      George from our group made them, they are very hardy and stand up to being knocked around… plus they really do look very good.
      Between our group we are able to pull together some nice scenery and figures, which is why we decided to share this with others.
      Hope you enjoy the videos and give them a thumbs up 👍🏻 or even better subscribe if you haven’t already, it all helps us to be motivated to continue and build the channel.

    Hello, superb table and original scenario. Can you specify if the objectives can be taken by any type of units or only infantry or artillery? Thank you

    • @theministryofminiatures
      @theministryofminiatures  Рік тому

      Hi thanks for the comment.
      Infantry only, so artillery also… but that means you have to push forward to get to the objectives as quickly as possible!
      Glad you liked it, we have more planned soon 👍🏻

    I play with a guy that has a Wasp Mk II and he also has the light mortar in the back he can sort of make you pay if he hits you with both the mortar and flamethrower at the same time! I have seen it happen twice and the poor infantry didn't stick around long.

    • @theministryofminiatures
      @theministryofminiatures  Рік тому +1

      That’s fantastic, the wasp is such a great vehicle to take with the British, it has never let me down… we did have one game where it destroyed 3 of Ricks tanks in the game…

      @@theministryofminiatures I own 8 flammer vehicles in my 4 factions 3 for my US M4A3 Zippo, then a M4A3 CWS 5 with a 105mm with coaxial long barrel flamethrower and coaxial MMG in the turret (you can fire one not multiple weapons from the turret, and also it really has no stats for Bolt Action WWII but it can be used in Korea under the USMC M4A3 flamethrower). Finally M4 Crocodile people go oh a Churchill, and I say no Sherman. Then my Soviets have 3 KV-8, KV-2 and finally a OT-34/85. And finally just a single vehicle a piece for my Germans and Japanese in the form of the SD Kfz 251/16 Flammepanzerwagen and SS Ki engineering vehicle. The SS Ki is nasty as you can upgrade it to the Bo and so have a flamethrower on all 4 facings, front, left, right and then rear.

    Tough loss for Rick on this one!
    I've noticed you've got quite a similar aggressive play style as me, which gives you a lot of board control and options. Whereas most of the guys you play against are quite "cagey" which really gives you quite an advantage.
    Could have been a different story if that bombardment didn't shread Rick's army apart. Maybe.
    Great battlerep as always guys!
    P.s. love the fact Rick, even in summer with his shorts on is wearing his checkered slippers! Comfort is key lol.

    • @theministryofminiatures
      @theministryofminiatures  Рік тому +1

      Haha yes, my play style is pretty aggressive, I always aim to advance, fire and a unit must do something of value… makes it worthwhile! Also get the objectives is a must.
      I think my bombardment is just repayment from our last battle when Rick did the same to
      Me!!!
      I am also in the process of making a small token so we can have you highlighted in future games as either the officer or team… will be a disc with your name on to highlight who is running you! Hopefully will make sense when you see it.
      And i simply had to leave his slippers in shot 👍🏻

      @bazza1carter Рік тому +1

      It does. Can be a risky strategy especially in kill point missions where shooting a truck that has more than one unit in it. And one or more of those is a small team like say an assault squad of ten with a flamer team for example.

    Not a fan of mixing weapon types in units although it is thematic and some times fits the scenario. What I cannot forgive is that you didn't give the Recce Jeeps the extra MMGs - shocking!!! Dropping one LMG would have given you eight more shots for the same 20pt cost...
