Three years later, I never did get around to building my Winter Soviet army. With Third Edition now out, but Armies of the Soviet Union probably a year or two away, if I should get around to them before then I plan to build a small number of them as a Tank Riders platoon for Chain of Command. Then I can kit out some support options - a Sniper team, Anti-Tank teams, and Scouts. But that will only use about half the box. And honestly, I'll be surprised if I get around to it by that time anyway (US Airborne is next on the painting desk once my Panzergrenadiers army is ready for the table).

I wish you would put other pics and examples

For Christmas, in honor of the first of Patton's tanks to relieve the Paratroopers at Bastogne during the Bulge, how about the Top 10 American Vehicles for Bolt Action?

The subtitles are going insane

I was not prepared for how tiny the L3s are. They look like Hot Wheels on the table.

When the world needed him most, he vanished

Could be useful as a screening unit? The enemy will spend activations firing at a small self-healing non-combat unit or take a -1 cover mod to shoot the infantry blob behind them. It’s ablative wounds free real estate!

The US marines definitely didn't think the IJA/IJN were an inferior fighting force, that's for sure.

I am new to BA but could it be that it's not a good idea to pair LMG with SMG in a rifle squad? If I want to stay back and shoot I build a small LMG squad without SMG. If I want to go toe to toe, there's no need for an LMG, just lots of rifles and SMG? Can somebody comment on this please? I think this video is not necessarily good build advice.

As a new player looking into starting 3rd edition I find your videos brilliant and helpful. Will you redo them for 3rd edition? Thanks! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Any chance you’ll redo these for V3?

Any chance of an update for version 3? 😂

Thank yo uso much for this!

Hey! please come back for third edition, your videos about list building and unit guides where great

For people in 2024 you can get the gentleman’s war pack which has 48 infantry, 2 vehicles and is only £70

I'd like to see these videos redone with the new platoon rules 🤔🥳🤪

I love the British Covenanter, not on the list but hey ho

I do like the Sdkfz 251/8 by looks

Will be interesting to see how these units fare in 3rd edition. Pretty excited for the changes.

Seppies - B1 droids are a PAIN to assemble.

A simpler dice roll for indirects on buildings: count the floors, roll a die, number show is the floor, reroll numbers too high. Or make it d2 or d3 if thst many floors

Hey, Hollywood Wargaming. I've bought a box of rangers and noticed they have several options including a late war ranger reinforced platoon allowing them to have bazookas in their special weapon squads. How should i kit out my rangers? They can take light mortars and AT rifles aswell.

I hate melee in bolt action

Can I use Tamia 1-35 models I have a Tamia panzer IV and it looks to scale Also can I use 1-35 infantry

This game is basically Warhammer 40k played with .303 Lee Enfields.

miss you hollywood ❤️ hope you’re taking care of yourself

One major mistake here is the fact that HE does get negative to hit values when the unit is a small team or down! Very important

Thanks!

Wonder if 3rd will fix this

My grandfather was a captain in the Alpini. When Mussolini came into power he joined the partisans and would spend the rest of the war fighting behind enemy lines conducting special operations and espionage. He ignited my interest in WWII. Even though he had witnessed far too many atrocities he often spoke of his love for the Alpini and he ran a local Alpini veterans group here in Australia. He passed many years ago but I still miss him everyday. He was my hero.

"Hungaria"😂

Cool vid.

I miss your Star Wars: Legion reviews. I would love to see your input on the newer units, or updates on your opinion on units you've reviewed already. Just a suggestion, I'll watch either way!

I'm a new player. Can you tell me if there's any reason to take Veteran on this vehicle please? And what the pros and cons of that are? Thank you.

Schreck is love schreck is life.

So I completely agree in regards to the resistance. They could MAYBE fit into either Armada or X-wing as we see a lot more of their ships than their ground forces but yeah there just isn't enough there to base a Legion army off of. Now I think AMG could side step that issue by doing the New Republic as a counter part to the First Order but the Resistance is just a dud on this one. Now I do disagree when it comes to the First Order. For Corp they have FO Strom Troopers, FO Jet Troopers, and I could definitely see FO Executioners (the guys with the force/electro pikes). I could see the stun baton and Flame throwers being heavy weapons options but I think the executioners with their big two handed melee weapons are a bit out side the realm of what a heavy weapons option is. For Special forces you have Sith Troopers (and yes they absolutely do deserve to be Special forces and not just Corp. Sith Troopers are actually clones and an extension of the Kaminoan cloning project after Palpatine took all of the Kaminoan cloning research following the ban on cloning technology in the early days of the Empire. Sith Troopers are basically the most advanced clones ever produced rivaling members of the bad batch with even an even greater personality suppression than post Order 66 standard clones. Oh and they have Slower aging rather than the faster aging of the original clones so they are still in peak fighting condition well past the time an original clone created at the same time would have died of old age.), The Praetorian Guard, FO Death Troopers, and Knights of Ren. Yes, The knights of Ren are force sensitive but they are not trained as either Jedi or Sith which is why they don't have lightsabers but they do have some limited force abilities. They originated even before the Empire was defeated when they were part of the Crimson Dawn which also happens to be part of the Shadow Collective under Maul so bonus points that they can fit into that army as well. They could also easily work the same way the Bad batch or Inferno Squad does. For Support you could easily do those Track Speeders, a FO E-web team, possibly even full Flame Trooper support squad that just has 3 Flame Throwers. Heavies could be an FO AT-ST, and I think it'd be real neat if they took the Track Speeder idea and kinda turned it into a tank. Like take 2 of those track speeders strap them side by side and then extend out the back in the center to give it layout similar to an AAT may not be cannon but I think it would fit in just fine. Then for Operatives and Commanders you of course have Huck, Kylo, Snoke, Captian Phasma, a Generic Officer, Palpatine, BB-9E, and Captain Pyre (Resistance Anime). All Together I think there is enough First Order units to fill out a roaster even if it just barely ekes over that line.

The gun shield does help you against snipers as it affects thier wound roll not their hit roll.

I have been toying round with the idea of a German list with a senior officer. Would you mind sharing the list that you mentioned in the video which you had success with?

I wish you'd do more videos! 😀 I love my light amphibious tank and su-ki amphibious truck

Really great sculpts. I have a box and love them.

Bbq s are absurd considering their point cost. At the very least the should have to take a morale check when they are fired upon when they ate outside of their own ...firing range

What happens if the heavy mortar loses crew can it still fire?

I personally like using them. Ive been using them more to flank and help provide suppression and harass. Using the clasic L shape ambush, pincer movement or to keep them away from certain areas that i dont want the enemy troops to go.
