Man 'O War in the Old World Battle Report Chaos v Empire

[@d-rex7043]

Sheeeet.. I used to have the Man O' War main box and a fleet of Sea/High elves. My mate was squats. I think he had paddlers and subs that I would slice through with my big ship... good times

[@WiltrichsMiniatureArt]

Brilliant! Thank you for doing these classic game battle reports. Loved watching this.

[@Jimbo818]

Very cool, thank you for hosting me! ***spoliers*** I think if your sorcerer hadn't gone down the plug hole, it would have been a very different outcome - my whole strategy was 'get the sorcerer', but your dice got him for me turn one 🎉 If anyone wants some winners dice 😅 the blue ones are meant to glow in the dark and are from Hex and Co in NYC (thank you to my wife) and the purple, who are typically treacherous, are from HammerHouse in Singapore 🎲

@@Jimbo818 thanks again James and I hope you come back to Japan next year so I can demand a rematch ( with new dice lol ) Yeah I made quite a few mistakes there with the MoW ships also mainly. But will paint some other Khorne ships to have some variety next time we play. Have to order me those dice though lol

[@Cosper79]

When I was younger, my shop had a guy that sold Warhammer stuff, mostly 40K and Epic, but behind the counter, he had bits and pieces of Man O War. I was very intrigued by it, but this was before the internet, so finding info was basically impossible. We never played it at the shop, and so I always had the bug to play it. I did finally buy a copy of the game, and I found a dude on ebay that sold entire armies. Anyway just wanted to ramble about my experience with this game. Id love to see a true reboot for it.

[@AlexanderKrebs]

Awesome! Remebering my visit in Nottingham in 1997 at GWs Headquarters. There were vitrines full of minis. And the Man O War models were also there. But you can’t buy them anymore but I loved them. Maybe 3D printing helps?

[@thecrownofcommand5830]

Yeah there are loads of good 3D Printing options available. Check out our Discord group and the Man 'O War Facebook group for links. Cheers

[@turret75]

Unless I'm mistaken with the live comments but a few rules mistakes were made: _ plaguecrushers have 2 dice attack hence their catapult template with 2 possible dmg but cant shoot over ships Iron Fists or Great Leveller _ flyers arent ships so you cant target them with spells if its stated that way on the card. Missing others but you get the idea. Everything can be houseruled of course and that may be what happened. ;) Great video; fleets are great looking. Need more. 😎

[@Jimbo818]

Unsure about the plague crushers, but flyers can be targeted with magic: MAGIC AND FLYERS Spells may be cast against Flyers just as if they were ships. Any spells that cause damage, set locations ablaze, or kill crew will cause one wound against the Flyer for each point of damage done.

Yeah although it's on a flight stand it just skims over the surface of the waves and can be attacked and boarded like other ships

[@Nodwick123]

@@Cam_of_Warwick OK, when I seen it in the old WDs I always was thinking it was like a flyer going 50-200m above the water shooting down on other ships and you needed ranged weapons to hit it or other flyers.

[@Jimbo818]

The tower and the flying horror can be attacked and aren't flyers as such, but they can't be harmed below the waterline - so rams and behemoth attacks plus the leviathans special ability aren't effective.

Yep. Too many sea monsters... you completely outshined all the beautifully painted ships for 90% of the game to be decided by sea monsters. Bleh. 13:00 in before a ship even fires a weapon. Just.. meh.

[@Jimbo818]

That's actually a flyer the lord of change not a sea monster and he took a beating from the ships (who are a cheap chaff unit). It's rare to see the sea monsters used, plus also they add some randomness, the Leviathan killed a friendly ship and took wounds in return. I agree in general though, a couple less monsters could have improved it, but part of that choice was down to what had been painted 😅
