One Page Rules Grimdark Future Battle Report (4000 pts) - TAO Coalition vs. High Elf Fleets 

I at one point was skeptical of grimdark future. That's changed. After playing a 1500 point game of 40k Alpha Legion Vs Iron Hands Primaris and firstborn. It took about three and a half hours, we where mentally drained from all those extra rules. 40k is too bloated right now. It feels like briefly at the start of 8th it was significantly better. Grimdark Future though we did the equivalent of a 800 point 40k game (GF points forgotten) took an hour and fifteen. My only issue was getting my head around the slightly different terms for units threw me off. But a simple copy paste and find replace should solve that. Only other issue is that it take a bit of care for what units have what, medics etc. Despite some minor gripes it's a system everyone with a like of wargames should try.

I'm so glad you brought these back.

I like these a lot more than most 40K battle reports. You two use the terrain and tactics to make a more interesting game than the other channels, who tend to be more charge each other and meet in the middle.

This feels so much like old 40k and the friendly games of my childhood. I can see this being a possibility for my 40 ish old guard models.....

Oh man that was a really fun match. Really cool to see a really shooty army with a good table for it. Really loved the volcanic jungle terrain and hope to see it again. Maybe a combined TAO/High Elf army versus an awakened swarm of Alien Hive who have been awaken by the previous battle or something.

Great battle report. Super close result, awesome. Only had a few matches using OPR rule sets so far, but all were close and nail biting to the end! Cheers!

Wonderfully done. Downloading grimdark very soon.

Watching your battle reports might have inspired me get allot of models for my own High Elves fleet army, Can't wait for the next battle report!

Cool bat rep. Love the paint job and the dices. I'm more and more interested by the OPR sets. As for the Tao captain, why not call him Sha'z'am ???

Liked for the WoT reference. Was not expecting it what-so-ever! Great batrep!

Love the jungle scatter and the board as well.

Woohoo! battle report! Love your paintjobs

i love these reports! one of these days i would like to see a 3 player game using this ruleset!!

Very intrested in playing this but the rules are a little odd. If I use imperial guard models do I use HPD or Feudal guard?

Best After effect ever!

you should call him commander long vision

I have watched your videos for a while and finally got sucked into GDF. I love the objective cards that you use over others that i have found. I tried the link but it seems not to work...at least for me. Is there an alternative way to get cards?

I got to try this system out.

What company is volcanic terrain from? Thank you.

Are those tokens made out of metal?

Call him Lord Fireblood.

37:34 Wyloch'rska The Red Mist

do you use house rules?

Commander Kuro'sawa, cuz samurai films!

His name should be D'akka lord

The hero Battle Suit Captain should be called 'p'str'phe. That was a lovely, good-natured game.

I like the simplicity of One Page Rules, without loosing tactical choices that are meaningful.

NOTE - Learned after filming that we applied the "Indirect" rule incorrectly. There were multiple instances where several TAO models should have been shooting those Indirect weapons at -1 because they moved. This probably affected the outcome of the game. Ah well.

Nice! Love the alternating activations, might have to check out this ruleset

So glad I found this game. I was hesitant to start buying miniatures until I found this ruleset. The game is much easier to understand and play consistently without having to constantly look up stuff. Streamlined I would call it. I mainly plan on playing this by myself and it's suited for solo play either with the AI system or my preferred way of just playing both sides. Also, my table is about half the size of a standard playable battle map, so I just halve all the distances for range and movement and it works out pretty well for small skirmishes.

Wyloch. At first I was very much pro GW Codex gaming and wasn't interested in 1PR. After dealing with the debacle of going through 8th and now 9th. I have started to move into GDF. And I have really liked what I see. I appreciate the BatRep and hope to see more.

I love OPR. I am so happy that your channel is dedicated with these battle reports. The rules are great and i love playing it with my son. Thank you for these and hope to see even more 👍

Love the lava planet table set up!

OPG is the way to go. Simple rules, straightforward, deep tactical combat. OPR is amazing! I have been looking at alot of gameplay, the rules and armies :) Going in on their Pateron as well for sure. Printer goes brrrr

One page rules are why I am planning on getting 40k stuff now. I just don't want a million books to play something or be forced to buy new books every few years.

Great video love it! And could you upload your cards again the link seems to be broken or something. Thanks for the great content

Alternating activations make this game waaaay more fun to watch than 40k. I've switched Kill Team for GF Firefight a while ago, and even though KT also has alternating activations, GFF as a whole feels waaaay more concise and easier to grasp. Sometimes I feel that KT is too badly written, almost every rule has tons of exceptions.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO TO SEE MORE!! you are making the best opr battle reports out there, would loooove to see you try out the other systems. Regiments or age of fantasy would be nice. Also how are you not sponsored by opr haha

Yay! I love your battle reports Thanks for introducing me to One Page Rules and the Grimdark/fantasy games

Some people have sports. I have Wyloch's Bat-Reps. Time to get the popcorn.

Let's hope they don't discover the Earth! We have lots of that new type of ore.

33:48 TACTICAL UNPINNING (Which is honestly something I love about OPR systems, deciding which order to activate units quickly becomes a crucial part of the strategy)

Fun to watch glad you are back ... Got to look up your lava video , Planning a game where it will be needed , glad we can all start gaming again.

The king of GDF has made his return!! I would like to suggest the name "Commander Wee'A'Boo" 😁

I was hoping Seabass would have produced a fancy new lockdown army of his own! Alas. Still, a triumphant gaming return. Glad to see you both remember how to roll dice! Welcome back!

Why no love for Age of Fantasy? You play D&D. I figured having AoF battle reports would be a no-brainer.

Your blast 6 against 2 models would only do two hits you can’t make more hits than the number of models in the target unit

Maybe its too harsh but how about if a unit is already pinned and fail another morale test the unit flees?

I loved the adobe after effect! 🤣

Love the terrain, love the narrative, love the armies, and love the way things played out here. Really great game!

(Spoiler Warning) I recommend you name the TAO commander either Commander Foresight or Commander Far-Seeing, in honor of his model's character in the other game (Commander Farsight is probably the coolest Tau out there and is actually a decent person compared to the rest of the Tau). Not to mention he "foresaw" exactly when he'd be needed on the table, and exactly how he needed to distribute his shots to take out his foes and clear the objective. :)

Your battle reports are excellent. No need for foul language or rude gestures, just fun. Nicely painted models, good table terrain. Now my go-to BR. Yes, stopped playing 40k in 6th edition. This game has resurrected my sci-if soul.

Game looks like it would benefit from simpler cover rules - "if obscured at all, get cover". Suddenly no checking and arguments.

the surge titan from the tau seems very strong. Its the MVP x5 of this battle. I dont know what it costs but if it is cheaper than 1000 points then its IMO OP.

The name of the Captain should be D'ka-- Dual Strike, but it also sounds like Dakka.

I would postulate that large battle suits/mecha that tower over the field do not have to roll for morale...yeah they are piloted but the idea of a mecha is a mobile fortress... i would say the same for a monolith or similar.

I'm always up for some OnePageRules - awesome rulesets

Anyone have access to the Objective Cards? Link doesn't work anymore. :(

As far as I've always argued, if you wipe out the opponent's whole force, you win.

My first email address was cbassatyahoo way back in 92. I wish i could reactive it

That fresh gamingtable setup… beautiful perfection… 🥲

What a lovely game of friendship

Cool, I like this set of rules. Good stuff.

I didn' try it, but after looking at some batrep, the game seems very lethal, most of the time, a unit shot another and one shot kill it, is it really the case ? Thanks

I mean - the HEF did pick a bunch of guardians

Hello From France^^ I love your table! Very nice Volcan! I dont understand your game but , yours armies are awasome ^^

Tao usually put jump jets just to keep the standing I think

SpaceMace 69 is looking really good!

Beautiful battle report

Ch’aad for Battle-suite Captin

love the reports, keep them coming

What game variant is this? Looks like a weird mashup of WH40K and Outward Realms.

Good stuff. I need to put some time aside to make some jungle scatter

Amen somebody.

Interesting battle report. The volcanic terrain is dramatically visual. Enjoyed this video.

We’ll played!

18:00 PEW PEW!

H E R E T U R N S

Do you have a editable file for your data sheet at 35:31? I am trying to create one like that for my army but it isn't coming out as nicely.

Name that unit: Ish'neb'ell'ok'teb IV, Esq.

Vehicles don't explode?

Dance the spears! Great reference.

Sha'sta K'ola

Awesome battlerep

What a great way to start my day! :D

Great game!

Great stuff friend 👏 👍

Great game!

Wow where'd you find the list builder that gives you such nice printoffs?

Lol, that was a surprisingly close one. A lot of back-and-forth destruction going on made for a very entertaining BR. Great video!

Hitting on 2+ with shooting seems too good to me.

I love your battle reports, this one was worth the wait!
