the Blackstone Fortress video. Great flow, interesting commentary, perfect length, and the cherry on top was the editing for the fighting.
It’s tough to watch board games being played on RUclips in my opinion. However this format works for me. A nice mix of gameplay with their commentary was pleasant to watch.
I know these videos probably take way more effort to shoot, make and edit than the TTT that get way more views but thankyou for putting the effort in, it's really great. The red/blue lighting/grade is so great.
More of this please! I can see that so much thought and effort went into making this enjoyable to watch, its like some kind of rocket science right here!
Absolutely brilliant battle rep - really nicely edited, that Joe kid has some real talent. Great job all round. Battle boys are imo the absolute pinnacle of tabletop wargaming stuff, and though rare, I love when you upload stuff. Shoutout to Pyrion, for a first appearance he was fantastically fun, loved his goofy german RP, with everyone called Hans. Great work lads, hopefully we'll see more someday!
So good to see games night back! And j loved the new format of the back and forth between recap and each round! Was really back and forth between who I thought was winning!
This is the second video of y'all's I've seen but I absolutely love it! Also its a great ambassador video for Bolt Action, which I hadn't even heard of before these videos but now I'm **obsessed**.
Very happy to see uploads again to this channel. I know it mustn’t be massively incentivised given the lower view counts, but it really is a great super chill channel. Also, Ben is just a beacon of joy in the world, and seeing him passionate gives me a renewed vigour in my life.
The background color lighting changes from blue to orange was a good idea to show the game highlights and the commentary afterwards.
Oh wow, you're right! I didn't even notice it before you mentioned it
Oh! You're right that's brilliant!
Yeah its a subconscious thing, works.
Yes the more I watch the video after reading this comment the more I like the fact that they did this. It makes it all VERY clear.
I still have questions about how the same brick wall can change colour so radically.
This is BY FAR the best tabletop wargame video format that I've ever seen.
Highly approved.
Would love to see more.
I didn't want to click on the video because games like this can be hard to stay interested in. But this format is great. I wanted it to be longer even

@@massjammster7986 very true I agree but kinda wanted to see that void as well but I can see why this is better for most people

The US officer getting sniped while his squad advances without him is classic.
More bolt action please
I could listen to Pyrion's German commander impression all day.
Yeah that was legit
It's like the Battle Boys are back again. More miniature games! They're always such a laugh with you guys.
Joe does such a good job!
♪ We are the battle boys
@@NotaroName Playing with little toys!
Don’t let Tom here you say that

Pyrion and Lewis are making an amazing resurgence! Scrub casting and now MINIATURES I could die.
For real dude I live for this content 😂

@@geeksunited3873 You are correct! It was in one of the Total War: Arena videos if memory serves.
ah yes the phyric victory so to speak or in this case the Pyrionic victory.
Thank you for that quote. I always wondered where the term "Pyrrhic victory" came from.
Love bolt action, would love to see more
I would love to see a film about battle games on your channel :D
"For the best really. He was properly going to get court marshaled if he survived this battle." Power energy that.

As a fan of Bolt Action, I've really been looking forward to this ever since Pyrion mentioned it on Triforce
Just came here from triforce haha (I think it’s episode 181 or 182?), I also remember them mentioning Pyrion’s military toys>lego when I was peeking at the big 200. I just remembered seeing a vid on this channel with Pyrion and Lewis.
ben is such a good game master for literally everything, really a master at work
The best shark
Pyrion 'Himmler' Flax: channelling a potent German accent fighting for the Reich before miscalculating a tactical artillery strike
Lewis 'Quartermaster' Brindley: sending his squad into an assault deployment with substandard weaponry and then blaming Ben
The more things change, the more they stay the same
I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed pyrion’s striking resemblance
Sounds like the Paratroopers should have used more Hi-Ex!
just like in Lewis and Ben save the world.
Can't believe they actually got Heinrich Himmler to play as the Germans!
I'm not a boardgame player, but this format was entertaining and easy to understand. Thanks!

Ah yes, bolt action. One of the most sleek games I've played in a long time. Always good to see more content like this.
2:51 don't forget the part where it time traveled 7 months to the past
The way this was edited was so immersive
I know I’m reading this 2 years later but I did not expect to see you here lol
Can't believe they actually got Heinrich Himmler to play as the Germans. Top Quality!
Best thing about this is that they clearly had a good time, and we got to see the good bits.
I love these battle reports. So good. can't wait for more!
As much as i miss and prefer the live format of battleboys im just happy to see the boys playing tabletop/miniatures again. Pyrion is an awesome addition into the dynamic though and i hope that whatever format you prefer to create sticks around long term.

So many things wrong and funny about that quote lol
Fantastic video regardless of my firearms related ocd
I noticed that too! XD
that one hurt a little. lmao
a very Bristol sentence
Yeeeah that one goes in a cringe comp somewhere lol
the editing format of this episode was fantastic, a really great way to compress all the good moments of a TTG without the dull parts. would love to see the return of the battle boys in this kind of style
This format was excellent! You really should keep capitalizing on the the resource you have in Ben, a S+ tier tabletop wargamer.
Please, we need the Battle Boys back, these are some of my favorite videos to watch.
I enjoyed the mixed commentary, live gameplay + post game discussion at the same time. It was far better than just doing live gameplay and then having a post game discussion.
Lewis is rocking the middle aged bathrobe look.
Love how salty Lewis is about his "elite assault" unit.
"im gonna take it slow" without hesitation runs in guns blazing right after saying so, loved the video and i cant wait for the next one
I love this format, it's really refreshing and condensed. I like the idea of pulling the narrative out of the play session and focusing on the story aspect of the game. Also like long-form but it's really nice to have both worlds. Thanks!

7:13 - i'm new to table-top games. pulling out a tape measurer to move pieces is both hilarious and ingenious to me
This was amazing! The editting was perfect, humour was perfect. Gotta get back into Warhammer with this style of video
Lol, that officer at 6:45. "Follow me boys! I'm right behind you! " BLAM!!😂😂
Loved this. the tight editing and cutting between the post-game chat and the game in progress increased the entertainment value 100%
I really enjoy the condensed version because it adds some new dimensions to these vids. I do wish you'd still release the whole session unabridged so we can watch along as the game progresses and see all the silly little bits that are missed in this style.
"You cant hit the broad side of a barn"
"But what about the broad side of a church?"
MORE GAMES NIGHT! Thank you so much guys, i love bolt action and seeing you guys back together is such fun. Cheers from the US.
Also it is not proper bolt action without terrible german accent.
This was a fun one, really liked the little details in editing and you all seemed to enjoy it!
After playing so much Bolt Action myself it's so awesome to see you guys upload a video of you playing it on Games Night. Really hope we can see more games of Bolt Action!

Love to see Pyrion get the game he wanted so much on Triforce
Pleas please please more of this! I love watching you all play historical miniatures games
I'm not even a fan of playing these tabletop games, but I'd love more of these videos.
So happy to see this type of video back! I know how much work it is and how they do get relatively few views but I do really love these tabletop vids.
Understandably, you can't make these kinds of videos very often, but when you do, they're hands down the best miniatures batreps on RUclips.
Absolutely love this video format, I've been keen to see more ever since the Blackstone Fortress video
The format you deliver these battle reports is great, wish you did more
Brilliantly executed format, both this and the Blackstone Fortress video. Great flow, interesting commentary, perfect length, and the cherry on top was the editing for the fighting.
Been a little while since I've seen a video from this set but the sound is so much better than I remember. Keep up the hard work Yog-crew!
Absolutely top notch! Would love to see more of this style!
I see the descendants of the great Generals both decided to become historians and are here to recap the epic battle
This was fantastic. I have missed Yogs playing wargames so much. Please bring it back!
I like how they change up every battlerport to see what works best and I am here like "they are all perfect"
It’s tough to watch board games being played on RUclips in my opinion. However this format works for me. A nice mix of gameplay with their commentary was pleasant to watch.
more battle boys like this! I love the quick and snappy format, very fun and funny!
I would LOVE to see more of this. The editing is simply amazing as well!
I really wanna see more games of this, format was great and always love seeing Pyrion playing
This was really great to watch, love the format and nice to see a return to the tabletop.
I know these videos probably take way more effort to shoot, make and edit than the TTT that get way more views but thankyou for putting the effort in, it's really great. The red/blue lighting/grade is so great.
i really like this format for a batrep btw. keeps it entertaining and concise
Exciting!!! Thank you Joe, PFlax, Ben, and Lewis!
The post-game report cut with in game footage was an excellent way to present this. Well done lads.
More of this please! I can see that so much thought and effort went into making this enjoyable to watch, its like some kind of rocket science right here!
Format and editing were fantastic!
great editing and format!! i'd love to see more of this
Wow I normally don't watch or enjoy these as much as main channel stuff, but this was truly epic. Great stuff.
Absolutely brilliant battle rep - really nicely edited, that Joe kid has some real talent. Great job all round. Battle boys are imo the absolute pinnacle of tabletop wargaming stuff, and though rare, I love when you upload stuff.
Shoutout to Pyrion, for a first appearance he was fantastically fun, loved his goofy german RP, with everyone called Hans. Great work lads, hopefully we'll see more someday!
ive never been a huge fan of miniature war games but i loved this video and this format. Please do more like it!
Lewis looks more and more like some hippie/cult leader the more I see him
He's preparing for his next role as the villain of the next Far Cry game
@@russianbot7875 I can see him ordering around his henchmen and making decisions based on dice rolls
Maybe everyone is afraid to tell the boss he looks like an idiot.
Joe's editing touch on this really worked! love to see more.
FINALLY! I've been playing bolt action for years now and I always wanted you guys to play it! YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS, I need more!
Excellently produced, edited, and played. Loved the combination of these three and would love to see more
Great game, great video. I loved the format, the length, the changing studio lights... And the CGI effects!
So good to see games night back! And j loved the new format of the back and forth between recap and each round! Was really back and forth between who I thought was winning!
The background colour changes, the camera work, and the editing are all brilliant!
This was everything Tom and Ben had cracked it up to be. This is a refreshing new direction for the yogscast, and i'd love to see more like this.
brilliant tabletop batrep format. best i've seen and i've watched a fair truckload. you should do more like this. excellent length and style.
Fantastic format for tabletop games! you've really nailed it. Easy to follow, cuts out all the boring bits and funny edits. Very cool
So happy to see real physical games back on Games Night!!!!!
O man. Please make this weekly. I could watch this forever.
Love to watch you guys play miniature games! Keep up the good work.
Love these! It's interesting to see how much the production and camera work has came since then.
I love this format. You guys do battle reports better than anyone else.
So much fun watching this! Would love to see the full, unedited version in all of its dice rolling glory
This was brilliant, really kept the focus on the narrative and the fun of the game. Exactly how a battle report should be done, hope you do more.
Really appreciate the effort and time that went into putting this together and getting it out
This is the second video of y'all's I've seen but I absolutely love it! Also its a great ambassador video for Bolt Action, which I hadn't even heard of before these videos but now I'm **obsessed**.
Amazing camera work. Love the story telling/ post game format
i was hoping for this video from the moment they talked about this game on triforce
high quality content. new era for the yogscast. keep it up.
Excellent format! I like how they did the retrospective commentary alongside the main game
Absolutely loved this. More please!!
Really enjoyed the format of this... the interspersed post-match / in-game footage was really unique. Looking forward to more of this!
Awesome, any physical/live-action tabletop or board games from the Yogs are just the best.
Very happy to see uploads again to this channel. I know it mustn’t be massively incentivised given the lower view counts, but it really is a great super chill channel. Also, Ben is just a beacon of joy in the world, and seeing him passionate gives me a renewed vigour in my life.
