Your tactics/rules explanation videos are really good, short and precise but still detailed enough. Please keep those coming. Getting my head around these basic rules really helps people like me playing and performing well with empire, which is not a great faction right now if you don't want to spam lvl 4 mages and hellblasters by mastering these basic rules.

Great video!

I’d love even a short video on measuring tools for TOW. Specifically charge or visibility markers . Laser pens rulers ect . Ect …… how to use them .. and do we need them ? Tape measure of corse but I’ve heard mixed reviews on the accuracy and availability of other things. I feel YOU. Definitely can deep dive on this. Thank you as always .

Excellent video as always! Me and my friends are probably playing it wrong RaW, but we only allow the charge bonus versus the counter-charge target, so it's even more important to make the right pick :) We also have a similar approach for when you have pursued a target (A) and re-enter combat, and in the enemies turn you get charged in turn by another unit (B), you only get your lance bonus (for example) against the initial target (A), not the one that charged you, even though you technically "count as charging". I don't know how that is supposed to be played though to be fair, but it feels right!

Oh, and don't forget the flee reaction in conjunction with counter charge! say you are in a bad spot where you got out-manuevered, and there are 2 boar boys on either side, and your heavy cav unit (ex: chosen knights) is facing a front charge and flank charge from the boars. If there is 12" or more room behind you, its not a bad idea to flee if you can get beyond 19" (assuming no extra orcy buffs) both units. Then, the two boar boy units will fail charge toward you, which A: makes them 'migrate' toward each other and B: may move with different speeds such that one unit is now much further way from the fleeing chosen knights than the other boar boy unit. Then, on the Chosen Knight's turn, (assuming they rally), they reform, march up, and put themselves either: A. with both boar boy units now in the front and/or B. with only one of the boar boy units that has the 16" range needed to declare a charge. Then back to the orc turn, they get a less-good charge setup on you, and your chosen knights counter-charge, and still go first on I more than likely.

Another tid-bit is Drilled. Drilled with Counter-Charge cav units are great! IE dragon princes go from 5x1 to 2x3 formation, march up 24" on your turn. They get charged by enemy heavy cav, they counter charge, drill back to 5x1, and move d3+1 inches. Don't have to wait for your turn to get into a combat formation.

Awesome rule, and thanks for the advice. Great info video!

Great video. It explains some of the questions that we are seeing quite often. Unfortunately, counter charge is one of the worst thought out rules in the book. For example, RAW you can counter charge against redirections and pursuits. Also, what happens when a unit with impact hits is charged by two units in its front? Do you get impact hits against both?

These vids are excellent!

Regarding putting a character on a mount that has counter charge, then putting it in a unit without the rule to give the unit countercharge, I'm fairly sure the unit does not gain the rule. It explicitly says "units that consist entirely of models with this special rule". I wish it worked that way so I could give silverhelms with a BSB in them countercharge, but I'm fairly certain it doesn't.

Interested on your opinion on this scenario. Deliberately created and premeditated if that matters. Enemy dragon screened out from unit with countercharge, except for 1 small dragonshaped footprint landing space. Upon declaring charge, counter charge moves cavalry so there is no longer anywhere for the dragon to actually be placed. Resolved as failed charge or don't move the countercharge unit?

AWSOME. I use this rule allot and I just learned 5 new things to consider! Thank you for the insight. You are a wise general ! More please

Good video, certainly shows some of the interesting situations that the rule can throw up. Not sure if it's a good thing that some of the multiple charges can be avoided by getting out of the chargers' front arc this way, gut feel is they should get to go in the flank though not too sure either way. Good that it causes interesting decision making though. Kind of think there is a downside of the rule in the first place in that units that have it are sometimes (maybe even often) not risking anything much by trying and failing charges on their turn as they can usually countercharge anyway if they don't make it and get charged the following turn. Instinct is that you shouldn't be able to countercharge if you failed a charge the previous turn though there may well be negatives to that that I haven't thought of.

Good channel, good videos. Pity the game is a broken mess (dead on arrival) 😢

Well played great battle report

Love this kind of content. You could honestly do each section of the rules with a video. I for one and others would certainly learn allot and enjoy. Thanks again

😍love it. More please

Love this. I like the battle reports but these kinds of videos are really helpful! More please ! Thanks for your insight .

Thank you for sharing! Well done and nice playing!

23:57 Green Knight is unbreakable so he should only give ground.

This is like El Classico.

Great video. I'm looking at getting into old world it's good to see a cool army in action at a tournament and hear your thoughts, even if most of it is over my head :)

How did your opponent force you to take the turn? > First Turn Once deployment is complete, the winner of a roll-off takes the first turn. The player that finished deploying their army first adds +1 to their roll.

Whatever happened to good old fashioned grassland battlefields? It's all ice, snow, rock, lava and hellscapes these days 😅

Hi Simon. I dont think theres an option in TOW to give the other player first turn? unless it was home ruled at the tournament.

I played that chaos army in round three. Not a great match for my trolls with all the fire based magic missiles! I think it finished as a draw - terror helped a bit!

Thanks for the excellent summary of your games :)

Gun lines seem to be a bit of a counter to the nomadic waaagh. Ambushing wolf bosses and wolf riders could potentially help counter a gun line army. Having vanguard on the boar boyz and doing as much as possible to maximise their charge range would also help.

Given your experience with events, do you have any advice on how to speed up pace of play for a tournament setting?

Regarding that Challenge... once a challange is accepted and started you can't decline it. It will automatically continue untill the combat ends or one of them dies. There is a rule section called "To the Death" that describes this.

I play wood elves, and i'm searching a second army. I think to go to orcs and gobs, but with a list more open and more various. Thanks for return.

Items and runes are open information

Thanks for the great game! I learnt a lot from it and look forward to a rematch at another event soon! 😀

Pretty good report. This event seemed very casual

Everyone is running dishonorable exiles boo hiss. Am I the only one running vanilla 👻👻

Dwarf Gunline list doesn't look fair or fun to play into.

My friend really enjoys the Blackmore big boss BSB on chariot. Just a real brick of combat res and tough to kill.

Great tournament report!

Nice report style, good information

Excellent report as ever, always love to see this army. Was quite excited to see you were playing Dwarfs in the final round and that that meant they had done well, bit sad that it was such a miserable Dwarf list (can't really call it an army) that was waiting there. Wonder if you could have been braver with the Wyvern in the last game - it would probably have taken quite a big chunk of their shooting to kill it which might have helped you get other stuff into their lines even if it didn't make it itself and I wonder if your Unit Strength for the break point might have fared better with going that way. Not at all confident on any of that, just something I found myself wondering about.

Beautiful army and reports.

Great report as always! Good to see you at the 8th Ed tournament in Cardiff! Up for a wahrall game versus those orks!

I had the itchy nuisance once. You can get a cream for it.

Really love this format, have been missing this type of bat rep since Once Bitten stopped doing them. It's definitely the best format for tournament games.

Will we get another discussion with you all soon? Always entertaining listening and lots of ideas on list building.

Awsome, Any uppdate on the converted pump wagon? You inspired me to make one atleast!

It's always meta this and meta that, have y'all ever heard of the broken soap and hot water combo?

Nice vid. I agree about meeting engagement. What I've done in the past is agree to pair up units between the two armies, and make a single roll for both of them. Depending on how you can do it, just pair by cost or let players alternate pairing up. Then you roll for the pair and on a 1 neither unit is available at start. That mitigates the problem with one side being heavily affected, and the other getting away without anything.

Hello, Nice report. Being at the beginning of tow, lots of mistakes are done as you mentioned yourself. Against the dwarf for instance if he failed his panic test, he should not flee but retreat in good order. That’s a very very basic rule showing these results are not so représentative yet! Cheers and thanks for the content

Great video, thoroughly enjoyable. Spurring me on to try my mounted orc and goblins out myself. Your large boar unit did you usually run them in 2 ranks or 3 for the LD boost?
