A really fun game to watch. Bolt Action as ever unpredictable. A couple of mistakes, the AT rifle cannot retarget if recce move successful. The armoured car when on fire should have gone down, so it evened itself out. Thanks for showing, great fun.
Excellent game as usual. Most of the fun in watching these is the chatter between Travis and Andre. After following you for a while we begin to see patterns. Like Lt. Dan (Whoever) is usually playing on the table. LOL Forrest Gump would be proud.
such a great theatre for the tabletop. Seemed like Andre wasn't having too much fun the first half but then I thought he was gonna crush Travis. Thats BA I guess!
Riley O'Steen sweep it up with a little broom and dustpan. Or just tilt the table sideways and sweep it off. I don’t keep it but have though about doing that.
I haven't played in months. I'm Jonesing here! A great looking table as always and the banter between you was as good as ever. How do you clean up the sand/grit you've put down for a road?
Sorry to message on an old video but where did you get those junglish style house from? Think of starting a Marine & Japanese armies some point. Thank you.
36:43 you dont get to pick new targets when a recce moves out of los. you auto-miss. "If the target has moved out of range or sight then the unit shoots and automatically misses." also you didnt field suicide AT, you brought improvised AT, which doesnt automatically die and can use rifles - at least model wise, dunno about your army list. they wouldnt get +8pen though if they are improvied, instead of suicide
In the process of starting bolt action so trying to learn the rules. When the veteran japanese squad charged the brittish rifles in the trees would the combats not be simultaneous? Also, would the british mortar who failed the leadership check pass with the officer bonus?
I may have misinterpreted the rules but I believe you can only banzai if it ends within 1 inch of an enemy unit. As per "Armies of the Imperial Japanese".
@@tabletopcp My apologies. Reading the rulebook again the exact wording is "If a Japanese infantry unit is ordered to Run towards (or Charge) the closest visible enemy, any order test for that move is automatically passed, as if the unit had rolled a double one. All models of the unit must then be moved directly towards one of the models in the target unit, and must make contact with the target IF POSSIBLE." (page 14 on my PDF copy of the book) I must've forgotten the "if possible", but I'm not sure the IJA soldiers in this video could always see what they were charging at. That group of trees near the British obj made it awkward.
@@tabletopcp the ad tracker along the timeline said 20. None of them played though. I commented as soon as I opened the video and forgot about the comment by the end because none of the promised ads actually popped up. I know there was an issue a while back with UA-cam dumping tons of ads on videos so I was making a sarcastic comment assuming it was their fault if it didn’t come across correctly.
@@lordravenblade it’s all good. I Like to know things like this. I have it set to only play skip able ads at the start. If it is doing otherwise I would like to know.

Hi Travis you loose a pin for every Bansai you do and coming on the table is an order test which can be re rolled if you are at full strenght.

I've been watching battle reports all day. You guys are awesome!
Agreed!
Great battle report. Great looking table and figures.
great work their on the japanese army, may i ask what coulour did you used for the helment and uniform, thank you.
ua-cam.com/video/JOramqEb_sY/v-deo.html here is a painting guide I did on Japanese infantry
Great stuff...need more of the se asia battles re enacted
great show
When you guys do the sand for pathways and scatter foliage on the ground, how do you guys clean that up after the battle report? Do you reuse it?
Riley O'Steen sweep it up with a little broom and dustpan. Or just tilt the table sideways and sweep it off. I don’t keep it but have though about doing that.
Nice Report. One question: Where do you get this colored "rings" for the bases? And what is it called?
Marian Herhold got them off eBay. They were part of a Conan take a while back. Haven’t seen them around lately sadly.

No problem. They are from sarrisa precision.
Hi
Is the bren carrier rule a house rule where they can move together?
Thanks
I believe there are rules for it in the book but we may have modified them a little
The table set up is amazing. I bet the terrain costs more than the combined armies. What manufacturer's are the tree's etc from???
The palm trees are just cheap Chinese made trees off Amazon. The other trees I made with Woodland scenics armatures with clump foliage
@@tabletopcp Thanks for the info 👍

also no, they cant banzai the objective, they need to banzai the closest enemy
Great game 👍👍👍who does the buildings in the centre they look good
Walk About Gamez thanks! Buildings are by Sarissa.

Eli Zielke it should have been simultaneous if it wasn’t. And the mortar failed even with the officers +1 command bonus
@@tabletopcp Ah, tyty. My models should be arriving sometime this coming week so I'm pretty excited to start getting some games in
You did do something with that squad in the back you tried to activate them and failed the roll.
I may have misinterpreted the rules but I believe you can only banzai if it ends within 1 inch of an enemy unit. As per "Armies of the Imperial Japanese".
Oh? I thought it just had to be towards an enemy. Have to recheck that. Thanks!

lovely armies, where did you get the disc for bases please?
They generally come with the minis. You can by them by themselves though.
@@tabletopcp coloured disc not base sorry*
04:22 - - "Lieutenant Dan!"
Andre rolled a five with that first shot from the Sherman. You were correct, he missed. Otherwise, great game. Where did you get your palm trees, btw?
Justin Németi got the palm trees off amazon. Cheap trees from China. Just have to add a base.
@@tabletopcp I saw those! Thanks1
20 ads seems a little excessive.
20 ads? During the video?

Many mistakes and as per usual almost all of them went the way of the guy with the camera.
