Thank you and the daughters are getting me version 3 for my birthday so should have it when it comes out on the 26th and looking forward to planning another video mid October all being well 👍
Thank you it’s appreciated and just a shame life (or the wife to be precise 😂) always gets in the way of wargaming although she did help me with this one. Hopefully next one in October when I’ve got my hands on V3 later this month 👍
As always an amazing job, that makes for a good story telling also, good the wife joined in, Are you planning on adding on any other armies? and while we wait for V3 how about some army showcases ? it is thrilling to here why and how, when you present your units best from Kasper
Thank you Kasper and I do have some Perry’s US infantry, but I am working on some US Airborne that I hope to use in a Batrep video after V3 comes out 👍 My long term project is a new unit of British infantry depicting Scottish infantry using 8th Army figures and converting them into wearing kilts etc. Hope to have that done by the end of the year.
Absolutely amazing terrain , figures and vehicles , I wasn’t overly fond of bolt action but watching your games has resold it to me , I see you have done a step by step paint guide on painting German armour , I don’t suppose you could do the same for the Sherman paint scheme ?
Thank you Stephen and I do have CoC rules as it goes and did play a couple of solo encounters to get used to the rules, but was put off with the large amount of die rolling. I also used to play Rapid Fire the original version (when I had 20mm stuff back in the 90’s and have the new updated rules that again I’ve had a ‘dabble’ with in 28mm, but I just like the simplicity of BA and the order die system that was first used back in the 80’s by Bruce Taylor with his order ‘chits’ in a bowl modern rules 👍
Given how you upscale each section to represent a company, you might find the ‘Rapid Fire’ scenario books useful. In RF, each company is represented by 8 men, so in effect it would be really simple to convert to BA. I’ve used them for Blitzkrieg Commander but BA would be even easier.
I am an old Rapid Fire player as it goes and do have pretty much all of the battle group and scenario books and your right they really go well with Bolt Action and thats why I’ve always referred to units as companies and squadrons as old habits die hard 😂.
I tried to do a painting video some months ago and it was quite frankly ‘shit’ as I forgot to video a lot of the stages as I get engrossed in the process. The process I use is effectively how you’d paint and detail a 1/35 scale model. There are lots of excellent model painting channels on RUclips to go through. What I’ve done below is list the colours I’ve used and as for the Dunkelgelb highlights its a modulation process where you highlight up when you apply each colour. Before putting any enamel washes on make sure you’ve glossed varnished the model as mine get at least 2 gloss varnishes (once before enamel pin washing, then after the enamel pin wash and clean up before I apply more track washes and powders.) before they are finally Matt varnished. Hope it makes sense.

@@dazvanderyoung1911 Daz, saw the previous response, very helpful, cheers. I get where you are coming from about the 'logistics' that go into making a film on how you you paint. However, I do think I speak for not only myself when I say I'd love to see an 'army showcase' type of film from you. Your minis and vehicles are stunning and while I know you use Crusader and Warlord etc, seeing these and the detail in them that your painting brings out, would be a joy to watch. Also, be good to understand where/how you kitbash (if at all - but the German Light Mortar team in the Battle Report, well I wasn't sure if that was a Warlord hybrid of from somewhere else). Anyway, the quality is there, so if you feel inclined, please show it off, but don't feel compelled as I'll understand if it is something that is not for you - I'll still be a subscriber!! Cheers once again, and thanks for putting your stuff out there for us to enjoy. All the best mate
Thanks again Chris and the German light mortar are Warlord Afrika Korps plastics just painted up as wearing pea dot etc. My daughter has been saying I should do a painting video and I am building a Jagdpanther and looking to get a proper video camera that I can put on a tripod and will try again later this year as the Jagdpanther should be a good one to paint and I’ve also just got some new Mig Ammo paints that go on like Tamiya so I’m going to give them a go 👍
I'm new to wargaming, what are benefits of basing tanks or is it just for uniform aesthetics with infantry? Also your grass of the entire table looks fantastic, is it some flock or what? I think it elevates the whole board.
I base all my vehicles partly because it protects them in transit and storage. I mark the centre base edge of each one. The massive benefit is that it stops all the nonsense about measuring range and line of sight from gun barrels, front sprockets or commander’s hatches. Saves a lot of argument in a club game.
Pretty much everything that @samb2052 is spot on and personally it does keep everything uniformed with the figures etc. However my tanks are actually held on the base with magnets so they can be removed etc. if your on the Bolt Action facebook groups (Bolt Action, Bolt action terrain makers and painting bolt action) search for me on them as ‘Daz Van Der Young’ and it will bring up my posts where I show how i do it etc. As for the board I use fleece battle mats from ‘Geek Villain’ in the UK. They cost around £60 for a 6’x4’ and do look better than painted MDF or chipboard 👍
Thank you and I just take an overhead photo of the table (bit of a reach and balancing act on some ladders 😂) and then using a free photo app called Graphite just convert the image to colour pencil, tweak the effect a bit and then print it off in black and white 👍
@@dazvanderyoung1911 thanks very much Daz. That’s a great tip about Graphite, just been playing with it, lots of scope for it to support gaming. It’ll make home grown scenarios look a lot better.

Your table looks so great and amazing - love the buildings!
The pink slippers really add to the immersion 😜
I've told the wife no more pink slippers 'on set' in future hahaha
@@dazvanderyoung1911 It's great that she plays with you, can't wait for next one.
Another great report with beautiful terrain and miniatures. Great to see you back. Be interesting to see what you make of V3.
Thank you and the daughters are getting me version 3 for my birthday so should have it when it comes out on the 26th and looking forward to planning another video mid October all being well 👍
as a French, the map is GREAT.
The Suze logo on the wall the tiny details, it's great.
subscribded.
Merci beaucoup its greatly appreciated 👍 Going to Normandy again this weekend for another sightseeing trip and inspiration in the amazing museums.
Beautiful terrain and figures.
Thank you its appreciated 👍
Love your table. Elaborate tables add so much to a game, the immersion aspect.
Loved this report, top notch as always 👍
Cheers Robert it’s appreciated and looking forward to getting V3 later this month to plan the next one 👍
Another great battle report!
Cheers its appreciated 👍
Hope to see another one soon, great video and really enjoyed it my friend.
Thank you, hopefully getting V3 for my birthday when it comes out and then plan the next one 👍
Great video. Your one Panther has about as much luck as mine when I play it in a game.
Tout est magnifique : scénario + décors + figurines. Félicitations !
Thank you very much Alain for the kind words, its very much appreciated.
Fantastic stuff as always Daz!
Cheers Phil its appreciated 👍
Fantastic video as usual!
Cheers and hopefully not long to wait until I get the new rules on the 26th.
This is amazing 🤩
Thank you glad you liked it 👍
Yes your back! So happy!!!!
Thank you it’s appreciated and just a shame life (or the wife to be precise 😂) always gets in the way of wargaming although she did help me with this one. Hopefully next one in October when I’ve got my hands on V3 later this month 👍
Thanks for explaining how you made all of the terrain pieces and where your models were from. Another great battle report!

Are you ready for version 3?
Keep up the good work !!
Thank you and I've got my V3 rulebook pre order in so hopefully should have it on the 26th and can start planning.

I think actually, the quality of your set up deserves Chain of Command interpretation

Could you pleeeeeeaaase do a panther painting vid in that scheme pleeeeeeeeeease
I agree - it is stunning (all your models are to be honest)

Hope it makes sense.
