This is VERY timely. I’ve just persuaded my wife to try a game for the first time! Wish me luck…😬
Be careful...I introduced my wife to bolt action and she now owns 2 1000pt german armies.
You can't let her win, and u can't win. Good hunting
I know it's 2 years later but... How did it go? 😀
@@hiddendragon6437 haha, well, I didn’t need to buy a second army for her.
Very inspirational video in regard to teaching folks. Hobbying always needs new blood, and helping people help that is a valuable service to the community
We like her!!! Hope to see her more often on the channel.
Excellent teaching game. I think Jessica did well for her 2nd miniatures game ever. I enjoyed her child like wonder at some of the rules.
When a teaching game is done right, the level of excitement for a system/wargaming in general is kept for a long time.
I can still remember my first game of Bolt Action almost 6 years ago, and though it took me till 2019 to start playing properly it was always in the back of my mind.
Great video!
This video highlighted how the rules can be a bit overwhelming for your first game. This game does get a lot easier the more you play. I hope Jessica makes another appearance in a future Bolt Action video. And Tabletop CP has my vote for good sportsmanship in this match.
Well done, Jessica! Your future opponents will learn to fear your ability to cause them devastating loads of circle-pokies!
I hope everyone enjoyed the game as I enjoyed watching it. However I really wanted to see the goats enter into melee combat. Sigh. If only the rules allowed goats to fight back! Bravo to all!
Cheers and be well.
Good job growing the hobby! Also very good timing for myself as my friends and I have set a date in December for our first Bolt Action game.
It's really nice to see these "How to play" videos. They are a good inspiration and this one is made very well.
Jessica did a super great job in destoying the opponent army - and at the end of it got a hold of basic pin rules, moral test and shooting.
Good video and she got fair questions, glad u included it all, very educational. Reading the rulebook isnt the same.
She was a fun and entertaining and fairly adorable addition to the game! 'whats a 'commisor'?
Great vid!
The one pokey guy with the two things. That was the official Heer designation for a light machine gunner. 😉
Very nice to see a new player involved. I enjoy teaching people about our hobby; glad you did this. 😊
What got her interested in tabletop war gaming?
Hey Brett. Travis and I used to worked together, well still do in a way. When we were in the same office he use to get a lot of packages.... A LOT of packages. A few years ago he was so upset about the wrong grass being delivered... i had to ask what was going on and who the hell orders fake grass. Just recently i asked if i could finially try and learn and he said the best way was just to come play.
We aren’t gamers, we’re Students of Martial Detail. So the wrong grass can be a huge deal! Lol
Welcome to the club Jessica. 😊
The wrong grass?! Devastating….
He is "Der pieksige Typ mit den zwei Dingern". Not sure this is a historically accurate term, but.. who cares?
Great video for teaching me the game! Thank you!
Brilliant stuff Travis, great to see new people!
Probably the funniest game I've ever seen and useful too - it helped to clear up some of my confusion about BA rules.
Thanks Duncan, glad you liked it! We hope to do more
Nice job Travis! She should play Andre in Sharpe Practice!
Thanks for the time and effort to create these videos, very informative and you make everything very easy to understand from a new player as myself.
"How do you feel now?" LOL! Priceless. Her talking smack had me rolling. Awesome demonstration!
Great video! Please do more Bolt Action, I'm new also and can't get enough of it :) also where did you get those wonderful pin markers ?
Thanks! The pin markers are from Charlie Foxtrot models.
Just picked up a band of brothers box to split with a friend and a box of German grenadiers. Thanks for the content!
That's a really good project. Showing new people what Wargaming is. And as well for people on UA-cam who don't know the rules!
Great video. Great to see Jessica get a very good intro into Bolt Action!
Good introductory game. Other noobies to the hobby I know have been more interested in the animals on the battlefield than the soldiers, too. Maybe it's time to house rule an 'Oink!' type event a la Sharp Practice into Bolt Action. :D
BA-64 should of had the 12.7mm HMG option, other than that like you said both sides was pretty much equal in all areas and capabilities.
This game looks cool. Nice to see a NA channel talk about it.
Couple observations:
1. Jessica needs to play more often...with the "fellers".
2. Whoever gives this video a thumbs down is a bad person
What else do you call them? 😉
@@jessicawood767 The little guys with the big hearts. Or dudes
@@jessicawood767 My Mrs is insisting that I name every single soldier 😂
Father and Son Gaming sells bases with names on the underside for Russian, Japanese, German, and American armies. This isn't an endorsement, I just happened to see them on their website. @@beatjunky101
thank you you guys are great!
Great video really hope you do one for sharp practice.
Star wars legion got me into tabletop this is the next game I wanna venture into. This is a perfect video
I really want to get into this game more. However, I have discovered that I really do not have any place in the house for this yet. I guess I could paint out in the garage.... lol
Excellent vidéo!
Good learning video 👍.
Very helpful for us newbies
Great video. Very good for beginners, by the way ... beginner's luck with the dice :D
BTW I've just started this video this is great!! I've started a Japanese army so I'm hoping to get some rules with the new starter to fill out my army
Saw this vid and subscribed cheers!
Cool! Thanks! 🍻
@@tabletopcp in future could you do another video please on how the army specific army rules work like banzai
Andre taught you to be patient Travis
Like the table
Best batrep ever
The "assistant" with the PL (Platoon Leader) is a senior Sergeant called a Platoon Sergeant or maybe Staff Sergeant depending on attrition etc. Fyi.
Fantastic video, thank you!
Where are the mortar markers from? They look great
The mortar hit markers? I made them out of kebab sticks and clump foliage
Good show. I was wondering if you did any How To Play videos. If not we’ll maybe you could. You should have spread a bit of gravel from the house to the road. Hey how can I get a set of your dice, do you sell them? Thanks
I don’t the sell the dice directly. I send them to the Old Guard and Operator level patrons as a thank you.
New to Bolt action and found this very helpful. Where did you get your pin markers?
They are from Charlie Foxtrot
Great video!, Where do you get the rings around the bases for NCOs and Commanders?
Got ‘em off eBay years ago. Haven’t seen them in a while. They make 3d print files for them now or can buy from 3d print shops
Great video! With the hand on hand combat tho, you missed the reaction fire since you were more than six inches out. Besides that, very good rule exchange. I also recommend Americans bc that’s who I run and they don’t suffer the move to hit penalty!
Yeah you are right. I missed that. But will remember for next time.
Spectre operations. I'd like to see someone use the dog models.
You go girl
She did well
Love those building btw, where did you get them?
These are from 4ground. Their Eastern European village
👍
Where did you get those lovely little houses from? or did you make them yourself?
These are from 4ground. Their Eastern Europe range.
When your officer charged from outside 6", would her unit have been able to shoot defensive fire as you charged?
Great game, enjoyed watching a lot.
I just called and asked him. You are right! Darn. Maybe next time!
Yeah you are right. I think I they had not activated yet so they should have gotten some defensive fire
What are those bases your NCOs are on, I like that touch
I got these off eBay. They were part of an old Kickstarter. Haven’t seen them on there for a while. I have seen several 3d printed versions of it since so may what you check for those.
Just starting the view, probably wont get a reply but question. Why make the Soviet teams 9 men strong when 10 men has such an advantage with regards to pinning? I would have thought, if you had points limitations, make one squad 10 men and one eight. The impact of one man on the 9 man squad is not a great reduction where as the other gets a decent advantage and can be a fire base for the group.
Probably just symmetry really. No real tactical reason behind it. But you are right a full strength squad does convey an advantage that is probably worth the squads not being symmetrical
Absolutely adorable...."kill the ugly guy" lol
When charging the unit on the road, why didnt you tell Jessica to shoot at them. As you said it was more than 6" when you fired your SMG at them the turn before? And so she was allowed reaction fire to the charge.
Whens her next game.
If I missed it was just a mistake. Things get missed while filming the game sometimes.
@@tabletopcp ok yes narating and teaching i bet is confusung
Love the site trying to see all bolt action reports
Andre should be there to chaperone!
Jessica has strong looking hands
Must be all that goat wrangling 😄
Goat mom! 🐐
if only if i have the buck to buy sets and play😭😭😭😭😭
1:16:33 ahhhherrgh sure.
You have a ruthless wife. My wife only likes Ticket to Ride, and don't dare try to tell her winning has mostly to do with luck. 😉
I am not sure but, could it be, that you guys did the vehicle movement wrong?
It’s possible. What did we do wrong?
@@tabletopcp Could be that you only did not show but the way you moved them... I might not remember correctly I thought the way you are allowed to move was more... straight and turning around with wheeled vehicles was different...
But I didn't play for a longer time so I might have mixed the rules with another game 😅
I’ll be honest, I’d much rather dress up in camo or ww2 uniforms then grab some rifles an shoot some targets than play this. But if this tickles ya then Godspeed
Ok then. Lucky for you no one is forcing you to watch or play this.
If it ain't rainin' - it ain't trainin'. So on nice days you can stay inside and play bolt action.
stupid intro logo sound too loud...
Don’t watch then.
@@tabletopcp im not saying that I don't like the videos, but first the volume is so high its blasting yur ears out, then you need to raise volume again for the content itself. Maybe adjust it a bit when editing?
But sure np, I'll stop watching then
@@cobruh836 I will reduce the music volume at the start. It’s all you had to say. I welcome suggestions and criticism but not insults.
@@tabletopcp sorry for insulting the intro logo
