[@AkaEbone]

@12:08 "We had to go towards these two guys on the roof", pyrion was referring to the two men in the middle of the frame, not the ones on the edges, editor circled the wrong guys Not incredibly important but I wanted to let you guys know anyways ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Regardless of that small oopsie, these videos are fucking hilarious and I love them! Please keep up the great work

[@GamesNight]

@@AkaEbone Well spotted, thank you!

[@judechauhan6715]

Title is "How Pyrion Flax infiltrated" but he is the defending Germans!

[@TopLob]

This was a full-on action movie. Even with the last-minute, by the skin of their teeth victory for the good guys. They even discovered the Nazis' top secret info that bears are in fact, like all mammals, very vulnerable to bullets.

[@the-potato-warrior]

@@GamesNightthe bad guys won ww2

[@nukehead4428]

Pflax versus Lewis is such a good dynamic

[@CaaaaamOnYT]

yeah they really need to figure out some sort of 3 way game cause tom lewis and pflax are all just fucking class

[@masonmorais250]

Feels to me like they make a perfect mix of chaos and proper role play that just hits the spot for me

[@KyleDevy]

Always a good laugh with this combo

[@robtew8214]

Such a good setup. My favourite combination.

[@harrumphreys4841]

I’d love for Sips to make a surprise guest appearance 1hr in as a lost Canadian paratrooper. “Hey guys what’s going on got a big dick”

[@festusmaximus4111]

when I was in the SAS, this video was used as training footage...

[@nicksteele9436]

Ben's got a record of training armed forces.

[@Emperorhirohito19272]

Pyrion doing an accent is always such a joy

[@BSideWasTaken]

Attempting. Attempting an accent. xD

[@helplmchoking]

"Not so fast Herr Brindley 🥸🃏"

[@normtrooper4392]

😂😂😂​

[@AsbestosMuffins]

love the bold "Your bomb was sabotaged" card followed by "your bomb explodes instantly" card play there

[@normtrooper4392]

"Not so fast Herr Brindley" 🥸🃏

[@peterbaker5615]

I actually agree that you're putting out the best Battle Reports on YT! Production quality and pure passion levels are stupidly high. ❤

[@conninator2000]

I'd love to see them more often but I know nothing about the amount of work it takes behind the scenes - though ben definitely pours his heart into this and you can see by just how amazing each one is. Would always love more but do what's healthy, possible, and fun while keeping the quality sky high as its always been :)

[@TheNugettinage]

@@conninator2000 I think a lot of it depends on what amount of the miniatures is done by how many people. If Ben does them mostly alone, then the fact that a lot of these games have had quite a few custom minis mean that it took him a long time to set up for them (though this is off set by him being a long time miniatures gamer and probably having a bunch of units already painted). While the production for the actual videos is also time consuming - probably a whole day of filming of the game plus the afterward bit they have there, as well as a long time for editors to pick out the right moments and put in just enough info to keep the viewer engaged but not overwhelm them with the rules - the minis are probably the one thing that would take them the most time, if they do it themselves.

[@luketfer]

@@TheNugettinage Not only that but they do other things as well as this. If this were their sole thing, like Play on Tabletops 40k in 40 minutes which has a team of painters, players and editors, then I could see getting a new video out every three to four days but Ben, Lewis etc. also have to record TTT, GTA etc. plus they also do their livestreams.

[@conninator2000]

@TheNugettinage yup definitely. He puts in a crap load of work for a lot of custom minis and different game styles. Some stuff can be reused, though, like ww2 minis for various scenarios or some lotr figures in the campaign they are doing. Im not complaining at all though - I'd rather wait and have ben do what he loves than sacrifice that pace.

[@AberrantChibi]

I love that, although this is a very realistic scenario (like the Bolt Action ones), there is just that little bit of Benny-Ben-Ben throwing in a little pinch of fantasy. Like zombies. Or summoning a Starspawn and a pegasus with a knight on the back. Or doctor Jones.

[@The_Qwertologist]

Or the bears.

[@ummmhelp]

the german commander was so utterly overkilled by the bears I can only imagine a cartoon fight cloud ending with a bear and a pile of dust where he used to be

[@weezact7]

The bear runs up on the Commandant who does a quick turn and his eyes pop out of his head looney-tunes style as the bear just uppercuts him right out of his boots into the air and we never see him again

[@leetri]

@@weezact7 We just see the twinkle of his bald head on the night sky

[@jonasquinn7977]

I read this halfway though the video and all I can think about is where the fuck the bears come from

[@dronicom]

While I was in the SAS, we were trained to fight cyborg bears. Simple stuff. It was part of basic training

[@olknoxlo]

Dogs still trip ya’ll up though. Basically little bears.

[@Candoran2]

Lovely editing as always. Always impressive to me how they can get a complete session in such a relatively short span of time, without leaving me feeling like I've missed something.

[@luketalbot2643]

The little homebrew additions that Ben pulls out for these episodes make them so much more fun!

[@Cyadragon]

Every single video is like a movie with all the twists and turns!

[@bushybeardedbear]

I love that the burned animal parts and frozen salmon actually ended up being foreshadowing. I had *_never_* expected War Bears!

[@colbysimpson5936]

Pflax is so amazing in these. Please keep having this wholesome gent in these!

[@mor3gan285]

As someone who doesn't play table top game, these games always seem one-sided to start, but it becomes so tense in the end.

[@ZephyrTM101]

Asymmetrical games are always really fun!

[@MrWayneDX]

"What are you even looking at? That's gravel! Not Secret Nazi Gravel!"

[@comment8454]

Just gravel!

[@garr_inc]

8:43

[@FreshlyBakedLePain]

When I saw Lewis was playing the British I wondered who they found who could be a more convincing Evil Commandant, and then they introduced Flax and it all made sense.

[@SpydrXIII]

i want a movie of all the goofy interpretations they had, like pretending to be a tank trap when the guard puts the flashlight on them, and it working.

[@raptorjesues1445]

I seriously cannot make clear just how great both this and mystery quest are. Really making my day everytime one comes out

[@toddp.6279]

Thrilling and amazing as always. Every genre so far has been a win - you guys can't miss (except with some of shooting rolls). It may not fit your brand, but I'd love to see some Baron's War some day.

[@iPaintSmallThings]

I second the "loving the lil' bits of Wolfenstein sci-fi bits" opinion. Amazing video as always! It really felt like a fun campy movie.

[@Pratalax]

That was fantastic, so dramatic!! Hamish's sprints, Donkey's heroic distraction, the leaping warbear...so good. The edit of Donkey terminatoring in the puddle of acid cracked me xD

[@AceArata]

The edits get better and better each episode! Loved the terminator reference, and LEWIS FINALLY WON ONE OF THESE

[@danlynch3885]

As always, you guys work magic showing the system without explaining. I'm always so invested in the battles, without knowing the rules. One of your best yet.

[@jonasquinn7977]

I love these WW2 games with weird stuff thrown in, it makes me want a Wolfenstein miniatures game

[@FindTheFun]

The way this plays out is basically shot for shot the beginning of Chicken Run.

[@wisecrack4545]

Finally got around to watching this. Amazing as ever. As an aside, immediately upon seeing the terrain on this board, it felt like an X com terror mission map from the original games. Replace some of the WW2 era bits with some modern day vehciles and other terrain, and you'd have the grounds for an XCOM scenario. It would be right up Ben's alley, and I'm sure they could easily customize some other game's rule-set for it - maybe Infinity the game).

[@WizardBrandon]

ooo

[@MadhouseMinis]

The nighttime lighting effects are awesome! Really set the tone

[@parkwaydrivern5089]

Loved the batrep! Always love the little sci-fi/fantastical twists you add to your historical games to make the batreps truly unique. The fun and energy you guys have as you play is truly infectious as you watch!

[@AceArata]

The editing is getting better and better every episode. And i dont just mean the visual editing, but the editing between shots and audio - *when* we hear the after action, and when we hear the live action. As an example, earlier episodes like the LOTR one (ep 2 when?) Would sometimes have the after action tell us how the rolls go before we actually got to see the roll. These vids get more immersive every release, and I am SO going to dedicate some money for a membership to this channel. Best Yogs content hands down.

[@Selvunwindful]

Absolutely incredible model switches. Really love the extra work in these reports.

[@jrsoggaming8690]

Ben, this is amazing! Thank you guys so much for Games Night content, I love it so much! Pyrion and Lewis have to be the best dynamic for war gaming. Love it, love it, love it!

[@notsanni]

i love these battle reports, especially when they have a fun gimmick tucked away

[@Mechanisttm]

These surely are the best battle reports on KZbin. The narrative and editing is excellent and very entertaining

[@kaieastwood3373]

Donkeys noble sacrifice is why hes the pride of the uniform. And the Victoria Cross is also referred to as Donkeys medal

[@Adj4ni]

I say it every game nights at this point: My membership is one of my favorite investment. I love these so much.

[@GamesNight]

Thank you! Your support is the only way we can keep doing this - we salute you!

[@A2Ztigers]

"Not so fast, Herr Lewis" Iconic Herr Flax quote

[@CoolToMe_]

The whole production of this is insane. These must take ages to complete from start to finish.

[@jamesroocie9564]

The editing on these videos is so good, I find myself watching them at least twice every time one is uploaded.

[@markhenderson6389]

Amazing play through and AAR! Full of action, drama, tension and wild surprises at every turn! I'd love to see a movie of this. Exceptionally produced and best of all hilariously fun!

[@wraithship]

I pitty people who never explore outside 40k and so never find this amazing content

[@carlosgutierrez3918]

So I have Dyslexia and I first read the title as "Can the Brits infiltrate Santa's German base"

[@Swarbie8D]

These Bolt Action batreps are great, I really like the framing of it as the players discussing the match after the fact with footage cut in. Also, Giant Nazi Bears is a fantastic concept; I love the quirky/weird elements you add to these games!

[@tallleprechaun1318]

So, fun fact, one of the German squadrons in WWII actually had a bear called Bobbi as their mascot. Everyone loved him and when it came time that they had to kill the bear they had to ask a different squadron to do it because none of them could bring themselves to do it. The bear was 400lbs so too heavy to move and had been raised in a zoo/with the squadron so couldn't survive in the wild.

[@edwardwilliams3216]

The story telling on Games Night keeps me engaged with Yogscast. I look forward to these videos.

[@stormhawk4277]

I like to imagine that the "Release the.. whatever it is!" and the "Oh, Jesus!" were the Komandant's actual words if this were an actual battle.

[@philipkelly7369]

Love this. Love the rules set, love the board and minis, the scenario, the players, the GM. Love it.

[@Unjustself]

Wow I was actually really nervous and hoping for an allied win. So cool how you bring tension and drama to a tabletop game

[@freeb455]

My first real thought of the video: wait a minute! Lewis is playing the good guys! That never happens! This is gonna be good.

[@acebomber41]

Anytime a new one of these vids pops up, I immediately play it.

[@luxzhoori]

This is peak content for me. Thanks for the hard work!

[@CharlotteRowe12]

This was really good. Pflax was so amusing here.

[@peterixon8708]

Absolutely enthralling game lads. Just loved it; and I now have to buy the rules! Thanks so much for a very entertaining video

[@eleanorbrushia]

these are genuinely such fun videos, perfect editing, perfect cast, absolutely delightful fun for my tuesday night

[@MattAnd]

Amazing as always! Love the content on this channel - you guys always do a great job in all aspects! The maps/minis look great, the editing is on point, and it looks like you all enjoy it!

[@woodyfx]

This truly is the best and most entertaining battle report I have ever seen! Well done ..bravo!

[@lliamdavis6950]

I'm not sure how the allies won the war while the axis had such wonder weapons as these in the video! Keep it up, I absolutely love the videos, perfect content to watch while building and painting some new epic space marines (cough cough would be cool for a video)

[@thomasmarshmusic8568]

This is by far the best miniature series on this platform. I love the stories that emerge from them!

[@NTD97]

Your paint jobs are amazing! Love watching these bolt action videos cause they’re really well edited together. Any chance of 4K in the future? It be nice to see the details

[@Misheva]

These videos are just amazing- thanks for doing so much on this channel!

[@Shmikester]

Love these guys, keep them coming!

[@Deathbystrudel]

That Terminator reference was such a nice touch

[@DannyQM]

You guys make such good battle reports, so much more engaging than most others i've seen.

[@HandleyHalifax]

i love these videos, and especially love Ben being games master...starts off as a "serious game" and then BAM...warbears....he always knows exactly how to add silliness and stupidity to a game in exactly the right amount so that the game is even more fun without ruining it

[@Wilbehr]

Time tokens seem insanely brutal from an outside perspective

[@Syndehy42]

I know nothing about table top gaming and I absolutely love these videos

[@ChanceBrunton]

These videos are so good. I can bear-ly believe the surprise twists Ben comes up with, Lewis and Pyrion are especially fantastic when they get into character doing the voices and bringing life to the characters, and the editors do am amazing job of bringing it all together and adding lots of little details like the thumbs up in the acid. I can't wait for the next one!

[@MasterAferit]

These really are the best narrative battle reports. So well done, keep up the amazing work.

[@snoopcatt6064]

It's always a good day when they post a new battle report video

[@abbywhyman2462]

"we're gonna use this as training" I mean the dutch might want to

[@Thesecretcabal]

Hey now! Amazing play-through! This is my first time watching one of your videos and its so well done and I'll be back for more. I had a question though, the title says "Battle Report: Bolt Action" and in the video you say "Battle Report 02 Hundred Hours". I searched around for awhile and feel like I figured everything out but I cannot find a correlation between Bolt Action and 02 Hundred Hours. They're two different publishers, rulesets, and minis ranges. Am I missing something? Despite my initial confusion I ordered the 02 Hundred Hours starter set based on this play-through. Thanks for the great vid!

[@aethernaut1899]

0200: The Prequel to Honey Heist

[@kdg8076]

This was gold. Love the bear twist. P flax is too good in these hope there is more in store.

[@WhatsUpGazpacho]

Can I just say how fun you make this for an audience This is the first video I've seen from this channel & I love the special effects in the edit. It's just helpful or interesting. Proper job right there. Oh and you all were having fun. I've not heard of 0200 hours until now. It seems cool. Plus all that terrain and painted minis really make it Nice one

[@SlayerOfWorlds]

The komadant needs to come back as the scientists cyborg experiment

[@andreasottohansen7338]

15:30 Captain Price making too much noise, just makes me think of CoD2 Price yelling "MACGREGOR!", as the afformentioned MacGregor is taking his sweet time fixing a scout car while under fire.

[@PossumMedic]

13:06 - The fiendish plan to show all of Britain that their food is bland 🤣 Great battle report! Thanks! :D Sounds fun! I'll have to look into this!

[@murphyngton]

Ah, perfect! I was hoping for 02 Hundred Hours!

[@nicholashandy5964]

Still hoping for part 2 of that lord of the rings game pretty please

[@FairyWitch175]

That demoman, saved on the roof by his friend. They find the truck together with salmon, but his friend blows up, and the salmon from that truck distracted the dog enough to get away, fantastic

[@cameronframent8976]

I love your battle report format SO MUCH! I really do. Thank you. Keep ‘em coming.

[@Chipperz1]

"Hey, how are you doing tod-" "NOT SO FAR HERR BRINDLEY!" Excellent :P

[@misomiso8228]

Great stuff! Would love... 1) A 'Classic' 40k BR, maybe Imperial Guard v Chaos Spacemarines? Or Ultramarines v Black Legion? Something classic please! 2) Some games of Exploding kittens!!! The old vids are from a long time ago and production values at Yogscast have gone up since then!!! You could do a mini series and play with the original game, then with one expansion per additional episode to explore the etra cards, and finally a mega game with ALL the expansions! Love Yogs!

[@okram2k]

I love these videos so much. It's very clear you all are having so much fun in them and it makes the videos a lot more enjoyable to watch.

[@pkscarr]

I like how a lot of these WW2 games with wierd science and occult elements could fit seamlessly into the world of the Wolfenstein games and no-one would bat an eyelid

[@TheOnlyOrk]

I love the comedy + gameplay mix of these

[@scoutobrien3406]

The salmon shipments were a perfect silly hint for Panzerbjorn.

[@babalusch]

The value of these reports is outstanding! Please also turn to other lesser known games

[@dillydraws]

This felt like a movie holy heck

[@rymaster106]

God dang I love Plax in these. Ben you are killing it, sad to see you get stabbed in the main channel content but if it brings us more of this, it was worth it

[@Chewy501]

first time watching these war game videos you guys do. Insanley well edited love it def gonna watch more

[@north-west-3935]

Some of the coolest videos on the internet- Incredible production quality as always!

[@SmokeLauncher]

Always appreciate the editing and special effects in these. Love these videos even though I know nothing about the games you play.

[@tayloreddesigns6852]

The 0 important info in the rubble was Hilarious!

[@Gallaelwyd]

I wish these were easier to setup, if they released in tandem with mystery quest's schedule, it would be the dream. Everything is so well done

[@Grzybasek]

I do love your playthroughs! They are sooooo fun!

[@oreocreme3857]

Amazing callback from Ben to the Dutch military using a Tom & Ben Rimworld stream.

[@TheSpeedyCola]

love the amazingly detailed map design fellas really well done!

[@NateBear-vw7sf]

I only found your channel last month but I am loving it. Keep up the good work chaps!

[@ryttyr14]

I know these tabletop games probably are designed to be this well balanced that it often do come down to the wire like this each time but at the same time I'd kinda like to see a video where one of them manages to get the upper hand early on and just steamroll the game just to prove that these videos aren't scripted to come down to the wire each time. Like, I know these aren't actually scripted and that it is just that they play some really well balanced games, but at the same time I feel like at least one time probability would dictate that one of them either messes up real bad or rolls real bad several rounds in a row and just looses the entire game because of it. Like, Lewis blew his cover and raised the alarm distressingly early in this game and yet he still managed to win due to rolling incredibly well when sneaking about. Like, probability could equally have screwed him over completely and so he would have been toast in this game. It just doesn't feel reasonable that he'd roll that well so often as to cover up a big mistake he made and make a comeback. It almost feels scripted but I know it is not and that it is just the game itself having been designed in a very well balanced way.

[@dougpowers]

Very jealous of that terrain. Gorgeous.
