Thank you and I just wish I didn’t get tongue tied now and again but I’m concentrating that hard on holding my iPhone steady and framing the shot I forget what I’m saying hahaha. Greatly appreciated thought.
Finally, a bolt action battle report i managed to watch all geh way through! Great terrain, great minatures and great narration. Brilliant for a newcomer like myself
Thank you and I do these videos for just such a purpose (although I do make mistakes, lots of them hahaha) hope they help and give you ideas for your own games and terrain.
Brilliant filming, you interact with the viewers so well! Your models are absolutely stunning!! and the rubble around the buildings is a great idea. Thanks for such a great video 👍👏
Thank you its appreciated and when I do these videos its to hopefully give others either ideas or inspiration to make the best models and tables they can and any little terrain ‘hack’ that works for others is great to hear.
Thank you so much for this. New to the game and the pace at which you walk through things for the rolling is perfect. Your tables of terrain are inspirational.
Wow thank you and glad the videos are of use as that was my intention when I started doing them, as watching others videos inspired and helped me likewise. Check out Table Top CP, great videos.
Thanks for an excellent BatRap! Beautiful table as always and and intriguing story. 12 order dice was a good twist 👍🏻 Great job and I’m looking forward to the next one!
Thank you very much and it’ll be a couple of months before the next one due to holiday/work and some buildings I want to get finished for the next video.
Thank you its good to hear and I used to watch Tabletop CP for the very same reason. My club is the Leeds Night Owls, but I’ve struggled to get to meetings recently due to shifts. They meet every Sunday and there are quite a few play BA, they have a Facebook page if your interested.
Daz...'Send More Brains', I mean more videos. I really like the way your terrain and models look, the way you give brief and professional turn by turn description of the battle, the fact you don't use stupid bright colored dice (but rather nice natural earth tones) on the battlefield that everybody else uses, LOL. Keep up the great work...Joe, Wash DC
Thank you Stefan and its brilliant to read that my videos are seen and enjoyed all over the world, its really great to hear and definitely inspires me to do more.
Once again, an incredible and very inspirational Battle report I love the fact that you try to be as historically accurate as possible And that you modify the rules to provide a more strategic and interesting contest But there are two things that stand out that are just wonderful to see, and I wish more people would take a note of 1. Not one mention of points. Put down what you think would be a fun game and go with it 2, and the most important, not one assault rifle to be seen It gets tiring seeing so many bolt action battle reports with the Germans where Everyone is armed to the teeth with assault rifles. This has to be the best bolt action battle report channel on RUclips. Keep up the good work and more please
Bloody hell thank you very much SGlusky and I’m not one for points and much prefer historical accuracy in games. I understand people like to play tournament games and army lists but I like to see scenarios something close to history. I do find the rules fun and flexible and use old school order of battle lists popular with Rapid Fire rules that I used to play over 20 years ago. I know exactly what you mean about unit armament or special units and its fair to say I won’t be doing a Pegasus Bridge game with Gurkha Paras anytime soon 😂
@@dazvanderyoung1911 well said my friend… well said Hell, in many of our Mustangs & Messershmitts games we dont even know who “wins” we just play till we get tired😉
I am very envious of your setup. I'm just getting stuck in to Bolt Action (still in the building and painting stage) and I will strive to achieve a similar collection to yours. Absolutely love your terrain. Clearly a labor of love. Cheers, Paul
Thank you Paul its appreciated and building, painting, modelling are probably more enjoyable than the gaming, but thats the beauty of the hobby, hope your enjoying the modelling.
Thank you Erwin History and I just use my iPhone on either a small tripod, little hand stick or just hand held. I shoot in little clips as I go and put them altogether in iMovie on my iPad. I play in my garage and its lit by fluorescent lighting strips and I also use white sheets pinned up on the walls to help bounce light back onto the table, but sometimes it can affect the colours as I struggle to keep white balance somewhere near acceptable etc.
Love your battle reports just watched all of them. I am hooked,well done. Your roads and forest what are they made from? If you would share your secrets. Terrain build how to videos? Thank you for all you do.
Thank you Terry and glad you like them. If your on Facebook go on the Bolt Action Terrain makers and search for me on there where, I’ve done how to photo guides on my roads that are made out of cut up industrial carpet tiles and painted. On some of my other videos I did a little intro section about how I made my stuff as well. Not done any specific videos on terrain as I’m a shed and forget to record stages, so gave up and just took photos and posted on Facebook etc.
@dazvanderyoung1911 thank you so much. You have inspired me to play. Taking your ideas and building in 15mm. Have a bunch. Thank you again, and I'm looking forward to more games.
Nice everything. Well done. Idea.. Do mag Road Tankbases to match the road maybe? Keeps the height of the tanks UP vs figures on bases on the Road otherwise they could look small?
Hello @Daz VanderYoung I have a question, you probably mentioned this already but I can't recall, what are the dimensions of your gaming table? By the way you are one of the best Bolt Action RUclipsrs! -Videos are Well edited with excellent camera angles and High def. detail -Miniatures are exquisite, I especially like that your vehicles are magnetized to those themed bases -but, it's your attention to realistic and authentic terrain that separates you from most Keep up the great work and good luck on any of your endeavors!
Wow thank you joesphmarks3841 it’s genuinely appreciated and thank you. My table is usually 6x4 feet but this one was 8x4 as I added another MDF board on the end. I’m looking to do one soon that will be 8x5 feet just waiting on getting some new MDF sheets.
Ok, my table is 6'x4', but I'll need to upgrade to a more sturdy table, still trying to decide on whether I should use carved MDF or gaming mats with modular pieces? Anyways I'm just getting started into the hobby, and have always had it in my mind, but wanted to wait to do the hobby right, and so I've saved money over the years and decided to go all in: Miniatures, Terrain, Paints, Airbrush, Foliage/Flock and of course time! There is a lot to this hobby and it can seem daunting at first, but for me and as with you it's an ongoing passion project. When I was younger I collected many of the 21st century toys and Forces of Valor Tanks, Vehicles and infantry, I also was a huge fan of the Miniatures and playsets from Conte Collectibles, I later got a little closer to the real thing when I reenacted American Civil War for about 8 years with my Father. So military history has been part of my life ever since I can remember. But, It's people like you that provide such an immersive experience for wargaming that has inspired me to get into this world of miniature wargaming, so thank you!@@dazvanderyoung1911
I can honesty say that your battle reports are the first of it's kind that really enjoy. You realy focus on the battle, no unnecessary chitchat. Love the models and scenery too.
Thank you that’s great to hear and I make a point of trying to stick to the game and video in clips, so that all the measuring, calculations, drinking tea and being interrupted by the wife are done off camera 😂
Great video. amazing terrain models and narrated. I really want to try and play a game of Bolt Action however I noticed quite often sixes are needed to hit and or wound something. Not sure if I like the dice mechanics of this game.
Thank you Sam and I think I’m going to do something similar on the next video or even limit some dice for a set number of turns to simulate disorder following a barrage or similar etc. It might upset the purists but I think the order die system can be ‘tweaked’ to really add to the game. For example being able to order an elite/vet unit twice in a turn?
I love the Duke of Gipton Regiment idea :) Outside the scope of the rules but I'm sure that some house XP rules could be created for a rolling campaign. And I thought for a minute you were going to say that the rubble bits (nice idea btw!) were hand painted :) Couple of 'technical' points - the MMG team FUBAR, they'd only go as far as the board edge and no further (unlike, say, in X Wing). The Firefly firing at Company C after entering the woods would give soft cover to the target as it's firing more than 1" through the woods. And finally! The two mortars, I use old acrylic X Wing (that game again!) target lock tokens to identify which mortar is which, and which spotter (if there is one!) is spotting for which mortar!
Cheers Bazza and as it goes the rubble bits were painted/dappled to break up it just being small stone scatter etc. I’m going to do some proper mortar and barrage aiming markers for future as I don’t like using just a die and the ‘Dukes’ will be getting a new plastic converted mortar team rather than using the metal Crusader minis one.
Cheers Mark and my roads are made from industrial type carpet squares cut into lengths and painted up. If your on Facebook check out the Bolt Action terrain page where I’ve posted a ‘how to’ guide with pictures etc.
New to your videos. I love the modeling and your use of commentary. One question: I noticed that when you fire your MG's at infantry in hardcover they get a hard cover bonus, and also a hard cover save...Shouldn't the infantry only get a hard cover bonus once?
Cheers Joseph and glad you like the videos. As for the hard cover issue, I might have got it wrong but hard cover gives a to hit modifier and also adds a +1 toughness to wound (+4 regular troops become +5 veterans for the purpose of casualties from small arms I think and that’s certainly how I’ve played it?
Love your videos - the terrain, pacing & style are great. One question - when the Panther fired HE against the building in turn 6, and rolled 12 hits, shouldn't that have brought the building down and killed everyone inside? See "HE Weapons Against Buildings" and this bit "If the total number of hits scored (before halving if the unit goes down) is ten or more then the building is blown to rubble and all infantry and artillery units inside it are destroyed." or do I have that wrong?
OMG you are right and I totally overlooked that. Never rolled two 6’s for hits before so my brain didn’t even think of it being exceptional damage as I was thinking about the down and half hits rule! Lucky escape for C Company then 😜 the fortunes of war haha. Glad you like the vids anyway and thank you it’s appreciated 👍🏻
Cheers Phil and sorry for the late reply. The wood chips were from a craft store and come in a bag and are used for decorative crafts. I simply spray them a number of colours in a bit tin and then use them as scatter.
Also, I forgot to ask… your buildings are some of the best ones I’ve ever seen have you ever thought of doing a commission for them? Let me know if that’s a possibility because I would love three or four of them for our table.
Thank you SGusky, but sadly I’m quite slow at doing stuff and it takes me all my time to get my projects done and I wouldn’t want to let anyone down etc.
I kinda skipped to the 1 hour mark but within a few seconds there was a major mistake. You can’t have 3 of your units shoot at a target at the same time for the sake of ease. You have to resolve each individually. This matter when it comes to taking an enemy unit down to 50%, pins and morale tests. I started the video ago and within about 10 seconds you realized your mistake.
Yeah once I’d done it and filmed it, I had a ‘Doh’ moment and realised. I thought about re rolling and re filming but was pushed for time so just ‘fessed up’ on the next clip 😜
31:25 AFAIK no german tank ( in WW2) used MG42 as their hull or co-ax MG's; applying the "Buzz Saw" rule seems inappropriate. (I don't play Bolt Action, it is just a casual comment).
Simon I know they used MG34’s but in the rules they are classed as MMG (or MG42’s) for BA rules and I think they do this because the rule writers took the view the MG’s were static mounted within the tanks and therefore capable of increased rates of fire if that makes sense etc.
I know, I realised at the start of turn 5 I should have brought him on in turn 4? Only having 12 order dice and more units than dice adds some dilemma to decision making especially if you lose order dice during the game. Hope you enjoyed the video though.
MMGs are considered FIXED, therefore they need a run order to move, but only move 6". So even though they had to run to retreat, they could only move 6", not 12. A unit has to be on the ground floor to exit a building, so, it should have stopped on the 1st floor.
Not sure the mg team should have left the table and been lost. For one thing you measured 12" straight from their position but when you're on a second floor I thought you had to count going one level down as a 6 inch move, also not entirely sure but I always count entering or exiting any building as a 6" move to prevent people entering into buildings and miraculously being able to shoot from any window even top floors. Also I thought if you are forced to retreat you retreat "as far as you can before you're blocked" so the mg team should have just moved back away from the position to the wall? Maybe you are right to have them go further but I must say I haven't been playing it that way. I just make it so they run back, hit the wall and go "down" and then to fire they have to move back to a window/hole next round. (I.e. a fubar means they lose their setup positions and must move back when they wish to fire again) I would have to look it all up to be sure but I'm pretty confident even if you do make them run the full12" it should have been 6 " to ground floor then 6" away from the exit. Meaning they stay on the map. Course I might have it wrong!!! Lol Great table and models btw. Very nice! Love the way you introduce and show off the models at the start , for me ALWAYS the part i enjoy most in bat reps as im more into the painting than anything. LOVE the idea of marking the units by name, does mean you need to get the uniforms and everything even more accurate tho, means youre forced to not use a stand in unit if the livery doesnt match (e.g. the tanks etc) , i love it but once you set a precedence it might limit your videos iif later you want to use a normandy based unit in say italy. But saying that, being too pedantic is my problem too!!😂 i have half a dozen tigers and 2 are snow livery, 2 normandy type, 2 desert , i should be able to field 6 in a game but for me i just couldnt do it!!! Lol i couldnt put 6 different tanks in a single battle!! Hehe I might have to give you a link and show you my huge collection!! I have so many tanks and armies i think i might have a problem 😅😝
MMGs are considered FIXED, therefore they need a run order to move, but only move 6". So even though they had to run to retreat, they could only move 6", not 12. A unit has to be on the ground floor to exit a building, so you're right, it should have stopped on the 1st floor.
I love the stable camera shots, the punchy dialogue, the quick results with a short explanation... Truly top class battle reps.
Thank you and I just wish I didn’t get tongue tied now and again but I’m concentrating that hard on holding my iPhone steady and framing the shot I forget what I’m saying hahaha. Greatly appreciated thought.

Great terrain, great minatures and great narration. Brilliant for a newcomer like myself
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it and hope it’s been of use to you or given you some ideas etc.
I'm new to the game so these videos are just right and your modelling skills both armies and battlefield are brilliant
Thank you and I do these videos for just such a purpose (although I do make mistakes, lots of them hahaha) hope they help and give you ideas for your own games and terrain.
Best report I’ve seen, love the back story, terrain is well done!
Brilliant filming, you interact with the viewers so well! Your models are absolutely stunning!! and the rubble around the buildings is a great idea. Thanks for such a great video 👍👏
Thank you its appreciated and when I do these videos its to hopefully give others either ideas or inspiration to make the best models and tables they can and any little terrain ‘hack’ that works for others is great to hear.
New to bolt action and to the hobby. Your videos are a great example of what is possible. Wow, very impressive.
It’s a superb report! All moves and actions are well explained and clear. And you keep showing dice rolling process which is a lot of fun! Thank you!
Brilliant video ,organising a game with my nephew in May, haven't played for a year or two ,your video really inspiring ,love the terrain 👍
I wish I even had a smidgen of the skill you have in making your terrain pieces. Absolutely gorgeous. Keep it up!
Thank you so much for this. New to the game and the pace at which you walk through things for the rolling is perfect. Your tables of terrain are inspirational.
Wow thank you and glad the videos are of use as that was my intention when I started doing them, as watching others videos inspired and helped me likewise. Check out Table Top CP, great videos.
Some of best commentaries around ,thanks
Thank you Colin its appreciated very much. Hopefully videoing again in November
Thanks for an excellent BatRap!
Beautiful table as always and and intriguing story.
12 order dice was a good twist 👍🏻
Great job and I’m looking forward to the next one!
Thank you very much and it’ll be a couple of months before the next one due to holiday/work and some buildings I want to get finished for the next video.
Enjoyed watching, thanks for taking the time to put this together.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it.
This is all made with a lot of love. Great!
This a great video! Just started Bolt Action and found out a fair bit from this. Thanks.
I could watch these every day. Your terrain is magnificent.
Great battle report. Probably the best Bolt Action BatRep I've seen.
Stunning board. The buildings are fantastic. Just planning to get in to Bolt Action, and this is inspiring stuff.
i enjoyed your video. Really great terrain. The figures were beautifully painted. Thanks for posting.
Just starting Bolt Action & watching these to help get the jist of the game.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 (LS13).

Nothing I can say that hasn't already been said in the wonderful comments. Keep up the great work!
Cheers Stephen it means a lot and yours and other comments give me the impetus to strive for bigger and better videos.
Great battle report, as always!👏👏
Thank you Anton its appreciated
Daz...'Send More Brains', I mean more videos.
I really like the way your terrain and models look, the way you give brief and professional turn by turn description of the battle, the fact you don't use stupid bright colored dice (but rather nice natural earth tones) on the battlefield that everybody else uses, LOL.
Keep up the great work...Joe, Wash DC

Once again, an incredible and very inspirational Battle report
I love the fact that you try to be as historically accurate as possible
And that you modify the rules to provide a more strategic and interesting contest
But there are two things that stand out that are just wonderful to see, and I wish more people would take a note of
1. Not one mention of points.
Put down what you think would be a fun game and go with it
2, and the most important, not one assault rifle to be seen
It gets tiring seeing so many bolt action battle reports with the Germans where Everyone is armed to the teeth with assault rifles.
This has to be the best bolt action battle report channel on RUclips. Keep up the good work and more please
Bloody hell thank you very much SGlusky and I’m not one for points and much prefer historical accuracy in games.
I understand people like to play tournament games and army lists but I like to see scenarios something close to history.
I do find the rules fun and flexible and use old school order of battle lists popular with Rapid Fire rules that I used to play over 20 years ago.
I know exactly what you mean about unit armament or special units and its fair to say I won’t be doing a Pegasus Bridge game with Gurkha Paras anytime soon 😂

Thank you and I sometimes put stuff on the Facebook painting Bolt action pages, but I don’t use Instagram
31:25 AFAIK no german tank ( in WW2) used MG42 as their hull or co-ax MG's; applying the "Buzz Saw" rule seems inappropriate. (I don't play Bolt Action, it is just a casual comment).
Simon I know they used MG34’s but in the rules they are classed as MMG (or MG42’s) for BA rules and I think they do this because the rule writers took the view the MG’s were static mounted within the tanks and therefore capable of increased rates of fire if that makes sense etc.
@@dazvanderyoung1911 Fair enough, it just seemed a strange comment.
is this played using 1st edition rules?
No 2nd edition, but I know I’ve made quite a few mistakes as I often do when filming as I’m concentrating more on framing and recording etc.
Where was the RAF spotter. No TYphoon attack.
I know, I realised at the start of turn 5 I should have brought him on in turn 4? Only having 12 order dice and more units than dice adds some dilemma to decision making especially if you lose order dice during the game. Hope you enjoyed the video though.
RAF: Rare As Fairies.
Hahaha brilliant
MMGs are considered FIXED, therefore they need a run order to move, but only move 6". So even though they had to run to retreat, they could only move 6", not 12. A unit has to be on the ground floor to exit a building, so, it should have stopped on the 1st floor.
Yes I often make mistakes as sometimes when filming I’m concentrating more on that than the rules and only when I watch it back I realise etc.
Not sure the mg team should have left the table and been lost. For one thing you measured 12" straight from their position but when you're on a second floor I thought you had to count going one level down as a 6 inch move, also not entirely sure but I always count entering or exiting any building as a 6" move to prevent people entering into buildings and miraculously being able to shoot from any window even top floors.
Also I thought if you are forced to retreat you retreat "as far as you can before you're blocked" so the mg team should have just moved back away from the position to the wall? Maybe you are right to have them go further but I must say I haven't been playing it that way. I just make it so they run back, hit the wall and go "down" and then to fire they have to move back to a window/hole next round. (I.e. a fubar means they lose their setup positions and must move back when they wish to fire again)
I would have to look it all up to be sure but I'm pretty confident even if you do make them run the full12" it should have been 6 " to ground floor then 6" away from the exit. Meaning they stay on the map. Course I might have it wrong!!! Lol
Great table and models btw. Very nice!
Love the way you introduce and show off the models at the start , for me ALWAYS the part i enjoy most in bat reps as im more into the painting than anything.
LOVE the idea of marking the units by name, does mean you need to get the uniforms and everything even more accurate tho, means youre forced to not use a stand in unit if the livery doesnt match (e.g. the tanks etc) , i love it but once you set a precedence it might limit your videos iif later you want to use a normandy based unit in say italy. But saying that, being too pedantic is my problem too!!😂 i have half a dozen tigers and 2 are snow livery, 2 normandy type, 2 desert , i should be able to field 6 in a game but for me i just couldnt do it!!! Lol i couldnt put 6 different tanks in a single battle!! Hehe
I might have to give you a link and show you my huge collection!! I have so many tanks and armies i think i might have a problem 😅😝

@williamrthompsonjr556 ahh yes I forgot the team run/advance limits, well I'm glad I got it nearly right! 😄 thanks for clearing that part up
why the germans are superb painted? i am gelous
Hey brother this was a great video! Please say there will be more :)
