The first video in the Invasion of France series.
Our first TANK WAR Battle
Comments welcome and subscribe for more Bolt Action battle reports :)
Good battle, shame on the unlucky dice rolls. Was enjoyable to watch and the showmanship between both players was fair and honest. Looking forward to watching more videos.
+Jake Dyson We look forward to having you with us :)
Excellent vid. Subscribed to watch more battle reports
thank you for sharing .what a great den. congratulations.
+roo pee Thanks you, Sir :) Hope you'll be with us for a long time! Remember to join our Tabletopbattle FB group for early releases of all videos!
I was rooting for the French all the way but it was a good game to watch. Defiantly think the german armored car should have swung around and flanked more, but hindsight is 20/20. Great battle report when with dismal shooting :)
Thank you for commenting Sir, we appreciate it :)
There is no way of telling what went on in my head there... Heat of the moment ;)
Awesome videos guys....I enjoy watching all of them.
Sven, you get a -1 for not painting your own figures!
and, a -1 for being too particular/anal about the EXACT angle you place your tanks. (its just a friendly game)...
However, you get a +2 for the shear size of your collection, and love of the game.
So, you still get a 100%....LOL
Again, nice battles, and I look forward to all of your new battles to come.
Hehe, appreciate it ;)
Thanks for commenting :)
you guys are great-I don't have many to play so watching you guys is like being there thanks
+Vietvet68 Well thank you very much, Sir :)
I don't know why I have not discovered your channel before, but there it is! As this is my first viewing of your material, I have found it, interesting, entertaining and very informative, not only regarding historical insight of the period, but of the actual Bolt Action rules. So, please give yourself a large pat on the back for your much appreciated hard work in sharing part of your gaming life and hobby. It may not be to everyone's taste, but I particularly like the methodical approach you use, it ticks all my boxes of interest! As I mentioned in opening, having not seen your footage before, I have now rectified this by subscribing to your channel. I look forward to many more hours of 'catching up' viewing with keen interest. Thank you again and Well Done! I will not be giving you a '-1' for not painting your own miniatures, but a BIG +1, as I realise how time consuming it is to put out content like this and if you have the finances which enable you to enjoy the playing part of our hobby, then power to you' I say! TTFN, an new avid follower 😉

These are fantastic. Keep them coming! Great work!
We are very happy that you like them :) Be sure to spread the word :)
You'll find this funny Svein (I'm so sorry if I spelled that wrong)
This reminds me exactly of the first tank war game my buddy and I played. 1500 pts German vs. American. Nothing in the game died until turn 4 ( and tank wise he had 3 Sherman 75mm and 1 Sherman 76, and I had a Panzer IV H, a Tiger and a StuG III with loads of support infantry on both sides) when my Grenadiers got ticked off, leapt out of their transport and killed a Sherman at point blank range with panzerfausts.
Literally, my Tiger fired 6 shots at the same Sherman (the 76, which also kept firing back). Missed the first 4 times, hit the 5th and rolled a 1 to penetrate, then finally killed it on the 6th turn. Funny games like this where very little dies and the armies seem to just angrily stare at each other can be hilarious.
Another great video guys!!
Great battle report!
finished it!
Good stuff
thanks for the hard work
MORE MORE MORE
Your prayers will be answered Steve :)
I have started editing the second video (and that is even better)
so expect that up on the weekend, and video nr 3 is already filmed..
great vid guys some seriously unlucky dice rolling he he. :)
Haha... Bra Engelsk! xD
Im glad to see you shop at kiwi where I work. Also, great game!
Well :) we shop where the good stuff is :)
Hvor holder du til Pål?
Damon Andersen holder til i Kragerø :)
Keep it up :-)
Sorry but I really enjoy t when Anders gets unbelievable dice rolls that discomfit Svein.
This is optimal :)
Another gripping Bolt Action battle, thanks guys! Have you considered uploading a version which is broken up into shorter parts, as well as the full length one? I can never watch the whole thing in one sitting, with young kids and all.
Well, that is absolutely an option I'll look into. However, With a full time job and kid on the side there isn't really much time leftover to do all the editing and converting so I end up doing the Whole video in one go, and then it converts during the night.
I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, but your tracks on the Char B are on backwards. The large bogie wheel goes in the back.
Mel Corrie You are the first! It is a damned shame i dont build and Paint models myself!
The 75mm howitzer was considered to be a light howitzer during ww2. And i believe the French book also classes it as a light.
The medium howitzer would be the 105mm.
Sorry for neckbearding :/
Holy s..., you are right! How could i have missed that??
Thanks for spotting that :)
I wonder if sometimes is better to move a tank to go around the other, and get a -1 to hit but get + X to penetrate. Whats the difference between the front and rear/side armor? Would it be worth it?
Sidearmor gives you an additional +1 on the penetration, and rear +2.
Definitely worth it if you have hopes of destroying the tank (unless it has the armored all around rule).
However, doing this puts you in a position to be hit in the side/rear yourself...
The most important aspect of Bolt Action is the pinning mechanism so I would
try to shoot from were i was since if you hit you'll at least put a pin on it, even if you
dont destroy it..
I can't help myself I have to be a neckbeard ._.
Those Panzer IIIs are the wrong models for the France campaign during which the germans only had Panzer III A through F which all come with either the rubbish 37mm tank gun or the short 50mm.
The models are Panzer III J/Ls with the long 50 mm L60 anti tank gun and they came into service around 1942 to counter the T34.
right.... sorry about that... I'm ashamed, I promise xD
You are absolutely right, these are PzIII J for use at Kursk.
Since we are filming from 1939 to 1945 (and almost all theatres) it would be to expensive to have all the models for all the years, especially for Germany...
So from time to time you will see the wrong model, but this is not because of our lack of knowledge, rather lack of funds;)
But I am very happy that there are knowledgeable people like you that comment on our videos, makes us all both better players and we learn more :)
Nice gameplay. Some commands made by the French player are questionable, i.e. Why don't you advance your veteran squad into the building in your 2nd attempt to shoot the spotter? Why did you move your smaller tank to take on the larger and stronger german tank when there is a Panzer III where you can shoot at his back?
Nice laser-cut models. They can give the smell of burnt wood which adds more realism into gameplay :D
Have been wondering is it possible to incorporate this game style into W40K though....
I count myself as an average gamer so i do make mistakes, from time to time ;)
I honestly can not say why i did those actions as they were filmed some months ago, sorry.
Maybe it was just what my mind came up with at the time.
I think the dice out of the bag would lend itself very well to any tactical wargame as it removes a lot
of predictability.
I am thinking of implementing the decision die on W40K to determine the order of turns within a game turn. Would it be possible for you guys to test this idea on W40K and maybe post the battle report?
Start with both army not deployed on the battlefield but do the deployment setup as per normal, i.e. hammer+anvil or any of the others. Then draw dice to see order of turn.
Are the panzers in this game from Warlord, Blitzkrieg, or another company?
+drblasphemy Warlord
Hi guys. What was the laser thing you were using for line of sight. I enjoy your battle reports. Great to see other parties beyond the big four.
I bought mine off Ebay, from Germany no less :)
Damon tipped me off about it, and he said he would leave a comment about it.
Will probably make it easier to find on Ebay :)
Tabletopbattle
Any idea on the name. The eBay listing wouldn't come. But thanks guys, keep up the great work!
Maybe search for tabletop laser.. And i think i saw Warlord Games stocking them now..
Great Thanks.: ) that's awesome.
Where did you get the roads? They look great!!!!
Do a search for Fat Frank on Ebay and you'll find them :)
They are also not so expensive!
Tabletopbattle Thanks. How wide would you say the roads are?
They are about 4" from side to side, but I think he has other sizes too.
What kind of laser pointer is that?
I'm sure you've been asked this before, but please tell where you got the laser marker from. Thanks.
Simon Purdue I believe the old ones (orange) were from China (Ebay). Just search for tabletop laser. Currently we are using laser line from Army Painter
@@Tabletopbattle Excellent, thank you. I have one that just creates a red dot, but I like the line on the table.
do I have to prime spray my models before I paint them?
+Vietvet68 Not at all! Some people do, to make the paint stick better, and provide som undercoating, but i never did... (i seldom paint though)
can you tell me where you bought those roads or did you made them yourself?
Search for Fat Frank on Ebay :)
Excellent stuff!
How do you have more tanks than 1 in a reinforced platoon? Is this a home rule?
We are playing with the official Tank War rules, they allow you to field up to 5 tanks per platoon :D
Thanks I'll give it a try though not my strength --Painting that is-- my empire army looks like homeless bums on the street
lol "wehicle"
Concerning rules. I dont understand why you have 3 tanks. Is it not 1 per army?
Because we are using the tank war rules witch allows up to five tank pretty reinforced Platoon ☺
