Thought the Japs where going to walk that one, be interesting to see how the Ghurkhas get on . Was wondering if you think that having to use a lot of dice in a game it can end up taking away the narrative/story of a game.
I may be wrong but, having watched hundreds of your Sharp Practice games, I can't remember the native indian units EVER contributing anything to the battle! They seem to get their leader shot first time or end up getting shot off the board. Am I wrong and suffering from selective memory? 😂
@tabletopcp thank you(by chance have any references for off table assits in game like in country like air strikes artillery etc new to the genre of mondern military table top
I'm curious about your method of using sand for terrain, e.g. roads, streams/rivers, and in this case rice paddies (as opposed to, say, felt). It looks good, but isn't it a pain to clean up? How much to you lose each game (presumably there's some left on the mat that you just shake off)?
So excited for this campaign. Love it when you guys visited less popular fronts of WW2 like North Africa and the Far East. What about an Italy campaign next?
Is the Japanese force considered "Jungle Warriors?" If so, they get a +1 to their Green Die, so all those 2s you rolled would allowed hits (albeit still in hard cover).
@@tabletopcp yeah , i like the way you houseruled double phase. I still think playing elite vs elite allows to play more the objectives, because its harder to kill stuff and go down on force morale
The British senior leader to pull shock from the 2 pdr must join the team. As such he would have been an eligible target to be wounded. As he's joined that 2 pdr team and using his initiatives to aim the gun he can't issue other orders. Page 19 main rule book lads. The tanks in the paddy field would also gain partial cover, so the British target number would have started on a 7+ Good batt rep though, can't wait to play it myself.
Excellent. Watching this with some interest as I'm playing the campaign, in August, with Storm of Steel Alex. I'm playing as the British and Indian forces.
Wow, did not see it going that way. I thought the Continental forces were getting their asses handed to them but then they pull it out the bag. Great board, great scenario, fun to watch, and the way it turned added to viewer enjoyment. Another great post and job well done - cheers
Awesome map,... I would find it interesting if you did another video after the battle is done, showing the map being disassembled, I am curious how you recover the sand, or do you just vacuum it all up, ha ha,,, also when I watched the July 4 game, I was surprised that rolling the dice didn't play havoc with the sand,,, and thirdly, I went ahead and preordered the V3 Bolt Action package, the starter plus hardcover book option, I am curious on your thoughts, with the tiny bit of info that Warlord has trickled out so far, Thanks!!
Well I will probably play a game of bolt action on this map next so I won’t be breaking it down any time soon. I don’t save the sand. I just shake the mat off outside. I will be giving my thoughts on the v3 soon
Are you going to play V for Victory (new WWII ruleset from creators of SAGA). I would really enjoy if you could give it a shot and see how it compares to Bolt Action.
Hi Travis, Nice scenario. Not to be too much of a rules lawyer, but random events only affect the last unit activated, not the last unit to fire, move or attempt a task. If the last unit activated didn’t fire, move or attempt a task, there is no random event- that is spelled out very clearly in section 3.2
Awesome game to watch. Your post-game discussion was very interesting too. Morale v fight-to-the-death is an good topic to talk through. How do you feel about that?
Well depends on if you are playing a camping or one off game. Campaign games make toy rhino about loses and if they are worth it or move on to fight another day. A one off game who cares just fight to the bitter end.
