One such bridge crosses the Thymbris River. A detachment of Crusaders along with Byzantine Allies have been sent to se...

Test of Honour (Battle Report 03) - Assassination
just came across this nice vid and I am very much excited about these Caballero Minis. Ideal for my running projects ( Crusades, Reconquista ). How do the compare in size/dimensions to say Fireforge Crusaders range ?
Wow! You are going to be very busy! I always enjoy seeing what you are working on and look forward your future videos.
There is alot on the go for sure 👍
Good scenario, and brilliant result.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Enjoyable game, well done Hayley.
I'll pass it on 😁 thanks for watching 👍
Glorious man even at the beginning
Thanks very much 👍😁
Great game guys. I really enjoyed that. Some very interesting mechanisms in the game. I'll watch your other games before jumping in i think.
Glad you enjoyed the video dude, there will certainly be another game 👍
Normally Hayley your dice is much better, hope you can defeat him next time. I enjoy the games.
Thanks for watching 👍 don't worry, her dice are back to normal
Love those narrative campaigns! i am planning a campaign for Pike and Shot, taking a few ideas from you guys, thanks a lot!
We really enjoyed them, we've just about finished planning the next part. I did think about one for P&S at some point but I think we're just letting that one grow organically game to game 👍
Not clear to me if you are pleased with your commander ...? /s :D
No I'm really pleased with him, this base is one of my favourites, I can't remember but I think I was operating on very little sleep when I made this one 😁
@@7thson726 it was a bit of a jest, its very clear you are happy and rightly so!
@@YOUPIMatin123 ah I see lol 👍
Finally got around to watching this! Thanks!
Hope you enjoyed it, thanks for watching
Hope you are doing well, miss the Hanoverians ❤
Cheers buddy, all good here. Haha, bloody things, they didn't do well for me in the last game, i clearly dont have the knack
Was great to see you there. Those Gauls for ep8c look great.
Was great to catch up mate
Curious why you are not into epic scale pike and shot?
Because I already have a massive 28mm pike and Shotte army and I rarely play a period in multiple scales, sometimes, but very rarely
@@7thson726 makes sense Oh well. I will enjoy the epic romans!
Those rules are exhausting. Too much,
Fair enough 👍 plenty of rules out there to cover everyone 😁
Hello! First time seing you. Your table is FANTASTIC. Please give us tutorial? Thank ( maybe you do, havent checked ) Getting subscribed
Thanks for watching and welcome aboard. I'm going to be doing a video at some point about how I set up the tables 👍
When it comes to forming a square, it should be on if the cavalry is seen or not and if seen at what distance, the depending on the training of the troops, how long will it take to form square, so if there is a lot of smoke you may be contacted before forming that square...!!
True - there should alwasy be (in my opinion) the chance of a blunder somewhere in there to represent poor leadership or something going wrong but those critea seem sound
@@7thson726 The point is that if you don't see the cavalry charging at you, you should not be able to react, because of smoke, noise, and confusion, and if they are seen, and they are better trained they can react quicker...!!
I'm really into the Napoleonic wars and could tell you which battle is depicted in all the famous paintings! From someone also in the UK (I'm down in the south but way west of London) how would I go about getting into something like this and finding people to play with that aren't pushing retirement!? (The photos on the websites of the local gaming clubs show everyone looking 50+) I've never done any wargaming so not looking for really complex stuff that drags on for a whole weekend, just something you could play over an afternoon.
Thats great that your looking into it. As you have alrady pointed out clubs are a good start though i appreciate what your saying. Another way is going into some of the Napoleonic Gaming FB groups and looking for players. Groups such as Black Powder 28mm Wargaming, Warlord Black Powder Napoleonics, Napoleonic Wargamer all come to mind. Also, the group we run through our podcast has alot of players for all sorts of games all across the country. Just search The Plastic Crack Podcast on FB, answer the three questions to join and once approved post away. I hope this helps
Thanks Martin & Robin, it was nice to see these rules played and I look forward to future instalments.
Cheers buddy, we had a good time playing and will be doing another one soon 👍
How could I miss this? Anyway, excellent video and interesting techniques. I am glad that I am not the only one who uses an intersting mix of colours from many different companies.
Really pleased you enjoyed it, to be fair I forget I did this one at times as well 😅
Very entertaining! Hope to see more of this, great battle!
Thanks 👍 there will be more on the way 😁
Hi Martin, i need your advice: what would be the best way to obtain rules clarifications for hail caesar epic rulebook? Those are about something really missing from the book, not the typical question arising where people did not actually read the text. Thanks in advance
There are a couple of groups on FB where it's easy to get clarifications from the writer and playtesters. The best one is called Hail Caesar Rules Discussion. What is it your after?
Great video, well done to you both for giving us such great entertainment. It was great to see these rules be demonstrated. The cards seemed to make the game very clunky and sprinkled Napoleonic 'flavour' in a pretty random way unconnected to what was going on in the game itself. The cavalry behaved in a very un-cavalry way and were clearly unable to force the infantry into square. Having got on the flank of the Hanoverian Landwehr the Chasseurs a Cheval should have been able to sweep the brigade away. However you both clearly enjoyed it and you have saved me from buying it. Thanks again.
Totally appreciate your comment and thank you for putting it forward in a decent, reasoned way, sometimes people aren't as... polite haha. I think i have some quetions over the the way cavarly acted which i hope will be resolved over the next few games, as that was the area i felt we maybe got wrong more than anything else. But we'll see. Thanks for taking the time to comment. All the best.
Was good to meet you at the Warlord Games Open Day. I spoke to you about the Battle Of Maldon if you remember?. Looking forward to seeing more of your Zulu Wars stuff and the Ancient Epic stuff, hopefully we're not waiting too long for chariots. Cheers! 👍🏻
It was great to chat to you, hope you enjoyed the rest of the day 😁👍
Yes, more Zulus!
😁
Great game intresting rules but there must be something wrong with them Martin wins my world makes no sense anymore
😅 6 months, 6 bloody months that win has taken me, let me hold on to it a little longer haha
Re the first ‘big’ combat, where the elephants broke - you used triarii supporting the hastati using the manipulation rule, plus support from the principe directly behind. Couldn’t you have used the other principe unit as support, using the manipulation rule again?
* manipular
So he took 5 dice from the Hastati, 2 from the Principe and 2 from the Triarii (though this should have been 3). There are no other units in base to base as far as I can see for them to use. If there was then he had room for one more support, you only ever get a max of 3 supporting units. If I've looked at the wrong but just give me the time in the video and I'll check again 😁
@@7thson726 it could be my eyes, but I thought there was another unit diagonally to the right rear that could support using the manipular rule
Hi Martin - nice to see what you got at the open day and hear the plans for your projects. It was great to meet you in person at the Warlord open day and really chuffed that you liked the Epic Napoleonic game 👍. You’ll be pleased to know that all of my eggs since Saturday have been very hard boiled! 🤪
Was brilliant to catch up with you mate, one of the highlights of my day 👍 though you did unlock that new egg gaming table fear for me 😅
For me too ! 😝
Maybe I missed it in the back catalogue, but it would be super cool/helpful to get some insight into what you use for terrain. Things like how you make the what you use for long grass/fields, the brush scatter, etc. Great video as always!
Hey no problem, I haven't done a dedicated video but I'm looking at including one soon. With a time lapse of hose i build up the board 👍 the long grass is teddy bear fur stained different colours and the bushes are various bits of lichen and flock if that helps
@@7thson726 It does indeed! Thank you, though I'd definitely love to see a dedicated table set up vid sometime
Ciao scrivo dall' Italia , complimenti unisci arte e storia in maniera fantastica, veramente bravo!
Thank you so much, really appreciate it 👍
That was a very enjoyable watch thank you. The basing for the Zulu War British is superb. Cheers.
Thanks very much, there will be a dedicated showcase then the Zulu War bits soon 👍
What is the scale of the miniatures?
These are 28mm
Great video
Thanks mate 👍
Great update mate !
Cheers buddy 😁 glad you enjoyed it
Where do you get those trays from?
I get them from the Range, they are about £1 each and really useful 😅
Very interesting insight and especially cool as I most likely will never be able to attend such an event in England. As always I do like your bases (with the Zulus), very inspirational. Personally I would like to see more Crusader stuff, games with Hayley (always fun...) and more antiquities reports. I do watch the WoTR stuff, but as an Austrian that is a bit too special sometimes and we never really dealt with it during studies at university...:). Kepp the good work up Martin
Thanks very much for watching, definitely got more crusades on the way and Hayley will be making a return 😁
WIll you play some Test of Honour more? I love your battle reports from this game :(
Certainly will be, I've been building up a few more scenery pieces for it 👍
Very good update
Thanks 👍
Really good update.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Thank you Marin for the up date on the Warlords open day, as being in Australia, it is a little to far for a walk to get there, plus an insight into what is coming up on your channel...!!
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Thanks Martin great update! Nice to see/hear the Zulu project getting closer👍
Getting there 😅
Nice update, Martin. That's a lot of variety you are working on. I like the Evelyn wood command base
Cheers buddy, he was a lot of fun to work on, and I got him done in a single evening which was even better 😁
Great video Martin. Anything on new supplements for Black Powder?
You know what, I have drawn a complete blank, I do t think there was anything too specific, but I'll check with one of the chaps that was in the seminar 👍
Great game.
Thanks 👍
Nice game 😊
Glad you enjoyed it mate 👍
