Keeps repeating to himself "You have enough miniature games, you have enough miniature games." Granted Bolt Action/Konflict 47 is a great value compared to GW.
I really like this breakdown. You touched on everything that I as a hobbyist and a consumer want and need to know in a consice manner. I'll certainly be thinking about picking this up. 07 for Slaydo's successors!
I think I'll pick it up, use the British stuff for my 8th Army army, use the German vehicle for my winter Germans, and use the German infantry for Zona Alfa.
Band of brothers was good in its day, they were some of the first warlord plastics where you didn't have to line the little guns up with the hands. It's aged so badly though. Even though I'd only like the armoured cars I'm chuffed to bits for the hobby that they've released such decent starter sets to get people into the game.
@@ModellingforAdvantage I've a few resin armoured cars, I always get the feeling it'd be the same if I carved the model out of wood with my teeth. They arn't hard to put together, it only gets tricky if you want all the wheels to line up in a staight line.
Even though the Puma was designed for North Africa it had too many delays in production to make it before the campaign was over. That being said, that would have been an appropriate model to include in this set to go up against the Humber. I'd pick this up if I hadn't already had a ton of Afrika Korps models already. If I was going to get an armored car it would be the Sd.Kfz. 234/2 Puma with the enclosed turret and the tank gun.
It depends if they have a plastic kit in the warlord range, I'm sure an army boxer Italy is on its way but the Italian kit has apparently just sold really well. The other minor nations do have kind of deals, but with the models all being metal they are really expensive at the moment. Saying that if you're interested in the French wargames Atlantic to a really good plastic kit.
@@blecao Yeah, I bought a couple of boxes of Italians that never got to me too. I really regret buying the metal miniatures for the French and Italians though. In comparison to these beautiful new plastics they are a bit rough.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding but it look like the AC built in the picture for the Desert Rats is a Humber II with a 15mm Breda gun. Is that not correct? At that point I think it balances out because the Humber II will be weaker against the 222 but the 222 is open-topped.
Its a really nice video breakdown but I wish you would have shown the other starter sets when you were speaking about them. The same few images cycled on rapid repeat was not particularly engaging.
Massively helpful vid thanks. Just picked up GW and if the locals are into it I'll grab those starter sets to top them up if it goes well. How well do you think it goes in for fighting against late war lists?
If you split a Gentleman's War starter set, who gets the rules, templates etc? If you get 2 sets, you could just trade the models with each others, so someone gets all the Germans and the other gets all the British
Hello! I enjoy yout videos! How would you go about building an Italian force for early war, Balkans theatre? what infantry and support would you build? what starter or army kits would be most cost effective to get it done? thanks for your thoughts/
When you started talking about the other box sets you should of shown them instead of just cycling the same few shots over and over. This would help with making sure people understand oh he means this or that.

Go for it mate. You won't regret it.
It's the natural next step for a war gamer. You can get some massive savings online too.

Point out from modeling aspect. The armor is the new plastic variants. Prior to that both were resin/metal, which adds to the value here.
Well, color me interested. Great name too, “a gentleman’s war”.
In future videos, it would be helpful to have photos/info of the other sets when you’re talking about them.
Just getting into that game myself. Definitely buying this set when it drops. Always found the North African campaign interesting.
I think I'll pick it up, use the British stuff for my 8th Army army, use the German vehicle for my winter Germans, and use the German infantry for Zona Alfa.
Planning something similar myself.
I need a humber for my 8th army! Now there will be more being sold so i can get one!
I am pretty stoked about these too.
"stop buying mini's, finish the ones you have already".... - me watching this!
Can you do a review on each starter army for each faciton. EG: German forces - Blitzkrieg, Waffen SS, Heer, Grenadiers, Paratroops etc..?

Those armoured cars are sweeeeeet!
@@ModellingforAdvantage Can't be better than having a crude, expensive lump of warped resin?
@@dannyhalas9408 I never touched the resin version... my modelling skills are not uo to it, nor is my patience.

Minor nations players:Wait you have starter sets?

@@dannyhalas9408 i know i had bougth a box months ago but you know they had have some problems

Mk IV Humber parts would be if you were using it in NWE rather than North Africa.
Regarding the Panzerbüchse it's pronounced Panzerbüxa. Chs is pronounced as x in German, for example Fuchs (German for fox) is pronounced foox
Actually it’s pronounced with more of a “pan-zer-boo-hsh-a”

Great review, great set.

Definately picking this up!
Great stuff!
looks fun!

Maybe show the other sets you spoke about instead of repeating the same graphics
very helpfull
