Welcome to the Eccentric Man Channel. My aim is to publish battle reports featuring many of the big name rule systems, Bolt Action, Too Fat Lardies, Osprey Games and Studio Thomahawk. Along with this I also put up modelling, unboxing and painting videos, in fact anything that grabs my fancy and hopefully yours! I try to reply to all comments but some do sneak passed, and I try to pick them up if I do. I game out of Lost Ark Games in Stevenage, Hertfordshire and if ever you are nearby give a shout, we might even be abkle to get a game in.
Hi there, vehicles are 1/56 which is the scale Warlord and Rubicon produce them in. figures are 28mm which is probably 1/50. some people use 1/48 scale vehicles which are more scale model kits with many more parts and perhaps a little too big.
@@TheEccentricMan - Interesting. I always thought 1/56 = 28mm, but it doesn’t. Personally, I prefer 25mm - 1/72 scale for gaming but again actual scale of the minis can vary between 1/80 and 1/66 depending on manufacturer.
This is the showcase ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0dacjolECX8.htmlsi=fJXnLtVNaPdFLNNG You would have to get john to order them in or you can go to North Star Miniatures and look at the link to the Crusader range of figures.
The 75mm is a light howitzer in the game it has the option if using an aT shell giving it the same AT as a light AT gun 4+ so it is a dual purpose gun. Nice paint work FWIW there is no panhard 178 in Levant where R-35 served. The armoured cars there were Laffley /White AMD -50 or Panhard 165
Have never played FoW. Got the impression players were abandoning it as it’s “ever-so-very-slightly” unrealistic. Interesting to hear the views of someone who’s actually played it.
Looks Brilliant! Looks to be pretty well balanced too. I am a little confused on what you said about the artillery. I see the FFL crew on a 75mm Mle 1897(a fine field gun which can do AT work as well) and the Colonials you made fit with the Hotchkiss 25mm ATG. Did you mean you wanted to upgrade this to the French 47mm AT guns, either the 1931 or the APX? I think you said 75mm in the video. So, I was just curious...
Thank you! I think I'm getting a bit confused on which is a medium howitzer or light for Bolt Action. the 75mm is a light gun, where as i need a 105mm for a medium.
So you manage to throw out the bells and had to find them and brake off the cross several times and then lose it? WoW who in their right mind you let you build for them ever again... hahaha
@@TheEccentricMan - Haha, nah I prefer to being able to sleep at night. Jokes aside I avoid resin kits, but your video did inspire me to order the church and should arrive today and because of the trouble you had with the cross I either will put it on the last minute or put on something more durable. So thanks for that.
Very nice looking. I have always thought the 3D breed a bit chonky but as you saybin a seperate unit will be OK. BTW the French 75 is a light howitzer in the game rather than medium for that you need a Schneider 105mm. I am going with 4 x 75mm howitzer ( eventually) 2 for portees and 2 for normal gound mounts. Probably only use 2 or 3 at any one time but you never know.
@@TheEccentricMan Hello I hope you're well I wonder if you could tell me the address for the model shop in Stevenage,I threatened to come down some time ago ,but I've got a juncture and am thinking of going tomorrow cheers now
My Romans were originally for Infamy but my main Too Fat Lardy opponent has now moved away. I may be able to interest John in a game but he is very reticent about learning another rule set (its an age thing 🤣)
Opposition likely to be my Canadians that can be very easily proxied for Australians, or my colonial Italians. Artizan don't do a VB guy for the FL but I can probably a fix one of the plastic ones to a metal rifle if i'm lucky.
