I agree with you on the miniatures thing. What bothers me the most is not only that professional paint jobs would have made the book even more visually appealing... it's that so much of the layout of the book is taken up by these photos. It looks like a great wargame (or a Great War game!) and I'll be picking it up when funds permit... but that could have really put the quality of the book Over The Top.

Great video. Just pondering whether to give Barons War a go. We play a fair bit of WOTR in 28mm using Hail Caesar (in the same way as 7th Son’s videos) but it leaves me a bit cold. Literally the only character in the game comes from how you paint the models and who they represent, otherwise it’s literally a dice rolling contest. Barons War appeals much more because of being a skirmish game, not rank and flank, and the amount of character you can get into it, not to mention the lower figure count. I’m on the fence about this book though. I’ll probably end up getting it (I’m waiting to see if any Black Friday deals will be announced) but I doubt I’ll use the Outlaws retinue at all, I’d rather have nobles or Crusades. The first campaign I doubt I’d use for the same reason, though I suppose you could easily just swap out the Outlaws for nobles or Muslim forces. The DIY campaign looks the most interesting but I’d rather there was an online version to plot hex moves etc so that you don’t have to effectively create your own quite large board game just to play it. I’m just concerned that it won’t justify the significant amount of effort and possibly expense that will be involved. If I do go for Barons War though I think I’ll definitely have to get a 3D printer for all the terrain needs. I’ve avoided it up until now but buying that much terrain will get costly!

I know this is two months after the video was posted, but what a rock solid video of solo gameplay this was. I’m just discovering Rogue Warriors and started exploring solo videos for it. This video has sold me on it. What a great narrative this game had. Your game was transformed in my mind to a full on action movie. I haven’t yet looked, but I hope you have more Rogue Warrior videos this one. It is clearly the best I’ve seen for the game. Champion level stuff.

Just getting past the line up at about 3:37m and imho i find the allied miniatures poses a bit strange, a sniper with fixed bayonet, what is the Bren gunner doing holding his gun like that, the one holding the bayonet....its positioning is off. The sentries look ace, great poses and really look the part. Great video !

excellent looking game, quick query around the saving rolls for shooing (not watched all the way through yet), shouldn't it be at the same time as the to hit rolls rather than waiting to see the result and then deciding if you want to add extra dice in?
