Excellent game! Interesting scenario! Enjoyed the game of two cold-blooded commanders. And inspired a bit of pleasant nostalgia. Many years ago, with a friend, we played Waterloo. But something went wrong. They captured the Iron Duke!🤪
Great game enjoyed it it's a good job I can catch up to watch the game and it's was brilliant I thought you just got it. Hope you and your family have a great Christmas 🎅🎅🎅🎅
I am on card 3 and I'm enjoying this, and it looks great. But Guys, you are missing an opportunity to use the Inspire rule. When you move your Brigade Commander he can attach to a unit and remove a Disruption.
Mate, Happy Christmas to you and your family. Can you briefly explain your table terrain setup. Is the base of the table surface a large canvas cloth (I assume larger than 6 x 4) with a permanent road surface (glued down?) and suitably painted. I assume the rest of the terrain (teddy bear fur etc) placed around the table surface is to create a playable textured gaming surface. Again, I assume you have hills under the table mat to create hills / elevations etc. Question - Are they simply books under the tablecloth or do you have polystyrene hills to create the hill / elevation effects. Please take care over the holidays. I always enjoy your videos of all your gaming systems. You have a dedicated following here in Australia and we are all inspired by your gaming. Cheers in advance
Hi there, so it's a mat from Geek Villain which sits just a bit bigger than 6 x 4 to allow for terrain. The road is made from a earth mix I make up so I can change the road each time, when some I just sweep it away and back in the jar it goes. The hills and other lumps and bumps are made from Towels mainly as they look more natural than the polystyrene ones, the added bonus is you can squidge them to look how you want. I hope that helps. Thanks so much for watching 👍
@@7thson726 obviously you can play it however you like and we are a little "loose" of our interpretation of a few rules, but the actual rules say "During its charge move, a unit may wheel up to 45 degrees. It costs half the units total movement distance to wheel". Pretty clear you lose a whole half a move if you wheel.
Having played SoN recently. I really enjoyed this rule system. Far superiour compared to Black Powder imho. The only thing that annoyed me are those many typos in the rulebook. As you have encountered yourselves (Commander loss VPs are wrong in the Quick Reference Sheet). Furthermore its La Grande Armée, not Le. Freikorps, not Friekorps. Leib Hussars, not Lieb Hussars etc.
@ it was a very enjoyable watch, I got the rules much better this time around. The cavalry charge did seem a bit too powerful for light cavalry, but I would be curious to see how they fare against a square next time!
@TheAVeidt I think alot of that power came from a combination of not being in square, the bonus from the card and truly terrible dice rolling 😅 narratively I suppose it speaks of those rare moments where the opportunity presents itself to truly make mincemeat of an unprepared or overconfident enemy 👍

You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it 👍
Very interesting system, funny battle report...it seems to tick some boxes! Love the table and the miniatures!
Thanks KS buddy, I hope you are keeping well 👍
I forgot tomention that your figures are beautifully painted. That really adds a lot to the enjoyment of the game.
Nicely detailed terrain + very tidy figures + good-sporting banter =a very enjoyable batrep (👍)
Safely merry yaksmas from across the oceans.
Thanks very much for watching, merry Christmas 😁👍
Beautiful table and excellent game!
Thanks 👍 we had a great time so glad you enjoyed it
@7thson726 it's an incredibly fun system. Looking forward to you guys picking up the different deployment zones, postures or a campaign.

He can? I've totally missed that then 😅

any chance of a blackpowder battle report martin ? i'm set up for christmas day blackpowder acw game .,
Maybe, it has been a while 👍🤔
45 minutes into it you use an event to charge 18 inches but do a 45 degree wheel, don't you lose half your move if you wheel?
Good question, I'll check 😁
58 minutes in you take disorder off but you have 2 disruption and 2 bases so can't remove disorder.
@@cptkremmen we read it as you can use up to half your movement to do a 45 degree wheel

@cptkremmen ah well, it's our 2nd game, we'll amend the next time 👍 thanks for the heads up

I really enjoy this as well, I'm still enjoying VP but this scratches a completely different itch for me 👍
I really thought you were winning this one Martin!
Yeah, I thought I had it in the final turn, especially with the volleys but some terrible rolling put that straight to bed 😅 thanks for watching 👍

@@TheAVeidtagainst a square I probably wouldn't even try the charge. They would not fair well.
@@7thson726 yeah to be fair, it did happen historically often enough
