Awesome series. I have been making my way through the playlist over the last few weeks.

This was a LOT of fun to watch! Victory teetered between both sides... but in the end, Lieutenant Fromage and his Parisian rabble won... while Petite d'Noble and his armed peasants slunk off back into the night! No doubt, the Sons Of The Revolution, will slaughter one of the cows... and eat well tonight. After all, they can always blame those Knaves, Louts, and Tillers Of Soil!!!!!

1 hour and 10 minutes! We are blessed with an abundance of wargame today. Thank you sir.

I agree! Alternating activations makes for a much more engaging game. One of the things I hate about GW games is that I can walk away from the table while my opponent runs his turn and he still might not be done when I get back. But I'd rather stand over the table and watch to what he is doing in real time while I'm trying to figure out my next step.

You are able to correct and rewind parts if it gets bits wrong. If you have your war rosters in a separate document, cut and paste onto chat, should speed things up.

All glory be to God!

I'm using paragraph AI for my games but it's not as smart as what you have

8:20 I don't think that's correct. There is nothing in the rules preventing you from shooting a unit that moved into contact. That is why the author says you should not charge cavalry into infantry that is not disrupted, because they will not be able to shoot you on contact and get a huge bonus for shooting cavalry. Otherwise charging heavy cavalry head on into infantry would be a winning move because of the melee bonus. Thats an elegant way to simulate stuff with fewer rules rather than more.

Recently found your channel and just finished up the playlist! Love your work. Any news on a season 2?

Amen brother, pray for me. It's a struggle everyday. God bless all

commenting as I go, the dwarves would be a nice dungeon faction

I love that there is a "no delves on Sundays" rule. God bless you all

So did you get any answers from Jim Webster as his replies here didn't address any of your comments.

I found the perfect channel, catholic homesteader playing aD&D love you guy

mate big hug from Brazil, you are so funny, I laughed so much, I am really enjoying your videos

I really enjoyed this, you have a lot of character lol

I'm late to comment on this video, but I am now just getting into Chainmail. Something I discovered is that part of the vagueness of ths document is that it has the Tony Bath rules for Peltast and Pila in the background. If you check thoserules for how they handle formation and all that, it clicks with what the folks publishing chainmail were doing.

We in the 70s at our group we read continued melee as immediate.

Excellent video!! Enjoy seeing the Song of game system in action. It's a great game overall! Thanks.

Most excellent as always. Thanks for the vids n the motivation. Be well n be safe. 😊🎄

Love seeing more of this game!

Really like the ideas in Drums and Shakos. I was fantasizing about running this game as a convention multiplayer game with each team having one player playing the line linfantry, second player running the light infantry, this playing the cavalry and two moderators playing as artillery teams.

Everything derived off of song of blades heroes is Rock solid. Have you thought about playing either deep wars or mutants and death Ray guns?

Good game. Love the song of rule sets

Man this hits hard. The philosophy about how things like Christmas being imbued into the game world is so simple but man you're right. The analogy about watching a Christmas show during the season vs any random other month. It's really good stuff man. I can't emphasize enough how helpful all of this is beyond the pure entertainment value of what I'm getting here. Im going to give some back as soon as I'm able. Thank you, you and people like you make this world a better place.

If you were doing some kind of campaign , say skeletons ,now they don’t hold territory you would assume , how would you incorporate that. I could only imagine them riding from tombs

Medieval rock paper scissors... I think I'll drop this into my campaign at some point....

Looking good boss.

amen GB

Love these imaginations

Looking forward to it.

Shuffling of various imperial military powers leads to rebels taking Damascus. Huh.

I'm surprised how such a simple form a mechanical point of view game gives something that even complex napoleonic games lack- arriving of reserves on the battlefield from every direction- most napoleonic rulesets I've seen each player advencecd foreward, which is OK if you are playing a brigade level games, but then you go for corps or army level games all hell should be let loose and the attacker units should be pouring left, right and center, like at Leipzig or Borodino. Also I like how consequential is the commitment of troops. Absolute Emperor had the whole Elan system to make generals not change orders to often. Here you just pinn guys when they shoot or get shot. That makes reserves even more important, because if you commit everything you have on the main push, the troops will not be albe to react when the enemy brings some reienforcements on the flank. Love the idea. I will need to buy some 3mm minis and try using this for historical battles. The only thing that may be a con for me is that the ruls feel a bit undercooked. Some things should be elaborated on more like interpenetration, some rules that are hinted on but never stated as written (like being able to shoot a charging enemy), I also feel it could use some more units like irregular cavalry, the distinction between heavy corps foot artillery, and lower caliber foot artillery companies on the division level. But those are things that I think should be easy to house-rule into the game.

Joy! A return to paper and dice 🎲

@16:52 1,1,2,6. Not 1,2,6,6. Hope this message helps your past self.

I have question regarding this rule: "47. A unit may shoot only ONCE during its turn. This means if a unit is charged by two attackers only one can be shot at. However, if both charging units are touching or closing to contact from the same aspect, they are considered 1 unit for target purposes.". In the rules movement has a longer distance than shooting, and shooting takes place after movement. But this paragraph suggests that you could shoot a unit charging you but there is no elebaration further on this. Anybody know how this should be interpreted?

Your point about changing circumstances gets even deeper when playing for victory points from drawing objectives each turn (if you like that game mode).

So somewhere in this world is a faction of religious fanatic elves who fight with two handed swords.

Awesome video. I may have to look into it. Thanks for the video.

Holy cow, playing KotBL as a faction/wargame thing sounds awesome.

Zweihander Elves are extra pissed off at all times, Pointy eared menace for sure.

We're going need more dwarves.

"Why don't we hate giant weasels together?"

I only use one dead end when generating dungeons.

“Went to bumville and everyone knew you” 😭😭

This is quite a hard rule book to get your head around. For instance how dothe tabs work at the back of the book. I've watched your videos battle of bumsvile 1 and 2 and a video from someone else and the tabs arnt being used so I'm confused. The explanation in the book is quite weak. Great vid by the way

Coming back to this 2 yrs later to say this is one of the high watermarks of the hobby. Was thinking of it fondly recently, and decided to come back and watch this miniseries again!

Is like hearing talk your drunk, divorced uncle

I'm a tad confused on this? A Square in a town?
