3:30 If someone tried to start that airplane while it is missing a propeller blade, then the plane would shake violently for a few seconds before the engine tears itself off of its mounts and spins away, before stopping from losing its fuel supply. This is because the center of gravity for a propeller must sit exactly in the middle of the driveshaft, otherwise it acts as a giant rumble motor as the propeller spins. Honestly, very fitting for an Indiana Jones movie. Source: I am a pilot and an armchair aeronautical engineer. Also, a blade separation just like this happened in flight to a twin-engined Piper Navajo in the 90’s, with the right engine losing a propeller blade, that engine shaking itself off of the airplane as described, while the detached blade hit and broke the propeller on the left engine on its way out, causing that engine to stop. The pilot briefly lost control of the plane, but was able to recover and crash landed into an open field, everyone surviving with minor injuries: aviation-safety.net/wikibase/187270

[@RDR911]

Now THAT sounds like a fun Indiana Jones setpiece.

[@ReturntoSpender]

Badass!

[@LeeAndergen]

The moment that came up in the video I thought "I wonder if someone commented about that" And lo and behold

[@RoosterFloyd]

I was imagining that the loss of a propeller may be sustainable long enough for an emergency landing, if you were in the air, but no way would it be able to take off. Completely forgot to take into account the balance of the blades tearing the engine from it's mounting.

[@Delaterius]

It turns into a Rumble Pak. Got it.

It does also help to have someone who doesn't have a direct stake in the game to go "could you do this... Yeah, sure, if you roll me... Another 6? Nice."

[@blongash7215]

Half wargame half role playing game, this is such a cool concept with a great execution!

[@darksteelhero1]

This is actually very similar to how the original Warhammer Fantasy operated before it went full wargame.

[@Ninjat126]

If you're a fan of this style of gameplay, it's fairly well supported even in the modern day! 40k spawned the quite successful Necromunda, and then the fantasy version Mordheim. Same simple premise: build a gang of unsavoury characters, get into fights with other gangs to earn loot and glory, with each "game" you play having some persistent impact on your local playgroup's ongoing "campaign." Example: Red Gang and Blue Gang both show up to game night & decide to play, they roll the random scenario "ambush" and Red Gang delivers a brutal beatdown. Blue Gang's heaviest hitter gets shanked and, despite his crew's best efforts, the doc can't save him. So now Blue Gang has lost a champion to an (unprovoked) ambush, which stings, and the rest of the gang (plus the player) want revenge against the Red Gang idiot who did it. Meanwhile the leader of Yellow Gang is in an absolute fury, because Red Gang "stole their kill" and now looks like they could be a serious threat. Yellow challenges Red, and they agree to meet on an especially dangerous battlefield, where horrible (and permanent) injury awaits any ganger that doesn't watch their step. Secretly (but openly to the players, of course), Red Gang contacts Green Gang for backup, and the four gangs meet for a brutal 2v2 honour duel. Of course, -someone- decides to cheat...

I *absolutely* **love** the funky hero characters you guys do - The standard heroes like Indy, Dad's Army, and Luke Skywalker do genuinely ABSURD things, but the little heroes, like Sgt. Trauma, the Artillery Officers, and the Childcatcher General are just funny and heroic in their own ways!

[@SgtSprinklezGaming]

My favorite part of these is always Ben telling Pyrion he needs an incredibly unlikely series of rolls, and Pyrion does it almost every time. Then the opposite with Lewis where he needs to roll a 2 or something, and somehow fails.

The 25pdr is a howitzer though, or rather to be specific, a gun-howitzer.

In ben's defense, he got his info from the rules of Bolt Action, which differentiate the two, calling the next size up of artillery a "howitzer"

[@Broccli87]

As a Indiana Jones fan i loved this scenario was so much fun

[@tyrannicalchocolate]

The little smoke and fire effects are amazing, I'm sure they're a headache to create, but they add so much to the visuals. Keep up the good work!

[@WINNER1212]

This was so awesome great "gm" and admin work Ben, you did do some good book rules, and great job to the editor too it's really nicely done. this is probably the best war gaming series I've ever seen!

[@JRC2397]

A cool scenario could be to set them up trying to capture a strange thing that fell from space, and when they go to take a look at it, it's full of like tyranids or something and they have to kinda work together to beat them. I wonder how much they'd have left at that point though

[@NoFlu]

And Idea for a 1v1vGM scenario I had one time, was an evacuation scenario, but the GM had a TigerII and a few infantry units. The Tiger 2, couldn't be destroyed, only knocked out for 1 turn. Could be done similar but Ben get's a Baneblade and 2 units of Space Marine (alternatively, some larger tyrranid unit and 2 unity of genestealers or sth), while the others get a regular Bolt Action WW2 army. Maybe they make it a city map like Stalingrad, where both Germans and Soviets want to abandon the city, otherwise maybe Soviet vs Finish troops who discovered an extraterrestrial strike force in the most norther provinces (bonus points for skiing rules for the latter....

[@joshcorbett9674]

Well akchually Ben, * pushes glasses* the 25pdr was a howitzer So in an effort to be right you are wrong

[@darsol5651]

Glad someone else said it. For anyone wondering why, in modern nomenclature a howitzer is any artillery piece capable of both high angle and low angle fire. Field guns are low angle only (like AT guns and such) and mortars are high angle only. A 25 Pounder was primarily used as indirect artillery, but was capable of direct firing as needed.
