[@TexasBoltAction]

E-4 Airman thanks very muc. Im glad you are enjoying the batreps! I need to do another one soon! I mostly play Chain of Command now.

[@brianmann7208]

Is love to play on a board like that. Well done guys.

[@sonofdorn5557]

Great BatRep, love the historical accuracy as much as can be done on tabletop. Love the pics, really puts battle in perspective.

[@TexasBoltAction]

James Piper hey thanks very much James! Yeah, it’s hard to capture those vast distances on the tabletop. I am starting to get into 20mm figures though so maybe I can capture it better in that scale!

[@vc7526]

Very nice! Well done historic scenario. Great battle board. I like that it's not the typical thing with flat plateaus. Gives a very good, realistic feeling! Thanks for sharing.

[@TexasBoltAction]

BattleBird thanks! Hoping to have more for you soon! In the meantime check out the channel! Ive got lots of historicalish vids with multiple levels for ya!

[@NoiseVisual]

Where did you buy those M3 half-track AT, the T48 or T12 with 75mm?

[@NoiseVisual]

And is it 1/56 scale?

[@inhocsignovinces1419]

Have you checked Blitzkrieg Miniatures (found at Sherwood Games for North America players) and JTFM Enterprises’ Die Waffenkammer Miniatures? Both of them offer 1/56th (28mm) scale vehicles.

[@BearGrisham]

How big is the table you’re playing on?

[@TexasBoltAction]

12x6

[@Kili121416]

That is a big game ! Well done for a really well presented game and a well deserved award.

[@TexasBoltAction]

Kili121416 thanks!

[@AlexBabcock-hw9iz]

Great looking board and the models were outstading. Wish I could of been there looks like it was a lot of fun.

[@TexasBoltAction]

Chris P. Bacon it was a lot of fun!

[@e-4airman124]

wow what a game great

[@Nightster87]

Congrats on the award Tyler! Let's gett together for a game soon!

[@TexasBoltAction]

Luther Starr , Sounds great!

[@panosan9961]

Great video.. what colours use to paint all these german tanks?

[@jdg6668]

Nice table. Why would you mix the US tank platoons? The US did not mix platoons or companies. The US Army only had 37mm ATGs no 57mm ATGs. Also no German Sdkfz 7/1s either.

[@TexasBoltAction]

jdg it’s Bolt Action so I was more just trying to add a flavor of everything that was at the battle which actually took place over miles.

[@wargamesalamaison5360]

très belle peinture!!

[@Archaoen]

Wish the Batrep was longer.

[@TexasBoltAction]

Archaoen me too man! Sorry, the games last as long as they last. At the mercey of the game and players. Thats how you know it isn’t staged I suppose.

[@TexasBoltAction]

Archaoen planning to do more desert games soon.

[@dapperbrapper]

good stuff sir.

[@David-ey9jg]

Seriously? Beautiful terrain and models and crappy bottle tops for Pin markers? I despair.

[@stephenbriddon2796]

It’s nice but your camerawork is making me 😵‍💫

[@TheRiflemanUK]

Noice!!!!

[@klauszoidberg999]

great batrep models and terrain, but absolutely unwinnable for the german player. I hope this is considered purely as "historic" and not as balanced.

[@TexasBoltAction]

Klaus Zoidberg it’s the battle of El Guettar. It’s designed with an American advantage in mind.

[@kartchner7]

insert patton movie comment here.

[@TexasBoltAction]

kartchner7 don’t worry I think I got it in there!
