Definitely. There is so much nuanced in the various in built rules and exceptions of DBMM that help produce a really historical feel to the decision making, as well as a great game!
There is one more situation in which short moves only cost 1 PiP. That is if you're using a single element as opposed to a group. This is a very important point to watch.
Yep, Difficult Evolutions mostly apply only to groups unless otherwise stated. (Although you can end up having single element moves cost more than 1, for example if it unit suffers from irregular clumsiness and the single element move isn't straight ahead.)
Yep, this one was the hardest of all the videos I had planned to try to work out how I was going to present the video, because there is just so much to cover and I didn't want the video to be really long!
really great explanations. I would be even happier if they were twice as long with more specific examples shown by moving your awesome looking minis around- very well done- thank you!
Yes. At least 2. 1 base and +1 for doing a difficult evolution. Of course if there are other factors like the general being in combat or the group being mixed mounted and foot it can be higher. But at least 2.
Yes, I thought hard about how best to do this, but there are so many moves discussed in this video I feared that also having clips of them taking place might make the episode twenty minutes long!
So Im guessing these vids got recommended to me because I play Warhammer and SW: Legion but like, where do you even get models for this game? A google search revealed nothing relevant.
That will be because it isn't linked to any particular figure manufacturer. If you google miniatures manufacturers of the scale you are interested in (eg 6mm, 15/18mm or 25/28mm) and, ideally, the army you're interested in, you will generally find you are spoilt for choice. Eg in 15/18mm in the US, Khurasan and Old Glory (19th Century Miniatures) are key manufacturers. In the UK/EU, there is Essex, Museum, Lancashire, Minifigs, Blue Moon. These are just off the top of my head and I know I will have left off manufacturers whose figures I own and love. If you have an army in mind, ask people for figure recommendations to get you started.
Really glad to have you, especially if this is your first historical wargame! As John said, in historical wargaming it is normal that the rules writers don't make the miniatures, unlike say Games Workshop of Fantasy Flight. For 6mm: Baccus has the nicest figures with one of the biggest ranges. For 28mm: you have some plastics by Victrix and Warlord, plus some metals by Essex, Old Glory, Aventine and others. For 15mm: you have the biggest range - Essex, Outpost, Old Glory, Museum Miniatures, Minifigs, Blue Moon, Khurasan, Xyston, Peter Pig (and no doubt I will be missing some) Best starting point is to pick an army/period you are interested in and google X army Ymm miniatures. You'll often find comparison photos between the manufactures that can help you decide who you want to use. If you like a particular period/scale let us know and we could help direct you to nice figs for that army.
LOL, I am a long time DBMM player (all the way back to the original version of DBM) and I have just gotten into Warhammer 40k. I far prefer historical wargaming (and DBMM is my favorite table top ruleset) but it is definitely fun to try something different and I am enjoying Warhammer (especially the painting).
@@opheliamoonrose4316 DOH, too late. I have 1500 points of Necrons and 600 points of Ultramarines fully painted and another 3000 points of Necrons/Marines put together and undercoated. That is a lot of painting and I have only played a couple of small test games. DBMM gives me my medieval style of wargame and it is a very different game from Warhammer but both are fun in their own way. Warhammer is a side hobby (although painting Necrons has sidelined painting my Mycenaean Greeks for the moment), whilst DBMM is my main wargaming hobby. If you are interested in ancient and/or medieval military history then it might be worth a look.

I hope you don’t stop making these! Great exposure for the hobby! Got my sub.
Just listen to the rules and recognizing again that DBMM isn't that easy but it works in a marvelous way ;-) ...well explained :-)

Many thanks Jack. More pictures and video of toy soldiers would help the explanation.

This is a quality channel!
Thanks so much!
hi, for regular element, do wheel 2-8 elements wide of up to 90° cost 2 PIP ?
Yes. At least 2. 1 base and +1 for doing a difficult evolution.
Of course if there are other factors like the general being in combat or the group being mixed mounted and foot it can be higher.
But at least 2.
@@irhobbies188 ok ty. its different than DBM, i think:)
great video, but should show the miniatures executing what you are describing. if nothing else just admiring the figures is worth it.

@@Curaissier Noooooo, dont do 40k. Age of Sigmar is a much better game. ESPECIALLY now that the new rules edition has dropped.
