A Fully Narrative Wargame Experiment - TURNIP28 Battle Report

An impromptu tabletop battle report made in our spare time, highly inspired by Dawn of War in its narrative framing, playing our favorite Inq28/Blanchitsu-inspired post-apocalyptic napoleonic wargame - Turnip28!
We kinda just started filming in the middle of the battle and went from there.
Behold the battle of the wills betwixt hag and hog.
Who will win, and who will sink in the slurry..?
This video is not sponsored, but look here for more info on Turnip28: / turnip28
The rules are free!!!
Thank you Max for letting us use some of your artwork and for making cool tabletop game!

The image of a completely checked-out officer half-heartedly ordering his men to cannibalize each other, until a Mushroom Man stands alone, overcome with righteous purpose, and somehow fires 45 shots in 6 seconds with a goddam musket...is so overwhelmingly funny that I had to pause the video because I was laughing too hard.

Hello! I'm a big fan of Turnip28, but I don't think I've ever actually enjoyed watching a battle report in my life, despite many attempts. I thoroughly enjoyed this video from start to finish. The fact I could follow what happened in the game but there was zero downtime and the narrative was fully voiced and in character was completely game changing for me. Probably helps that Turnip28 lends itself well to goofy humour as well - this didn't feel like a parody over anything other than just a story in that universe. 10/10 please do more of this

We need a rule were you roll a d6, use that many other d6 for the next throw and the summ of that is the total amount of dice used for the final throw which shows the damage finally. Pros: damage ranging from nonexistent to beast ending. Cons: need 36 dice once in a while, but thats negated by being a serious wargamer, who has more dice than one could understand.

Sweet god, what is this monstrosity of a game? I love it

[@Misclicking_orc]

Turnip 28. It’s a weird miniature agnostic game. There are some free rules online.

[@moistenvelopes]

Idk but look at those SNOUTS

[@Mrkabrat]

3:20 I recognise some of those minis; the nun one seems to be from the Lead Adventures miniatures and theres also Mad Matilda, a mini sculpted from a Bosch painting I believe

[@Bluecho4]

I'm surprised it took this long for Bruva Alfabusa to embrace the _rootish horror_ that is Turnip28. But nonetheless, I am _delighted beyond wooooooooooords!_ For those unfamiliar with Turnip28, this is basically the exact tone the game goes for. It's great.

[@paulgrabner540]

As long as you guys keep having fun with this, please make more.

[@geistincarnate]

The battle reports were some of my favorite parts of TTS so this was a delight-doing my part to feed the algorithim so we can see hopefully see more in the future!

[@nuckchorris499]

Holy shit, a battle report that has entertained me. And it has done so thoroughly. I BEG THAT MORE OF THIS SETTING BE USED ON YOUR CHANNEL ITS TOO GOOD

[@RaptorZefier]

More, I didn't even know what Turnip28 was, and this has opened my eyes. It's amazing, I would adore more of these Dawn of War style battle reports for any sort of tabletop game.

[@manolo7490]

It's been a year I need more of this

[@Salvationtower]

This brings me back to your genestealer cult stuff with the funny little goat people. Amazing stuff and quite disgusting.

[@Bluecho4]

Bruva Alfabusa's "Goatstealer Cults" is what made me think Turnip28 is the perfect game for him. Their "vibes" are totally in concordance.

[@Salvationtower]

@@Bluecho4 oh most certainly. A it's the filthiest, most downtrodden and horrid game I can think of. It's like it was written for him 😊

[@kenneth.tattoos]

I'm revisiting this battle report and it is legitimately hilarious. Maybe the best battle report I've ever seen. I would fund a whole campaign of this.

[@happyyet5387]

"gets his fingernail stuck in a tank trap - and dies immediately. The rest mourn his loss and don't move another inch." I don't know why, but this broke me. Mr. Alfabusa, your ability to craft such comedic gold from anything with what seems to be natural Macguyver-esque talent never ceases to entertain. P.S. Moar Boy episodes ples. Clearly Boy is the chosen one, and we must see his journey as he protects the precious Smerples from both Camarilla killers (Camarillers?) and the Demon-Horse corrupted Fleas that we all know Horse has been shedding all over the place. Will Boy be up to the challenge? We must know! For Boys Bulbous Bempire!

[@mightymarty9548]

the initial dialogue between the hag and knog reminds me of Dark crusade when the commanders would diss each other, great stuff!

[@gfefighter8510]

this felt like a fever dream

[@zacmalm3048]

I had no idea what Turnip28 was when I first saw the thumbnail, but after even just a small amount of research, I am delighted! Hopinng for more narrative Battle Reports in the future, if it's as fun to make as it looks.

[@aldgate]

I genuinely love the miniatures and the whimsical nature of the battle report, reminds me of medieval folklore and drawings. You also characterise them so well.

[@mobylka]

BEST WAR-REPORT EVER! wellp, now I need more.

[@cynicalgarbage5811]

I laughed, I cried, I shitted. I need more of of this stuff!

[@supersiamesisk]

This is, hands down, THE best battle report I've seen on KZbin.

[@MrZEPYRO]

Mushroom Man had me crying my bowels out at work… it was so hard to keep me from loosing all the air in my lungs… Thank you Karl… you almost killed me. Try again.

[@CreationDominion]

I have no idea whats going on, yet am thoroughly entertained. Bravo
