Great game, this is a period and theatre I like very much. Funny enough we played a similar game over zoom the other evening and the Russians had very similar dice results and the Japanese suffered like you Travis
Some rule things Travis, the Japanese are fanatics, they never test for losses until the last man also in melee, if you loose it is a draw and just refight. Steve got the dice right out of hell, they were on fire.
Unless I am missing the point, down just means taking cover, not necessarily cowering in the fetal position. Maybe a better simple rule is that whomever has the fewer pins goes first. If both same number of pins, still simultaneous, else roll. Good idea none the less and agree that CC should be a little more predictable from a game perspective.
Great game as always. Japanese are fanatics so if they are not down to the last man you do not have to test morale. Steve will have to give those dice to an opponent now. They will never roll as well again. Look forward to seeing some more Bolt Action.
Holy crap Travis! That reminded me of some of my French Brigade charges against James' lone militia battalion and he ends up rolling straight 6's for 10 rounds in a row and wipes out my entire Brigade! Sorry Brother, better luck next battle👍😂
I did some back of the envelope math on the wacky dice rolling. If the outcome of a roll was expected (leadership test), or approximately matched odds, I scored it as "Neutral", if the result was unexpected, or the roll favored Steve or Travis, I scored it as such. Steve had 29 favorable rolls to Travis' 20 favorable rolls. (Neutral was 40 rolls). Steve shot 118 bullets to Travis' 42 (Quantity has a quality all its own). Travis shot 7 HE/AT rounds to Steve's 3. Fisticuffs, yea, we will not talk about that :-)
Oh I love the presentation of the army with individual shots!
that's exactly what I was always wishing for
Enjoyed it. Very thematic board, beautiful minis. Great dice Steve. Those guys were motivated at 52:14.
I like the whole “put the hills UNDER the battle mat” idea. Evens slopes out and looks like it’s easier to balance the models.
Visually it's really subtle but then again I'm from the GW generation of steppe-level hills.
Absolutely EPIC stuff! Pls, pls, pls Post more🔥🔥🔥 Really made my day!!
Very nice battle report. Thanks a lot. Now my motivation to paint and play Bolt Action is back. Greetings from germany & keep it up.
Yes, this channel always inspires me to paint my minis
Bolt Action and Sharp Practice are my favourite BatReps on your channel. Keep up the good work!
This was a really fun game to watch! Probably the most unique theater selectors I've seen on the channel thus far!
Oh man, its been months since Ive played my Japanese army. Great video and game guys, thank you for posting
wow what rolling that was by Steve
First time I have seen a beat down like that on this channel.
Great game .
Ty
I'm actually in process of writing a campaign for Bolt Action based on khalkyn gol, great to see someone else taking interest in this battle!
Really nice, is it officially for Warlord or is it a fan made project?
@@wifi_soldier5076 just for fan use, i don't think warlord is interested in khalkyn gol at all. Bu maybe, if its fun I'll send it to them
Great game! Really like the new intro/army breakdowns.
Well what a pleasant surprise to watch after work I think I’ll mix myself up a dark and stormy to watch stormy stormy

thank you
Oooooh what an interesting match up!
Great Sunday night entertainment. Thanks guys.
Wow what a game; brutal!! You should float those dice of Steve's haha :D Great game, you kept a good attitude throughout :) hah
d day or Iwo jima like this would be awesome I like the new format for the beguinning.
Good to see BA again. A great win for Steve.
Good game I can't say much without spoiling it....lol ....Nice to see some different early WW11 front action..

Hell dice! That’s awesome. Good one Jens!
What material is the tabletop covering made from? It looks amazing for hills.
It’s a soft fleece material
@@tabletopcp it's gorgeous, excellent work!
If you are painting a Finland army you should do a step by step like you did with your sharp practice army.

Where can you get the model for the 4m quad maxime?
I believe it from warlord

What what was that about blind squirrels? 😄
@@tabletopcp Nuts a'plenty on Friday night.
Sir, where did you get those circular pin markers? Also, did you paint and flock them?
These are from Charlie Foxtrot. I did texture and paint them and add some grass.
Crown Royal dice bag! Now you're talking!
do it in Chain of Command now :D
Gonna try that in May.
its BANZA - fanatical charge not BONZAi - the art of miniature tree pruning :)
Gaz should be 20 dice not 16 right?
Yeah. I think we figured that out the second time it shot.
Hilariously it's still gross at 16 dice. The thing is a meat chopper!
Who needs strategy when you can roll good die.
also yay Khalkin Gol
6 after 6 after 6 :P
The soviets actually do get the flag for free if you put it in the free rifle squad.
Good game, but the Japanese would of never conceded the battle! Fight till the last man and cause a pyrrhic victory for your opponent.
But how much talk.... 6 min of useless words.
If you don’t like it don’t watch.
