Mark, first off, this was a cool and endearing video. Second, I see some people making a fuss about you using MidWinter's tutorials. Don't let some people's opinions shame you into anything. MidWinter's channel is pretty good for beginners; I know thanks to it I made big progress with my Blackstone Fortress box. Now, people criticizing MW come from one of two fronts: either his personal life (the whole Penny/infidelity deal) which I think is irrelevant -- it would be relevant if you were a friend of his or of Penny's, but otherwise nobody should meddle with their personal affairs -- or about his comments about wargamers and WW2. The second thing I think is overblown, Guy made some very reasonable observations -- which I've seen in personal experience too -- that were blown out of proportion by people with an axe to grind. It's not like his channel even features this kind of observations regularly, either.

Well done Charlie

I have to agree with @smithjack1741, did you see what midwinter minis said about historical gaming, the guy is not to be sited as a paragon of wargaming please distance yourself from his channel and content i know i have.

Really cool and good work Charlie. I can’t wait to introduce my son to warhammer one day.

I wouldn't say Midwinter sets the best example to follow.

Great job Charlie keep up the good work! You should run a game at Fall In! I have an in with the director…..

It’s awesome you are doing something with your son. But Warhammer. Ick 🤣 Edit: great job on the first space marines! I hope you have fun!!

Thank you so much for sharing Charlie! I hope you had a blast painting your first mini!

Well done, Charlie!!! And cool support by your Dad!

Oh. the historical miniature shame....😂😂. But like darth vader you can rescue him from the dark side.....wait...wasnt darth the "Dad"......are we the dark side???😅

In the grim dark future...............

Around to the right..... 😮

Little Wars put up a podcast titled Is Miniature Air Combat Boring? This seems like trolling to me. Maybe MGR should post a video titled Is No Videos for Three Months Boring?

what the F does all that load music have to do with miniature gaming

Gettysburg is perhaps the most accurate war film ever made and yet these jackasses want to pick it apart as if it was supposed to be a documentary.

I'll always remember my Dad's story about how the NCO's f-ed with the young soldiers who were gonna be shipped off to Korea. Their Sergeants went into horrific and painful detail about how there was a "Testicle injection" that features a 5 inch very thick needle that was sooooo painful many GI's actually passed out from the pain. On "Vaccination day" a line of hundreds of New recruits were in single file line waiting to go into a medical tent in the middle of a huge lawn area.As the GI's left many were crawling and crying hysterically -- most were grabbing their family jewels and in obvious intense "pain." Talk about scaring the crap out of every soldier in that line. When my Dad got in to get his "shot'"he said the biggest meanest looking SGT said "BOY if you don't act like this is the most painful thing that has ever happened to you -- I'll hunt you down !!". Then he got a single shot in one arm. And yes he said he did an Academy Award performance grasping his nuts and SCREAMING as he exited the tent !!!!! LOL

My Dad fought in Korea 1950-51. The first 6 months of that war was absolutely terrible. I separate that time frame based on lack of supplies. Rifles and grenades against Tanks. Anyway, as a kid I would try to get my Dad to talk about it. He told me apologizing saying if he talked about it too much, the nightmares would start up. Miss you Dad

More rankings please

Really enjoyed watching this game!

While you 6 guys are watching the BOB video I thought it would be nice if we watched with you not looking at your reactions. 😮

LGBTQ+ gets the whole month of June, and Veterans get Memorial Day and Veterans day.

This was absolutely amazing! Great job!!

My grandad served in the Canadian Army in Sicily and Italy - and yes. NEVER talked about it. I think he saw some really terrible things that he just didn't want to think about or remember. He was a good man. He was (understandably) rather emotionally distant most of the time and was happiest working in his garden alone and loved his raspberry patch and cherry trees. He didn't care much for violence or war and was very pacifistic, especially considering he was a combat veteran. I remember the war in Afghanistan making him very upset, especially when he saw civilian casualties on the news. It was probably the most emotionally expressive I ever saw him.

Knght's cross worn at he neck

I had such a great time at the game room! Matt was a great opponent and genuinely great guy. This is a professional operation no doubt. What an asset to the gaming community. Can’t wait to return and kick some more a$$.

Another great FITS game! Win or lose, you had fun!

Where are the Del Val gamers?

Poor Mark. They cards were rigged. Lol. Great gaming!

👍👍

That guy is definitely a Phillies fan

Great game really enjoyed it 🤠🤠🤠

Jack Armstrong lives!

Great game, I am still in the process of getting my air forces together. Your models are looking great, how are you getting the scaled insignas for the B17 bombers and Spitfires, and Luftwaffen? I am currently painting the insignias and as you can imagine they are not consistent.

My great uncle was supposed to land at Omaha in the first wave as he was in an engineer battalion as a motorcycle messenger. Their barge got hit by artillery on the way in then the current caught then. The captain, sergeant and himself on that barge were the only non casualties. The Brits recovered their barge as it entered their or the Canadian beaches.

No IMPETUS? I find the Dadi e Pombo rules generally really good.

Campaign games as a series of bombing missions is the way to go with this. Add B-24's to Europe and B-26's (Catch 22??) with a series of mission attacks on Italy etc. Early BoB with HE111, Doniers and JU88's with Spits and Hurries. Pacific isn't as many mission types as I recall except 1945 B29's, Franks Tonys and Jacks.

Nice video! Suggestions: print the squardron identifiers on Avery labels. It'll eliminate the cutting and pasting. Align all your magnets on the table with the proper polarity facing down Put a drop of superglue on the up face and press the rod onto the magnet and hold til set. This avoids fumbling the magnets & getting the glue on your fingers.

So nice that the whole gang in the family room had to talk and laugh over the only known interview of George. Backed it up 5 times and still can't get all of what he was trying to say.

Grouchy would never have 'discussed' his plans with any of his 3 corps commanders, Excelmans, Vandame or Gerard, making it worse was their dislike of seeing Grouchy promoted over their heads. A stew pot of bad feeling. On the Prussian side, many of their officer distrusted the Duke of Wellington, it was only Blucher's determination that got any Prussians anywhere and late to boot!....

Wow. I didn’t know Herodotus was still alive. Cool. I’m glad he learned English so I could understand him!

Driving to save the Emperor of France in a VW 😆

Charlie for the win 🧔🏽‍♂️

I guess they went to take the pictures together!

Remeber that Germany had at least 50 companys who had a war as troubling as that of easy company.

Thanks for the review, grabbed a copy - better yet Amazon has it on sale right now 5/4/24. Win-win.
