Apologies, I had to complete an emergency edit!!! New video is up, hope you enjoy it and give it a thumbs up for the new player to both Bolt Action and wargaming!
Wow, thank you. I enjoy getting others into the game, and sharing our battle reports. Glad you liked it, are you new to the game or do you play already?
@@theministryofminiatures I've played a few times, but its been a while and I find I keep forgetting rules. It was just nice to see a well made video of a good game where what you were doing was talked through. I hope to play more some day.
@Featherus_ great to hear you have played a few times, biggest help is finding someone local who has the same interest, we are lucky enough to have a small group of enthusiasts. Thanks again for the great feedback and hope you can keep watching our content as we grow. Thanks again 👍🏻
Met you this morning at Salute in London, with my son and we played the Band of Brothers game - thank you for taking the time to explain the game to us, and all the additional advice - we’ve come away hooked on the game and will be watching your back catalogue over the coming days. Already planning to visit our local club and looking forward to many hrs of research and painting - Many Thanks 🙏
No problem John, glad you enjoyed it, and you are always welcome to come over for a game. Can also try other games such as Middle Earth, American War of Independence etc. If you are interested 👍
Thanks! We made the video to help introduce Bolt Action and wargaming to a new player… I also wanted to show what you could do with just the Band of Brothers starter set. Great game and hopefully a new player! Thanks again for the comment 👍🏻
@jimhamilton9444 ah, you should have come over! We are probably going to be there again next year, so if you’re going definitely come over and roll some dice!
This video is coming at a perfect time, someone is having a Demo game for me of Bolt action at my LGS tomorrow and I am so excited that I already ordered the British Airborne starter set direct from Warlord games yesterday for my first army.
@@theministryofminiatures I was originally going to start collecting Japanese, but they are more expensive and I saw how good of a deal the Airborne have and ordered immediately (Since I am starting the game I still had to have money for stuff like my Core rules book and Order dice) I always thought British Airborne were so cool looking ever since I was a kid playing original Medal of honor: Allied assault on PC. I'll definitely get the Japanese for my second army though!
Thank you, glad you liked it… the hope is that it helps explain the basics and helps others getting into the game. John has already asked for another game so that is great news! Thanks again.
Great video for beginners and even seasoned vets going over the basics. I thought John did really well considering it was his first game. Put me and my first game to shame that's for sure!
@@TheGreyWolf94 I am slowly building my DAK force to fight against my 8th army… it’s becoming a labour of love, because work and family commitments have slowed productivity, but I do love the DAK… just need to get them painted!
Glad you liked it, most of our battle reports go through the dice role and bonuses, make sure you check them out, and please subscribe to keep updated with our latest releases. Thanks for the positive feedback 👍🏻
Thanks for meeting me and explaining how to play in person! You were very patient and informative, and I learnt a lot. Also thanks for getting me hooked on another war game, I ordered my German Grenadiers this morning 🤣. Hoping to play again soon but this time I'll know better how to, thanks to your help and your excellent channel. Cheers!
Absolutely no problem, really good to meet you and walk through the game on a 1:1 basis, glad you enjoyed it and happy to point you in the right direction for a great offer on a new army. Looking forward to seeing your new army on the table and being able to get another game in soon. Thanks for the positive comment.
Again the BOB set would be far better and more equal if Warlord got rid of the SD Kfz 251/10 and replace it with a 251/9 Stummel. Or even a regular troop carrier 251/1. The 10 would be good if the US had some type of vehicle be it a Jeep or even truck. But as is, it really is an underwhelming unit in this box set. That is my only criticism when it comes to the Band of Brothers set.
yeah, I can see that... it was a VERY popular set at the UKGE at the NEC this year, and brought a lot of new players to look at the game. Some of the newer sets are great value, and really well balanced. The new player was keen to play the starter set, I was happy to teach him the basics. Thanks for the comments 👍

Great intro game, and good use of the Band of Brothers set, well done!
Thanks 👍🏻
This is perhaps the best beginners intro game I've seen on UA-cam.
Wow, thank you. I enjoy getting others into the game, and sharing our battle reports.

Thanks so much for showing me the ropes. Had a blast playing and would love to have another game.

Great game, helped me a lot. Loving your channel. Thank you
Thank you for the feedback, much appreciated and is the reason why we do it! 👍🏻
@@theministryofminiatures saw you at the Games expo but didn't come over as I was a bit shy lol
@jimhamilton9444 ah, you should have come over! We are probably going to be there again next year, so if you’re going definitely come over and roll some dice!
@@theministryofminiatures I will
@jimhamilton9444 cool, make sure you do so can get a couple of goes in 👍🏻
Great video , the format is perfect for a new player and I enjoyed it. Very well done !!. Ty
Glad you enjoyed it, as a starter game it was a bit of fun for both of us, and allow John to learn the basics.
Thank you for the positive feedback 👍🏻

Great news, the Airborne starter set is a great start, and a good reliable army.
Good luck with your new adventure!

@@ZenofPainting definitely made the right choice, British Airborne are amazing 👍
Fun Battle! thanks for the rules & strategy chat along the way. especially the unit grouping & use of cover.
Thank you, glad you liked it… the hope is that it helps explain the basics and helps others getting into the game.
John has already asked for another game so that is great news!
Thanks again.

Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it. You will have to let us know which armies you run... and which is your favourite?
@@theministryofminiatures I run late war British mostly, but I have a big soft spot and guilty pleasure for the DAK too!
@@TheGreyWolf94 I am slowly building my DAK force to fight against my 8th army… it’s becoming a labour of love, because work and family commitments have slowed productivity, but I do love the DAK… just need to get them painted!
More of this please!

@theministryofminiatures absolutely! I'm watching the Operation Barberossa series now as well, what a cool campaign!
@ShooterNumberOne great news!
Love the video but
32 min shooting at squad behind the hedge they where down is it not Another -2 to hit ?
Possibly, would need to go back over it.
I think you were forgetting the morale modifier for the officer?
Did we miss one? I know we were including the morale modifier, thats why he moved his officer up to get the bonus.

When I played this set, I felt the exact same way. Missed every shot with that cannon haha
