Thanks for your kind words! We have fun doing this-Mikey

[@tri-starwargaming]

Ti ringraziamo moltissimo per le tue parole, soprattutto in questi tempi, un abbraccio forte a tutti noi Italiani... Avanti! - Salvo.

Thank you very much! We enjoy your channel too (:

[@MiniatureRealms]

@@tri-starwargaming Thank you

[@mateuszmarstawowy4558]

Grat stuff. Mooooooore :).

[@rebeccacutrona8313]

I am not a wargamer (my husband is) but I cannot help by feeling sorry for Jon and his Brits! Fun to watch despite the dice Gods ;)

[@tri-starwargaming]

Jon's bad luck with the British usually results in me having bad luck in all our other games lol-Mikey

[@marcellocolombarini1653]

Great game ti watch!

[@tri-starwargaming]

Thanks! It was enjoyable to play even if the UK didn't perform as well as we'd hoped-Mikey

[@Salty_Sassenach]

I spoke with Warlord Games about an Italian army project & was told that plastic infantry are coming out later in the year. No other details other than infantry. I’ll wait for the new releases before I start my army.

[@tri-starwargaming]

I've heard the same thing. Excited to see the new sculpts-Mikey

[@Salty_Sassenach]

@@tri-starwargaming Just wondering if your Italian army is Perry miniatures or Warlord Games or another manufacturer??? Also Just wondering wether you have got a paint guide for the Italian North African army???

[@tri-starwargaming]

They are all Warlord sculpts. I don't have a formal paint guide however can tell you what colors I used and where. I base coated them with a spray can of Vallejo US Khaki. Skin was Gamea workshop bugmans glow, back pack, canteen and boot wraps was US olive drab green, shoes were model color leather brown, rifles were GW mournfang brown. For the feathers and other black bits and bobs I used model color black. Bersaglieri hat pin was model color scarlet red with a dot of white scar in the middle. Everything got a light coat of GW agrax earthshade. Hopes this helps-Mikey

[@Salty_Sassenach]

@@tri-starwargaming Thanks for the information. Happy wargaming 👍

[@drblasphemy]

In answer to the question about Medics being able to claim or contest objectives, they cannot (BA Hardback Rulebook p.83 Medics/Geneva Convention). Keep the Bersaglieri. In my experience, the best way to defeat Veteran troops is to use HE or weapons with AP (usuallly autocannons) against them or pin them to ineffectiveness. I've enjoyed your BA batreps so far. Keep up the good work!

[@tri-starwargaming]

Thanks for the feedback and we have 1 vote for keeping the Veterans-Mikey

[@pumpletumplethetrumple2825]

Why are the tanks green below?

[@tri-starwargaming]

If you are referring to them being inexperienced it's a scenario specific list requirement

[@danielmoody5867]

Cool are you using a house rule that transport don't get captured because that ipc would of been gone

[@tri-starwargaming]

Yes, good catch, we discussed this off camera. We tried to keep some action in the hands of the Brits.

[@LastRussianEmporer]

I picked up some italian models does anyone know which colour to paint the uniforms they used on the European and Russian fronts?

[@tri-starwargaming]

From the research I've done I've seen dark greens ans khaki as the predominant European uniform colors-Mikey

[@walkswithwhiskey]

I am totally confused by the red dice showing 6, do some not have that seal?

[@walkswithwhiskey]

1:17:24

[@tri-starwargaming]

Good catch! Yes some dice don't have one.

[@karlososborne346]

One very important question.. where did you get that hat from, because I want one? 🤣

[@tri-starwargaming]

I'm glad you like it. I put it together with a safari hat from Amazon, some fake ostrich feathers and some replica Italian tanker goggles from eBay Mikey

[@karlososborne346]

My girlfriend is Italian and she thinks I should wear one whilst I'm playing bolt action with my Italians 🤣

[@tri-starwargaming]

I agree 100%-Mikey

[@artbagley1406]

Anything but a 1. And it's a ... 1. And so the lousy rolls continue into this scenario! UGH! Good luck, Tommies! A couple 6s assuage some pain, but follow-up rolls to capitalize on the 6s go "pfffft."

[@tri-starwargaming]

It's definitely been painful to watch Jon's rolls-Mikey

[@marctitley7020]

Charging veterans is not a good idea. You need to shoot them at distance, use the British rule where you get extra shooting dice. Create pins. The brits will do better. Good game, enjoying these videos.

[@tri-starwargaming]

Thanks for the feedback. We have been surprised at how these 1st two games have gone. Definitely hoping the UK brings the heat next game-Mikey

[@weirdwwii8775]

Great game! Love the minis, banter between players and production value. Love the flag backgrounds but your German and Japanese ones are off as national flags. The Japanese one is a IJN battle flag and the German one is way off. Look forward to the next battle report and the only thing I can say about your playing, ROLL BETTER! ;)

[@tri-starwargaming]

Thanks for the feedback! Some of the flag choices were made out of preference, some on availability at time of purchase and others in effort to represent the country without raising eyebrows-Mikey

[@tri-starwargaming]

And yes! Jon does need to roll better lol-Mikey
