Nice to see different armies on the table. Agreed that the free units/extra tank option for the Commonwealth make it a bit tasty!. On the competition circuit it's usually cut back to either one or the other. Didn't help that you got counter deployed, and Andre didn't miss! I
Guys why dont you ever do the turret jam roll? It can make a game changing difference if you get your gun stuck facing away and you get immobilised etc. Your forced to use mgs or even dismount the crews so whereas usually theres so few tank kills amd maybe too many immobilised or fires and a few pins the extra roll to see if that turret gets jammed can really make it a sort of killing blow when it wouldnt usually be. Allows flanking moves to avoid the gun thats stuck in the one direction too so extra tactical options too.
As I'm watching the intro my first thought is: how many points would it be to field the same forces in Chain of Command? LOL I'll be the first to admit I'm not a huge Bolt Action guy but this looks like it will be a very interesting smash up (he says, all of 5 minutes into the video).
@@zioalecpov1815 that is true as well. The setting for both forces is just off balance. " Dice and unit worth 200 point for free and two of the best early war tanks you will ever find, but that is the way Warlord Games want the game to turn out.
@@tabletopgeneralsde310 i really hope that with the new "tough guts" book Warlord will give us a competitive italian faction, inspired by the RSI italian army
Love the reports, and great to see less-common armies being played!
That was some aggressive deployment of those Italian tanks, Travis! Great game!
Love the added audio and visual effects. Great battle report and playthru as always.
Great job as always Gents! Thank you for the entertainment 👍
When that artillery hit the squad , it was 4d6 hits because they were in the building.
Oh yeah you are right. Even worse 😀
I was just about to say the same, there’s also the chance the shell hit the top floor and not the ground floor.

Another great report. Unlucky Travis specially with your 2 tanks going up in Flames. Also thanks for the shout out again?
Always like your Bolt Action content. Losing those two tanks back to back stunk (but in my few games my Sherman get lit up Ronson style).

That was harsh! Lovely models and terrain though. Well played, guys. It was interesting to see a non-Europe game, too.
Come on. Anyone who expected an Italian chance with two Matildas vs M13/40s is dreaming. This was a foregone conclusion.
Matildas …queen of the desert!!
Great game and board. Bit worried now as I am building up an Italian army for our games 😮😮😮
I would not judge their overall performance in this game. This was a fluke. Although they are not amazing overall they can still win games.
@@tabletopcp Thank you. Too late now, got the models and fully commited to the cause
@@bringbattlewargaming8720 it’s a fun army. You will have a good time with them.
Probably you already know but that's not the model of an elefantino it's a solothurn anti tank rifle, the elefantino is bigger and needs 3 mens
Yeah I switched to the correct model when I deployed it.
cool with the a effects
I just finished my first unit of 24 French AWI figs for Sharp Practice while watching the game, 50 more to go....lol
Poor Travis, your dice luck is similar to my wife's in this match. She once rolled 14d6 and not a single one rolled over a 3.
Great game and Andre was on fire. The Indian army selection foregoes all the British National characteristics, so no free artillery observer.
Here for the algorithm
Brutal! That was fun to watch, but in a regular list the Sikh’s lose the second Matilda. Taking out two of them is a tough ask!
Where can I find the rules for this? I've got the bolt action v2 book but not seen this ruleset. Very cool game as always
Maybe one of the army-specific or campaign books? I'm new to the game so I might be mistaken.
The army rules are from the western desert campaign book.
Thank you. Il get that then.

You could only do it using the Big Chain of Command multi player rules
@@tabletopcp yeah that's what I was thinking. So far I've only tried one game of that. It was hectic to say the least.
Here you can see why the Italians needed Rommel and the DAK
Yeah but he played those m13/40 as if they were Tigers, from the start directly in front of those Matildas and 2 pdr Is the best way to lose them

@@zioalecpov1815 they do to much at once, epic here another game there and only the Germans have a book for V2
that italian list didnt have a chance.
Tough call for the Italians with the British receiving 200 pts for free
The real Italians faired no better. Good game
Sikh and destroy
