glorious game to watch played. Own the rules. Haven't played with them yet; now I know I need to do so and I need to make that happen soon.

Excellent!!

Nice Well done mate 😎

That's a sumptuous rendering of the rules. Recently picked up a copy of Fantasy Rules! Probably 25 years old, talk about "compare and contrast"

I'm sure it's very nice and all, but at forty quid+ for the PDF from Wargame Vault, I think I'll pass. It's a shame because I was interested in this and the historical version, but Caliver are taking the Michael with their pricing.

Looks good. I’ll pick up a copy from Caliver Books at Hammerhead show (Newark 1st March). 👍😉

Excellent battle report!

Can these rules be used for ultramodern? (Post WW2 and maybe post Cold war?) Or would it need a bit of tweaking? I have also been looking for a ruleset with solo rules or using rules to try implement into MBT wargame by GMT and loving the look of this with the markers etc. Thanks in advance!

As you know I have watched many of your actions, but this one epitomises to me my personal issues with one hour wargames. This game shows that there is no tactical action; it is just a line up and see what the dice and cards bring. Purely for myself I would prefer to se a situation in which a player could have input into the action, other than creating random results. It may well be for the majority of the battles in this era that the results are frequently random, it is just not something I particularly choose to enjoy. To me the vast majority of my pleasure in fighting wargames which consists of not painting the figures, not having pre-deterministic results (and there are some very strong causal arguments that would sugest that once you had shuffled the cards and set the units on the table that these results were causal, although I do not propose to get into that discusion), but in using my forces to operate tactically on the table, or to manouvre stratically within the terms of a campaign to win. I agree that not all wargamers feel like that, and I may be a member of a small variety of players but things like this to me still leave open the question, "So what can I do?". Having had that whinge it was fun to watch.

Going to show my ignorance here, but how do you come up with either a 15 (original) or 14 (handwritten) scale with 13 cards (1 (Ace) through King)? Edit: Never mind, I see you use Joker as value 14. New year and I am none-the-wiser, El Oh El.

Superb Viking raid, splendid figures!! Wish you a Happy new Year!

Very thematic, how your battle unfolded: Saxon slingers too frightened to engage the berserkers; a Saxon unit panicking as the Viking battle line closed. Of course, those 'panicked' berserkers will have to answer for their 'withdrawal', but that's a matter for another game. Love your replays.

OHW War games always give a fun game with lots of possible twists n turns 😊

Great to see another OHW game!

Are these 28 mm models?

So you roll 1d6 and those are the hits? Until 15, then unit or figure is eliminated?

So looking forward to the arrival of my book

Greg, your game videos sold me on the content of your rules; bought a copy today from Caliver. Have thoroughly enjoyed your play-throughs of One Hour Wargames too.

Wow, love your backdrops. Been a year since you posted this, but where did you get them? Sorry, game was great too. Own 1 Hr Wargames and a bunch of other similar works, plus I have plenty of 28mm ECW, so I loved your ECW fight. Your terrain is superb too; love the transition from road to track up the hill slope.

I think the German officer may have to report to the armoury for a new Broom Handle Mauser ...... he's had the barrel shot off !

Where can I find the values ​​for the units, i.e. attack, defense, etc.? I bought the e-book on Amazon, but the rules only say "roll the dice", "+1 to defense", etc., but I can't find any basic values ​​in the entire book?

I'm prettry sure it's pronounced "Tay-HEER-uh"

Nice. Looking forward to this.

Will keep my eyes on this as i am painting old 80 (and 90)miniatures right now

Sounds good. I will be keeping an eye out for your videos of example games and, of course, also for the rule book early in ‘25 😊

A lovely table covered with nice looking units. I always thought that 1-hour wargames were a little too simple based solely on reading the rules, but seeing them in play reveals the depth. Also, I will point out that the Blue regiment on the Parliamentarian side is carrying a flag from Prince Rupert's regiment. One can only assume it was captured in an earlier battle and is being used as a trophy...

I really enjoy your One Hour Wargame, One Hour Skirmish etc battle reports because the rules you use really demonstrate the beauty and the ease of these simple but highly rewardable rules. Sadly I find I just can`t watch them in the way I`d like to because (and please don`t take this wrong) you never ever, ever, ever finish a game to its natural conclusion and always `call it` far too early. The game might be a foregone conclusion.. or is it? We simply never get to find out :-( I would beg you appealingly to start playing games to the end, which would make them feel soooo much more complete, without it feeling like watching a movie but always missing the end :-)

Thanks for the response on my last question. I would have re-replied there but seldom see content creator go down past an initial reply on UA-cam. So my additional questions would be, what was the inspiration for the VY side losing their action on a change to MS, and would it break anything to say; on a failed check it goes either Measured or Bold but still gets its action, only a following fail keeps that disposition, either way acting accordingly, then on subsequent fails it goes back to the baseline but if it then doesn't fail it goes back to it previously established Measured or Bold? Just feel it would be more decisive in that if they went Bold, for example, moved out boldly and then a 'Oh snap, maybe we should have,' and then go Cautious. I get that you'd lose some of the friction, but having been binge watching these, seems there might be too much? Friction could just be the available actions from corresponding dispositions; Measured - shoot OR move, Cautious - shoot AND move, Bold - double move or double shoot. Just thoughts, sorry for long comment.

Hiya - This is nothing but a presentation comment;. at around 14:50 you describe the germans as using an MG42. If you (as I know you are) are trying to promote your rules then using acontemporaneous weapons tend to indicate to viewers that you are not necessarily "au fait" with the scenario. Perhaps next time an MG38 or an MG08/15 or similar weaon would have been more appropriate. (and yes I know it is picky so just ignore it should you so choose).

Vikings would be lovely. Curious, what was the inspiration of having units fall back vs going down or being pinned? Seems there would be a lot less fiddly movement, as the Germans in this case really seemed to be an accordion.

A superb - and bloody - battle, beautiful terrain and armies!

Great to see these types of WW2 skirmishes. I like this battle system. Looking forward to more of your battles Sir. What scale Minis are you using?

Excellent batrep and and great looking table. I'm waiting for more videos like this.

Thanks for this!!!

The comentator admited in the briefing there might be mistakes (there is a big learning curve with these rules - but worth it) so this comment is for the benefit of future viewers, not as mean-spirited in any way. Reinforcements only come when the combined initiative is exactly seven, not when 7 or greater. "If the die scores are not doubles then read each die individually. If you scored a total of “7” you might have generated Reinforcements (page 69)"

Is there still a Facebook group?

Is there still a Facebook channel for these rules?

Hi Graham. Another great video so thanks again. One question: I wa pleased to see the corrections at the beginning of this video, especially the one about REINFORCEMENTS. This has been confusing me no end , however your clear explanation left me reassured that I understood the topic - that in solo games, the enemy does not benefit from a roll of 7, but only from qualifying doubles. I was confused again however, when you brought on French Armour reinforcements on an activation roll of 4-3. Surely this is wrong. They can only have reinforcement from DOUBLES. My question from that would be: what actually happens on that 4-3 roll in favour of the enemy? Does the player (Germans) take reinforcement instead, or is it just ignored for reinforcement purposes. Thanks again for the brilliant videos and beautiful tables. Steve.

Great video but I have a comment about the arc of fire or swath. According to the rules an SMG has a Target value of 3, which means it has an arc of fire of 3 inches and allows the firer to roll 3 dice to target enemies (page 25). In your vid you allowed the firer to shoot at 7 targets which is wrong. He can only target a max of 3 enemies within that swath. Otherwise Keep up the great work!

Where do you get the miniature? Who is the manufacturer?

Great scenario Greg .. Loved the narrative just wasn't the Americans day ! Brilliant terrain and great idea for the tunnels 😊

Nice battle report! The D20 random events table is a nice way to bring complexity to the battle in a neutral way (favoring neither side). What scale do you use for vehicles (tanks, jeeps, apcs, helicopters, boats, jets)?

Good battle report! I really like the riverine landing versus mining scenario.

Nice batrep! What scale/brand miniatures do you use?

Fun scenario! I really appreciate the explanation of the rules while you play. Have you picked up the Unconventional Warfare supplement? What are your thoughts on it?

Great gameplay. Does this game have rules for other missions besides village clearing (eg. firebase, tunnel clearing, hearts & minds, SOG or SEAL raid, riverine patrol, interrogation, base area destruction, LRRP snatch or sniper mission)? Are there rules for tripwire mines, punji pits, claymores, mudball mines, tiger traps, snake pits, bamboo whips, cartridge traps, grenade in a can, and maces? Is the game limited to US versus NVA/PAVN and VC or are the rules conducive for other forces (eg. OSS, Imperial Japanese Army, French Foreign Legion, Royal Lao Army, ANZAC, Khmer Rouge, Hmong, Montagnards, CIA, Chinese PLA)? Can a US player use any force (eg. Marine, Air Cav, SEAL, SOG, LRRP)? Is there support for vehicles in the rules (eg. armor, Cobra gunship, jeep, gun truck, apc/acav, jet)? Are there rules for fire support (eg. artillery, mortars, napalm)?

Hi, For the figures which set are they please ?

very enjoyable! Beautiful Armies!

Excellent. I’ve ordered a copy of your book from Caliver Books. It was quite expensive with the exchange rate and shipping. I would have gone with the option of a PDF. Also I think you’d sell many more books in PDF format. But maybe I’m missing something. Anyway, I’m looking forward to getting the book.

Interesting game.. Which could have gone either way !
