Started to purchase R/F rule books since listening to you videos. Began with two just before Christmas 22 and awaiting a delivery of two more in January 23

A good little guide to that book. I’ve been looking at that for a while. I just bought their Battle of the Bulge pdf. It’s really good. Also your models are great. Thanks.

I got the older volume, mainly to fight the American / 30 Corps actions, never played any, however it is a very useful guide. At the end of the book is also the nucleus of the "Free" Dutch Forces in theatre 1944/5 . A must unit to support the Canadians if there ever was one.

yes good point. I actually flip between both books as I like bits of both of them! many thanks for having a look at my video - very good of you.

Thanks Dan, much appreciated!

Great figures Ken, might be worth letting those who don't know the scale of the figures.

@KenHanning57 2 месяца назад

Fair point, I’ll attend to that in video 2. Cheers!

Great video series, Rapid fire is my original go to.

@KenHanning57 2 года назад

Me too! Many thanks for that, more on the way soon!

@WARdROBEPlaysWWII 2 года назад

Very cool. I like seeing the organizations like this. You minis and those aircraft look great.

@KenHanning57 2 года назад

Thanks for that. Yes some of the scenarios are big, but the new guide is mainly based on smaller tables. I do alter them myself as well, the key is that they offer a good guide, that we can all amend as we see fit. It has to work for us! Thanks again, Ken

@briansouthwell3001 2 года назад

Very good beginners guide. I have both books and have done several scenario's from the original, which I prefer for the "not dumbed down" Orbats. It also shows how you do the entire campaign if you have a big enough Table!

@KenHanning57 2 года назад

Hi Brian - many thanks. Yes I realised whilst filming this that I have mixed up the two orbats a bit, I've kept the three battalions in lift 1 at full strength, rather than the pints based approach in the new guide! I'm planning an Arnhem-esque "xharge of the paras" - may be a squeeze on my 12' X 6' set up!

@briansouthwell3001 2 года назад

@@KenHanning57 I like that you do not follow the points orbats slavishly. I have 3 Para & 2 A/L - not all arrived in same lift, losses on route and landing all make it a bit more personalised. Think some of the New orbats are dumbed down a bit. eg Tanks HQ Sqns & Recce Sqn - With the old orbats you can modify if you wish to - Too many people think lime Games Workshop and insist on whatever the book states!

@KenHanning57 2 года назад

@@briansouthwell3001 I think tat the various guides that Richard and Colin have published have been an enormous benefit to the hobby, but I do like to research the historical encounters in depth. I read a lot of Peter Caddick=Adams work, and James Holland's. I've never played a balanced points game, but I do uderstand their benefit re orbats etc for newcomers especially. But I tend to overlay the guides with the history. And as you say, no unit ever arrived at full strength - certainly not airborne forces, and also not Germans in Normandy and beyond!

@gunner678 2 года назад

Most impressive. I have quite a lot of WW2 kit and several of the excellent Rapid Fire rule books. However it's been many years since I played a game. I might have a tinker one day. In fact I am somewhat isolated out on the south West coast of France, so I rarely get an opponent. I have had to get used to solo wargaming, which can be quite enjoyable. I have the retreat from Mons raging away in my war room at present. Im rapidly painting reinforcements for the Old Contemptibles, who are somewhat outnumbered. Excellent presentation and thanks for sharing.

@KenHanning57 2 года назад

Hi Matthew - very good of you to view the video. I'm a member at a club some half an hour away - but throughou the pandemic I have been pretty isolated, so I have been using video calling to have a game with friends elsewhere - especially in my old stomping ground of North Yorkshire. There's a snippet of oe such call, where a pal called Chris Flowers gives me orders for my operation Mitten game, in the "operatio mitten continues2 video, he's about half way through via an ipad on a tripod looking at the game! All the best

Another very enjoyable vid 👍

@KenHanning57 2 года назад

Thank you very much - thanks for watching

@WARdROBEPlaysWWII 2 года назад

One thing I struggle with is the size of games in that MG book. I’m thinking of chopping some of those into smaller scenarios.

@WargamingHistory Год назад

Great stuff Ken

Thanks Matt

@June1815VICTORY Год назад

Is the only difference between the two Market Garden books , better order of battle layouts ? Or is there more information in the newer book ? I have the first MY book and don't know if I need the second. Any help would be appreciated regards

@WARdROBEPlaysWWII 2 года назад

I would be interested in short vids on how RF plays. Also, what elements of the game appeal to you?

@KenHanning57 2 года назад

First rapid fire reloaded play introduction is now uploaded!

@WARdROBEPlaysWWII 2 года назад

So, is it worth getting the new one if I already own the older version?

@KenHanning57 2 года назад

That's purely a judgement call I'd say. The old guide is absolutely brilliant, the new huide is more in the style of the "battlegames" approach and I think it has learned a lot more from historical research, I'm a fan of both, but for now I', sticking with the new one!
