Seeing a new BatRep is good medicine to help cheer me up after the past 12 days I have been dealing with(not counting the high note that the Kickstarter ended on). I appreciate you guys. Arkham Bridge is one of the best songs to start a tense BatRep on. That and Shutdown Override from your latest album. Very good, very good.
It would have made my day to see Urbies on the defender's side. They are my favourite trashcans. I can only imagine the mechwarriors complaining about having to pilot Urbies to defend. Penalty to morale.
Excellent video as usual, gentlemen!!!! These BatReps are absolutely amazing in the new studio! The production quality is top notch, Confederation worthy!!!!!!!
Thanks for the video mates. I think you were a little bit hesitant Aaron but you had so many distractive targets. Well played both sides. Love how Thom has Raven on the brain for the Locust. lol
Honestly the sheer quality of the battle reports blows my mind. The professional level graphics are fantastic and I think you guys have out done yourselves on terrain. Quick question are you playing on 4ftx4ft?
Beautiful table. I would have given Thom the no LOS to the VTOL on top of the building since it was his intention to have it hugging the top...which would also mean he can't fire on anything. Great game!
It isn't a proper DFAW battle report for me until Aaron says "I lost initiative again!" lol Excellent content as always you guys! Edit: and holy moly that terrain is looking soo good!
Such an awesome set up for both the board and the objectives for this battle! I love the idea of using older, antiquated equipment as a garrison force that doesn't really see frontline action much against a high mobility raiding force of light mechs and VTOLs. Also, happy Father's Day to you guys! Hope you got to enjoy time with your families.
What an amazing table. Love the new river, so much better than the old one. The mission was really interesting with all the light mechs and vehicles. The only question is, how many turns did it take you to realize you had moved the triangular building into the river and not put it back?... 😂😂😂
At the end of that D&D movie, do they pan out to reveal Columbo with his grandson Fred Savage playing dungeons and dragons, ala 'The Princess Bride'???
So 1st of all, that River is dope, Where did you get it? 2nd, this was a really good BatRep. Not sure if it was the map, misson type, or units on each side (maybe a combo of all factors) but this one was really enjoyable
Oh shucks.. @31:40 you needed nines but rolled a '1' on your big die so it was impossible for you to get even a single hit no matter how high you rolled on the small dice. Almost makes a guy wanna go back to rolling two dice for each shot ;)
Haha but you gotta realize how unfair that it against low armor high TMM units… if you run the numbers it makes it so easy to shred the little guys (which already struggle)
@@DeathfromAboveWargaming Oh, just a reminder... you promised a tour through all your mechs long, long ago :D Still waiting! ALSO, you should livestream your selections from the pledge manager. Man, I can't wait, I went pretty big and got regimental and some extra packs.
I heard your comparison to Ukraine and Russia with their T-72's and it made me wonder, "Are your forces buying all their diesel from Tom like Zelensky is from Putin??" XD
@@DeathfromAboveWargaming hahaha, good quip! This is the first time I've watched a whole Alpha Strike video (because I only like Classic), and it was alright. Regardless, you guys always put on a quality show!
I think this is the best looking table you’ve done. That’s a high bar. Well done. That was a great game
Thanks!
"Calm down and focus on covering the SRM Carriers."
The SRM Carriers: *frothing at the mouth, screaming in bloodlust and blind fury.*
That is EXACTLY how I imagine SRM crews would be. Like LRM guys are super chill feet up and SRM guys are like sleeves torn chugging energy drinks
LMFAO this is perfect
@@thomberg3457 so srm carrier crews are where the houses find new prospects for hunchback mechwarriors?
thanks guys, awesome play!!😁😉👏🙌👍🤙🤟✌

Hope this turns around the next 12 days for you brother!

Vehicles! Lots of them! This pleases meeee!
Love the mission premise. So thematic and edge of your seat.
And I can't love that table enough. Especially that river, it's gorgeous!
The real question is whether Jason Statham is alive.
@@DeathfromAboveWargaming Ohh, I see a Crank sequel in the works!
Will buy the popcorn, soda and movie ticket - but not your plane ticket.
@@DeathfromAboveWargaming 😅
Saved this for my Friday night party with my wargroup. Pizza, rum, and bets on results. Freaking great night! That's for the entertainment guys! ;)
That's an awesome battle!
Excellent video as usual, gentlemen!!!! These BatReps are absolutely amazing in the new studio! The production quality is top notch, Confederation worthy!!!!!!!
What an amazing looking board.
What an amazing scenario.
What an amazing game
This is why you guys are a top-tier channel!!!!
Aw shucks. Haha thank you for the kind words!
The bad guy from "Demolition Man" you were trying to reference Tom is Simon Phoenix.
Smells like biscuits and gravy
Great game. I would like to see more hobby videos on how you paint your buildings.
When Thom wins, we all win.
Wesley Snipes played Simon Phoenix
He was in jail for like 10 years or something. It might actually be that Wesley snipes is being played by Simon phoenix.
LOL
Thanks for the video mates. I think you were a little bit hesitant Aaron but you had so many distractive targets. Well played both sides. Love how Thom has Raven on the brain for the Locust. lol

@@DeathfromAboveWargaming lol
Holy shit balls - that table is AMAZING
Haha thanks!
This time, it's personal.
Amazing terrain setup! 🐺👍
Ty kind sir!!
I know it’s a lot more work but I miss the Aaron shaky cam
Haha maybe it’ll make a come back
Still love you guys. Your battle reports are still amazing.
Back at you
Honestly the sheer quality of the battle reports blows my mind. The professional level graphics are fantastic and I think you guys have out done yourselves on terrain.
Quick question are you playing on 4ftx4ft?
Thanks! I appreciate that!! And yes, 4x4 mats.
That table is next level, what an amazing batrep!! ❤️
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful table. I would have given Thom the no LOS to the VTOL on top of the building since it was his intention to have it hugging the top...which would also mean he can't fire on anything. Great game!

Excellent content as always you guys! Edit: and holy moly that terrain is looking soo good!
Thanks! And losing initiative is my specialty… 😫
@Death From Above Wargaming I feel your pain man! 😭
Awesome map, unique mission! This is a really great series so far
That turn 5 was just brutal for the Taurians.
Such an awesome set up for both the board and the objectives for this battle! I love the idea of using older, antiquated equipment as a garrison force that doesn't really see frontline action much against a high mobility raiding force of light mechs and VTOLs.
Also, happy Father's Day to you guys! Hope you got to enjoy time with your families.
Thanks Brian! Hope you had a nice Father’s Day as well!!
That he'll spawn is beautiful. I dislike how squishy it is though. You really put so much effort into your maps. I'm not jealous at all....
that new terrain though....
amazing set up!!😳😳😳
😃😃👍🤙✌✌
Inspiring table.
What an amazing table. Love the new river, so much better than the old one.
The mission was really interesting with all the light mechs and vehicles.
The only question is, how many turns did it take you to realize you had moved the triangular building into the river and not put it back?... 😂😂😂
Haha that was hilarious.
I also was so excited by the rivers - huge terrain upgrade!
Hahah I was hoping no one would notice 🤪
Where did you guys get the roads and bridges? Been looking for a good option for ages.
gcmini.com!
Wow what a table
At the end of that D&D movie, do they pan out to reveal Columbo with his grandson Fred Savage playing dungeons and dragons, ala 'The Princess Bride'???

I looked through your links but didn't see. Where did you get those road tiles? I would like to buy some.
nevermind, I see in the comments.
Simon Phoenix! I WIN! I WIN!!!!
Its uncanny how often you fail initiative, try using the initiative deck (without the special rules)
Nothing can save me from this curse.
I have done all the things.
The people thanketh you.
Nothing is as disappointing as seeing Thom and he is not fully decked out in Malthus everything
Cool battle so far tho.

@@DeathfromAboveWargaming cool, sounds fun :D

LOL no one knows where Thom is getting his diesel these days…. So possible
