A fine return of the BG battle reports, look forward to more soon. Not scattering timed barrages is something I usually forget too.

[@TheAcceptableCasualties]

We always forgot about those Timed Barrage rules. It's not as big of a deal when Vin's scatter on top of his own units though :)

[@philrobinson7747]

The Acceptable Casualties played Piers Road to Starpel scenario yesterday and guess what I forgot😂

[@Lehr-km5be]

Was waiting for another BG game and it is finally here!

[@techsaint]

Have you thought about doing the Desert War. Plenty of options with Brits, Yanks, Germans and Italians.

[@TheAcceptableCasualties]

We're discussing that now. I want to build up an Italian force but I still need to talk Vin into covering his half of the bargain. He seems to be pushing for Early War French or Winter War Fins. I might need to pull my "Big Brother" card on this one :)

[@techsaint]

The Acceptable Casualties The Winter War is just Finns versus Russians. Whilst the Desert War has more scope.

[@yurdonebacon]

Good to see you back!

[@calerdonian]

Look forward to the next one :) nice vid

[@thereddragon2323]

Awesome to see a new battle report! Thank you :)

[@TheAcceptableCasualties]

Thanks for watching! Hopefully we can get the next one out pretty quick.

[@tabletopgeneralsde310]

Nice to see some batreps from you again.

[@TheAcceptableCasualties]

Thanks, TG. Hopefully we'll stay out of retirement this time around :)

[@tabletopgeneralsde310]

@@TheAcceptableCasualties, that would be cool, missed them and started my own project meanwhile.

[@techsaint]

Missed you guys. Welcome back.

[@TheAcceptableCasualties]

Trust me when I say we missed playing BG and doing the batreps :)

[@iratespartan13]

Nice job lads! Stugsational!

[@oneyedpillock]

Just to remind you in battlegroupe rules timed barrage don't scatter they come with a pre-registered target point.

[@TheAcceptableCasualties]

I totally forgot about that. Thats what I get for being so rusty :)

[@oneyedpillock]

Still a good battle.

[@walkaboutgamez2502]

Sweet !!! Awesome to see BG game

[@tommasomartini9872]

Great rep guys eager to see more of those Commies in action! you are back just as me and my friend are starting playing BG more seriously, so great timing there! We are starting in Normandy and eventually we will make our way to Russia 42-43 since we have decided to split a Russian army at some point in the future 😄

[@TheAcceptableCasualties]

Awesome. What armies do you guys play now? We'll be jumping around between all eras of the war on the Eastern front.

[@tommasomartini9872]

@@TheAcceptableCasualties I have got US ( building an armoured plat almost complete) and Panzergrenadier (2 full inf platoons and Stugs for days) , my friend he has a bunch of Brits and SS so we can cover basically every theatre and we can interchange. We just need the Russians now! Glad you will be covering Eastern Front

[@PanzerSchule]

Keep them coming!

[@michaelcarlin9153]

Thanks, Really enjoyed that. Great terrain and figures! Keep em coming...

[@TheAcceptableCasualties]

Thanks, will do!

[@2ManyHobbies16]

Still got plans for more battlegroup ?? Subscribed !!!

[@tigerterrorist79]

yay! another great BG batrep! great to be back

[@Ralai14]

More!

[@devildriver2101]

so glad your back

[@scottmellon4549]

Any plans for Northag? I just played and really liked what they've done, and now I have a good game to play with my Team Yankee mondels :}

[@TheAcceptableCasualties]

I probably won't dip into cold war / moderns anytime soon. How are you liking Northag compared to Team Yankee?

[@scottmellon4549]

@@TheAcceptableCasualties No comparison. I bought into Team Yankee because I really liked the models. Team Yankee seems to some how be a complicated beer and pretzels game. Northag manages to take BG and bring it to a larger scale without losing the game play, and adding some really interesting elements. The staggered arrival of your units really makes you think about your list, more than BG I think. And the accelerated chit pull really brings the tension on fast.

Kant wait to get started w/ thiz gæm

[@RockinL7BuckingBulls]

Dude where ya been? Happy to see a post. Missed your videos.

[@TheAcceptableCasualties]

Ive been doing more rules writing than actual gaming. Im trying to flip that script :)

[@guythomas7051]

I haven't come across these rules before but i lost interest when they said a tank had been "pinned" what exactly is that simulating ? how do you pin a tank, yes infantry can be pinned own (forced to cower in fear " but how are a tank crew pinned - if you are in atank being shot at you move - you don't cower down in fear, sorry that's just too "gamey" for my taste.

[@TheAcceptableCasualties]

I think they use the term "Pinned" for consistencies sake when it comes to the rules writing. My guess is that it could be just another way to say the tank crew has been shell shocked by an incoming shell or a grenade going off in/near the turret.

[@offtemp5733]

Have you played chain of command? And if you have how do you think it compares to Battle group?

[@TheAcceptableCasualties]

Ive only played CoC twice and I had a good time playing it but I prefer the BG mechanics. I wasn't a big fan of the assault phase or armored combat for CoC but I loved how they handled deployment before the game starts. I wouldn't feel right comparing the two due to my limited experience with CoC.

[@wilburbrown4219]

Where do you get the buildings from, they look like railroad ho scale?

[@WARdROBEPlaysWWII]

They appear to be primarily 4Ground

[@wilburbrown4219]

Thanks

[@TheAcceptableCasualties]

Those are 15mm 4ground buildings and the farmhouse is from Kreative Scenery.

[@wilburbrown4219]

The Acceptable Casualties thanks I wish to build up my collection

[@Ralai14]

More reports soon?

[@WARdROBEPlaysWWII]

How’d you guys find it playing with individual figures vs group stands?

[@TheAcceptableCasualties]

Visually I prefer playing with individual stands, I think it looks a lot better on the table. From an actual quality of life perspective I think the individual basing works well for small platoon sized games in 15mm but once it gets to company sized and bigger it can get a bit annoying moving 100 soviets across the table for an URA! charge :)

[@WARdROBEPlaysWWII]

That road! : )

[@TheAcceptableCasualties]

Ive tried multiple combinations of that road set and there is no getting away from it if I use that "end" piece :)

[@thegremlin3194]

What scale is this ?
