11 Bolt Action Battle Report: Desert Rats vs Afrika Korps

[@bringbattlewargaming8720]

Good game. Brutal end result.

Haha! Yes, Olaf is relatively new to the game so we did discuss elements off camera, however the points were important for our game progress so I didn’t go too easy! Glad you enjoyed the game.

good video, the dynamic is well-balanced, it keeps me interested. I appreciate the battlefield ambience in the background also. if you desire to improve anything, consider increasing the stability of the camera and maybe add more zoomed out big picture shots, however it is acceptable as it is. cool game, entertaining video, thank you!

[@theministryofminiatures]

Hi, thanks for the comments and feedback, always appreciated when it’s constructive 👍🏻 We ditched the ambient battle noise as a few people didn’t like it, so later video’s don’t have this. The recording is done on my mobile, so hard to keep steady, but I have tried to get better, hopefully some of our more recent videos will be better quality. Thanks again and glad you enjoyed it.

The Grant should have had a -1 pen in round 2 when shooting at ling range at the 8-rad which would have not been a penetrating hit

[@theministryofminiatures]

Thanks, hope you still enjoyed the game.

I might be missing something, but when the Grant shot at the Pzlll why were you throwing D3 pins for the hits? Surely an AT shot is just one pin.

[@theministryofminiatures]

Good point, I didn’t specify AT, so was using HE rules, might need to read that section again 👍🏻

[@wolfgangschorn8639]

nice play ! Rules question: Is it o.k. to place your mortar spotter first and move your mortar onto the field later? could you really do that?

[@theministryofminiatures]

Yes, absolutely. He forward deploys as he doesn’t have his own dice… otherwise you would have a mortar that can’t fire for most of the game while the spotter gets in place. Hope that helps!?

German player can't roll an order check for his life

[@theministryofminiatures]

Yes, sometimes it just isn’t your day… and sometimes it is, unfortunate luck, but was a fun game nonetheless!

[@Anexelegtos]

i dont get it why when playing Afrika Korps people will not utilize the Shutzen Squad... 80pts for 2 lmgs is crazy... best things that happened to German Armies in the last 2years...

[@theministryofminiatures]

Yes, they are good value and with the buzzsaw rule, they are almost a must!

[@Anexelegtos]

@@theministryofminiatures well they had to give something after they killed tiger fear as a rule

[@RR-le4gm]

Nice batrep! I like your channel a lot but my wife doesn’t. You made me spend a bunch of money on a D-Day beach mat and some bunkers. 😂

[@theministryofminiatures]

Haha! Love it, she will come round… see it as an investment 😂 Thanks for your support 👍🏻
