I don't know what the ground scale is in OPR but in Chain of Command the ground scale is 12" = 40 yards which is pretty much the perfect ground scale if you use 15mm miniatures
OPR already announced 10mm game coming out later this year. Alien Hive being one of the 2 armies for Grim Dark Future. 10 mm Saurians and Mummified Undead for Age of Fantasy.
@@WarbossFitz I think when they drop small scale there will be a huge number of guys who are introduced for the first time small scale and will realize how awesome it is
I like this narrative style battle report, especially with the sound and visual effects. The multi-base units worked well, I think and i agree with the small unit sizes. I've added your channel to my followed list!
Thanks for the feedback and encouragement everybody. I'm coming up with rules to structure the huge games and make them flow better for battle reports. I'm going to release them as we get closer to the kick off of the 2024 age of fantasy campaign.
I, for one, will be watching closely how you out your campaign together. It is something that has been rattling around in my mind for the last year, and I am really interested in how someone else approaches this. Someone has to do it first snd looks like you are the proverbial guinea pig. I am rooting for you!
Ive been making 15mm for about 2 years now. You can fit a lot of armies in a small space at 15mm. Kids love them. You picked 2 of the better armies for this. SSH and Battle Sisters are a nightmare. Tiny fidly legs and arms of the SSH and the BS weapons/backpacks and the skirt bits are just so small its hard to get them to come out right. Ive also started to base them in the slicer. Using Lychee you can take a base and combine it with the model and then export it as a new stl. They are small enough that its not a ton of resin. Ive also found that using the OPR presupports can be pretty hit or miss. Glad they worked out so well for you. Love the idea of the cake box bases. Keep up the good work!
So i absolutely love this. I appreciate the work you are putting in. Ive been working on a hex board that allows for quick terrain change and can work for sci fi or fantasy. Full scale size is great but takes a ton of space. Ima get my hex board done to a 3x2 ft board, Make a couple 10mm armies and join you in your crusade kind sir. 10 mm is faster to paint with some decent room for creativity. I love your channel
I think your a GENIUS!!!!! Keep doing that stream of consciousness thingy!!!!!! Do you mind if we use kings of war rules??? I have a TON of empire of dust and my wife plays dwarfs!!!!! Any how LOVE what your dong and I made 15 mm fantasy armies 30 years ago so I could do something there I guess. I use the old 15mm Ralpartha D&D battle systems figs. Older than dirt:)!
I'm kinda trying the same thing with Chivalrous Kingdoms and I want to use it for Warhammer The Old World. My main creator is Highland Miniatures. Since his are originally at 32mm, I reduce to 43.75%.
I've played with old epic miniatures and Drop-zone ones for a while, works great. I can play in a small corner of my office and leave games there between turns without wife complain + can have huge battles with dozens of units still at a reasonable speed thanks to OPR.
I always found 1in=1cm to be a more elegant way to convert rules when scaling the mini's down. literally just use the opposite side of the mini-ruler lol
My OPR game club here in Oklahoma City plays 15mm OPR with OPR and forest dragon minis all the time. A lot of 10mm and epic scale minis blow up really well to 15mm. We don't multi-base but it looks fun too. Big thing is all your ranges are half. And your armies start 12 inches apart.
I have an unusually large gaming table. What me and my friends do is turn 1, we call it “fresh legs.” All units have double movement for that one turn. Scouts still get +12” on top of that
I love that you are trying different things. It's all about learning and enjoying the ride as you go along. :) I really like the effects in the battle report!
Love your BRs and I am super excited for the campaign. Also excited for the idea of combining the grim dark future and warfleet games. I’ve been wanting to do that myself!
Ive watched some of your other snall milimeter games and they were just as enjoyable as any of your other battle reports. Pretty sweet you can get your models to another scale without losing anything. My opinion regardless ngthe battle report is that i missed the play by play narration you usually do. It helps to tie the onscreen action and effects together as well as it means i can look away (to paint my models!) and not miss out on the action. Honestly, your battle reports with static pictures, no dice, narrated action, and some sounds and effects are my favorite to warch, more than the traditional "watch the guys play the game and see the dice roll."
It got lost in the sauce here. Looking at what would be best, I am going to break down armies into detachments on the table and activate all of them at once. That way an activation is more substantial. The activations aren't jumping from flank to flank
Lots of hard work into this one! I missed hearing your normal commentary for the attacks, I think it is a little more fun to watch with your narration vs the voices. I like the commentary on crazy rolls etc. It was fun seeing a larger battle report! Great work! I am excited to follow a larger campaign.
Yeah editing it was a bit weird too. For the campaign I am working out a detachment system so multiple units under a hero will activate at a time. So if we have an army with 50 units, it will be 10-15 activations instead of 50. And so I can put more flavor into the descriptions instead of "spearmen march forward" 20 times.
If you really wanna go easy on your math and mission, r duce everything by 40% - which means round about 12 mm and use the metric system. 12 inches got 12 cm. A 6x4 board gets 72x42 cm. All stats stay the same. Just in another scale.
With the larger points value, how was game play time wise? Was it about the same or did it take longer to play? I would love to do huge Sci fi armies in a smaller scale, but I am concerned over how long it would take to play them before I invest time and resources into going down that path 26:47
Gameplay wasn't bad. It was about as long as a regular 1500 point game. The multibasing helps with that. Ask me again when we break the 10,000 point barrier
Cool. I'm looking forward to seeing your games of these. I straight up used Warmaster models on their warmaster bases for mini scale fantasy. for sci-fi I ended up sticking them onto coins.
The 15 mm scale looks awesome! I would have gon with single bases, but now I've seen your approach I reconsider. =) I started collecting 1/72 minis which are totally awesome for medieval and fantasy games. I base them on coins and put them on bases with magnetic tape on it. I do 3x2, 4x2, and 5x2 bases respectively, which I then can combine on the table to phalanx, cohort, what have you. Let's keep DIYing the hell out of the hobby! :D
What layer height did you print at? I've been wanting to scale down my minis to make a travel boardgame sized set to take on vacation. Im also brand new to printing so idk if there is a huge difference between .05mm or .02mm layer height realistically.
You get to put days into your videos, hours and hours into 3d printing and paint, AND you get to play OPR. You are kind of my hero. You are the goat.
I don't know what the ground scale is in OPR but in Chain of Command the ground scale is 12" = 40 yards which is pretty much the perfect ground scale if you use 15mm miniatures

When that releases I will switch over. For now though. I'm impatient 😁
Did OPA actually confirm this and when? Iv been waiting years for this and I know he always says it's being worked on
@@control745 I'm in the same boat. I hear that it is coming I just don't know when

10mm fantasy " regiments" is perfect. I could see 15mm being good too
your right. I may be trying to reinvent the wheel
@WarbossFitz It's a lot easier to handle when they're small like that at 15 or 10 mm. You're definitely onto something!
Suffering through. For the WAAAGH!

I would just add a few bigger supports to the existing supports.

I don't have a problem with it. Just send in the ending info and I can add that to the averages

I play like this and it works great. We use a 3x2 feet mat and deploy within 18cm. Just use CMS instead of inches for everything

Mantic are doing Epic Warpath in Feb
The minis look great and I hyped for the campaign😊
Love your BRs and I am super excited for the campaign. Also excited for the idea of combining the grim dark future and warfleet games. I’ve been wanting to do that myself!
im doing all my fantasy in15 mm and using cm instead of inches to make playspace smaller, thank you for your videos best opr content
your rules about halfing distances works soo much better, and the campaign looks awesome
Thanks!

I do not and will not use Discord. Is there any alternative system I can use? Email? Guilded? a new subreddit?
I could have it routed through an email as well
I dig the battle report. ngl.
I would be happy to help out on discord.
Rough around the edges a bit, but a fun batrep. Setting up vampiric undead to try out at similar scale.
Lots of hard work into this one! I missed hearing your normal commentary for the attacks, I think it is a little more fun to watch with your narration vs the voices.

I think this style of battle report works very well for the larger points and the smaller scale. It was easy to follow and see what each unit did.

My machine is set at 0.02 for everything. Setting it at 0.05 doesn't make much of a difference though.
I like it. I used to play a 15mm fantasy game that was a lot of fun.
Battrep is a nice concept, fits the scale imo.
On board with sending in results.
I would love to participate in the campaign! Is it going to be 15mm scale for the mail in too, or would we be able to use regular 32mm armies?
You can use any scale you like and any army you like
@@WarbossFitz perfect! I’ve got a couple armies and I’m sure I can convince some of my friends to help out too
As far as your campaign goes will you only want opr minis or can i use the gw ones i have when a battle comes around for them?
You can use anything! It dosent even have to be the same game system! I will explain that part when we get closer to the start of the campaign
@@WarbossFitz sounds good
