I like seeing larger battles like this even though they do take a long time to play. What I've done in the past when involved in a large game was to try and set it up at one person's house so we cold leave it and come back the next day to finish it up, makes for a fun weekend. Also I really liked having the sub titles this time so maybe using them a bit more when describing fleets as well as afterwards??
This was fun, and it's great seeing everyone together playing! I think a mix of these larger and smaller battles would be nice to see on the channel, so you get a bit of each now and again!
Sorry it took a few days to get the time to watch this, but it was worth finding the time for! What an amazing battle! Even if it took you guys a whole day to play it seems like you had a whale of a time. 😁 The board and the models both looked great and really well painted. I've been trying to figure out how big the the statue of Ganesh (I assume) would be. Even in the middle on an intense battle it must have been a spectacular sight to from the deck of a ship. I agree that feeling forced to take mercenaries sucks.
Really fun battle to see! It was really back and forth fighting which was really cool to see! I agree it was a little much for the strategic reserves and how powerful they are. The game overall comes across as very killer.
Wow! What an epic battle! And it really showed the importance of using Strategic Reserves. I hate that the Schneider was shredded and shelved, because I just bought that set and was hoping that it would be awesome for The Enlightened. I'd love to play in a game this huge, but ten hours is a long time for this family man. LOL. Great job on this report.
Such a fantastic battle! And yeah, It really highlights the power of Strategic Reserves. I would like to see more smaller battles, ideally with the Alliance. (My chosen faction, and I'm looking for pointers on how best to run them.
Definiteley MY source of inspiration to go on and buy another box ;) Thanks a lot for sharing guys and keep up the good work. I've been listening to this one while building up my own platforms from the Cyclone of Shadows Box and can't wait to watch again and have a closer look at the fleets and the course of the game. Just one thing I already noticed: The "Sharpshooter" Rule of the Gladius is meant to only apply to attacks with the Gunnery Quality as far as I know. Mistake on my part or tactically genius misinterpretation by the Alliance player? :)
Well there's a size of game we can all aspire to! Apologies if I missed it, but was that still a 6x4 table? And if so, was it starting to feel crowded at all/would a 8x4 work better? Either way, good game, and looking forward to the next battle report!
Merci ! On a passé une dizaine d'heures en tout environ, mais en comptant les discussions entre alliés, les vérifications de règles, les bières, les cafés, le repas... au final ça a dû représenter 4 heures de jeu maximum 🙂
Definitely sounds like strategic reserves tendbto run a little strong. Some other thoughts for fixes if you find using crippled values on thr turn yoy arrive isnt enough 1) on the crit for turn 1 or turn 2 you dont have access to the entire board edge only half of it, but you can roll to show up on the crit to access the entire board edge or turn 3 you can show uo from anywhere on the board edge 2) you dont automatically show up on turn 2 but instead only show up on any hit result and if you dont show up turn 2 then turn 3 you show up on anything but a blank and failing that you show up automatically on turn 4
Thank you! If you want to see a massive Crown Rotor Force, just wait until the next (already recorded) Battle Report. Task Force Mordred will not let these invader sail around in impunity 😄
J'espère gagner cette flotte et l'offrir à un nouveau joueur sur Nantes. Faisons grandir notre communauté ! I hope to win this fleet so I can offer it to a new player on Nantes. Let's make our community bigger !
Very starnge, i was the first to comment ( video online for 13 min) and know my comment it is gone. but still great game, great channel, need more dystopian wars online, and yes count me in for that battle fleet.
Thats a lot of ships 😂, great game! Keep going, I want to see more battlereps!!😂😂
Yeah that was a LOT ! You won't have to wait as long for the next Battle Reports 🙂

Thanks for the Dystopian Wars content!

Love those in-scale trees and plants! :-) They must be huge enough so you can carve in entire small town :-)
I think those high point counts really give the factions space to shine
When those Levants appeared behind the Daedalus....wow!
Just getting into this game. Its great to see the Empire so I can learn some tricks. This is Awesome!
got me hooked on Dystopian Wars
Now I know what I can watch this evening on TV😂😂
Holy cow, what a batrep. Inspiring for our setup too, but we're gonna have more players on each side I think!
Really fun battle to see! It was really back and forth fighting which was really cool to see! I agree it was a little much for the strategic reserves and how powerful they are. The game overall comes across as very killer.
damn that's a massive battle ! thanks for the video

merci pour le rapport de bataille !
awsome looking terrain, seems like a blast to play that way
Awesome game! Nice to see such fleets!
Great game and I agree reserves feel quite powerful.
Love every battlereport you make just Love to See more!
Thank you very much!
An impressive battle with a lot of beautiful ships and terrains. Thanks for the video.
Noice Match, love the see EobS in action
I really like these massiv games, all these ships in one place just look great
That was an amazing massive battle
What a massive game! Would be cool to try this again but dropping to 1000 pts and including all eight factions! 😁
Fun watch, thank you.
The resins pieces of the warcradle archipielagos on top extra island terrain around is a great idea! I want to do the same
Talk about a huge game!
Great video!

Wow, what a battle!
love big games and the battlefleet would be mine!

Yeah larger games are awesome, look forward to seeing more batreps
Then you should like the next BatRep! Three players FFA with nearly 5k points on the table
@@loveandwargames Nice i look forward to it. I see what you mean though, strategic reserves is abit ridiculous at the minute
Great video, merci
Great game guys!
Huge Game awesome to see. Very jealous!
You can start your own gaming community to play this at home 😀
@@loveandwargames I'm working on it ;)
Well there's a size of game we can all aspire to! Apologies if I missed it, but was that still a 6x4 table? And if so, was it starting to feel crowded at all/would a 8x4 work better?
Either way, good game, and looking forward to the next battle report!
Do you think that a reserves limit/cap makes sense or just the crippled shooting?
Nice one :)
Cool de voir une si grande bataille avec autant de navires et factions differentes. Ca a pris combien de temps au total?
Merci ! On a passé une dizaine d'heures en tout environ, mais en comptant les discussions entre alliés, les vérifications de règles, les bières, les cafés, le repas... au final ça a dû représenter 4 heures de jeu maximum 🙂

What are those gun turrets on the 2nd (& 3rd also maybe?) Borodios? The twin-gun ones.
These are old 2nd-edition turrets :-)
Zongo is an old-timer
What could be an accurate size to play at 8k game like this? I think that this is not enought
im incredibly sad there wasnt a crown rotor force just blaring fortnate sun as a battlefleet
great game tho, your videos are always good entertainment
Thank you! If you want to see a massive Crown Rotor Force, just wait until the next (already recorded) Battle Report. Task Force Mordred will not let these invader sail around in impunity 😄
Déjà vu play on tabletop faire une game a 20000 points. 8000 c’est moins, mais ça reste impressionnant a voir
Great :)
