Flames of War Battle Report - Bargration Germans vs. Soviets! 

Speaking of Brutal, the IS-2's gun makes infantry and gun teams reroll successful saves against it. Could've made a difference that turn Jon almost got those 88s. Edit: Another important thing about Begleits/Tankodesantniki - Infantry can always ride on tanks, it's a basic rule that's often missed. The unit/command card upgrades just makes them do it better than if a regular rifle platoon decides to hitch a ride. Keep up the good work, you guys rock!

It was really fun to watch, the elephants were the best part.

Thanks for the BR guys! Good to see Jake with some good dice for a change!

Great report, thanks a lot! Merry Christmas!

as a younger aspiring historical wargamer it is refreshing to see someone playing who isn't over 30.

Nice report, lovely table!

Great report 👍 The table looks great, the units are well-painted, a treat for the eyes :) The German Bagration book sounds pretty cool, new units to try out :)

I noticed that as Jake was mentioning that the Elephants were "unkillable" that you aimed the camera at the Sturmoviks, Jon. Trying to say something there? Maybe some foreshadowing? : )

Great stuff

Great br guys! I wish my table looked as good as yours!

Love the assault battalion! I'm actually building one right now. Cool to see how they work.

O for awersom guys..... Keep the games goin...

Great Christmas report guys! Very happy to see Bagration forces and scenario. Really nice! And although the regular mistakes were done, it didn’t really matter to the general result. Commander can only jump to core formation units and not support, then 3 + last stand for Russians in general, and then the Brutal reroll on the IS-2’s. But thank you very much for the content, very nice videos! Great Job!

Looks like that smoke card is almost an auto include.

Merry Christmas

Fun to watch, as always. Just a question: did jake use 2 dice for shooting with a StuH42? dont they have only 1 dice with the main gun?

Great report - feel like this was some really strong German dice rolling plus just about a perfect scenario for the list, no reserves, plus being lengthwise on a table is the ultimate situation for Elephant/Stug combo. Personally would love to see this German list rematch mission against Jon's choice of D-Day Americans! Is it just Soviets, or is this German list/table/mission combo too strong? Also love the idea at the end of having Jake take attacker role and use Stug Begleit as intended!

Great batrep. I'd put the Elephants in the woods so they are less vulnerable to Sturms, and smoke for the Russians so they can get off a good charge to try and get those 88s before they get the JS1s. Great paint jobs on the armies too.

Each shot has roughly 2.77% chance to damage the plane. Mathematically you need 37 shots to average 1 plane kill. 2+ saves ruins games IMO because it wrecks distribution curves. It takes a reasonably hard task (4+ followed by 5+, 16.6% chance) and turns it into a statistical anomaly

Damn... You guys awesome... Good games.

39:30 shouldn`t you reroll that save throw due to IS-2 gun being brutal?

Wow! I lived long enough to see Jake roll well! Take those dice out for one wild party!! Tough set up for the Soviets! John that is the worst dice rolls ever?

at 21:06 why are you rolling firepower tests? they lose shield when moving at dash speed. and they moved with road dash.

What did you use for the improvised foliage on the Stugs? It looks great.

Wish I had the money to get into this must cost a fortune and allot of time painting

question about flames of war how do you build early war french when i cant find a book for them

I have a question, where did you acquire the hills you use in your desert battles? i have searched in vane for months to find them. Regards John

I'd like to see you run jagpanzer4/70, please.

at 24:31 for all you who do not play wargames this is mandatory. wargaming commandment rule 3.

I was under the impression that if part of the stand/tank was visible outside of the forest it does not get concealment in version 4.

It's a cool game y'all played.when is the video on the jagdtiger??? That's the first armor I ever bought. J

What green did you use for your Russian tanks thanks

What are you using for those wheat fields?

Hey! I have a question about the Radio Operator unit. Online and the rule book haven’t helped at all and I like how it looks (Hit the Beach set) and I can’t find out if it does anything, which would make taking a Panzerfaust instead just a better option right? Great Battle report as always!

how did u get the book so erly ?

smoke is a requirement for Soviet attacks. the elephant and 88s would only have 1 turn before being overwhelmed ( unless deployed further back). Soviets need to dash like crazy to punch through the German lines; losses be damned

Looks like about a 5.2% chance he killed one single IS2 from that shooting; killing both being immeasurably small chance, as far as dice wargaming goes.

Elephant's had no anti infantry weaponry so they were easy peer for infantry assault Also next time attack on a narrow front in depth result will be a lot different

I make some super nice hills and would like to get you some, hit me up.

Oh Jake... AA gives you a chance to shoot down planes, no AA gives you no chance. So does that new book have Hetzers?

Have you moved house?
