I really wish all wargamer's RUclips videos could do what you do - you managed cram all action, player reactions, the actual history AND some explanations of the rules - in only a few minutes. Much, much, much better than an unedited two or three hour video like some that are out there
@@madhog81nothing annoys me more when watching a battle report is to see the players moving every unit. It takes up so much time and is needless. The best channels know when to cut footage and to give a quick recap of the movement phases and then jump right back into the action.
Ah!!! Ulm, the battle where Napoleon's Corps System showed it's worth......OMG my jaw literally dropped when u people said that u are gonna play "Austerlitz"... Great minis, terrain & editing as always.
Excellent vid. Beautifully illustrated and well thought out. I can't watch a vid where the guy just drones on aimlessly about his game. Thanks for the snappy format but feel free to make it a little longer with more tactical detail. Grand tactical formations adopted and their suitability for the objective. Enjoyed it guys. Happy gaming.
All of these so far are very good. I'm kinda not surprised in a way. It's built into the nature of the hobby. Details, and lots of work ending in years of fun.
Aggressive but out numbered and (in this re-fight not so poorly commanded) Austrians out fight the French! Genius. More of this please. A good advert for Lasalle, not seen these rules played out before, I have a copy but have never got round to trying them out as I tend to play larger scaled games e.g. Blucher, Bloody Big Battles, Volley and Bayonet etc. Love the furry table BTW.
We also tend to go bigger battle most of the time, but for smaller actions Lasalle is a slick little game. It has a neat mechanic where there is no standard turn sequence--the players take whatever actions they want until they get interrupted. It makes for an unpredictable flow.
Wicked! Finally got to watch some of the new Lasalle rules in action. Our club will be using them in September, and I am looking forward to it. Thanks for this!
I would like to make a suggestion. Could you guys put your book citations in the video description? That would give us a chance to find some good books on the subjects of these battles. Thanks!
not kidding when you say quick! cant say i've seen 2 new things often but seeing a new tabletop wargame and a faster batrep that i've ever seen is amazing
Strip Minifigs from the 70s! Just as in my collection! I am delighted! Honor and praise to the little lead men who've been fighting now for nearly 50 years!
As always a great episode. It was great to see a video featuring 15mm figures. That shag carpet you were playing on was interesting. To me, it didn't seem very well suited to 15mm play. But a lot of people like it. You guys are the best. Look forward to Aspern-Essling.
You beat me to it. I thought I'd better check that I wasn't repeating what hundreds had said before. Lay - jer (where the j is like the s in vision. I think it sometimes gets written as zh in attempts at phonetic spelling).
Great inspiration !! Although i have one question. In 3.38 the French General moves a unit and at the end of the move he changes the formation from column to line. Do i miss something ; The change formation must be a diferrent order . Its not inluded in the move order as far as i know
Correct, it is a separate order. At the end of each order you execute the opponent in Lasalle MIGHT have an opportunity to interrupt. In this case--the particular footage you're seeing here--Miles did not interrupt. Steve was able to execute a move order, followed by a formation change, without Miles intervening. But they are separate actions as you indicated.
I live near to battle fied of Austerlitz , cant wait to see your battle report , also i recomandet you to visit reneactment battle that hapend here ( visit one of vilages with great great diorama )
I'm all for shorter videos with narrative structure and editing. I am not the audience for a roll by roll 3 x 1.5 hour epic. But I did wonder if 10 minutes is a little too short; I feared that maybe the format was more about teaching lessons in storytelling and editing by forcing people to distil their material right down rather than being the ideal short video format itself. I'm happily proven wrong, this didn't suffer at all from the very tight format, and having it as the precursor to a larger engagement offers something for everybody, and gets you more material out of your modelling efforts. I reckon I'll be shooting some stuff to upload before the year is out.
We hope you give it a shot! We intend to keep doing our full length, 30+ minute main episodes, but mixing in some shorter ones like this would allow us to do more wargames on the channel.
@@matthiuskoenig3378 Actually, perhaps he did. Mongol armies often included subject Chinese infantry and stone throwing artillery as well as the Mongol cavalry.
Where are these figures from? Do you know a reliable place to order these types of 15mm figures? Is this book good for 6mm figures? What bases do you use(size of the bases)?
This is a mix of two different companies--Battle Honors (sold by Old Glory USA) and Minifigs (a very old range!). You could absolutely play Lasalle in 6mm scale. Our 15mm figures are based for Age of Eagles, which is 1" deep by 3/4" wide (or 1x1 for cavalry). Lasalle is pretty agnostic about basing, which is nice since we don't like rebasing!
This was really awesome! I’m working on my first quick strike video now. Question: where did you get the mat/rug/fur used for the grass? I have been looking for something exactly like that!
The scale on the map of Europe has Paris and Antwerp about 20 miles from each other. In reality they're 187 miles apart in a straight line. It seems like you have '5 miles' when you meant '50 miles'.
A great source for this battle is on the Obscure Battles blog. Sorry if this has already been mentioned. obscurebattles.blogspot.com/2013/12/elchingen-1805.html
This French Army were poised to invade England and spent time tuning formations and orders . They were unbeatable until wasted marching into Russia. Hope the rules portrayed the fast moving Elite troops they were and the Inept Old world Generals The Austrians had commanding

That is so true. The amount of needless filler in other videos is unreal.

The high ground at Elchingen was a formidable position, too. No molten lava, though.

Austerlitz on little wars tv?!? Well this was the moment i was eagerly waiting for
Oh yes. It's an epic one for the ages. Coming up in July!
@@LittleWarsTV even more special to me then cause july is my birth month ✨
@@deepyamandas1192 same!!!
Same
Man, this was a nice little birthday present, thanks guys, can't wait for the Austerlitz video!
Happy birthday!
@@LittleWarsTV Thanks! Are you guys planning on doing any more Civil War war games soon? I really enjoyed the Gettysburg episode.
@@MrFarmer110 i hope they are! i also enjoyed the civil war ones
I hope there will be an Aspern-Essling episode some time, really interesting terrain and Napoleons first defeat in a battle. Greetings from Austria ;)
looking forward to the Austerlitz game.
Little Wars leads the way in AAR's. I was gripped from minute one and Napoleonics is usually not my thing.
Ah!!! Ulm, the battle where Napoleon's Corps System showed it's worth......OMG my jaw literally dropped when u people said that u are gonna play "Austerlitz"... Great minis, terrain & editing as always.
This was a great little video! Super stoked for Austerlitz. At the start I was like you can't tease me with Ulm and not do Austerlitz, it's illegal. 😂
We would hate to break the laws of wargaming, and so naturally we must proceed to the big showdown at Austerlitz!
An Austerlitz battle coming up? I am so excited, I had to change my pants!
Really pulled out all the budget stops for the special effects on that title card!
Hahah look at us, learning to use green screen animations! It only took 3 years, but we're all fancy now.

Great after Action Report ! It gave me the taste to liberate my armies back from the boxes they are sleeping in from too many years !
Dust them off and get those armies into the field!
Beautiful table, room and armies...A great Nap AAR with nice explanations/maps!
Wicked! Finally got to watch some of the new Lasalle rules in action. Our club will be using them in September, and I am looking forward to it. Thanks for this!
Would love to see more grand scale battle reports like these from you guys, particular Napoleonic and ACW.
That's good, because we have very grand one coming up in a few weeks!
Super excited! You guys are truly a force of change. Amazing work!

I love that you get a small history lesson to go with the battle report 🙏😊
What timing! I was researching these rules just last night.
An excellent game...much different from version 1. The new edition feels like a different game, in a good way.
Excellent clip describing the history and the tabletop - perfect example of a miniatures battle.
Great looking game, love LaSalle 2!
Brilliant stuff chaps, love it!
Another great vid, really works well, concise, sharp and interesting 😊
Great AAR and great choice of rules.
My favourite vids are the napoleonic ones there is so much detail on the figures so thanks very much

Top notch. Thanks for all you guys do for promoting our hobby. That being said.........pink trees?
Pretty fashionable, eh?
@@LittleWarsTV You should do a terrain tutorial on how to build sections of yellow brick road.
I am so glad y’all are still going!!!
Excellent work. Beautiful figures. I wish my toy soldiers looked that good ❤
Any chance you have a Lasalle 2 rules review in the queue?
Seconded! After Fireball Forward, Crossfire, Hail of Fire and Fistful of Lead!
Interesting and entertaining video. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, that was riveting. Really enjoyed the AAR.
Just got into the hobby! Beginning my first Black Powder game tomorrow! Thanks for making this video for interesting me.
Welcome to historical wargaming! You'll have a great time with Black Powder. Lots of fun.
This stuff is FIRE!
I want a netflix series about it.
Give them a call and let them know this club of history nerds is available!
Really happy you decided to do the Austerlitz game cant wait
Oh my god these man have not grown up😂😂...love the format ❤
No, we most certainly have not!
short and concise. excellent!
I wonder if you guys would end up doing a War of the Spanish Succession battle at some point. There isn't a lot of that on RUclips.
We must admit this is not a period we have minis for in the club...yet!
Huzzah for the Austrians!
Pedant alert! The "g" is soft in "Legere because it is followed by an "e".
You beat me to it. I thought I'd better check that I wasn't repeating what hundreds had said before. Lay - jer (where the j is like the s in vision. I think it sometimes gets written as zh in attempts at phonetic spelling).
I have been there to tour this battlefield. Very cool. Saw Blenheim on the same day.
Oh wow, that would be awesome. Would love to see both of those battlefields!

Great respect for anyone who can paint 15mm
Sounded like Dune music in the back there with the French bayonet charge
Haha yea I was wondering if anyone else had noticed that
I live in Ulm love your channel
Nicely done AAR
stoked for the austerlitz game.
Will there be a review of the rules?
Can you guys do a rules review of the new Laselle?
Ney often said “fuck it” and run head first into the enemy long side his men
Really good, like the video length. How big is the table?
This is a 6'x4' table space.
Really enjoyed that. Well done.
Superb gents thank you
Sure makes me want to continue with my 15mm Napoleonic troops. Nicely done :D
Great historical tabletop game !
What is Little Wars TVs opinion of the Lasalle rules?
Great video. Many thanks!

Lol the music was kinda weird. Could hear the theme music of David Lynch's "Dune".
Love the AAR
When is the pyrrhic campaign going to be uploaded to RUclips
Not until we are done playing it! Currently in Turn 3 of 5.
I really hope that you post your Carthaginian War Campaign videos.
The Pyrrhic War absolutely will be on RUclips once we're done the campaign, yes!
excellent and fun to watch
Loveling buildings!!! I am looking for such. Can you tell were did you get them from?
This was excellent.....
IA THERE ANY SMALL BATTLE OR SKIRMISH RULES FOR NAPOLEON WARS ?
This was amazing, love this stuff
Whenever I think of Ulm, I think of a city conquering the world.
What would it take for y'all to do chickamauga
When is the Austerlitz video coming out?
Coming in July, just a few weeks from now!
Blitzkrieging before it was German or popular, Napoleon was.
Although Ghengas Khan probably exemplified a blitzkrieg modern warfare style much earlier
@@Miniatures_Hall Ghengas khan didn't use combined arms warfare though, so hardly a biltzkrieg modern warfare style, unlike Napoleon.
@@matthiuskoenig3378 that’s true
@@matthiuskoenig3378 Actually, perhaps he did. Mongol armies often included subject Chinese infantry and stone throwing artillery as well as the Mongol cavalry.
Well played Miles. I did some figs that looked much larger than the 15's - were those the minifigs?
Minifigs and Battle Honors mostly!
Where do you guys play? The guns on the wall, etc is it a museum?
It's a private club space that we renovated and decorated as a group. So all the artwork, guns, etc are from various guys who game at the club.
On ur civil war miniatures what kind of paper do u use to put the brigadier generals name on ?
Our labels are just standard printer paper! Nothing fancy. Also, if you use nicer, thicker paper it's just harder to fold them.
@@LittleWarsTV thanks for answer 👌
A surprise to be sure but a welcome one
Ok ok, watching this was awesome, hearing Austerlitz is coming made me shriek like a teenage girl at a boy band concert. Ashamed yes, excited YES!

I wonder if you guys could do a bored game of the franco-Prussian war
Pink trees bloom in the spring, not the fall.
Unlimber that artillery we need to win a napoleonic battle
Very nice!
