So get commenting and enjoy the week!
I cannot play the video. There is a blank spot instead of the video.
same here 🙁
Won’t play here but plays fine on Youtube.
that is one hellish template!
It sure as hell is a template and a half. Just a quick correction for Alex on the ranging in bit. As these gunships let loose with rockets the ranging in rule fromt he main rulebook comes in here. So basically throw three dice all at once and only one of them has to coe up with the coorect number to range in and you range in right there and then. Unleash hell. Thats why that loach is such an amazing attachement.
Jup blank. Of to youtube
That’s insane.
Oops
The video’s not been embedded properly :/
Gremlin in the machine!
Loving that massive template
love all the helicopters will be able to play that apocolipse now game i always wanted.
I’ve said this before but it bears repeating. If Battlefront do a Vietnam equivalent of Open Fire, they’ll be absolutely flying off the shelves.
I know I’d buy one or two for myself and my son.
got to love that huge template
I would definitely buy a starter set for this. Not sure whether i like the look of the vietnamese or americans more though! both very flavourful.
I was wondering when the rockets would come blazing in, didn’t have long to wait……
Warren should have played ‘Wagners Ride of the Valkiers’ for his heavy hog attack, like Col Killgore in Apocalypse Now…
Pizza Box of DEATH!!! Love it!!
Not much of the game was covered in this one 🙁
From what Warren has talked about, BoW is trying out different formats, lengths, content, etc to see what works best for both BoW and the community at large.
Awesome template, that’s gonna hurt, I guess
Just when you think you’ve got the americans surrounded, ‘Pizza box of death’ happens. Make mine a Margharita, extra tomatoes please.
This video makes we want to field Air Cav lists even more!
PVA is probably more appropriate given the sticky situation they find themselves in under that pizza box of death.
oh yeah NAM week continues
Hey wait a minute. I though the video with Dave and Warren picking out their armies was supposed to be posted today? Where’s that? I demand more Dave!
Aaaaaand in the time it took me to post that comment the vid goes up. Well, ask and you shall receive and all that. Thanks guys.
i think having 3 sets of 2 of the the rocket heli flying around the table putting 6 giant templates down may be over the top but why wouldn’t you!
“that smell, that gasoline smell, the whole mountain. It smells like Victory!”
