Tabletop CP: Bolt Action Battle Report- Desert Supply Drop 

Enjoyed watching as I just picked up an Italian Starter army. Italians started with a lot of armor but it is tough when outgunned.........

Very interesting, I like the way you guys present the game, easy to understand and follow.

Listened whilst painting my own desert Commonwealth! Very inspiring. Great report and WHAT A GAME!!

Great video, loved the Western Desert rules and the Italians vs. 8th Army.

Great game! That artillery barrage really was the tipping point. Up until then the Italians seemed to have the momentum.

Man those Matilda's are impressively impregnable.

Always love thematic rules. Really adds to a game.

what a beautiful table and well played game😃

Another good one. Very entertaining

Great scenario and well painted armies. Quick rules comment: gun crews down to one, or two, crew, do not get the small team modifier that infantry get. The rationale is that they will stick close to the gun, thus remaining well observed targets.

Just a rules thing, at 1:00:20 Because your armoured car is open topped it can be pinned via small arms fire. Page107. Much love and keep up the great work .

That was fun. Love throwing in special rules, changes the game plans. Seems like the 8th had a dozen more die.

This game was awesome and I love the setup 😍 great stuff! I'm new to the channel so I'm glad I found it. Subscribed 😉

Someone in that artillery battery is getting a promotion!

I got my battle report for North Africa done I’m always having trouble with the tank battles in Bolt action.

35:45 he rolled a 5 and a 6 to damage the British armored car. The 5 would have been a glance, not a pen.

Good game. Note a gunshield (eg on 25 Ib'er) gives a +1 to toughness vs small arms fire.

Travis, You need to get some 1/50 scale Italian Jeeps. I got one from a seller on e-bay

My fav channel...... Kiwis?

Your 2nd FT attack was a hit on a 2, as you didn't move, no pins, & was point blank range.

I'm probably a little late to weigh in on the short rules sentiment right at the end of the game, but anyway: I think the rules that you have to roll a dice and have to roll above the turn number to run the whole 12" could be used to represent something else then desert heat. You could use it to represent general exhaustion, your troops are deployed for an extended amount of time and they become more tired every turn. Or worsening weather conditions, like an upcoming storm or something like that. Plus it could get quite hot in other theatres as well; a hot summer day in Italy, France or Russia can get pretty exhausting, too (I mean, I'm not really an outdoor-guy, but whether you are in a 38°C degree heat or 50°C heat, it wears on you anyway? (100°F or 120°F for my american friends) From a gaming perspective, it does make missions like the supply grab more interesting because you can't sit back and wait for the very last moment to strike. You guys make really awesome videos, I'm starting with Bolt Action, had a few games so far and is really fun! I'm learning quite a bit watching your battle reports, thanks for that!

Amazing paint job on these. Where did you get the small base extension for your NCOs and Officers?

Fuck yeah.

Blood bath, swing one way then the other, that over the top barrage really was a game changer.

My prefered minis are Peter Pig

Hi. What tire sizes did you fit front and rear? Any modifications needed? I want to fit saw tooth tyres to my t100 but I’m stumped at the moment. Thanks

The Hills are sweet, do you have a video on how you do those? I'm assuming you use felt maps.

How about a 2,000 point game, but half must be allocated to tanks?not many extra order dice when you think about it,could be fun

What podcasts do you recommend for bolt action stuff. Many thanks

Hi There :) from where did you get the mission Pack,… i like it a lot :) Martin from Denmark :)

I am sure the armies are ready, but have you been preparing and practising with the dice? The source of the missions does not get a mention below!!! Sounds like you need to visit your local Italian restaurant with the rule book to get your Italian phrases sort out!! Did you use the gun shield rule for the 25pdr?

which company are the Matilda Tanks, please?

Your paint jobs are great, your tables always look great, you always do a great job explaining the flow of the game. Love the channel! That being said, 3D-printed stuff just doesn't look good.

1:12.22 Your flamethrower should have hit on a 2. I don't know, it seems like you fudged a bunch of things unporpose in order to be nicer to your friend Steve. Moving a ranged in mortar that could have killed two men and add pins is an obvious bad move. The extra pin or two would certainly have helped Steves squad fail the morale check from your flamethrower - the one that hit on a 2. Also, the 1" template was covering three men, they were down so that would have hit two, not 1 as Steve said.

I thought artillery didnt get the benefits of small team?

Hi Travis, as much as I like you, your crew and the channel. This one is just bad, you had 1260 points against 1060 points, and on top the better AFV, no softskin vehicles. The Italians are srewed up all over the place, what sort of honourable victory is this?
