I know this is an old video but I decided to make an empire ogre army for the old world and decided to get some of these to accompany some other sculpts. So glad you showed the size difference. I only need a few full bodies (will use some top half's to convert mournfang) I may use the ogres as my musicians and paint them as little drummer boy ogres / young ogres for use as musicians

It was a much needed bringing together of the rules from ammendments, campaign and theatre books. 3 editions in 10 years is not too horrendous I think.

So, I have played it, but I don’t like seeing heavy artillery on the same table as my infantry platoon, beside heavy armour and mortars. It’s 40k dressed up in 1940s outfits. I appreciate some people do like it and that’s fair enough, good for them. I have played extensively in competitions but now prefer scenario based games. A bit like former smokers, firmer comp gamers hate points based armies and games that have a game length of 6 turns! As for the Warlord Games model it is GW writ large and you can see this every month in its domination of certain wargames mags. But, if that’s what you want, good for you as wargamers we’re all gluttons waiting to be fleeced by the next shiny thing. 😂😂😂😂

A really comprehensive review, very informative, thank you so much. It all sounds very Benign until you start looking at the new platoon builder element and realize you could be facing 8 artillery pieces and a couple of artillery observers, suddenly it becomes Artillary Action, slightly different to Bolt Action.

Well explained and some nice pictures. My friend and I played a lot of "Congo" and really liked the mechanism there. When it comes to the other two games...BA is okay...a bit too much Hollywood at times and a bit too random. All the mentioned things (Japanese with bamboo sticks) don't really happen in my playing group as we don't play any tournaments...non competative only. CoC is well liked by some in our region and it is definitely historical but it is too boring for me...maybe too much of a simulation. My concern for VfV might be that it is focused on late war atm and that the variation of possible activation cards might get a bit boring after some time (happened to us with Congo) and the restriction to rather small games.

This is the video I've been looking for! It does sound from this that it is a solidly designed game that sits in the "simple pickup game" space, which I've always felt is a gap in WW2 gaming, with BA being the "competitive & cinematic" one, and CoC being "is this perhaps a bit too realistic to actually be fun?" one - and both having a lengthy-ish learning curve too. I may well try and get the club to buy in on this on the back of this video ...
