Army Men: Battle of the Backyard | Micro Wars 6

[@tacticaltyler6792]

Considering the ending of Plastic Apocalypse, and the lack of Army Men Stop Motion on YT, seeing some truly amazing stuff makes me happy. Your content has been damn good for years, and seeing the improvement is even better!!

[@jerrycloud4033]

Feel the same here.

[@HarenunHoppus]

Wait, there wont be anymore plastic apocalypse? Nooooo

[@tacticaltyler6792]

@@HarenunHoppus Yup. Akerman sold his entire army men collection to make money for his film project 'Revillie'(Not sure I'm spelling that completely right). So officially, the Plastic Apocalypse series has ended. I'm unaware if he cares if anyone continues the series, and as much as i would enjoy such a thing, i don't think people could live up to Michaels projects.

Merry Christmas and hey I love your videos keep going at it🎄😁👍

[@kamikazefilmproductions]

I need to get back into stop motion....

[@KoishiVibin]

Analysis: These operations seem to indicate that the hover tanks are not really tanks at all, but more... Well, along the lines of heavily protected Stryker MGS systems that float.

[@spamuraigranatabru1149]

When armour cannot keep pace of anti tank weapons, design would be wiser to not repeat the M48/M60 design style of just add more steel till it is either replaced.

[@domingofung]

Or alien tanks....

[@WalkerTheSpy]

Possibly. How easy it was to melt them with SABOT/HEAT rounds yet they had the firepower to pop an Abrams. However, they had to get in close to get in range of the Abrams so I'm thinking of a cavalry tank with great kinetic energy rounds. Could possibly be a cav tank due to their ability to hover without being bogged down by armor.

[@tristanbackup2536]

Yeah. But with the tech inside, they outclass our MBTs in 1v1 scenarios.

[@stalecoolranchdoritos3966]

Basic tactics displayed, a simple fire mission for artillery, basic commands for tank engagements both voiced correctly and displayed, and armor isn't portrayed as invincible; outstanding! And the result of the battle, with higher casualties, because of the platoon leader's delay in withdrawing from higher, and the radio chatter sounds good! I mean literally, as other comments have said, this channel can do seemingly what noone else hardly does. Truly great work!

[@Ongezellig_American]

no scouting lol

[@shadow7988]

@@Ongezellig_American Technically they did, that's why there where different groups of armor. Hoplite was the advanced party, effectively doing recon-in-force. The others were supposed to follow them up once the battle was properly underway, but obviously the aliens had other things in mind and quashed the momentum of the battle from pretty early on.

[@Sovereignty2112]

Bro shut up

[@deathcoveproductions1595]

Does anyone else love the fact that there are words on the tank's barrels "Diplomacy Failed", "Black Star", and "Black Echo."

[@KoishiVibin]

Recommended actions: Begin design of M1UA. Tank reinforced with increased thickness armor and reactives. Utilization weapon coilgun from Project MARAUDER Redeploy units to defensive stance, deploy groundbased defense Centurion Begin design of Breakwater laser defense gun Begin design of F35D. Aircraft reinforced with longer range weapons to maintain standoff against new enemy weapons. Utilization of captured antigravity equipment to allow for extreme maneuvers without airframe destruction

[@DocWolph]

>> Recommendations under consideration. >> Additional recommendations: > higher emphasis on mobility > Higher capacity of survivability for troops and armor versus enemy plasma weapons. > Possible deployment of anti armor countermeasures. > Improved sensor capabilities > Distinct lack of enemy air power may necessitate use of more effective ground attack aircraft (A-10, AH-64 and similar vehicles or variants of same).

[@awesometails8743]

@@DocWolph 🤔

[@g3tshotheett]

Higher recommendation LAST STAND HAVE HOWZER,Apaches,Cobra A-10’s. Send special forces and forwards observers to do DA’s and Commit air strikes Final option Nuke Everything I call have every one evacuate the house evacuation order APRIL.

[@Omega_1111]

Possible correction, replace F35Ds with F14Ds or MIG-31s (if Russianequipment is available) better long range aircraft with surperior long range missiles guarentee much better long range anti-air power with only the loss of barely functional stealth. Unless you meant for ground strike, in which case again, A10s, F16s, F18s, or even Tornados would be a better option.

RIP Hoplite. Let us never forget those who journeyed into the howling dark and did not return.

[@bible91]

Let’s go!! I swear every time you upload, your vfx somehow keep improving, I thought I was going to lose my mind when the jets got involved. Love the use of Mega Construx soldiers to show the tank crews, love that the aliens still feel like a credible threat without it feeling like a “Gun, Big Gun, Bigger Gun.” trope, love how intense and soul wrenching you managed to set the mood when things get turn around at the end. Only real thing that gave me pause is the lack of Kalythians and Xanzon working together again since in the previous episodes it always felt like this monumental moment when enemies were able to come together against the bigger threat. Granted, it does make sense that a few cooperative moments won’t erase their previous wars, just something that caught my attention. With all that said, you were top notch eight years ago and you continue to be top notch. Keep up the great work!

[@BlackStarInitiative]

Thanks mate

[@davidgomez6387]

Man you literally should make a movie like the episodes that you make are so good

[@BBBOI853]

THE WAIT WAS WORTH IT!!! But not to see base camp be destroyed :(

[@zuberk8812]

I was at the edge of tears of excitement, I've been a loooong time fan of stop motion wars like these and it's been a really long time since I saw something like this, made those 11 minutes feel like 2 minutes. Definitely subscribing, congratulations!

[@coltm4a186]

This series is my childhood army men imaginary battles come to life and I love how epic this is.

[@InterstellarModeler]

i used to make videos with my son using plastic army men and remote controlled robots and dinosaurs. Reminded me of those days. Great job, wow. This is on another level for sure.

[@richardthompson4520]

Black Star Initiative thank you for the work that you do. Always a true honor to watch a new video. Hope to one day see you get the credit that you deserve for all your hard work. Good shit man

[@caseydmitriev7962]

absolutely caught me off guard how good this is, excellent work in actually capturing that feeling of being immersed in the battle!

[@brwils3378]

It all started in my neighbors backyard! We all thought it would never come to my backyard, but one dreadful day it did. All is lost,

[@TheOz91]

I have the KZbin algorithm to thank for me to be here! This is a superb series. Combining VFX and stop motion has to be extremely time consuming! And the voice acting in this one is definitely the best yet. You guys have gone a long way. Can't wait for part 7, and how our heroes will continue fighting after such a devastating loss. Of course, would love to know more about the Saurians, too!

[@DiegoHernandez-qo2pc]

A soldier fights not bc he hates what's infront of him but bc he loves what's behind him,friends,family,fellow soldiers,and a country or state he will serve and protect at all cost

[@Crazyfrog41]

This shows just how AMAZING Battlefield 5s music was... When paired with a good story, and great animation... that ending had me in tears

[@Serial_Designation_Okamoto]

Can I make some Suggestions: Have more Countries Join in. Have the Allies Use Equipment from Destroyed Alien Vehicles. I love how you make your videos and every new video I see improvements, keep up the great work and I hope your Holiday goes great for you BlackStarInitative :)

[@GIGroundNPound]

As a vet and grown ass man, I have to say that I will never not find vids with small army men extremely appealing....carry on good sir, carry on!

Damn, that voice actor did a good job on those screams, holy shit

[@angelist]

We love your science fiction videos. Thank you...

[@tucanstudios2978]

These are my favourite stop motions. The story is awesome the war is not one sided. And the animation is excellent

[@WilliamAftonstudios]

I love the lore of this series: the xanzon had a captured saurian cannon maybe the saurians had been on earth before and had planned the invasion for a long time and the communication blockage mentioned may have been for the xanzon and the kalythian to figth each other and make them an easier target also the alien generals mentioned in ep 5 that they were waiting for their air wing which means they have the ability to take on kalythian and xanzon jets or also intercept CAS missions, and these new tanks can fire at a faster rate than their predecessors, also some saurian soldiers have orange markings on their uniforms maybe they are special forces of some kind, I'm excited for the next chapter Also: i'm not sure if i write the aliens name rigth

[@doggy7210]

Just want to take a moment to appreciate the ultimate sacrifice that these brave plastic soldiers have made.

[@Vulpine407]

Sorry I missed this when it premiered. Wow. Sooo much improvement on what was already great. Love your new voice actors. Your new techniques in filmography are awesome. As for the story... Damn! $#!% just got real!

The first video I watched, AMAZING stop motion, great explosion graphics, could not find anything wrong with this. Great job! Good luck in future videos!

[@JamieFHarbert]

This is really great work congratulations the fire rate rate is a bit low for M1 tanks just saying real US Army crews would at least 4 times that many rounds down range but still you put a lot of hard work it to this did way better job than I could have and I think you are doing really great stuff here I hope you can do a lot more.

I see it “Different” Motivation Dreams Illusions Initiative IMAGINATION Not hearing others but yourself All this and more makes things HAPPEN! This is a good example of what can get done when you make your dreams happen Nothing stops you when you have a dream and you think on how it would be, what would you need IF, then after that comes IMPROVEMENTS! How you reach your improvements???… whit trial, there is no mistakes! No, never, unless you repeat them those same mistakes and you expect a different outcome. Even then, you may miss a few details in those mistakes, but at least you are trying…and learning Never, but never hear those voices in your head, telling what can be done and what not…until you try them for yourself! That’s YOUR experience! Glad I found your channel Not sure how old you are Keep up the good work You moved me in tears Thanks!
