Thank you glad you enjoyed it 👍

Thank you and in the future I plan to do an Arnhem themed game. Back in the 90’s along with some wargaming mates we put on a large 20mm Arnhem game using ‘Rapid Fire’ rules and unit organisation at a wargaming show in Leeds including a 6’ bridge 👍 Sadly all gone now 😢

Thank you very much its appreciated, just wish I didn’t make so many rules mistakes 😂

Don’t be confused Andy, it’s probably just another mistake I made with the rules. When videoing battle reports I’m afraid my concentration is on ‘lights camera action’ stuff and sometimes, make that a lot of times, I forget some of the rules 😂 I make the videos for fun and to highlight terrain and figures, hopefully giving others some ideas etc.

Cheers Michael glad you liked it and thank you 👍

Thanks Thomas glad you enjoyed it 👍

Im quite new at this game and only played once noticed some of those things but wasnt really sure about it. Whatabout 50:15 armoured car firing at howitzer, i though you cant fire mmg coaxial and main gun both? Thats how we played our first game

Thank you its appreciated

Thank you and glad you liked it 👍

Awesome thank you 👍

Denis thank you very much and I’m fully aware it was the 21st Panzer that conducted the real attacks in the area of Ranville and surrounding areas, but what I do with Bolt Action Batrep video’s is to change the names, numbers and locations involved to something similar or a play on words, as I’m not doing an accurate recreation of a specific encounter. If I was, I would not use the Bolt Action order of battle lists but a scaled version of actual orbats, which can be found using the Rapid Fire rules supplement books. That’s why the German force was commanded by ‘Hans Von Gabby’ and not Von Luck and you are correct the 1st Air Landing battalion is made up as was its commanding officer Teak-Casket and not the real colonel Pine-coffin of 7 para 👍 I don’t have any Lorraine schlepper/Marder 1 models, hence the 234 and 250 etc. If you look at some of my other videos the 101st Schwere Abteilung became the 10th and the 7th battalion of the Duke of wellington regiment became the Duke of Gipton regiment when simulating actions around Fontenay and Rauray in late June to name but a few. If I did accurate battle reconstructions then of course I’d use historical units, but its tongue in cheek for Bolt Action. Rest assured I’m an avid Normandy enthusiast and have visited it many times over the years, twice last year alone and going again in April this year and my wife gets on very well with Arlette Gondree as well drinking too much beer whilst I’m on coffee at Cafe Gondree 😂😂

Thank you very much indeed thats great to read 👍

Thank you WarHogz its appreciated 👍

Cheers David thank you ver much indeed 👍👍

Cheers john and you’re right it is +2 that was my mistake with my V2 head still on 😂👍

Cheers Mazer_Duck its appreciated, just wish I had more time to do more videos 👍

Nice one and thank you very much 👍

Cheers Darren its very much appreciated

Thank you and as for the terrain it's all scratch built. if your on Facebook go on the Bolt action terrain makers page as well as the main Bolt Action page and search for me 'Daz Van Der Young' and I've done a few 'how to make' posts on buildings, roads, trees and bocage and the like 👍

Thank you very much Frank its appreciated.

Cheers Gary and defo having Gabby playing the germans made the difference. Looking at using another 'mic' so in future Gabby can explain what he's doing as he's moving figures/vehicles and the audio will be captured etc. 👍

Cheers Daniel if your on Facebook go on the Bolt action terrain makers page and search for me 'Daz Van Der Young' and I've done a few 'how to make' posts on buildings, roads, trees and bocage and the like 👍

@@dazvanderyoung1911 brilliant, ill give them a look

Thank you its greatly appreciated

Cheers Martin and I think you might know 'Major Hans Von Gabby' 😉 I'm still looking at doing a 28mm Arnhem game 😳 and still have a photo of the 20mm stuff we did all those years ago at the Leeds show in the 90's.

Thank you and if your on Facebook, go on the Bolt Action Terrain makers page and search for me as Daz Van Der Young and I've put a few posts on with pictures how I make buildings and other stuff etc.

Thank you its appreciated

Thank you Frazer and I love the carry on films and I'd forgotten he played that character and went for a tongue in cheek name for the chateau. Might trawl some of the other carry on films for suitable names for my commanding officers etc. 👍

Bob I always try and use fictional names for commanders and units with a 'nod' to the real ones and simply couldn't resist this and having read a few books on the airborne actions in Normandy it seems he had a sense of humour and was well liked by his men so I think he'd smile at it, then b*****k me for it afterwards 😂

@@dazvanderyoung1911 😂I get it and agree. I thought it was very good and shows you know your history. In January 2024 I started Bolt Action with my son and "kid" brother (though we're both retired and far from being kids). I really enjoy watching your video battle reports as they are very professionally done, and fast-paced with commentary that adds to the enjoyment of watching. Your terrain and buildings are inspiring. I see why they are a lot of work - so "Bravo Zulu" and carry on. My son and I were laughing at some silly house rules like a random event where your men got a brew-on that removes all pin markers. 🤔 Maybe not silly. Cheers Daz

Cheers its appreciated

Thanks James its appreciated

Wow thank you very much Gary and a happy new year to you. Just wish I had more time to apply myself more to the video/KZbin side of things, but modelling and building are still what I enjoy the most. Thanks again its very much appreciated.

Most of them are Woodland scenic frames which I twist and shape then add rubberised horsehair and flock. I mount them on large metal washers to give the weight and stability. I also make trees from collected twigs whilst out walking and cut to size and shape, hot glue to metal washers then apply horsehair and flock etc.

Nice one glad you liked it 👍

No they are rubber backed so have a bit of weight to them and don't warp. If you go on Facebook and the Bolt Action terain makers page and search for me 'Daz Van Der Young' I've posted quite a few how to guides, one of which was on my carpet road system.

Thank you Joseph and its a metal Warlord figure, got it a couple of years ago and I'm pretty sure they still do it.

Thank you Frazer glad you liked it and I’m very sorry for the late reply 👍

Thank you Michael its very much appreciated and sorry for the late response 👍

I make my roads out of strips of carpet that are cut, painted and flocked at the edges.

Ok so the carpet is stripped off and you use just the base like material ?

@@astrocat1128 No because the carpet squares are hard wearing office type ones and are a very small weave, I paint and dry brush the actual carpet. If your on Facebook go onto the Bolt action terrain makers and search for me there as Daz Van Der Young and I've put a few posts on about making terrain ad carpets roads is one them which explains it better etc.

Thank you very much and sorry for the late reply 👍

Thank you its very much appreciated and my die rolling is appalling everytime 😂

Thank you Kasper and I do have some Perry’s US infantry, but I am working on some US Airborne that I hope to use in a Batrep video after V3 comes out 👍 My long term project is a new unit of British infantry depicting Scottish infantry using 8th Army figures and converting them into wearing kilts etc. Hope to have that done by the end of the year.

Thank you Stephen and I do have CoC rules as it goes and did play a couple of solo encounters to get used to the rules, but was put off with the large amount of die rolling. I also used to play Rapid Fire the original version (when I had 20mm stuff back in the 90’s and have the new updated rules that again I’ve had a ‘dabble’ with in 28mm, but I just like the simplicity of BA and the order die system that was first used back in the 80’s by Bruce Taylor with his order ‘chits’ in a bowl modern rules 👍
