[@CharlesMcCall-nf9xq]

Woo hoo! Managed a draw! 😂

[@theministryofminiatures]

@@CharlesMcCall-nf9xq I know… I thought I had the victory right up to the last urn. Spoiler: That FUBAR cost me the game!

[@RubberToeYT]

Really enjoyed the battle concept, great video and armies

[@theministryofminiatures]

Thank you, we had great fun playing it too 👍🏻

[@darrensbattlebunker]

All three sides look amazing. Loving the 8th army, your matilda looks so much better than mine. My blue is too blue. Great battle rep as always. Looking forward to all the v3 content. I'm gonna need more arty

[@theministryofminiatures]

@@darrensbattlebunker thanks for the great feedback, glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻 I think I will need some more artillery too!

[@darrensbattlebunker]

@@theministryofminiatures I'm thinking 25 and 17 pounders

[@theministryofminiatures]

@darrenpenson2930 yes staple for a British army 👍🏻

[@TheGreyWolf94]

Great game! Definitely a corker to more than likely close V2 on! Always a pleasure being part of Ricks Germans 🫡. Thanks as always guys!

[@theministryofminiatures]

Haha! Yes he now insists on having Grey Wolf as his officer 👍🏻

[@jdmcdonald4258]

Looking forward to the game, but quick question.The Indian Army list as per p23 in the Duel in the Sun campaign book, it states that you can trade all 3 British Army special rules for free reg 10 man rifle squad and being allowed to re-roll failed morale checks for inf & art, ie you do not retain the free art observer. Is there another Indian Army list that I'm not aware of?

[@theministryofminiatures]

The army list is the 1940-42 Commonwealth Infantry Brigade from the Western Desert… they forgo the usual British traits and replace it with Indian: Unsurpassed Bravery. This doesn’t impact on the free observer, but does prevent them from having any of the British characteristics. This is one of the reasons why the free units have been removed from3rd ed, and my last chance to utilise it in a game!

[@jdmcdonald4258]

@@theministryofminiatures Many thanks, but I think the re-roll for morale is better than the free art observer. I'm happy to play with the new rules in Ed3, but I dislike the new army lists. I have the main armies with numerous options, but have Italian, Finnish and Hungarian armies of @ 1,000 pts and do not wish to make my current campaign books redundant. I'll probably play Ed 2.5. Great game and board.

[@theministryofminiatures]

Thanks, we have found the same… some in our group have several 1000 point armies and feel that they cannot play without buying some more bits. We are looking at our armies to see what we can do to make them fit as best as possible… we might have to help each other out with some spares to make the armies work. 👍🏻🤞🏻

40:30 shouldn't this rifle escape? 8 - 1pin -1 for being lonely is 6 and you rolled 7 on the dice. German oficer should run too 9 -2pin -1 for being lonely.but apart from that it's a very nice game.I would love to see 2v2 or 1v1v1v1 with Germany, UK, USA and Japan

[@theministryofminiatures]

No, where does it say -1 to morale for being alone? I haven’t seen that before. You get -1 to firing for being alone as there is no loader… the only penalty is-1 for pin. Hope this helps!?

[@theministryofminiatures]

No need, we are moving on to 3rd edition so this is probably our last game of version 2.

[@antonipruszewicz439]

​​@@theministryofminiaturesI found this, on page 42 it says that "Crewed weapons and weapons teams don't heve specific model as leaders, but if the team is reduced to one last crewman, it also suffers a -1 penalty to its morale value innthe same way" it is written next to the "Squad Leaders" paragraph. so all in all, the officer would survive, but the AT rifle certainly wouldn't

[@theministryofminiatures]

So it does… thanks, I have never played that, nor have anyone in any of the games I have played… But as I said, we are moving onto v3 so the team has this rule as the person with the weapon is classed as the NCO in the new version. Every day is a school day 👍🏻 The main thing, as Warlord Games say… if you are having fun, you are doing it right. Hopefully you still Enjoyed it 👍🏻 thanks for the feedback
