Hmm. The video is showing as unavailable for me.
Doesn’t appear to be on YouTube either.
Weekender Withdrawal is a serious medical condition.
Me to
Happy Weekend!
And me
Me three…. and it’s Fabled Realms … bugger …. get well soon video ….please
It’s the weekend!
I do love my Wyrd Malifaux minis. Closest I’ve come to a chain paint is a group of three. But even then there’s something unique to paint on each!
Although the new bases look gorgeous and I’d consider them for display purposes, they can break the illusion on the table top, clashing against thematic terrain. They’re the complete opposite of a transparent base.
Same here!
Ditto-wise
It actually reads “This video is Private”
Well now this blows…………. no video lads.
Ah well, I don’t have time to watch it till later anyway. At least I know I’ve got Fabled Realms info to look forward too 🙂
I need my weekender breakfast… nooooow… ;_;
You tease us with such good stuff.
Fixed now
Youtube snafu!

Not sure how suitable or disrespectful people might think but one of the ladies should be named Nancy in memory of Nancy Wake
The other should be Noor one if the other most famous SoE agents along with Nancy
Good choice in Nancy Wake, mate …. Incredibly brave woman. i have read both her autobiography and biography and heroic doesn’t cover it.
Happy Saturday guys.
Agent Carter is British— well A very upper-class English to be exact. She is just assigned to American intelligence
The Yamamoto was obsolete the day it was finished
I am interested how your going to cover in the rules the fact that the Allies had broken the Japanese naval codes
On an operational level there isn’t much to cover. The intelligence wasn’t as specific on the exact locations of the fleets. So if your playing at the operational level like @oriskany ‘s game, the intelligence coup has already happened, the ambush is in place and it is now up to the commanders to locate and attack the enemy fleet. The fact that the US fleet was at the position it was was due to the intel and the broken japanese codes. But since the Japanese observed strict radio silence (Yamamoto didn’t even inform Nagumo of some later intelligence he received… Read more »
Just a quick note, Yamato = the battleship, followed by Musashi, Shinano (converted into an aircraft carrier during construction, and a fourth battleship in class never completed). Yamamoto = Isoruku Yamamoto, commander of the Combined Fleet, Imperial Japanese Navy. On the American intelligence / code breaking edge, I concur with @ecclesiastes – who made this series possible with his epic miniatures and tactical wargaming system, ( http://www.naval-war.com ). However, the operational game goes give the Americans an edge in finding the Japanese fleet based on an overall firmer picture American Intelligence had regarding Japanese dispositions (via factors like JN-25, the… Read more »
So hyped for The Legends of Fabled Realms. The world looks amazing, this minis look amazing, my wallet awaits the kick starter. Also BoW, can’t wait to see this ” can ” full of content you guys have lined up.
happy Weekend and congrats to winers well done ! superb rewards !
Weekender time!
great show!
the fabled realms stuff sounds great, can’t wait to see how the game works. love the bolt action stuff. first thing that came to mind get the dads army box, some terrain, the wheel of doom thingy and reenact the dads army episode where they try to catch the panjandrum before it explodes.
Boardgame week huh? What about that “small” boardgame you guys played late last year… What was it called… OH! Kingdom Death? You know, the one where Chris went back there to record more episodes? When are those coming out? Or did you guys wipe on the next hunt and it’s too embarrassing to reveal the episode?
I’m poking fun at you guys now. But seriously… where is it? ಠ_ಠ
