Little Wars TV played a wargame of the battle of Trenton at the Hessian barracks on the original battlefield. I concur, truly brings the battle more to life per se.
This video is monumentally fan-boy material for a geek like me,...............thank you to all involved for putting this together for yourselves and sharing it with your audience! Truly appreciated - great result, too - and the terrain and miniatures ............incredible!
3:09 Christy Beall from WSS spotted. She had a painting series on the WSS RUclips channel that was great. Unfortunately the channel has been dead for 5 years but all of the videos are still there for viewing. That channel still has 15k subscribers. I don't understand why WSS wouldn't use that channel to upload videos to promote each magazine issue at least.
Christy's painting videos were top notch (and still are, years later!). We asked the WSS team why they stopped producing videos like that and, as you might expect, it takes a ton of time and energy to film and edit them to that standard. Just a question of resource allocation and management. Now all that time and energy goes into the magazine itself
Oh the possibilities of a multi-table Market Garden (all the bridges) or 'just' the Arnhem battle. Been thinking that would be good since your Malta game.
As a Dutchman I visited this museum many times. I can highly recommend it. Even so the museums in Groesbeek (near Nijmegen) and Eindhoven. I am sorry I didn’t know about this demonstration by TFL. Looks amazing!
Thanks for this, I grew up in Heelsum just down the road from Oosterbeek and used to visit the museum quite frequently. Really cool to see the amazing re-creations on the tabletop.
Well I asked for Arnhem in your campaign suggestions section and you gave it to me here. So thank you for this segment. This channel just gets more amazing every day and you guys are so much fun to watch. I am also opening up my mind to a lot of historical eras to potentially game in solely due to your outstanding efforts. So thank you and I'm going to stop praising you all before your egos explode!
Ahh, good to see the TooFatLardies. Been watching their videos on this and I’m enjoying just how well it’s come together with it. Hopefully not only will this bring a good remembrance to history, but also bring greater exposure to miniature wargaming - and especially historical wargaming and how it can be used to help us recreate and experience history
This battle has a special place in my heart as my parents lived for a while in a appartment overlooking Nijmegen and both the bridge and the place where the river crossing took place (they've now built another bridge on that spot). So if I visited I could literally see the whole battlefield. They've know moved across the river on a location that's basically in A Bridge Too Far.
Amazing work. I have a particular interest in British Airborne, and they are my 'go to' WW2 army when it comes to wargaming- but my prejudice aside this all looks remarkable :-)
I saw the painter from Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy RUclips channel about to roll dice. I was wondering where she went. Great painting channel if you haven't seen it. Hasn't posted anything in 5 years. Did she start a different channel?
In realy usefull boxes and we did get asked on the way back by two customs officials and they both smiled when we listed our whereabouts for the six days,,,,and let us in again ..phew
I love this channel and Too Fat Lardies -- please get a set of microphone lavaliers to help improve the audio quality. There is a set for $99 USD that plugs into a smart phone. You can text or email the audio files to your video editor. Improving the audio on your videos will help spread your reach.
wargame rules> do you not find its like looking for the "holy Grail" everyone is looking for better rules all the time, the ideal set > the perfect set>>> I suppose being a solo gamer I can alter rules to suit me >the rules I use for WW2 is a vastly expanded Charles Grant> Napoleonic's I have adapted the wonderful Fire and fury and for ACW period again Fire and fury>>> have not found the ideal post war wargame company rules, that I can use for Africa and Vietnam, not keen on FOW Vietnam though its a pretty book
The idea of playing a historical wargame while actually located WHERE THOSE HISTORICAL EVENTS TOOK PLACE is just too cool
I would love a trip like that!

@@Blitz9H They also did Hampton Roads on the deck of a 1:1 replica of the USS Monitor.
Love how LWTV supports other wargamers!
Wargamers unite!! Always love seeing other clubs and groups put on cool events like this. It deserves to be commended and shared!
Great way to shout out other creators, and simultaneously highlight the wargaming hobby as a collective. Excited to see more to come in the future!

C'mon, guys, this video is a bridge too far. . .
Heh. Someone had to make that joke.

Absolutely fabulous terrain work...well, done guys!
Indeed. So much detail packed in!

We miss your paintshows on youtube.

Weird takeaway, but I don't think I've ever gamed in a room with such distinctive wallpaper. :)
Hah right? Quite the hotel isn't it?
@@LittleWarsTV It certainly puts the ones around Lancaster PA to shame. :)
SUch a fantastic place to play and to show wargames!
love this project by the Lardies and your channel's support of it here!
Thank you for sharing this with us, Guy.
Omg 😳 this is so cool! I love operation market garden, I always loved watching a bridge to far ahhh this is so cool!
Amazing work. I have a particular interest in British Airborne, and they are my 'go to' WW2 army when it comes to wargaming- but my prejudice aside this all looks remarkable :-)
Great recap, been following this project for a while, wonderful to see it come to life on the tables
The subtitles had these guys down as the two fatalities! That's what happens after consuming too much lard!

Excellent video and interviews. Those tables are amazing!
Looks like an amazing museum. So envious of those ing tables.
Well done Guy for putting this together.
Hey, at 0:47 that's Christy from WS&S! I really liked her channel, I wonder why she stopped updating it? :(
Amazing. These buildings, playing on a historic location and the inclusion of non wargamers! Love it
the decor is amazing
Great video! We gamers tend to support one another whenever possible. The only competition is on the table. Keep on gaming!
Absolutely. We're all part of the same hobby and it's a great community.
unreal tables wow.
So cooool !!!! can't wait
@0:47 is that Wargames Soldiers and Strategy on RUclips? I swear, I watched all of her painting videos but she hasn’t posted in years!
They stopped uploading painting videos awhile go. A shame, because Christy's tutorials were awesome!
I am really curious how the heck they got all that stuff from England, cross the channel into the Netherlands without damaging any if it.
Or what the customs official officials would have said...
In realy usefull boxes and we did get asked on the way back by two customs officials and they both smiled when we listed our whereabouts for the six days,,,,and let us in again ..phew
You should make a video of each bridge...😁
Great video about a fatal Operation.
A shame that Montgomery blamed Gen. Sosabowski and his boys for the failure of the Operation.
It's a fascinating operation at the macro level. One we hope to explore here on this channel some day...
A great bloke is AL !!!!
Love mini battle games.

I wish I had known about this, Arnhem isn't that far from here.
Cool!
