Yet another great video thanks - keep them coming! Hope you don't mind me asking but one question on the rules - at 17:13 should there be a further -1 modify to the break test for taking artillery casualties or have I misunderstood this (which is quite probable!). Thanks
We played some games when it first came out and enjoyed them. putting the ships together and painting them was a different matter! We need to get some games in again.
Yea, it’s a great game, but agree that the ships are fiddly! I have to be in the mood as it’s the sales and rigging that can drive me nuts!! Thanks for feedback much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻
I enjoyed watching that. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Cheers, thanks for the feedback, much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻
Very nice. Cheers to you
Cheers, much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻
Hopefully audio better on this version
Heya RSD, great vid! I am definitely gonna dip my toes into Epic ACW soon because of video series like yours. I was going to ask about free moves for some of those obstinantly stationary regiments, but I realized after rereading the rules that since they were in line compared to column that they couldnt. Anyway, keep up the great Epic content!
Cheers George, thanks for the comment much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻yea I must remember to put some units in March column at the start of games!! 😎
I liked that you showed every roll. Also, color-coded dice clarified who was who and which side was rolling.
Cheers Dale, thanks for the feedback, much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent units. Looking forward to the next battle. Subbed.
Cheers, thanks for the comment and sub, much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻
Great game.
Thanks dude 👍🏻👍🏻
Why is a confederate ironclad shooting at a confederate fort?
It’s a Union ironclad 😎
I ended up getting into Epic ACW after watching your videos - now i'm sitting here hoping i can resist the urge to buy some Saxons....
Ha…well that sounds like the same rabbit hole I went down 😂
Beautiful work on the Vikings and Saxons. This is so cool, I am in the process of building the same Starter sets. Keep at it! 👍👍
Awesome 👍🏻 and thanks for the feedback, much appreciated 👍🏻 and make sure you keep at it to 😎👍🏻
Epic and bloody! Superb terrain and minis for a minor French victory!👍👍
Cheers Phil, thanks for the comment 👍🏻 much appreciated 😎👍🏻
Love how even with just a few units (ok 8 plus cannon, not so few) you can still have a fun game.
Thanks Mark, yes I agree of course! I’ve always thought that you can easily scale up or down your games of Black Powder. It’s a great rules set. Appreciate the feedback and support 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Chris, interesting scenario👍
Cheers Paul 👍🏻
Can a shaken Unit support?
Hi there and yes they can support but can’t charge whilst Shaken - cheers 👍🏻👍🏻
I really want to begin doing this, will be looking to your videos as an example!
Great, I’ve had a good time with it. Thanks for the support, much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻
Always a great watch! Many Thanks Chris👍
Cheers Paul 👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent video series! Just started Epic ACW and this series has been really helpful. Your battle reports also tipped the balance to ACW for us, they are excellent :)
Awesome, thanks for those generous comments, much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻hope you enjoy as much as I have 👍🏻
Thanks so much for this video series. Very helpful for new players and a good introduction to the rules that helps me know what's going on when I'm watching some of the battle reports
Thanks Logan, I’m glad they’ve been of some use 👍🏻 appreciate the comments and support cheers 👍🏻👍🏻
A beautiful and intense looking game, impressive lines of battle!
Cheers Phil, much appreciated as always 👍🏻👍🏻
Honestly you’re inspiring me to play this game! Really like how easy you make it to follow and pick up the rules. Keep up the good work! Oh Are all the miniatures from warlord games range?
Thanks for the great feedback, much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻there’s a few Peter Pig models dotted in there for the Commanders. Bit more variety 👍🏻
do you still need shield wall to play these armies even with 2.0 rulebook?
Hi there, you could use the basic profiles for the unit types from the rulebook, but Shieldwall is tailored to the period in terms of specific army lists, but technically no you don’t need it. Hope that helps and thanks for commenting 👍🏻
@@Roll-Some-Dice yup thanks!
These videos are a real help. Thanks for posting!
Cheers, that’s great and thanks for the feedback, much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻
Dude your battle reports are incredible ! I have always toyed with the idea of getting into wargaming and over the past few years, black powder epic scale has been what I wanted to do. I got a battle in a box set and painted a few union and confederate regiments before falling away from it. I was on Holiday last week and found your videos and in the 4 days I've been back I have 8 regiments of each good to go along with brigade commanders. Artillery and terrain will be next and planning a game for Tuesday. All thanks to your videos ! Keep up the good work and thanks for the inspiration ! Well done mate !
That’s such positive feedback. Thanks for the comment and support. I hope your first game goes well, it’s a great system 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice battle report.
Thanks for the support 👍🏻👍🏻
Only difference we use is NOT halving command ranges. Because the unit frontage and base sizes remain the same, we found that halved command ranges really skewed towards more units getting penalties to command. Didn't suit the feel of ADCs running around to nearby units giving orders.
Great, thanks for the comment and feedback. As I use 3 stands for standard units, I found that 6” works ok for command ranges, but that’s the good thing about Black Powder, it’s fairly flexible, so whatever works for your set up and preference etc. appreciate the support 👍🏻👍🏻
Well done
Cheers, much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice one. I particularly like the 'seen the elephant dynamic'. I think Cornwell describes it well in his Civil War novels when he explains that the war was like the wonder of an elephant - when you hadn't seen it, it was an exotic exciting mystery; once you had seen one, you knew the score. Great video mate.
Great reference there dude, thanks for the feedback - always appreciated cheers 👍🏻
Thank you.
Thanks Norm
Impressive set up!
Thanks, much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻
I’ve been thinking about starting a farm house attack diorama field for battles and I also wanted l to say this was amazing to watch
Thanks for the great feedback and support 👍🏻👍🏻much appreciated. I hope your project goes well too 👍🏻
this was amazing
Great, thanks for the feedback and support Dan, much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻
Lovely jubbly! Thanks for sharing
My pleasure 😎 thanks for the support 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great battle report! I recently finished painting Roman legionaries and Macedonian phalanxes. I hope to play something similar to the video.
Great, sounds like a plan 👍🏻 thanks for the comment and feedback 😎👍🏻
Excellent, look forward to more. Nice job with the miniatures!
Cheers, thanks for the positive feedback, much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻
Such a great pleasure to look at your splendid armies...Great looking game!👍👍
Great comment and feedback, thanks for that it’s much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻😎
Thanks so much for posting this video! These are two forces in ACW I haven’t played yet because I didn’t quite understand how they worked but this helped tremendously and I can’t wait to get more accurate battles on the tabletop
Great, glad it was helpful for you 👍🏻 thanks for the comment and support much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻
Steve Earle does a great song about confederate general at Wilson creek
I’ll have to check that out! Cheers 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice battle report! Yes more Hail Ceasar
Marvellous 😎 thanks for the feedback and support 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks, love your black powder videos! I was wondering, where did you find/acquire your orange disrupted blast tokens and your black shaken tokens?
Hey there and thanks for the comment, much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻 the tokens are from rampage-games.com/ if you can’t see them, just drop Oz a message 😎
I’m just getting into the hobby and your video is a great help to me. Thank you so much for your information and time. 9:49pm
Great, thanks for the feedback and support - much appreciated and glad it was of some use for you 👍🏻👍🏻
Sweet setup and terrain. I bought the Civil war starter box back when they released the Epic Scale (the initial first Starter Set box). Have not played a single game yet though. Its a sub from me.
Cheers and thanks for the feedback 👍🏻 much appreciated and also for the sub 😎 hope you can get going with it 👌
excellent, a big help to newbies like myself. many thanks.
Thanks for the feedback and support Stephen, much appreciated - glad it’s useful 👍🏻👍🏻
Great and very useful video! A question: You don't follow the exact deployment suggestions from the booklet. For instance, for the Union first brigade they suggested 3 regiments of infantry. Is there a special reason for that? Thanks. Paolo
Thanks for the support Paolo, much appreciated 👍🏻👍🏻 I basically scaled the forces down to suit what I had painted and I was also playing on a smaller battle mat, so no special reason. 😎👍🏻
The ranges you mention sounds more like a 28mm game instead of an Epic scale game, which is why halving the ranges works so well.
Thanks for the feedback. Yes those are the standard Black Powder ranges from the main rule book. 👍🏻👍🏻
really useful video, i'm just starting out with the ACW epic range. Looking forward to future videos !! thanks
Great, glad it was useful for you. Thanks for the feedback and support 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice conversion with measuremnets. The 'rulers' you use - where are they from?
Hi there and thanks for the support 👍🏻👍🏻 this should be the link on Etsy www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1097426307/
Thanks for sharing! Black Powder is not a good ruleset to play ACW. My go to ruleset is With Hot Lead and Cold Steel
Not heard of that one, ill check it out 👍🏻👍🏻 thanks for the feedback and support, much appreciated 👍🏻
I like your idea of having ranges. I still haven't played a game of Warlord's ACW but when I do, I think I'll follow your lead on the ranges. I look forward to seeing your other "epic" videos.
That’s great and thanks for the feedback and support 👍🏻👍🏻
