Morning all! ??
Morning
Good night 😉
?night, night
Jaysus Andy you’re up early, getting BoW/Otter withdrawal. Not get enough last weekend 😉 good morning:?
Hi mate, I was woken up early this morning by my Sal doing her version of hitler’s buzz saw, so thought I’d see what Jim got up to on the weekender. I see Warren’s got Gerry in to go over the battle of Biffin’s bridge in the XLBS, that could be interesting.
Be afraid………….be VERY afraid!
Oh god noooo………
Okay, woken up fully now and put a good dent in unpacking and straightening up the house.
Thanks, @brucelea – as far as what “Jim is getting up to” on the weekender, one thing that seems to have gotten dropped in the edit is our brief chat on the new Czech and Polish units on the Team Yankee. The link is still in the episode text, so you can still check it out! I remember how your Warsaw Pact forces were coming along. 😀
Another week of amazing prizes!
Anyone else having problems with very low audio?
Morning mate, seems fine for me (I even had to turn it down this morning lol)
It got better when I reloaded it
I was a little bit worried that I’d been hacked and people were stealing my loudness
i had a bug with the audio: it wasn’t in sinc with the lips and kind of made for a hilarious watch!
It’s the Weekend!?!
A weekend to dust down the Dining room table and prepare for a day of proper Boardgames with some proper gamers! But first… The Weekender!
Happy weekend all! Finally made it home okay. Did NOT make it to the bedroom, though, sat down on the couch for a second and woke up six hours later. Now to bed for a second “night’s sleep” of catch-up. Happy Weekend to all!
Happy weekend mate, glad you guys made it back safe and sound!
Glad to hear you and Jen got back safe. Hope you found room for all your new shiny?!
Nice
111 never underestimate the healing seductive powers of sofa!!! Glad you guys made it home safe 😀
Ah, the old couch time machine trap. Chalk up another victim 🙂
Glad you got back okay buddy.
Thanks, @warzan – @brucelea – @irishsteve . Yes, we squeezed all the new shiny into the luggage (as well as the minis and gear we shipped ahead of us for the Boot Camp) … wasn’t easy, but we made it. Everything made it back okay, a LITTLE damage to fix, but nothing irreparable today or tomorrow.
Thanks, @noyjatat – I hope you’re feeling better! 😀
I need those Steins.
Great show again
It was Elba Napoleon was stuck on, he was born on Corsica
Thanks very much, @rasmus – On camera, I knew of course Corsica wasn’t the island where Napoleon was imprisoned (where he was born, in fact, as others on this thread have mentioned). But I ALWAYS get Elba and St. Helena islands mixed up (temporary exile 1814-1815, and permanent exile 1815 forward). So I didn’t want to drop a name and risk being wrong on camera.
@oriskany I understand that 100%
😀
Me too!@oriskany
In the past, @bobcockayne, whenever I meant to say Elba, I say St. Helena, and vice-versa. Just one of those things historically I’ve never been able to get right in a conversation. So I decided to punt.
I sort of punted with those Polish paratroopers (“I don’t want to speak for him, I don’t know what he was going for, but if I saw those on a table and had to guess…”) But oh well.
The Polish paras had a blue/grey beret . Apart from the RAF only the Army Airforce had blue berets. Unless there Free French or something which I
don’t know about.
That’s who I was thinking of @torros, they’d fit really well in an Arnhem campaign.
@brucelea I think @yoshi is from Poland so it would make sense
Thanks very much, @torros and @brucelea. Good call. These get “surprised” on me on camera, I didn’t get a chance to see them beforehand. I could definitely tell they were British-equipped paratroopers (weapons, equipment, uniforms, helmets), but I’ll fully admit the color of the berets threw me for a little loop. British you usually see with red. So I saw these and thought maybe they were from another division, etc.?
But I didn’t think of Polish paras, i.e., Sosabowski’s brigade at Arnhem. Great call, and thanks for the save!
We had the luxury of thinking time and the internet to double check
@oriskany, I only sussed poles as I’d watch ‘Bridge to far’ again day before.
Yeah, what can I say? I had a running order of the show ahead of time, but I was supposed to duck out of the show before Community Spotlight. So I didn’t take a look at these ahead of time. I saw them,. I saw the British helmets, British Sten Guns, British Enfields, British Tunics, British camouflage for British late war Paras … Id didn’t even technically know if those were WW2 minis (were they Dust / Konflikt 47, whatever?) Ben has them as “British” in the intro. And let’s not f*** about, they are British “Army.” Polish paratroopers in… Read more »
I was going to say the same thing. Since the Polish para used British equipment. They had the bluish berets.
Great show and a nice surprise appearance by the mighty @oriskany. Thanks for the shout-out and plug. @warzan Elba was the Island Napoleon escaped from, Corsica was the Island that Napoleon was born on so a very close guess. Napoleon then get’s sent to Saint Helena. In my Opinion if Napoleon won Waterloo he loses very quickly thereafter. He massacred the French Army in Russia and had burned through most of the French Conscripts. Everyone had mobilised against him (against him, not France, him personally) and had some pretty strong Veteran Forces to throw against him. Those are not British… Read more »
@elessar2590 good little bit of history there, thanks, now i just need to check the plumes on my napoleonic brits to make sure theyre the right ones
Stovepipe Shako’s with a Central Plume are pre-1812. Centre Companies are White over Red, Grenadiers are White and Light are Green.
Belgic Shako’s came in during 1812 but took a while to phase in. If you’re going for British in Spain either is fine.
Thanks, @elessar2590 and @civilcourage – (I really should have mentioned your project as well).

Oriskany you were saying that you would love to see a full scale Waterloo miniature battle well next year at the university of Glasgow they are staging a wargame in 28mm covering the battle of Waterloo, they are trying to set a world record of 20,000 minis on the table and all regiments represented. This is the website with more info http://www.waterlooreplayed.com i wonder if Warren would also be interested.
Also, thanks for the tip on Polish paratroopers. Like I was saying above – These get “surprised” on me on camera, I didn’t get a chance to see them beforehand. I could definitely tell they were British-equipped paratroopers (weapons, equipment, uniforms, helmets), but I’ll fully admit the color of the berets threw me for a little loop. British you usually see with red. So I saw these and thought maybe they were from another division, etc.?
But I didn’t think of Polish paras, i.e., Sosabowski’s brigade at Arnhem. Great call, and thanks for the save!
Morning love those neopolionics hi to Warren Justin and james
Hello, @jackie! Glad to see you guys made it home safe! Hopefully your armies did as well! 😀
I have a shrinkwrapped copy of Space Hulk that I’ve been wondering what to do with….thinking caps on!
Nice show as always!
Warhounds – never have enough Warhounds
Nice to see James without the oblong around him.
Morning!
Quavers to all the Bootcamp attendees
Will have to dig out my OLD copy of Space Hulk and see what I can do for the project thread…….wait was going to do a bolt action one and a small paint project tutorial…….so many projects so little time…..John I feel your pain!
Quavers to you to Sir! ?
Oh no! More Quavers! It just won’t die … 🙂
Release the Beer Hounds of War!
What is so exciting about an Empty Beer Stein??? And why would I need a Warhound…???
empty steins demand filling and its not one warhound… its 2!!!!!! 😉
Ok you got me with the Stein, and now I am sold 2 Warhounds my hobby world would be so complete ?
Lol
Never let Warren fill your Stein!
He returns with a lot of head looking like he’s done a marathon, all sweaty and red faced 😀
yes yes warhounds – super amazing giveaways as always 🙂 luv beastofwar
Warhounds Yay 🙂
Tell people what i’m thinking… last time I did that 3 priest an a shrink turned up at my door
Mornigs all, and happy saturday.
Great weekender as always 🙂 That beer stein is just awesome! What a prize. And yay for @oriskany on screen. Always so many cool historical tidbits and information.
Thanks very much, @aurorainbag! 😀
id love to be able to start titanicus with some warhounds
How does tactics compare to the app for IOS? I enjoyed that but not enuf to buy it again on a different system…
Want the Stien…
morning folks,
you missed out the Wraithguard in that Wake the Dead box, the speeech murhines will find then tricky to deal with never mind the falcon 😉
@oriskany Black Powder is played on brigade level, so the foot print of the stands is representative of the unit rather than figures, you can get relatively large games although not as large as you prefer
take it easy, quavers on standby
And good quaver day to you kind Sir, I hope you played nicely and I look forward to the ‘morrow’s XLBS and your regaling us of the fierce battle of Biffin’s Bridge! A difficult battle to negotiate, as whichever way you went you were in a hole. I’m looking forward to it immensely ?
Did you not soften up the target area before going in?. Would have made your big push a lot easier?
?
??
the Bridge battle will have to wait for a week, we got derailed a little this week. Don’t worry it shall be covered in glorious detail
Gentlemen Gentlemen @brucelea @buggeroff @avernos @torros you forget, the ladies are going to be the best ones to give you a detailed battle report on the efficacy of any engagements on Biffin’s Bridge. Any descriptions of heroics must be supported by testimonials 🙂
???
????????????
That’s my girl … 🙂
Thanks for the tip on Black Powder @avernos – for some reason I was imagining WYSIWYG skirmish Napoleonics – I was probably getting it confused with games like Sharpe’s Practice / Muskets & Tomahawks, etc. And the “Level 2” Command Tactical type of game you’re talking about is EXACTLY my preferred game. Bigger than WYSIWYG 1:1 tactical (Level 1) and smaller than true operational campaign wargaming (Level 3). Damn, now I’m going to have to look more into the Black Powder system … 😀 For American Revolution we’ve been using (very successfully) a slightly tweaked variant of TSR’s 1989 Battlesystem… Read more »
the nice thing about BP is that it gives suggested basing, but as long as both forces are using consistent basing throughout then whatever you have will work.
Variable scaling? Nice.
