Olaf has new Fallschirmjager army as his defence of Italy/Sicily German veteran army vs My 1000 point US Armoured Infantry Platoon, all regulars.
This scenario, envelopment is scenarion seven from the main rules book and tests the US Armies ability to take the field and get across the battlefield to secure the island and end the German occupation.
This is a fast paced all guns blazing battle to capture the island of Sicily, securing the route for the Allies to break the soft underbelly and prepare for the next leg of the campaign into the Tough gut of Italy.
See the battle unfold as the German veteran Fallschirmjager force defend whilst the US race to take the field, remove the defending German army and attempt to push deeper in to Italy, securing the allied invasion and march into Italy.
Set in the rural area of Sicily, Italy, with Warlord Games figures, Bolt Action rules and a Geek Villain mat we are all set for a thrilling and desperate race to the secure points and the win.
This week’s battle report sees olaf return to the Ministry of Miniatures to play his new German army.

Thank you to our Patreons:
Field Marshal Grey Wolf. 👍🏻
And our honorary patreon: Bear… good luck and give us a thumbs up 👍🏻
Great video as always lads. I love the fact that you always explain what rolls are needed for everything. Helps people learn the game
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it, we did!
Thanks again 👍🏻
Great work on the battle board. Cool game!
Thank you, was an enjoyable game and fun to play, glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻
Another amazing video - you guys are great.
Thanks - glad you liked it 👍🏻
Thanks for the great battle report! 👊🏼 One rule clarification: only two guys can shoot out of the same window.
Thanks, yes, each opening door/window can have two men shoot… so if you have an LMG use that with the loader behind him… then you can get another rifle to shoot out of the window too, or as Olaf did, 2xLMG’s - 10 shots!
Glad you enjoyed the game and thanks for the comment 👍🏻
(He had twin LMG’s)
@@theministryofminiatures
I did not notice those LMG's. Had to listen so quietly also 😅 But I really like the terrain! 🤗
@DirtyLinssi no problem, we don’t always get everything right as it’s easy to miss things when recording the videos… and being immersed in the game!
Glad you enjoyed it, we did too!
Thanks again for the comment. 👍🏻
Loving the channel keep up the good work
Thank you, we really enjoy sharing our battles, figures and scenery- between us all we have a fair collection.
Thanks again for the kind comment… look forward to meeting up for a game 👍🏻🤞🏻
Just got a Flak 43 Zwilling 37mm heavy auto cannon for my Germans 4 heavy aurto cannon shots is just bad for anything below a medium tank. I would of had to try my twin German medium mortars of a SD Kfz 250/7 carrier with the medium mortar team with the 2nd Lt. between them so I could snap too and so launch both on the same turn. Looked like a fun game.
Great idea, the Germans have some great fire power, and with the snap to I can see it be devastating… don’t tell Rick!
Can I ask where you got the buildings for this Battle Report? Cheers
Hi yes no problem, they were from 4Ground before they stopped selling scenery. They sometimes come up on ebay, but not often.
Not sure if there is an alternative way to get them as 4Ground still trade but as part of Factorium.
Thanks
Hi great game just wondering do your varnish your armies figures?
No, I did think about it but most of my figures are plastic so probably don’t need the varnish… having metal chipping is a different story, and one I keep thinking about.
So far I haven’t, but am considering.. do you varnish your figures?
@@theministryofminiatures hi no just getting started and watched a few painting videos and i liked the look of your models so asked :-)
@muckmirrors2512 no problem, some people do, some don’t… I think mainly metal need them to prevent chipping.
Good luck with your painting 👍🏻
@@theministryofminiatures thanks for the replys, look forward to your next video☺
Thank you for watching and comments 👍🏻
I've looked at a bunch of your battle reports and noticed you don't use any hills. All the battle reports seem to be on flat boards. Closest was the winter Foy battle that had clutches of trees on low rises. Boltactionaction has some very dynamic terrain in his reports that are worth checking out.
Thanks, we do use hills!
We have the Geek villain mat and place hills underneath the mat so they are less noticeable… but they are definitely there.
Thanks
@@theministryofminiatures ah, I see. Tabletop CP has those same matts and I've noticed the hills don't stand out on camera. Interesting.
@@jusztinnemeti6380indeed, they are subtle I admit, but work relatively well for tabletop games.
The boltactionaction channel is great, but I would never have time to create those types of hills, not to mention my wife’s opinion on where I would store them 😅
@@theministryofminiatures I have mine stacked like pancakes on a shelf. They really ad a whole dynamic to our games. But I totally agree, space is always the issue and you have to be selective.
Nice! I struggle to store my stuff, so have to try not to have too many big items!
Unless you are house ruleing it you are playing hidden wrong hidden gives you a extra minus two cover and you cannot be ranged in on if you are house ruleing it please explain b4 game
Indeed, Olaf corrected me when I tried to range in on his pak 40 and so I lost the shot, later he had fired and lost the hidden so I could fire without penalty.
…maybe I could have won by more if I had played it correctly and allowed me to target his hidden troops 😊
Will add to my list of rules to note, thank for highlighting 👍🏻
Didn’t use house rules.
this video somehow turn to slightly pink n it's very unpleasant to view only this one WHY?
I have no idea 🤷🏻♂️- nobody else has had this issue…
now all of your video look pinkish? but when using 3rd party android app it ain't pinkish any less.🫣
@@Sacred_l0g1xdo you know what it might be? All my videos are recorded on an iphone, and then uploaded through youtube… fortunately it only seems to be you at the moment, but would be good to know what might have caused it!?
@@Sacred_l0g1xdid this resolve? Or is it still an issue?
@@theministryofminiatures yes it's hdr something on the device mostly
Don't take this the wrong way but the guy doing the filming sounds like an absolute nightmare to play against ! ! ! and not in a good way ! ! ! .
….why do you say that?
Please specify?
Being a nightmare to play against is one thing, but not in a good way can only be taken one way!?
Hopefully some clarity will help.
