Hold Until Relieved [Bolt Action Battle Report] | Cinematic Tabletop

#boltaction #battlereport #batrep #paratroopers #panzer #warlordgames #ww2
In this, the 4th chapter following the exploits of Leftenant Hartnell and the men of the British 5th Parachute Brigade, the Paras face their toughest enemy yet: the 21st Panzer Division of the German Wehrmacht. Lead by Leutnant Deutscher, the armoured platoon rumbles towards Horsa Bridge with orders to destroy it at all costs. Conversely, Hartnell has been tasked with holding the bridge intact until relieved by Lord Lovat's 1st Special Service Brigade. Will the Paras accomplish their mission or will they be crushed under the tracks of Wehrmacht panzers?
This battle report features a 993 point British reinforced platoon vs a 1249 point German armoured platoon in a modified Hold Until Relieved scenario. On a personal note, I have to say that this was one of the most hectic (and fun) games of Bolt Action I've had the pleasure of playing in a long while. I hope you enjoy watching it!

Glorious! Simply glorious. If Oscars where awarded for battle reports...you sir would sweep the board! Very well done...thank you.

[@cinematictabletop]

You're too kind. 😁

[@dsymechetanpadulkar5952]

That last British AT gunner deserves medal he fought so hard destroyed stug single-handedly later died like a hero 😂❤

[@cinematictabletop]

I know right? That's what I love about this game, the stories write themselves!

[@troymoffat8710]

Definitely the best one yet! Perfect after work entertainment :)

[@cinematictabletop]

Thanks champ! ❤

[@currentseer8919]

British player rolled absolute gas on every turn. Great bat rep.

[@HappyHungrySleepy23]

This is great!

[@cinematictabletop]

Thank you!

[@masonex490]

models look glorious

[@WARdROBEPlaysWWII]

Well done dude

[@cinematictabletop]

Thanks!

[@darrenpenson2930]

Absolutely love these battle reports. I have never laughed so hard at the little comments by the soldiers. 😂😂 keep up the great work

[@cinematictabletop]

Cheers! I figured it'd make for a more engaging watch with some silly humour liberally sprinkled throughout the battle report.

[@alexbaratosy1400]

Such a good video. And its just going to keep getting better.

[@Skaven_is_greatest]

Great video. We need to see more of that German Goliath team.

[@cinematictabletop]

They performed bloody well for a (let's be honest) novelty unit didn't they?

[@masonex490]

yess!! here we go. watching this on my night shift break tonight. great video again! love these so much keep up the awesome work

[@cinematictabletop]

Cheers. Enjoy!

[@ChrisS-fh7zt]

Total bloodbath with a lot of casualties on both sides (kill dice). But here is something that raised American baseball homeplate structure on the Goliath means that it has a petrol engine, if it is flat across the back, then it means it has a electric motor variant. I have played around with the Goliath a few times but I still will take my Soviet dog mines between the two if given the choice. Can't wait to see the next episode.

[@cinematictabletop]

Yep, the dog mines are better but I just love the dieselpunk aesthetic of the goliath.

[@Andy_T_BA]

Love how you put your Bat Reps together. Keep up the good work sir

[@cinematictabletop]

Thanks, and I will. :)

[@brucefallon]

Best battle reports on KZbin hands down!!! Thanks for another great one my friend.

[@dressoxX]

amazing video please never stop producing theseee

[@cinematictabletop]

Thanks, comments like this make the 80+ hours of work I put into these videos worth it. 😊

[@dressoxX]

@@cinematictabletop definitely are worth it man!!! btw just a suggestion, why dont you share these on the multiple bolt actions groups in Facebook. you will find a lot of support there im sure!!! me an my mate with whom i play BA we watch all your content. and we re based in Dubai! hahahaha

[@cinematictabletop]

@@dressoxX That's awesome! The last video I posted on there got less than 10 views (from Facebook) so I've been promoting elsewhere. But if you want to spread the word, please be my guest. ❤

[@dressoxX]

@@cinematictabletop i meant sharing on groups!! let me do it im sure new people will come :D. my way of supporting you brother

[@cinematictabletop]

@@dressoxX Wow, you're the best! ❤

[@LordGrumpus]

Absolutely fantastic video! You have set the bar to a new high. Say, who makes that box girder bridge? Looks sharp! Also: everytime I hear that bit about “ hold until relieved…..” in that film , I can’t help but picture Obi -Wan’s spectral form hovering over Major Howard. “…hold until relieved….” 😂 anyhoo, carry on! Great work !🥳🍻👏😎

[@cinematictabletop]

Thanks! I think I got the bridge from Kristoff Designs, pre-painted too. Was a few years ago now.

[@LordGrumpus]

@@cinematictabletop oh cool, I’ve got a few buildings from them. Have a good one! 👍🏼

[@shanesomerville6115]

Just found your channel. I've watched a ton of batreps on KZbin for BA and all sorts of games, yours is easily my favorite now. Keep it up, love the WW2 narration you do and the energy you have!

[@cinematictabletop]

Thanks! I'm surprised no one thought of doing them this way before.

[@shanesomerville6115]

@Cinematic Tabletop it takes a lot of effort and care, and not everyone can keep from burning out when they keep putting in that effort. My sincere hope is that you keep it up. These have been great to watch!

[@karlcook2490]

I loved this! Absolutely awesome, I hope you make more. I thought about how funny and cool these videos are the next day at work. So thank you so much. can't wait to see more cinematic BA. Well done guys

[@cinematictabletop]

Thanks, and you bet there'll be more! Spread the word, tell your friends, I want to enlist anyone and everyone who's got eyes and ears to help the channel grow!

[@rpwarke9316]

Fantastic entertainment and very helpful to introduce new guys to Bolt Action and wargaming in general. My hat is off to you sir!

[@cinematictabletop]

Thanks! Very kind of you to say.

[@densonconnii133]

You have single-handedly gotten me back into BA with your brilliant Battle report/improv videos

If you liked this battle report, make sure to check out the X Detachment series as well. It's an ongoing series about the SAS fighting the Wehrmacht behind enemy lines.

Wonderful video! A lot of work in it too.

[@62seano]

Just came across your channel, What a brilliant battle report, one of the best i've seen really enjoyed it

[@jeffthomas3707]

Brilliant concept. A refreshing change from the standard battle report where 2 bespectacled, bearded men talk for 5 minutes between actions.

[@cinematictabletop]

Thanks!

[@stephenbriddon2796]

Well produced. I was very engaged.

[@cinematictabletop]

Thanks, glad you liked it.

[@johnhurst3737]

Funny as f@#k i loved it😂😂

[@senint]

Nice! This style of battle reporting looks interesting to try (someday with other stopmotion heavy channel :joy: )!

[@cinematictabletop]

It's time-intensive busywork, but the end result is pretty cool in my opinion.

[@senint]

@@cinematictabletop Agreed. I can see this style easy to adapt to any tabletop game. 🤔

[@shiro4ever]

Wow, what a breath of fresh air! Warlord should pay you, honestly. Curious what software you use for your editing and post-production effects?

[@cinematictabletop]

Thanks, I might hit them up after a few more videos. 🤣 All editing and effects are done with Filmora. Very KZbin-friendly software.

@@cinematictabletop ha, don't worry. Keep up the great work. Have been tempted to do battle reports as have made a massive board to play on. Just nice to see others enjoying a great game

[@cinematictabletop]

@@andrewfranklin6217 Thanks for the kind words. Still working this thing out and seeing as its just for fun have just been doing single takes for the most part.

[@c3aloha]

Great job. How do you resolve the PIAT attack on infantry? House rule?

[@cinematictabletop]

Thanks. Just use rules out of the box as far as I know for that one.

[@unit0033]

hopefully not another german win, they definitely not balanced as win all the matches ive seen online
